It\u2019s available in two colors, both dark tones only. If you\u2019re in an apartment and can\u2019t permanently alter your front door, or swap out the doorbell, this unit fits into one of my favorite temporary mounts, the Doorbell Boa. It\u2019s a tight fit through the face of the Boa due to the large buttons on the face of the G4, but it works with minimal hassle.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"article-body__section\" id=\"section-aqara-video-doorbell-g4-ease-of-use\"><span>Aqara Video Doorbell G4: Ease of use<\/span><\/h3>\n<figure class=\"van-image-figure inline-layout\" data-bordeaux-image-check=\"\">\n<div class=\"image-full-width-wrapper\">\n<div class=\"image-widthsetter\" style=\"max-width:1920px;\">\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\" style=\"padding-top:56.25%;\"><picture><source type=\"image\/webp\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/Y7DsqRg9UN8DBTefeWv2QQ-320-80.jpg.webp 320w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/Y7DsqRg9UN8DBTefeWv2QQ-480-80.jpg.webp 480w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/Y7DsqRg9UN8DBTefeWv2QQ-650-80.jpg.webp 650w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/Y7DsqRg9UN8DBTefeWv2QQ-970-80.jpg.webp 970w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/Y7DsqRg9UN8DBTefeWv2QQ-1024-80.jpg.webp 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/Y7DsqRg9UN8DBTefeWv2QQ-1200-80.jpg.webp 1200w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 1000px) 970px, calc(100vw - 40px)\"\/><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Aqara Smart Video Doorbell G4\" class=\"expandable\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/Y7DsqRg9UN8DBTefeWv2QQ-320-80.jpg 320w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/Y7DsqRg9UN8DBTefeWv2QQ-480-80.jpg 480w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/Y7DsqRg9UN8DBTefeWv2QQ-650-80.jpg 650w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/Y7DsqRg9UN8DBTefeWv2QQ-970-80.jpg 970w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/Y7DsqRg9UN8DBTefeWv2QQ-1024-80.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/Y7DsqRg9UN8DBTefeWv2QQ-1200-80.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 1000px) 970px, calc(100vw - 40px)\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/Y7DsqRg9UN8DBTefeWv2QQ.jpg\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/Y7DsqRg9UN8DBTefeWv2QQ.jpg\"\/><\/picture><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption itemprop=\"caption description\" class=\" inline-layout\"><span class=\"credit\" itemprop=\"copyrightHolder\">(Image credit: Tshaka Armstrong)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Setting up the Video Doorbell G4 was a breeze. There are QR codes for downloading the Aqara Home app and for binding to HomeKit. The repeater is the part that connects to your home router, while the actual doorbell unit connects to it. So, you\u2019ll set up the repeater first by adding it to the Aqara Home app, and following the prompts.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>I recommend setting everything up in Aqara Home first, and then connecting to Apple Home because there are a lot of features worth using that aren\u2019t exposed to HomeKit. Once you configure features like image masking or custom ringtones, you can access and use the G4 through Apple\u2019s Home app.<\/p>\n<p>One aspect that doesn\u2019t get enough attention is how easy it is to use most of these HKSV-supported cameras with your Apple Watch. The folks in Cupertino, CA, deserve their flowers for creating devices whose connectedness is pretty solid across hardware. I love being out and about and looking at the Home app on my Apple Watch to see who\u2019s at the door. I can even control speaker volume and talk directly through the watch to anyone at the door.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"article-body__section\" id=\"section-aqara-video-doorbell-g4-competition\"><span>Aqara Video Doorbell G4: Competition<\/span><\/h3>\n<figure class=\"van-image-figure inline-layout\" data-bordeaux-image-check=\"\">\n<div class=\"image-full-width-wrapper\">\n<div class=\"image-widthsetter\" style=\"max-width:1920px;\">\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\" style=\"padding-top:56.25%;\"><picture><source type=\"image\/webp\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/CcU3US9EmBQv6FfwwbZh94-320-80.jpg.webp 320w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/CcU3US9EmBQv6FfwwbZh94-480-80.jpg.webp 480w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/CcU3US9EmBQv6FfwwbZh94-650-80.jpg.webp 650w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/CcU3US9EmBQv6FfwwbZh94-970-80.jpg.webp 970w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/CcU3US9EmBQv6FfwwbZh94-1024-80.jpg.webp 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/CcU3US9EmBQv6FfwwbZh94-1200-80.jpg.webp 1200w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 1000px) 970px, calc(100vw - 40px)\"\/><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Wemo Smart doorbell Installed on a dark wood door\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/CcU3US9EmBQv6FfwwbZh94-320-80.jpg 320w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/CcU3US9EmBQv6FfwwbZh94-480-80.jpg 480w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/CcU3US9EmBQv6FfwwbZh94-650-80.jpg 650w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/CcU3US9EmBQv6FfwwbZh94-970-80.jpg 970w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/CcU3US9EmBQv6FfwwbZh94-1024-80.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/CcU3US9EmBQv6FfwwbZh94-1200-80.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 1000px) 970px, calc(100vw - 40px)\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/CcU3US9EmBQv6FfwwbZh94.jpg\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/CcU3US9EmBQv6FfwwbZh94.jpg\"\/><\/picture><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption itemprop=\"caption description\" class=\" inline-layout\"><span class=\"credit\" itemprop=\"copyrightHolder\">(Image credit: Wemo)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>There is some solid competition in the connected doorbell space, but Aqara\u2019s offering stands out because of its value. You get a lot of features for less money than you would with competitors.<\/p>\n<p>If you need a wider front porch view, you can look at the Nest doorbell cam. I\u2019ve used it, and the view is excellent. As tight as the space is in front of my door, I can see an entire person and packages on the ground. The catch, though, is that it does not support HomeKit. Belkin\u2019s Wemo brand has its compact Smart Doorbell Camera, which does support HomeKit, though I\u2019ve not yet had the chance to test it out. It comes with a larger field of view <em>and<\/em> price tag, almost double the cost.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"article-body__section\" id=\"section-aqara-video-doorbell-g4-should-you-buy-it\"><span>Aqara Video Doorbell G4: Should you buy it?<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><strong>You should buy the Aqara Video Doorbell G4 if&#8230;<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>You want a great doorbell at a fair price<\/li>\n<li>You want a battery-operated doorbell cam<\/li>\n<li>You want a lot of customization options<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>You shouldn&#8217;t buy the Aqara Video Doorbell G4 if&#8230;<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>You need a wider field of view<\/li>\n<li>You don\u2019t want to deal with a two-piece unit<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3 class=\"article-body__section\" id=\"section-aqara-video-doorbell-g4-verdict\"><span>Aqara Video Doorbell G4: Verdict<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Like I said earlier, I haven\u2019t tested the Wemo offering yet, but of those I have tested, this is in the running for the best of show!
