does the unifi doorbell stuff pop up on Apple TV? we are doing a remodel and going to be adding their wifi and cameras, was considering their doorbell but wasn't sure if it did this, and we loved it with our aqara we had before
r/HomeKit • Best Doorbell camera? ->Thanks to all who replied! Based on all the replies and info gathering, I decided to go with the Aqara G410. For the doorbell cam it really does seem to fit the bill the best. When it comes time to expand I will either have to break down and pay someone to run CAT6 wiring and get the G5 Pro - or just buy a different brand that supports 100% wireless (battery) outdoor video - (with or without HomeKit compatibility). I actually already have non-subscription Blink outdoor cameras but the clips are short and IQ isn't great...
r/HomeKit • HomeKit secure video doorbell cam question ->Aqara G410 is the newer Aqara option and it seems to be an improvement over the G4. I settled on the Aqara as it has a newer system, fewer issues than the Logitech and direct HKSV without any adders like Ubiquiti requiring Scrypted (another subscription). Previously we had RING and used Scrypted for HKSV. I tried the Logitech briefly but had some issues with the sync so sent it back and kept the Aqara. We have a huge bay window at the front and a glass entry door, but are frequently outback at the other end of the property or on elsewhere in the home with the TV on. The HKSV was a great feature to have on any smart home device for exactly the reasons you mentioned - packages, pizza delivery, etc. Aqara’s doorbells also work with their locks very well I’ve noticed for a quick automation (if HKSV recognizes a Home residents face, unlock the door and turn on the entry lights. If the Ubiquiti Lite supported HKSV natively my wife would have me move the G410 to our side entry as the Ubiuiti lite looks way more natural as a doorbell.
r/HomeKit • HomeKit secure video doorbell cam question ->I had two Logitechs, bought in 2022. One died in 2023 and Logitech sent me a replacement that was refurbished. This year both Logitech units started to have the glass face delaminate and both units overheated to the point where they would not come back online. Even when the Logitech units were working, they were slow to load video and late to notify on motion events and doorbell presses. I have no experience with the Wemo product but I cannot recommend the Logitech units. I replaced the Logitech units with the Aqara G410 doorbell and the Aqara has been great.
r/HomeKit • Wemo Smart Video Doorbell vs Logitech Circle View Doorbell ->I'm always going to recommend ditching the Logitech. I had horrible experiences with the ones I had including performance (slow loading, streaming, and missed motion events) and then the hardware overheating and dying. It also looks like Logitech has mostly abandoned these. When I looked last new ones weren't available, just refurbs. I went with the Aqara G410 doorbells and while they're larger and have a separate chime box it doesn't matter to me since my HomePods are my chimes. The landscape view on the camera is actually nicer for me as it captures my entire yard area. I think a downward angled mount might even make it better just to possibly capture more of my porch. Aside from those couple things, I haven't had any issues with speed, streaming, or performance in general. I'm much happier with the Aqara than I was with the Logitech units.
r/HomeKit • Logitech Doorbell camera getting slower and choppier with time ->I just bought the G410 (twice) last week. Honestly the only feature I cared about was it being HKSV compatible. The mmWave sensor instead of a PIR sensor for motion seems like a worthwhile inclusion but I don’t know if it actually matters. The doorbell does record motion pretty much anywhere in its FOV, and that is a super wide FOV. I didn’t know it was a Thread Border Router when I got it but extending my Thread mesh is a nice addition too. I’m not using any of the Aqara features so I can’t comment on those. All that said, when it came down to choosing I didn’t have any experience with the G4 and just said “might as well get the new one”.
r/HomeKit • Aqara G4 vs G410 — Which should I get as a first-time buyer? ->I'm with you, hardwired to a transformer and I've really liked it (only had it for three weeks). It's worked great. I thought about the Ecobee camera but when I saw it had a subscription, I decided to pass (even though I really love my Ecobee Premium thermostat).
r/HomeKit • Ecobee or Aqara Video Doorbell ->Same. I made my Reolink doorbell HKSV compatible via Scrypted, but the Reolink randomly croaked this week. Decided to try the G410 cause of native HKSV, but now the G400 seems like a more reliable option, even though it's a lower model? Who the heck makes a doorbell that's not fully weather resistant? I want an HKSV doorbell that works with my existing doorbell wiring that is reliable. That's it. Maybe Apple will make one eventually.
r/Aqara • Doorbell Comparison - G410 vs G400. Can anyone fill in the blanks and/or add more info? ->Aqara g410. Just make sure you have power supply. It runs through batteries.

