Outdoor fixed camera with local detection and an Aqara hub / Cameras
G5 Pro is most persuasive when you want local recognition, outdoor Aqara coverage and a camera position that suits its color night vision. The $30 PoE premium is worthwhile when Ethernet is available. At $199.99 or more, it is hard to justify for basic video alone, and its lack of infrared night vision is a real drawback where a spotlight would be unwelcome.
