Is that real grass or some wizardry?
An Australian license plate???? I'm impressed!
I had high hopes for this camera overall and don’t get me wrong it’s nice, but I’ve been running Wyze cameras for almost two years (wired power to light sockets). Is the quality as good? No but considering how cheap they are and their reliability, it’s hard to compare. I use these with Surveillance Station and home assistant, which has been fantastic for 24/7 recording. I’ve been looking at Eufy and Reolink cameras to upgrade quality but haven’t pulled the trigger yet. Regardless, thanks for the detailed review. Solid camera
I think part of the confusion here with matter is that since it also acts as an aqara hub for aqara devices, the camera will matter bridge into other ecosystems and bring all of the devices connected along with it. Remember that cameras aren't supported yet with matter.
This is just not worth it at all, so many better cheaper options…and the pay to download? Lmao
4:50 the only thing you need to watch before you waste your time on this camera and video
Excellent review and almost free of bad jokes. Keep it up.
could you screen record the recorded footage?
Great camera up until subscription !
Lack of pre-roll isn't great. Lack of free download from LOCAL storage is an absolute 100% dealbreaker for me, that's just moneygrabbing
Pay to download the footage for a cam with onboard storage ! Seriously Aqara ?
By the way. No "AI" features here. This is just computer vision. 15 year old tech.
I say based on this review… Tapo c120 is probably the better buy!
Do you have a video on using Unifi cameras with Home Assistant? I'm considering switching, but I'm not sure which features are supported and what other equipment is required.
$200 for the camera, plus the need of a subscription to download video. This is an awful product made to push more people toward Eufy or Unifi cameras
If you continue to test outdoor cameras, maybe a dedicated magnet or a scrap piece of wood and paint it so you don’t have a million screw holes in the roof lol
What about Home Assistant integration?
Pay to download? Nah I’m good
Looks like Shane Gillis is at your house LOL
what a piece of garbage product
Don't want to buy from a company that cripples a device so much regarding the download. Thanks for the video!
looks to be all hype and not much more imho
5:08 I stopped watching. This message = disqualification
wonder if i can flash it with thingino and remove all of the AI crap
Nice video.
But fake lawn … why ?