Native HomeKit: Aqara G4/G410 More involved: UniFi G4 doorbell -> Scrypted UniFi Plugin -> HKSV
r/HomeKit • Best HKSV Doorbell right now? ->Same here. I have these on two doors that face south and bake in the afternoon sun. Bought one in July 2023 and the other last year because my Aqara kept disconnecting.
r/HomeKit • Best HKSV Doorbell right now? ->I installed a G410 today :) I finally ditched Nest for good.
r/HomeKit • Best HKSV Doorbell right now? ->I've been happy with my G410. I use an sd card for recording video, and it works well.
r/HomeKit • Are HomeKit compatible doorbells worth it? ->I love everything about it except image quality. I bought and returned 2 of them now thinking they were defective but the image quality I’ve experienced under a porch in shade looking out into the brighter section of my front yard is so shockingly blown out that I don’t know what I’m doing wrong. I have a 3rd now that I got just to make sure and sure enough, the 3rd one is crazy blown out. Not sure what I’m doing wrong. Love the hub, connectivity, speed, and ease of adding, but I just can’t get past the image.
r/HomeKit • View on Reddit →I love my G4's, get the 410. It's rare it's better to buy older tech. Even when newer tech has teething issues in the longer run the newer tech is the way to go. Get the 410.
r/HomeKit • View on Reddit →My house was built in the 70s. I have apple tv + homepod as the homekit hub. Ecobee for thermostat, Aqara for smart camera doorbell (after trying out Ring and Eufy), Schlag for front door, Meross for garage door, a bunch of hue lights, a mix bag of light switches but slowly transition all to Lutron for reliability. As for camera itself, I still haven't found any good solutions that's reliable, I do have a bunch of Eufy that are not in my homekit. Personally, I wouldn't wait for the next best thing, because there will always be the next best thing, meanwhile I had to wait for the manufactures to catch up.
r/HomeKit • View on Reddit →Doorbird. But it is getting super dated. Rock solid performance though Aqara G410 uses normal bell power, WiFi, works with existing chime and HomeKit. Just had to turn on the rtsp stream. Out of about ~7 attempts those are the only 2 doorbells I’ve been actually happy with. Doorbell always seemed like something so easy to get right that so many camera companies drop the ball on entirely.
r/BlueIris • View on Reddit →I´m not getting any notification within apple home app. I can see the video feed and push to talk. But if i press the ring button I´m not getting the notification. I will only get them within the aqara app. I have the Camera within apple home as "Aqara doorbell hub" but within the settings no option to get a notify if doorbell is ringed... Anything I missed or messed up?
r/Aqara • View on Reddit →I have an Aqara and I consistently have an issue view live stream in the app and HomeKit.
r/HomeKit • View on Reddit →I don’t get these delays with my G410, but I’m definitely not happy with the image quality as compared to my Logitech doorbell. Is the Reolink video quality that much better? Edit: I missed the dedicated section about image quality. I might give this a try.
r/HomeKit • View on Reddit →I opted for the Aqara Smart Video doorbell, and I’ve been really happy.
r/ecobee • View on Reddit →The Logitech Circle has been great for me. Have moved it to multiple houses with no problems. Wired up to my original chime easy as well. All my HomePods including my original chime ring when pressed and alerts are quick. Had the Aqara and it went completely dead on me within a few weeks.
r/HomeKit • View on Reddit →../../../../preview.redd.it/cpw3rtieocgf12e33.jpeg?width=1290&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=9e441b2bd6502921d0d5e3ab5db5f3b01b6acac8 G410 is a considerable improvement in video quality and FOV. Here’s a comparison between my old G4 (top) and G410 (bottom) taken on the same mount just minutes apart via Home app. The resolution is even better on the native Aqara app.
r/HomeKit • View on Reddit →It’s battery powered as you requested but can be hooked up to power for better reliability. It is HomeKit native, and I actually set mine up without the Aqara app. Confusing because I thought you needed the Aqara app, but mine went straight into HomeKit with most features working. I’ve only had it about a week but it has been super solid with motion detection and hasn’t had any connection issues yet. Picture quality is decent. I’m hooked up to my doorbell transformer though, so I can’t speak to a battery powered experience, which may mean less reliability and possibly replacing the batteries very frequently.
