The G350 looks like a toy, but is a serious piece of security equipment

Don’t be fooled by this camera’s cute looks, complete with removable bunny ears. Despite looking like a gadget for kids, it’s actually a very advanced piece of kit intended for the home security professional. A 360-degree pan-and-tilt model ideal for tracking human or pet movement around a room, the Aqara features a dual-lens system, comprising 4K wide angle and 2.5K telephoto lenses. It also boasts a wide range of AI features including, somewhat unusually, the ability to detect different sounds such as a baby crying or a dog barking. Billed as the world’s first Matter 1.5-certified camera, the Aqara G350 is compatible with all the major smart home ecosystems including Apple HomeKit Secure Video, Google Home, Alexa and Samsung SmartThings. Footage can be recorded in the cloud with a HomeGuard subscription or on a MicroSD card (not provided).
