Aqara’s new Camera Hub G350 claims the title of the first Matter‑certified camera, a milestone for buyers who want to escape vendor lock‑in. Packed with a 4K wide‑angle and 2.5K telephoto lens, the device also offers a 9× hybrid zoom and a motorized pan‑tilt base that delivers a full 360‑degree view in every room today.

Beyond video, the G350 doubles as a Zigbee hub, a Matter controller, and a Thread border router, letting Aqara sensors talk to Apple Home. It also runs on‑device AI to track people and pets, shielding privacy with a physical lens cover that snaps shut when the camera powers down in your home setup again.

When connected, the camera feeds into HomeKit Secure Video at 1080p, yet its RTSP output unlocks full 4K footage that can stream to a NAS or microSD card up to 512 GB. The device ships with a long USB‑C cable but omits a wall adapter, a small but noticeable omission for many users in your setup.

The G350’s combination of Matter support, dual‑lens optics, and built‑in hub functions makes it one of the most compelling security cameras of the year. Its hardware privacy shutter and local AI tracking underline Aqara’s focus on user control, positioning the device as a forward‑looking choice in today market for tech savvy buyers.