r/HomeKit • View on Reddit →Just switched to EcoBee from Aqara. Loved the Aqara minus 2 things: Didn’t work when it was super cold cause the batteries kept freezing, even though it was hardwired. 2: lack of portrait view. Have to pay for video recording on ecobee which sucks but the camera is better already.
r/HomeKit • View on Reddit →Aqara g410. Just make sure you have power supply. It runs through batteries.
r/homesecurity • View on Reddit →I'd second the recommendation to wait for the G410. My Aqara wasn't particularly reliable and finally died towards the end of its first year. The replacement provided was much better, especially after I paired it only with HomeKit, but still goes offline occasionally and randomly takes a long time for the video to appear.
r/HomeKit • View on Reddit →Aqara G4 or the new one G410 if you are able to wire it up. It’s been flawless with decent wifi. Incidentally I did the same and replaced my Ring Doorbell and removed it from my Homebridge hub.
r/HomeKit • View on Reddit →I tried to find these settings but Im not really able to find it. There Not within the settings of the Camera in the Home App
r/Aqara • View on Reddit →I just made the switch over to Aqara doorbell G410 & front door lock U100 and it was pretty seamless to set up, no issues so far. Lots of endorsements for Aqara on this sub.
r/HomeKit • View on Reddit →If they MUST be native, For doorbells, there's the Aqara G410 and Logitech circle. Aqara works with battery or hardwired, no physical/legacy chime support. Logitech is older and has some quirks but is the only native option that can ring your home's old physical chime. Also I like how it looks better than Aqara. For locks, IMO this is easy. Schlage Encode Plus is the best all-around choice for native Apple Home integration. 12 months of battery life on thread, homekey support, robust hardware. I've had a lot of smart locks and it's by far the best I've had. For cameras, really no awesome options for native - IMO the best camera systems are ones like Ubiquiti or Amcrest or Reolink where you have a physical NVR recording 24x7 and POE runs to each camera. With homekit native solutions you're gonna have to hardwire power\*, but still deal with wifi and you do not get 24x7 recording, only motion events. If you're gonna be spending some money anyway, I'd say go with Ubiquiti and spend a little on a mini PC to run Scrypted on it, which will proxy your Ubiquiti cameras into homekit and they'll work just like native cameras on your home app - except you also get POE connection, 24x7 recording, local storage, etc. \* Technically there are some battery powered options but they're not great.
r/HomeKit • View on Reddit →In our house it also rings in the existing doorbell chime box that is connected to the transformer, in addition to the Aqara chime box and the home pods if we want.
r/Aqara • View on Reddit →Aqara is still the best bang for buck, long battery life, no subs, has homekit so you can have rich notifications, cheap.
r/smarthome • View on Reddit →Although you can stick with the doorbell, I really really do recommend the new Aqaura Smart doorbell. It can be wired or battery operated, and have fallen in love with it. Reason why I mentioned this, I’ve never had a good time with Logitech products specifically made for smart home use like the Apple Smart home water detect devices that they sell. I bought a Logitech circle home view camera .. worst decision of my life since they lacked on updating the software on their end, and have made the products pretty much unusable with connection losses, happening with hours or even minutes of first time on boarding… it’s been a living, nightmare, even after having them send me out a second product of it, same issue
r/HomeKit • View on Reddit →That means also that the G410 is within apple home not really a doorbell then just a "normal" camera? So push2 talk is working within the home app but there is no way to popup the camera screen in the app if someone is ringing neither then get the camera notification within appleTV?
r/Aqara • View on Reddit →I have 3 wireless Aqara camera & their doorbell, rarely had any issues with them. If I were starting from scratch I’d have ethernets everywhere, which may change my camera choices, but in general they’ve been pretty good.
r/HomeKit • View on Reddit →I have it plugged into a transformer that’s plugged into the exterior outlet. My house was not wired for a doorbell for some stupid reason. I also have batteries installed for backup.
r/HomeKit • View on Reddit →I’ve had the Aqara G410 since launch and it’s been rock solid - significantly better than the G4. My only complaint is that the battery life could be better.
r/HomeKit • View on Reddit →Spent the last 3 days with both the G410 and the Reolink. I could write a long boring reply as to why, but the Reolink wins if you care about image quality and more granular control of sensitivity for motion alerts. The Aqara wins if you just want a more plug and play style and don’t care if the image is a good chunk worse. The Reolink is just so much more customizable. I ran mine through Scrypted and it is performing super fast. Maybe 1 or 2 seconds behind a pure motion notification with the full HKSV video compared to Aqara’s near 12 second delay. If you’re up for a more complicated setup, the Reolink setup is a chore but the image quality is solidly better. I can’t believe how washed out the G410 is. Also, and I know this is a small thing, but the Aqara’s chime is fugly and is powered with a usb c cable and that adds to the fugliness. I like reolinks plug - chime. Oh and last thing, the Reolink feels almost half the size of the Aqara so your doorway feels much more minimalistic with the Reolink.
