Review on Aqara Security Camera: HomeKit Secure Video Indoor Camera with Night Vision and Two-Way Audio by Dean Love

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Updated Review - CCTV

10/30/20 Since the review is below I have updated the firmware and uninstalled the Aquara app. I removed them from HomeKit and reinstalled them as a new camera. Since then it only works with HomeKit. Bought to use with HomeKit Secure Video. Worked for a few days, then the records are not played back. I also got 5 or 6 notifications in 2 seconds when I ran in front of it. 1 is all I need. Not sure if iCloud not playing recordings is an Apple or Camera issue, but it doesn't work either way. I then connected via the aquarium app, although I decided not to. I wanted to troubleshoot if this is a HomeKit issue. It felt like they needed everything but my CC number to get started. He recorded everything in black and white with the Aquara app. Here's what happens when using night vision, even though I've set it to switch automatically. It was captured in color when using the HomeKit app alone. I'll be back.

Pros
  • Easy to use
Cons
  • Nothing here
