I tested the Aqara Camera G100, and it's an extremely versatile security camera for indoors or out

Looking for an extremely versatile security camera that won’t break the bank? Then Aqara’s latest model, the G100, is definitely worth checking out. Offering IP65 water resistance, it can be used indoors or outdoors, and is compatible with various smart home platforms including Apple Home, Google Home and Alexa. Other key features include a MicroSD card slot for storing up to 512GB footage locally while full AI-based detection of humans, pets and parcels is available for those subscribing to Aqara’s HomeGuardian plan. Available in black or white versions (we tested the black model), the mains-powered camera offers reasonable 2K resolution and boasts a 140° field of vision. The G100 also supports WiFi6 and WPA3 security, although it only works on the 2.4GHz Wi-Fi network (5GHz Wi-Fi is not supported).