r/HomeKit • View on Reddit →Aqara. No subscription, saves to my 512gb SD cards in each ringer for front and back door (the ringer comes WITH the door bell), and then it saves those recordings from the SD cards to my local NAS, no subscription required. And works very well with my HomeKit, no subscription.
r/HomeKit • View on Reddit →Don’t waste time on Eufy. It has good quality recording yes, but when you want to a answer a person, the delay its horrible. I just switched to Aqara G410, its very fast and no delay!
r/homesecurity • View on Reddit →Most compatible with HA replink for sure, most compatible with HomeKit, aqara g410, I switched my replink to aqara for my doorbell because I never got the 2 way audio to work, I moved the reolink doorbell to the garage, as a camera or perfect but for the rest of the family and notification and HomeKit, I prefer aqara. Is not perfect but is better
r/homeassistant • View on Reddit →What don't you like about it? I have the same doorbell and love it. It detects my face and unlocks my front door and works great.
r/HomeKit • View on Reddit →does the unifi doorbell stuff pop up on Apple TV? we are doing a remodel and going to be adding their wifi and cameras, was considering their doorbell but wasn't sure if it did this, and we loved it with our aqara we had before
r/HomeKit • View on Reddit →I’m not sure if this is helpful here but I just bought the G410 and returned it after four days. I get direct sunlight in the afternoon hours and every single day without fail, it would overheat and then start working fine in the evening again. Real shame since the hub functionality worked great.
r/Aqara • View on Reddit →Can't speak to the G4, but my first Aquara product was the G410. Other than the issues I had running it on battery, it's been rock solid and has excellent quality. Super easy install and setting up the app was very initiative and seems to integrate well into homekit. There very well could be better options out there but for the money it seems good. I like the homekit integration and onsite recording without having to pay a stupid subscription. Bonus it let me finally throw my stupid nest doorbell in the trash.
r/HomeKit • View on Reddit →I replaced my glitchy Logitech Circle View with the Aqara g410 and am very happy with it. Install was easy. I powered it with the existing old doorbell wiring, which entailed disconnecting/rewiring the existing old bell mechanism. This allows 24x7 recording if you use an SD card. Batteries are also an option. Plus it functions as an Aqara hub if you get more of their products.
r/HomeKit • View on Reddit →I have the g410 and the logi cle before it. So far I’m loving the g410 a little bit better, but both a pretty damn rad and super easy to install. My logi died after a few years of cleveland winter and facing dead west cooking by the sun. Still held up decently imo.
r/HomeKit • View on Reddit →I have a wired doorbell, currently using an Aqara G410. I am not overly happy with it, but it does work. I doubt I could easily thread an Ethernet cable through there though...
r/Ubiquiti • View on Reddit →Thanks to all who replied! Based on all the replies and info gathering, I decided to go with the Aqara G410. For the doorbell cam it really does seem to fit the bill the best. When it comes time to expand I will either have to break down and pay someone to run CAT6 wiring and get the G5 Pro - or just buy a different brand that supports 100% wireless (battery) outdoor video - (with or without HomeKit compatibility). I actually already have non-subscription Blink outdoor cameras but the clips are short and IQ isn't great...
r/HomeKit • View on Reddit →I’ve come to the conclusion it’s simply a YMMV situation. Aqara works perfectly for me (not close to, not ok-ish, actually perfectly), but then other people says it’s a pile of trash that never worked properly.
r/HomeKit • View on Reddit →The Aqara g410 is completely HomeKit compatible. Even acts as a thread mesh extender. I’ve had mine for over a week! Love the viewing angles. Just with there was more control over the hdr feature.
r/HomeKit • View on Reddit →I have the Aqara G410 and it integrates super easily with HomeKit. I used to have a Reolink doorbell and had to mess around with Home Assistant to get it working with HomeKit, but the G410 just works out of the box. One nice bonus is that the G410 also acts as a hub if you ever want to add more Aqara gear later. Since you already have an Apple TV, that will serve as your Thread border router, so you can still access and control everything in the Home app even when you are away from home.
