The Aqara Doorbell Camera Hub G410 boasts impressive upgrades including 2K video, end-to-end encryption, and mmWave sensor for accurate person detection. It functions as a smart home hub, integrating with Aqara and Matter devices.

Aqara revealed the long-awaited update to its Video Doorbell G4 at CES this week, and it looks like it’s been worth the wait. The Aqara Doorbell Camera Hub G410 adds 2K video quality, a 4:3 aspect ratio, and end-to-end encryption on live and recorded video.

It works with Aqara’s new Panel Hub S1 Plus, which can act as a video intercom inside your house. There are a few disappointments, though.

Its weather rating is still IPX3, meaning it really needs to be mounted under a porch or something similar to protect against heavy rainfall. The doorbell’s smart alerts are limited to people and motion — there are no package, animal, or vehicle alerts (but you can get them through Apple Home). It also only records clips for up to 12 seconds at a tim
