Matter Compatibility & Seamless Integration in Your Smart Home: Being one of the first cameras supporting Matter 1.5 specs, the Camera Hub G350 plugs straight into Matter platforms* and offers live view, two-way talk, and alerts at the Matter fabric level. The Matter standard allows for smoother, low-latency streaming and unified control across ecosystems, delivering a simplified user experience. Additionally, the G350 works with major smart home platforms such as Apple Home** (including HomeKit Secure Video***), Alexa, Google Home, and SmartThings, and its RTSP support allows for video streaming to Home Assistant and NVR software like Frigate and Blue Iris.
Ultra-clear 4K Quality With 9x Zoom, Vivid Clarity Near and Far: This dual-lens camera pairs a 4K wide-angle lens and a 2.5K telephoto lens to deliver an exceptional 9x hybrid zoom, allowing users to capture a panoramic view and discern small details like reading a label or identifying a face. Thanks to the invisible 940 nm infrared lighting and an f/1.6 aperture, the G350 camera captures sharper images at night with less motion blur.
Pan/Tilt 360° View with AI-Powered Auto Tracking: The fluid pan/tilt mechanism ensures 360° awareness, eliminating blind spots while allowing for customizable cruise routines and up to 30 preset angles for quick access to fixed points. The panorama viewfinder allows users to jump from a wide overview to any area of interest with a single tap. Furthermore, the G350 camera features AI-powered automatic tracking to keep people and pets always in frame, and the innovative close-up tracking feature can automatically zoom in to capture more details.
On-device AI Detection for Context-aware Home Security: Equipped with advanced local AI, the G350 camera can intelligently alert you only to meaningful events and genuine threats. It detects and alerts specific events (person, pets, facial recognition, and lens obstruction) and sounds (e.g., alarm, crying, coughing, barking). In addition, it also detects smiles and hand gestures, allowing users to interact with their smart home intuitively: capture a portrait with a smile-triggered snap, or activate a scene or routine with a simple gesture.
A Matter Hub for Aqara and Bridge for Third-Party Systems: More than a camera, the G350 doubles as a powerful Aqara Zigbee hub and Matter Controller, as well as a bridge, linking your Aqara devices to major ecosystems while pulling third-party Matter devices into Aqara Home for unified, future-ready control.
Focus on Privacy: The camera is designed with user privacy in mind. It offers end-to-end encrypted storage on the Aqara cloud via the HomeGuardian plan, and local storage on a microSD card of up to 512 GB with NAS data transfer support. Moreover, it has a physical mechanism to shut the lens whenever the camera turns off, assuring users’ privacy and giving users peace of mind.
