The video highlights three of our standout releases: the Camera Hub G5 Pro, LED Bulb T2, and Voice Mate H1. Here’s an overview of what makes each of these products exceptional: 

Camera Hub G5 Pro: Surveillance Redefined 

Introducing the Camera Hub G5 Pro, Aqara’s first outdoor surveillance camera, available in both PoE and Wi-Fi versions. This 4MP camera is designed to provide superior security with features that include True Color Night Vision and advanced on-device AI. It can detect and recognize faces, vehicles, pets, and packages, allowing users to monitor their property in real time and deter potential intruders. 

The Camera Hub G5 Pro offers end-to-end encrypted live and recorded videos, with eMMC storage that can sync to both cloud and local NAS servers. Its wide compatibility with major platforms like Apple Home (including HomeKit Secure Video), Alexa, Google Home, and SmartThings ensures seamless integration into existing smart home systems. Additionally, the built-in Zigbee 3.0 hub facilitates connectivity between outdoor and indoor smart devices, while RTSP support enables streaming to NVRs and video servers. 

LED Bulb T2: Illuminate Your Space 

The LED Bulb T2 is a new addition to our smart lighting lineup, offering both RGB CCT and CCT versions. The RGB CCT version features an ultra-wide range of tunable whites (2000-9000K) and 16 million vibrant colors, perfect for creating the ideal ambiance in any room. Whether you need crisp white light for productivity or a soothing spectrum of colors to set the mood, the T2 delivers. 

Equipped with Thread and Zigbee communication, the LED Bulb T2 caters to diverse smart home preferences. The Thread-enabled version is future-proof, while the Zigbee option provides a proven, reliable experience. Available in E26, E27, and GU10 formats, the T2 series meets the needs of a wide range of smart home users. 

Voice Mate H1: Seamless Voice Control 

The Voice Mate H1 introduces a new level of convenience to the Aqara smart home system. As a companion accessory to the Aqara Hub M3, this compact, battery-powered device features a built-in microphone, enabling intuitive voice control without the need for a phone. The Voice Mate H1 activates only when picked up by the user, ensuring privacy while allowing voice commands through the Gen AI-enabled Aqara Copilot. 

Unlike traditional voice assistants that are always listening, the Voice Mate H1 stays in hibernation mode until needed, enhancing privacy protection for users.
