Broad ecosystem compatibility is supported, allowing seamless integration with Apple HomeKit, Amazon Alexa, and Google Home for voice control and smart display streaming.

Key Features

• AI Facial and Gesture Recognition
  Local facial and gesture recognition is enabled through a powerful NPU-equipped processor. Personalized automations, alerts, and scene control can be triggered based on recognized faces or predefined hand gestures.

• Built-in Zigbee 3.0 Smart Home Hub
  A robust Zigbee 3.0 hub is included, allowing connection of up to 128 Aqara devices. Smart sensors, switches, and controllers can be managed centrally for automation, monitoring, and third-party ecosystem support.

• Local Infrared Device Control
  A built-in IR controller allows traditional infrared-compatible devices such as TVs and air conditioners to be controlled intelligently. All IR automations are processed locally and remain functional even without an internet connection.

• All-Round Smart Ecosystem Compatibility
  Support is provided for HomeKit Secure Video, Amazon Alexa, and Google Home, including live streaming to smart displays. Connected Aqara devices can also be exposed to multiple ecosystems for unified control.

• 360° Pan and Tilt with Smart Tracking
  A 110° wide-angle lens combined with motorized pan and tilt enables near-360° coverage. Automatic cruising, face tracking, and pet tracking are supported for comprehensive room monitoring.

• 2K High-Resolution Video Quality
  A 2304 × 1296 pixel sensor delivers detailed 2K video clarity. Improved sharpness and visibility are provided for both live viewing and recorded footage.

• Dual-Band Wi-Fi Connectivity
  Both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz Wi-Fi bands are supported, ensuring stable connections and flexible network compatibility for smart home environments.

• USB-C Port with Video Output
  A modern USB-C port is used for power and supports low-latency, high-definition video output via the UVC protocol.

• Enhanced Privacy Protection
  A physical hardware privacy shutter is included and is visually indicated by a distinctive design. Automatic recording suspension can occur when registered family members are recognized.

• Invisible IR Night Vision
  Night monitoring is supported through 940 nm infrared LEDs, allowing clear footage in darkness without visible red light that could disturb sleep.

• Flexible Mounting Options
  A standard 1/4-inch threaded screw is included, enabling compatibility with tripods, mounts, and third-party accessories.

• One-Button Video Call Function
  An emergency video message notification can be sent by long-pressing the camera button, providing quick communication when needed.

Smart Automations & Security

Automatic control of lighting, air conditioning, televisions, and other appliances is supported through intelligent automations. Around-the-clock security monitoring can be configured, with alerts, siren activation, and event recording triggered when unknown faces are detected or connected sensors are activated. Events can be stored locally or in the cloud, depending on configuration.

Facial and gesture recognition can also be integrated into daily routines. When arrival is detected, alarms can be disarmed, environmental settings adjusted, and gesture-based scene control enabled automatically. An advanced event timeline is provided through the Aqara Home app, where sensor-triggered events are marked directly on recorded video for easy review.
