With the Aqara G4 Video Doorbell, Aqara offers one of the few battery powered smart video doorbells with Apple’s HomeKit Secure Video (HKSV). This enables you to securely save camera footage using iCloud, without using any storage of your subscription. It’s also a budget friendly model with no need for a subscription. At CES 2025 in Las Vegas, Aqara announced the successor of the G4: the Aqara Doorbell Camera Hub G410. This new video doorbell has a few advantages over the G4, like the support of RTSP (Real Time Streaming Protocol). With RTSP, the Aqara G410 has direct support for Home Assistant, which is not the case with the G4. As the name suggests, the G410 is also a hub for other Aqara devices.
Update 10-07-2025 The Aqara G410 Doorbell Camera Hub is now available on Amazon in both grey and black for €129,99/$129,99/£129,99. You can read all the details in our article about the launch of the Aqara G410.
Features Aqara G410 Video Doorbell
While it’s currently not clear when we can expect the G410 to be available and at which price point, there are already quite some details we can look into. The doorbell offers 2K video quality with a 178 degree field of view. This is a small improvement of the previous 1080P quality and 162 degree field of view. By adding support for RTSP, it’s now a lot easier to stream the video feed to Home Assistant. This was already possible with the HomeKit integration of Home Assistant, but this made it harder to also control the doorbell in Apple HomeKit itself.
Another interesting detail is the hub functionality of the Aqara G410. Aqara seems to offer this in more and more devices, like the just released Aqara Camera Hub G5 Pro. While the G5 Pro and the G410 will probably not be placed at the most central locations of your house, it could be interesting to have a hub outside your home, to enlarge the reach of your signal for devices in your garden. However, we expect the hub functionality of the G410 to be placed inside the Chime of the doorbell, which you install inside, within a few meters of the doorbell itself. The hub supports Zigbee as well as Thread for Matter over Thread devices.. This means you can control Matter over Thread and Zigbee devices in the Aqara app and also expose Aqara Zigbee devices over Matter to other Smart Home platforms, like Apple HomeKit, Google Home, Amazon Alexa and Samsung SmartThings.
Presence Detection Aqara G410
The Aqara G410 now offers a mmWave presence sensor, instead of a regular PIR motion sensor. This means it can now detect presence when someone approaches your door. This technology is already used in the Aqara’s Presence Sensor FP2 and FP1E, allowing continuous presence detection even when people are stationary. It can also recognize human presence, which allows the doorbell to only alert you when a human is detected.
The new smart doorbell from Aqara has the exact same measurements as the Aqara G4. It’s currently not clear whether you can use the same mounting bracket to update your doorbell. Other features, such as the use of 6 AA batteries and the option for wired power, remain unchanged.
Availability and Price
It’s currently not clear when the Aqara Doorbell Camera Hub G410 will be available, however it’s our expectation this might be around the end of Q2 or in Q3 of 2025. The price is also not yet known, but we expect a slightly higher price for the G410 given the hub functionality. The Aqara G4 is priced at €119/$119, but is often available at a 10-20% discount.

I just installed an Aqara G4 to replace my Skybell. Install was a bit awkward due to the location of the locking screw on the side. Powered it with the doorbell transformer.
Overall it seems OK. Really good value for the money. The Aqara software seems OK, but takes a bit to find the camera settings.
My only criticism is the waterproof status: My back door is completely unprotected and a doorbell there would have to be IP67 to survive. The G4 instructions say to mount under a porch and don’t give an IP rating. From this article it looks like the G410 will be in the same box. Too bad.
