Camera Hub G2H Pro

FAQ

What is Ark Technology?

ARK technology is a distributed multi-level localized disaster recovery technology in Aqara smart home system. Currently, ARK technology has been updated to version 2.0, which includes gateway local automation capabilities, hub local automation capabilities, multi-hub backup replacement, proxy gateway disaster recovery, etc. It can protect against accidents or failures that may occur at multiple levels such as cloud servers, extranet communication networks, routers, hubs, gateways, etc., and do its best to ensure local automation and scenario execution, enhancing the reliability and stability of Aqara smart home system.

What is proxy hub disaster recovery capability?

When Aqara hub products (Like Hub M3, Hub M2, Air Conditioning P3, Camera Hub G3 ) function fail or power off, some Zigbee devices which been connected to them can act as a "proxy hub", and the "proxy hub" is responsible for the execution of some basic local automation and scenarios.

Which devices are currently supported as proxy hub? (Some of the following products are only available in some countries or regions)

Smart scene panel switch S1 (requires firmware version no less than 5.2.6_0559)
Curtain Controller C3 (requires firmware version no less than 0.0.0_0012)
LED Strip T1 (requires firmware version no less than 0.0.0_2729)
LED strip driver T1 (requires firmware version no less than 0.0.0_0024)
Ceiling Light T1 (requires firmware version no less than 0.0.0_0026)
Spotlight V1 (requires firmware version no less than 0.0.0_0025)
Wall Outlet H2 (requires firmware version no less than 0.0.0_0027)

What are the precautions for proxy hub disaster recovery?

1. Since the disaster recovery of the proxy gateway involves the collaboration between different devices in the entire system, it is necessary to update the firmware of the devices (including the gateway firmware, the proxy gateway firmware, and the firmware of other Zigbee Router devices) to the latest version in order to have good coordination capabilities.
If the firmware of some devices is not up-to-date and does not have the coordination capabilities of Ark proxy gateway technology, it may cause the proxy gateway to fail to trigger and execute some automated scenarios.
2. In addition, proxy gateway disaster recovery technology, as a disaster recovery means in extreme cases, can only support simple automation conditions and actions (such as switch clicks, device opening, device closing, etc.). For some complex automation, there may be situations that cannot be supported.

How does Aqara camera hub G2H Pro connect ZigBee end device, and how many end devices can be connected at most?

Aqara Smart Camera G2H Pro (Gateway Edition) supports 2.4GHz IEEE 802.11b/g/n protocol Wi-Fi, but does not support 5GHz Wi-Fi. When connecting the mixing route normally, it is recommended to separate the 2.4GHz and 5GHz Wi-Fi to avoid abnormal connections.

Why can’t camera hub G2H Pro connect to Wi-Fi?

1. When the device is far away from the wireless router or there are many obstacles in the middle, resulting in weak reception of Wi-Fi signals, there will be a problem that the network can not be successfully connected. Please use the Wi-Fi signal amplifier to relay the signal or mobile router to a place where the device can receive Wi-Fi signals well; 2. When entering the wrong Wi-Fi information, the network can not be completed. Please enter the correct information and try again. 3. Please confirm that the connected Wi-Fi is 2.4GHz Wi-Fi.

How long can the Aqara Smart Camera G2H Pro (Gateway Edition) MicroSD card record video?

Aqara smart camera G2H Pro (gateway version) records ultra-clear image quality by default, and the daily video storage capacity needs about 18G. Generally speaking, the 512GB capacity TF card is expected to be stored for 4 weeks, for a total of 28 days.

Can Aqara smart camera G2H Pro (gateway version) record with MicroSD card without network?

Yes, but you can't remotely view MicroSD card recordings through the app without the Internet.

What formats of TF card does Aqara camera hub G2H Pro support? How much capacity does it support?

Aqara Smart Camera G2H Pro (Gateway Edition) supports MicroSD cards with FAT32 format and read and write speed Class 4 or above. It is recommended to choose a MicroSD card with read and write speed Class 10 or above, and the maximum capacity is 512GB.

How many clients can preview in a single Aqara camera hub G2H Pro at the same time?

There is no limit to the number of client-side connections. It is recommended that up to 4 users watch at the same time, because the more connections, the more processor resources the device consumes (too many user connections will cause real-time picture lags, delays, etc.).

How to install the Aqara smart camera G2H Pro (gateway version) bracket?

The base of the Aqara Smart Camera G2H Pro (Gateway Edition) bracket contains strong magnets, which support fixing on objects such as refrigerators and iron doors. It can also be pasted on non-magnetic objects by using the 3M glue and iron sheet in the accessories, or by using the fastening screws in the accessories to fix the iron sheet on the non-magnetic object, and then install it.

Why is the camera G2H Pro frequently offline?

1. Please confirm that the device is connected to stable Wi-Fi, and try to avoid wall obstruction; 2. Please confirm that the device is not in the center of each node of the Mesh route under the Mesh route connection, resulting in frequent jumping between mesh routes when the device is connected to the route; 3. Please confirm that the bandwidth of the Wi-Fi router is sufficient to avoid competition between Wi-Fi sub-devices.

Why doesn't the Security Guard alarm work when sound and motion detection are detected in the Aqara Home app Security Guard?

When adding G2H Pro's detection movement and sound as security conditions in the security guard, you need to set it in advance on the device's settings interface to turn on movement detection and abnormal sound detection.

How to avoid repeated switching of camera night vision?

In the installation and usage, if the camera is facing reflective objects (glass, smooth walls, etc.) and occlusions (walls, chassis, etc.) at close range, it will cause serious infrared reflections in the screen, which will affect the judgment of camera switching night vision, resulting in frequent night vision switching in this case. It is recommended to avoid the above scenarios during actual installation.
