Detailed Test Results

Video Quality: Daytime pictures are as fairly sharp and clear, though not as much as the better models, which means you can see most but not all of the details and subtle patterns in the scene. At nighttime, the video is mediocre: quite viewable but not as bright or clear as the better models.

Data security: This model has very good security. It has many of the important protections for your recordings and personal data.

Data privacy: Aqara offers only a mediocre level of control and transparency over your data. They are not doing as good a job as others are with regard to collecting only necessary data, giving you control over its use, and limiting how your data is shared or sold.

Response time: This model sends its alerts to its app within 11.3 seconds on average, which is Very slow, severely impeding your ability to to be responsive to its alerts.

Smart features: It works with smart-home systems such as Amazon Alexa, Apple HomeKit, Apple Siri, and Google Assistant. You'll need to install the Aqara Home app on your smartphone. Aqara claims this model has recognition algorithms that can detect people. Aqara may offer additional features that require a subscription and/or a firmware update.
