It lacks the option for expanding local storage but supports real-time streaming protocol (RTSP) for local video recording, allowing footage management through various software.
The Aqara Camera Hub G5 Pro PoE is on sale for $38 off, lowering the price to $162. It serves as a smart home hub and is the first outdoor camera from Aqara.
The G5 Pro is both a Thread border router and a Matter controller, supporting Zigbee. It can surveil your home while eliminating the need for a separate hub.
Unlike previous models, the G5 Pro cannot expand local storage, but its RTSP supports recording to local NAS, bypassing cloud storage fees.
RTSP access allows creative recording and management through software like Home Assistant, enabling users to store video locally without additional subscription costs.
