Video Quality: Daytime pictures are soft, not as sharp or clear as much as the better models, which means you won't be able to see some details and subtle patterns in the scene. At nighttime, the video is mediocre: quite viewable but not as bright or clear as the better models.
Data security: This model has mediocre security. It has some but not all of the important protections for your recordings and personal data.
Data privacy: Aqara offers only a mediocre level of control and transparency over your data. They are not doing as good a job as others are with regard to collecting only necessary data, giving you control over its use, and limiting how your data is shared or sold.
Response time: This model sends its alerts to its app within 1.1 seconds on average, which is very quick, and helps you be very responsive to situations.
Smart features: It works with smart-home systems such as Amazon Alexa, Apple HomeKit, Apple Siri, Google Assistant, Google Home, IFTTT, Matter, and Samsung SmartThings. You'll need to install the Aqara Home app on your smartphone. Aqara claims this model has recognition algorithms that can detect a lingering person. Aqara may offer additional features that require a subscription and/or a firmware update.
