Aqara Camera E1

Smarter vision for a safer home.

Product Description:

The Aqara Camera E1 is an affordable, future-proof camera designed with a focus on smart home automation capabilities and ecosystem support. It includes the latest networking technologies like Wi-Fi 6 and minimises false alerts with built-in local AI-based person detection and tracking.

Key Features:

• All-Round Compatibility: The Aqara Camera E1 seamlessly integrates with third-party ecosystems, including Apple HomeKit, Google Home, and Amazon Alexa. It fully supports Apple HomeKit Secure Video, ensuring private analysis and video encryption on your home hub devices (Apple TV or HomePod) and secure iCloud storage*. With an iCloud+ subscription, you can access the last 10 days of activity from one or more cameras.
• Experience a Clearer, Natural Picture with Pan and Tilt Functionality: Capture every detail in stunning 2K ultra-high definition. Monitor real-time events in front of the camera at any time to ensure the safety and well-being of your children. Enjoy two-way audio communication and night vision capabilities. Plus, use the Pan and Tilt function for tracking and recording in large areas, providing a 360° viewing perspective. Everything becomes convenient and reassuring.
• Enhancements in Privacy Protection: The Aqara Camera E1 offers a privacy mode that allows users to customise camera rotation, disable the camera, and hide specific areas from the frame. It introduces the ability to disable audio recording or turn off the microphone manually or through automation. E1 also supports WPA3 for enhanced security and privacy protection.
• 24/7 Recording**& Multiple Storage Methods: 24/7 recording offers peace of mind around the clock but requires a Micro SD card (not included). Choose between SD card or paid cloud storage (with one day of free use***) to avoid video storage issues. Enjoy multiple storage options for more flexibility.
• Local Person Detection Integrated in Automations****: The E1 can recognise human shapes and perform 350-degree tracking shots. It seamlessly integrates with Aqara's multicategory ecosystem through AI person tracking. For instance, when the E1 detects someone in the hallway, it can trigger the lights to turn on*. Additionally, door and window sensors at the front door can prompt the E1 to move to a specific position for precise shooting.
• User-friendly Installation and Settings: MagicPair's use of Bluetooth networking ensures a stable and efficient E1 connection, complemented by Wi-Fi 6 certification. The camera supports both horizontal and inverted installation with a 1/4-inch threaded screw attachment and screw-mounting base, all powered by a USB-C interface*****.
• Customise to Your Liking: It supports up to 50 frequently used location presets, 15-second time-lapse video creation, custom ringtones, and has power-off memory to ensure you won't miss family moments after a power outage, with automatic return.

Automation Capabilities:

1. Essential insight into everything in your home.

IF Door and Window Sensor is triggered,

THEN Camera E1 turns to the pre-defined position and records video.

With Aqara's hubs and sensors, the E1 serves as more than just a security camera for unexpected break-ins when you're away. It's capable of recording vibrations, water leaks, and other conditions, providing you with the information needed for an effective response.

(Requires: Camera E1 + Hub + Sensor)

2. Expose the full Camera E1 functionality to HomeKit, Alexa, and Google Home.

IF a “Welcome Home” scene is triggered in Apple HomeKit,

THEN Aqara home scene switches the Camera E1 to privacy mode.

Thanks to Aqara Home scenes exposed to HomeKit, third-party automations can trigger the E1's Privacy Mode, Pan/Tilt, and other functionalities!

(Requires: Camera E1 + Apple HomePod)

3. Nighttime convenience for the elderly.

IF Camera E1 detects a person,

THEN Set LED Strip T1 to a static tuneable white effect.

This automation eliminates the need for fumbling with switches or manually turning on lights or lamps at night, enabling the elderly to comfortably drink water or visit the bathroom with ease and safety. The soft, adjustable lighting is gentle on the eyes, preserving sleep quality, while smart detection ensures energy efficiency by activating the lights only when needed.

(Requires: Camera E1 + Hub + LED Strip T1)

4. Turn on/off full privacy mode.

 IF Door Lock U100 is opened with an authorised fingerprint,

THEN Camera E1 switches to privacy mode.

 This considers user privacy as the Camera E1 stops recording when people return home.

 (Requires: Camera E1 + Hub + Door Lock U100)
