Working well in an Apple HomeKit environment
Reviewed April 2024:Bought this on a bit of a whim, as it was on special and I came across it while checking the price of another brand.We’re an Apple household, using HomeKit for lights, heating, power strips and a number of cameras from different manufacturers, some directly support HomeKit, some require HomeBridge to connect them together. It all works pretty well.Wanted a camera set up in the garden shed, ideally with the means to record without having a subscription and additional cost. Have previously experimented with one Netatmo camera, which is excellent, but even at the cheapest I paid, still double what this Aqara unit is, and its static while this has pan and tilt.Set up was relatively painless, I used the Aqara app to set it up in the house, and once all working, moved it to the shed.I decided to set it on the roof, meaning its upside down. There is a fitting kit supplied, so this was painless and in the Aqara software its possible to adjust the picture by rotating it, and this is then inherited into HomeKit.Adjusting the pan and tilt can only be carried out using the Aqara software, it is (currently) not possible directly from HomeKit, although I’m told this is due to HomeKit not supporting it, not an issue with Aqara. (come on Apple, sort this out!).Pan and tilt works pretty well, I don’t use it much once its set up to give a view of the shed door and the camera is quite a wide field of view so there is no way somebody can get in without being picked up.Picture quality is pretty decent, its as good as a Google camera (we have several of these both indoor and out), and this includes the night vision which I think it probably better than the Google ones, but its an opinion rather than based on any test.History is stored on a memory card (not included), I think it may be possible to also save events on a NAS drive of similar, although I’ve not experimented with this yet.Overall, this is a good buy. I’m not sure we have a need for another indoor camera, but this would be a good choice.

Good camera
This camera allows connection to the WiFi network using WPA3 security protocol, use of HomeKit Secure Video (does not require to use the Aqara platform), has remote movement (only through the Aqara App), which is necessary as the field of view is not as wide as other cameras as the Eve Cam or the Logitech Circle view, but it can not be managed through the Apple Home App. Night vision is Ok. Set up is easy and straightforward.

Awesome value HomeKit camera
There is so much to love about this camera. Firstly, the price represents great value for the feature set. By far my favourite feature is the way you can create preset camera positions then add those as scenes in Apple home and trigger them from other sensors. I have IKEA PARASOLL door sensors and VALLHORN motion sensors around the house, they are dirt cheap and work really well, I can use these to trigger the Aqara scene to rotate the camera, great feature, so useful. Setup of the camera is super simple and quick. My only real complaint is the field of view isnât particularly wide, Iâd have like it a little wider, but I guess as itâs 360 degree movement itâs not that big of a deal. Night vision is absolutely excellent, Iâd say itâs almost as good as it is in the day. Iâll be getting more of these, best HomeKit indoor camera on the market as far as Iâm concerned.

Very effective and easy integration with Apple Home
I love the way it works seamlessly with Apple home integration. Great value for money, simple UI & seamless integration with Apple Home.

Itâs okay but not as good as you might expect
It integrates with Apple Home but not in all ways. For example you canât set it up to turn a light on if it detects humans. Although the camera supports human detection, if you want it to interact with devices it works on general detection only. The Home app doesnât do tilt and pan either. You need the specific app to do that. The human face detection works well.

Compré la Aqara E1 principalmente por su compatibilidad con Apple HomeKit Secure Video, y la verdad es que superó mis expectativas. La calidad de imagen 2K es excelente, y lo que más me sorprendió fue lo fluida y sin retrasos que es la transmisión en vivo, incluso cuando estoy fuera de casa. Para todo lo que ofrece, me parece que tiene un precio muy accesible. Una gran compra.

Image quality is good. But a number of options need a paid subscription for cloud storage, and those options do not accept NAS server storage.Do your homework before buying this product

Camera is wonderful and works well with Apple Homekit! There’s more function options within the Aquara app so I have both on my phone to use the camera. I also have other Aquara apps and like the functionality of the app.
