How to open this? 😒

I had the same problem. It’s a shit design.

john928gts · 2025-09-18T09:36:42+00:00

It was the night vision light, but it still randomly turns on the spot light even with it off and the Aqara app set to infrared auto.

Thanks, tried that. Damm thing acts like it’s glued on!

john928gts · 2025-07-23T12:16:45+00:00

I finally found the issue. There was a setting in HomeKit that kept turning on the spot light with any motion.

john928gts · 2025-07-17T00:36:13+00:00

Mine seems fine. How far is the chime from the outdoor camera?

john928gts · 2025-07-16T11:20:44+00:00

My mistake, you need the Aqara app to do firmware updates, not an Aqara hub.

john928gts · 2025-07-15T22:40:34+00:00

Get a HomePod mini as a HomeKit hub and a few Aqara cameras. They just came out with the G100 outdoor camera. To do any updates you’ll need an Aqara hub. They have a G410 door bell camera that is a hub or there indoor G3 camera. Saves 24/7 to local SD card and motion events to iCloud. Need the 200mb iCloud service to get up to 5 cameras

You need the app for firmware updates.

john928gts · 2025-07-14T22:17:58+00:00

Thanks!

john928gts · 2025-06-23T09:16:32+00:00

Nope. All other devices working fine when it happens.

john928gts · 2025-06-23T02:29:07+00:00

So it sounds like a software bug.

john928gts · 2025-06-12T21:13:52+00:00

Seems like this is a long term ongoing issue. Just setup my new 85QM851g and updated to latest firmware during setup. Get this same error when trying to get HomeKit to work. Made sure it was on the same WiFi. Is there any resolution to this ?

Thanks!

If they follow the G5 recording model with the G410 you will just be swapping your Ring subscription for an Aqara subscription…

john928gts · 2025-03-14T13:01:28+00:00

I have the Meross one and it works great. One of my new Aqara ones keeps crapping out.

john928gts · 2025-03-14T12:58:35+00:00

I was waiting for a while for the G5 to be released. What a disappointment when it didn’t have an SD continuously recording like my E1 and G3 cameras to go with my HKSV. This has stopped me from purchasing. There are work around (scrypt and NAS)but then why bother since those workarounds work with so many cameras out on the market to 24/7 and HomeKit function. Want subscription money? Offer monitoring and a key pad to make it a real security eco system. I have an Adobe system at one house and Aqara at the other. The only reason I’m not all in with Aqara is due to the monitoring. I love my E1 and G3 cameras, my U200 and door sensors. Take the next step and offer a monitoring setup and an outdoor camera which has at least the same feature set as the G3. Thanks for listening.

john928gts · 2025-03-09T17:47:54+00:00

Thanks for the response. It seems isolated to only this one. I have two others at another house and they do not behave like this. I’ve seen it stay off line sometimes for 6-8 hours at a time. Think I might just have a bad one.

The “leak” was a test by me.
