Aqara, a leading provider of smart home products, announces the wide availability of the Company\u2019s first smart video doorbell, the G4, on global markets. This 1080p doorbell features wide compatibility with third-party smart home platforms such as Apple Home, Alexa and Google Home, and it is equipped with on-device AI to enable local facial recognition alerts and automation. Together with the Company\u2019s indoor cameras, the video doorbell G4 helps users keep an eye on their homes, families and visitors anytime, anywhere. The device is now available on Aqara\u2019s Amazon brand stores in both North America (US<\/a>, Canada<\/a>) and Europe (France<\/a>, Germany<\/a>, Italy<\/a>, Spain<\/a>, UK<\/a>) as well as via selective Aqara retailers<\/a> worldwide1<\/sup><\/sup>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Similar to Aqara\u2019s Camera Hub G3, the Aqara Smart Video Doorbell G4 features AI-based facial recognition, which is executed locally on device for faster response and privacy protection. Moreover, facial recognition of the doorbell can be used as an automation trigger, allowing users to set up customized home automation for different families and visitors. For example, the welcome home scene will be activated when the G4 recognizes a family member coming home. Or in the case that it detects the postman, the doorbell will play a pre-recorded message. When connected to other Aqara devices, the G4 doorbell can also be a strong addition to the Aqara Home alert system as it not only monitors the activities around the front porch but also lets out a loud siren in case of home intrusion and other emergencies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Apart from the Aqara ecosystem, the G4 doorbell also supports major\u00a0third-party\u00a0smart home\u00a0platforms\u00a0including Apple Home,\u00a0Amazon\u00a0Alexa and Google Home.\u00a0This device\u00a0is one of the few battery-powered video doorbells on the market that support Apple\u2019s HomeKit Secure Video\u00a0as well as\u00a0the local streaming to Amazon\u00a0and Google\u00a0smart\u00a0displays. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

With two color variants, Shadow Gray and Black, the video doorbell G4 is designed to fit into most home environments. It supports both wireless and wired installation and can use a pack of 6 AA batteries that lasts about 4 months3<\/sup>. The doorbell offers adjustable sensitivity, configurable motion detection and even a power saving mode for users who live in a high traffic area to extend the battery life. Alternatively, users can opt to wire the G4 doorbell to an AC\/DC transformer for 24\/7 recording4<\/sup>, and use the battery pack as a back-up power source. Additionally, the G4\u2019s chime repeater, which is equipped with a 95 dB speaker, houses a Type-C port, and allows more flexibility for users to place the chime repeater indoors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Users of the Video Doorbell G4 can store video footage locally or on the cloud via iCloud or Aqara platform5<\/sup>. Aqara offers a subscription-free cloud storage of up to 7 days of critical event clips such as motion detection, facial recognition, doorbell ring and tamper alerts. Users can also choose to save video footage locally using a microSD card (up to 512 GB)6<\/sup>, which is housed in the indoor chime repeater. Finally, videos can also be stored via SMB NAS for added flexibility and security7<\/sup>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
