Aqara Launches Matter-Certified G350 Camera and G400 Doorbell

Aqara, a prominent smart home device manufacturer, has launched two new security cameras: the Camera Hub G350, the first device certified for Matter camera compatibility, and the Doorbell Camera G400, a wired video doorbell. Both products became available for purchase this week through retailers including Amazon and Aqara's website, aiming to simplify integration across diverse smart home ecosystems.

The G350 indoor camera stands out for its pioneering support of Matter 1.5, the latest version of the open-source standard that promotes interoperability among platforms such as Apple Home, Google Home, Amazon Alexa, and Samsung SmartThings. Introduced in late 2025, Matter's camera features enable unified control, including live streaming, two-way audio, pan-tilt-zoom adjustments, and event-based recording, all manageable from a single app. However, adoption remains limited; only Samsung SmartThings currently supports Matter-compatible cameras, allowing basic functions like live feeds and snapshots, while advanced capabilities such as full video history and AI alerts require the Aqara app or firmware updates.
