Open-box products are returned products with opened or damaged packaging, but fully checked from a technical point of view and completely functional. They come with the same warranty as new products.

Aqara Camera Hub G5 Pro (POE) – Clearly Capturing the Unpredictable, Day and Night

Camera Hub G5 Pro is an outdoor/indoor camera with True Color Night Vision that takes image quality and local recognition to the maximum. Compared with the competition, it is designed to extend your smart home system through its built-in hub functionality. It is also available in Power over Ethernet and Wi‑Fi versions for unmatched stability and flexibility, offering End-to‑End encryption for maximum security, as well as full support for smart home ecosystems: HomeKit Secure Video, Google Home, Amazon Alexa and Matter support.

Note: This item is the POE version. No WI-FI. This version has 32GB eMMC.

• To use the device with a particular Matter ecosystem, a Matter Controller specific to that ecosystem is required.
• The 8GB version is rated for 6-7 hours; the 32GB version is rated for 24-28 hours of event-based recording.
• Please note: only one month of Correlated Events is available free of charge. (This new cloud storage trial rule will be rolled out with all future camera products.)
• Please note: the PoE version does not include Wi‑Fi connectivity and requires Ethernet cabling.

Highlights:

• The First Aqara Outdoor/Indoor Camera with a Built-in Zigbee Hub and Thread Border Router:
  G5 Pro features Matter Controller, Matter Bridge and Thread Border Router functionality, while also acting as a mesh repeater, improving device interoperability and adapting to the latest smart home ecosystem standards. It can connect to all Aqara Zigbee and Thread devices, as well as third-party Matter devices. This way, you can integrate local automations and connect them to Matter* ecosystems such as Apple Home, Alexa, Google Home, etc.

• 7‑in‑1 Local Visual AI + 4‑in‑1 Audio AI:
  Thanks to the built-in Neural Processing Unit (NPU), two different AI detection settings are available simultaneously.

• Visual Detection:
  G5 can recognise faces (Face Detection), individual vehicles (Vehicle Recognition) and people entering its field of view (Human Detection), and can tell whether they are lingering (Lingering Detection). It also offers pet detection, lens obstruction detection and package detection, so it can protect your deliveries as well.

• Audio Detection:
  It doesn't just see, it hears too. It listens for sounds such as babies crying, alarms, barking and coughing. This function lets you record key events and trigger automations even when disconnected from the internet. These detections can activate a wide range of automations with other smart home devices, increasing the intelligence and reliability of your system.

• Premium True Full Colour Night Vision:
  G5 features a next-generation True Color Night Vision recording system, powered by a graphene-cooled 1/1.8” sensor, ensuring HD clarity in low-light conditions.

• Exceptional Image Quality:
  G5 represents a major leap in image quality: 2.6K resolution (Quad HD 2688×1520), a field of view of up to 133° and the largest f/1.0 aperture ever, which can capture up to 4 times more light than f/2.0 lenses, resulting in superior clarity and increased dynamic contrast. It also has a powerful built-in spotlight, allowing you to set up automations to illuminate and deter potential intruders.

• Privacy and Security First:
  The first TCNV camera compatible with Apple HomeKit Secure Video: the camera is fully compatible with HomeKit Secure Video. G5 is our first camera to include built-in encrypted eMMC storage, which can be saved to a local NAS as well as to the Aqara and Apple clouds. It is also the first Aqara camera to support End-to-End encryption: recordings are fully protected, and access is restricted to you and your family only.

• Superior Dual-Band Wi‑Fi Connectivity:
  G5 Pro (Wi‑Fi) incorporates a 2.4/5GHz dual-band Wi‑Fi module for greater compatibility and reduced interference, and supports the WPA3 standard for maximum security. For power, G5 Pro (Wi‑Fi) uses a 5V2A USB‑C port, increasing flexibility as you can easily find a cable of the length you need.

• Reliability in Extreme Cold Environments:
  The G5 has IP65 water and dust protection and can be used both indoors and outdoors, even at very low temperatures (down to -30°C / -22°F), protecting your home even in the coldest winters.

• RTSP Support:
  It supports the RTSP streaming protocol for stable connections on LAN networks with third-party clients, including support for Home Assistant live streaming. It is also compatible with RTSP video servers and devices, and can stream to Alexa, Google Home, SmartThings and Home Assistant.

• Multiple Installation Methods:
  The included rotating mount allows secure screw mounting on walls or ceilings, or placement on a table. It can be replaced with any standard 1/4 threaded screw.

• Speaker:
  It has a built-in 100 dB speaker that supports custom tones and can be used as a loud siren or for two-way communication. *The 100 dB sound level is measured at a distance of 10 cm.

• Correlated Events and Extended Automations:
  All Aqara sensors can be marked on the video timeline, allowing you to jump quickly to a specific event for more efficient review.

• Extended Timelapse:
  It allows recording of extended timelapse videos, useful for analysing environmental changes or speeding up events.

• Privacy Masking:
  You can force-exclude certain areas of the frame to protect privacy in recordings.

• Anti-Theft Protection:
  You will receive notifications if someone tries to register the camera to another account, and access will be restricted automatically. (Limitation: cameras can still be added to Apple Home even if stolen.)

• Advanced Automations:
  Triggers and actions from sub-devices can be linked to camera recordings, enriching the types of events captured and allowing quick retrieval and playback on the video timeline.
