The Camera Hub G350 isn’t just an indoor security camera, either. It also works as a Zigbee hub and Matter Controller within Aqara Home, allowing Aqara Zigbee devices and third-party Matter products to work together under a single smart home system. It can even act as a Matter bridge, meaning existing Aqara Zigbee devices can connect to other Matter ecosystems.
In terms of monitoring, the G350 packs a dual-lens camera system, combining a 4K wide-angle lens with a 2.5K telephoto lens. With up to 9x hybrid zoom and a smooth pan-and-tilt mechanism offering full 360° coverage, it’s designed to capture both wide views of a room and more detailed close-ups when needed.
Privacy has also been taken into account. The G350 supports encrypted cloud storage, local recording, and includes a physical lens shield that automatically covers the camera when it’s switched off.

The new G400 Wired Doorbell features 2K resolution, with a 165° ultra-wide field of view and a 3:4 head-to-toe aspect ratio, making it easier to see visitors and packages clearly.
It also combines local and cloud-based AI detection to deliver more detailed alerts. The on-device system can recognise people and motion even without an internet connection, whilst additional cloud AI can detect faces, packages, vehicles, animals and other events for more advanced home monitoring.
Both devices are available to buy from Amazon today, with the Camera Hub G350 priced at £139.99/$139.99 and the G400 Wired Doorbell priced at £99.99/$99.99.
