Aqara Smart Camera G5 Pro Hub is an outdoor camera that works with Apple HomeKit Secure Video, Google Home, and Alexa. It also works as a hub for other Aqara Smart Devices.

High-Definition Video Surveillance with AI-Driven Visual and Audio Analysis & Superior Night Vision

The Aqara Smart Camera G5 Pro Hub elevates outdoor security with 4MP, 133° wide-angle video and AI recognition of people, pets, vehicles, and packages, delivering color footage down to 0.01Lux.

It uniquely integrates with Apple HomeKit Secure Video, ensuring end-to-end encryption and local processing on Apple TV or HomePod for unparalleled privacy, keeping your data entirely within your home

High-Definition Video Surveillance with AI-Driven Visual and Audio Analysis & Superior Night Vision

The G5 Pro acts as a versatile Matter Controller, Bridge, and Thread Border Router, seamlessly integrating Aqara Zigbee/Thread and third-party Matter devices with Apple Home, Alexa, and Google Home for local automations. It offers secure, flexible surveillance with 32GB encrypted eMMC storage and NAS expansion, plus RTSP support for Home Assistant, NVRs, and VLC. Full smart home integration is provided via Alexa, Google Home, and SmartThings. (HomeKit hub required. Dual app compatibility. PoE version requires Ethernet.)

• HomePod, HomePod Mini, Apple TV, or iPad as a HomeKit hub required.
• It is possible to use the camera with both the Apple Home app and the Aqara app if you choose to do so.
• The Aqara G5 Pro Camera hub is fully functional using the Aqara app as well, available both on the App store and Google Play store
• The PoE version does not include Wi-Fi connectivity and requires an Ethernet wiring

Multiple Installation Methods

The Aqara Smart Camera G5 Pro Hub delivers flexible streaming via RTSP for low-latency local video and integrates with Home Assistant, Alexa, Google Home, and SmartThings. Its versatile, rotatable stand supports wall, ceiling, and table mounting, with 1/4″ threaded screw compatibility for custom setups. A multifunctional bracket is included, and users can opt for any 1/4″ nut-compatible stand

Options of Wi-Fi or PoE Connectivity

The Aqara Smart Camera G5 Pro Hub offers two distinct connectivity options. The PoE version utilizes an Ethernet RJ45 port, providing both data transfer and power, ideal for users with existing wired systems and ensuring a stable, long-range connection. Additionally, it features a USB-C port for alternative power sources. Conversely, the Wi-Fi model employs a dual-band 2.4/5GHz Wi-Fi module for improved wireless connectivity and enhanced security with WPA3. Powered via a USB-C port, it allows for flexible cable length usage, catering to various installation preferences.

Two-Way Communication Feature

The G5 Pro enhances outdoor monitoring with a powerful 100 dB speaker and clear two-way talk, allowing interaction with visitors or deterring unwanted activity. A high-sensitivity microphone captures clear audio, while privacy masking, correlated event tracking, and customizable alerts tailor the surveillance experience. Integrated with the Aqara Home app, the G5 Pro provides anti-theft protection and event automation, creating a secure and interactive monitoring solution.

An Aqara G5 Pro Camera Hub is all you need

Getting an Aqara G5 Pro Camera Hub is all you need to jumpstart your smart home journey.  Easily set up the Aqara G5 Pro Camera Hub within your Apple Home or Google Home, and any Aqara smart devices linked to the camera automatically show up in your Apple or Google Home, too.   

Aqara offers a full range of smart devices, all designed with a clean, modern look. Many sensors can run for two years on a single battery, so there’s no need for any rewiring, which is a big plus. With an Aqara G5 Pro Camera Hub at home, it’s now easy to pick and choose what you need – sensors, switches, or whatever – and easily and affordably incorporate them into a single room — or the whole house.

All Weather Usage and Reliable even in Extreme Environments

The G5 Pro has an IP65-rated water and dust-resistant design, so it’s perfect for both indoor and outdoor use. Built to handle extreme conditions, it works reliably even in temperatures as low as -22°F, making sure your home stays protected through the toughest winters.

Does Aqara G5 Pro Camera Hub have built-in memory?

Yes, the Aqara G5 Pro does have internal memory. It comes with built-in eMMC storage, which is a type of high-speed memory chip. It comes with 32GB of eMMC storage. This internal storage allows the camera to record video footage locally without needing an external memory card. However, the storage capacity isn’t expandable by users, though you can extend it by connecting the camera to a NAS (Network Attached Storage) system for additional space. The amount of recording time depends on the settings and resolution, but 8GB can typically hold a few hours of event-based recordings, while 32GB might cover a day or two.

Can I add an SD memory card to the Aqara G5 Pro Camera?

No, the Aqara G5 Pro Camera does not support adding an SD memory card. It relies on its built-in 32GB eMMC storage. Unlike some other security cameras, the G5 Pro doesn’t have a slot or option for expandable storage via SD or microSD cards. If you need more storage beyond what’s provided internally, you can integrate it with a NAS (Network Attached Storage) system for additional capacity, but that’s the primary way to extend its recording capabilities. The design prioritizes encrypted, onboard storage over removable media.

Was the the omission of SD card feature due to IP65 waterproofing?

It’s possible that the IP65 waterproofing influenced the decision to exclude an SD card slot on the Aqara G5 Pro, but it’s not necessarily the sole or primary reason. IP65 certification means the camera is dust-tight and protected against water jets, which makes it suitable for outdoor use. Adding a slot for an SD card could introduce a potential weak point in the sealing—think gaskets, flaps, or covers that might wear out or fail over time, compromising the waterproofing. Designing a fully sealed unit with internal eMMC storage eliminates that risk, ensuring consistent weather resistance without moving parts or openings.

That said, other factors could also play a role. Aqara might have opted for a streamlined design to keep costs down, simplify manufacturing, or push users toward cloud or NAS integration for storage, aligning with their ecosystem. Many modern smart cameras skip SD slots for similar reasons—favoring encryption and reliability of onboard memory over expandable options. So while IP65 could be a contributing factor, it’s likely a combination of design philosophy and practical engineering choices rather than just the waterproofing alone.
