The Aqara G410 adds 2K video, mmWave presence detection, dual-band Wi-Fi, and more extensive smart-home capabilities to the G4. The G4 includes 1080p video, local facial recognition, and is compatible with most smart-home systems. Both models share the same published dimensions, such as 141.5 × 65 × 30.4 mm. The indoor units also share the same dimensions, such as 65.2 x 65 x 28.4 mm. These similarities make the G410 easier to install than a G4. Just because the parts are the same size doesn't mean that all mounting accessories are compatible. Existing owners should ensure they have the necessary power supply and should factor in the G410's indoor Chime/Hub.

How Do the Aqara G410 and G4 Differ in Camera and Detection Capabilities?

The G410 has a 2K camera and a 4:3 aspect ratio with a 175° diagonal field of view. These specifications provide a broader, higher perspective of the entrance so that users can observe passersby and nearby packages. It captures the image in 1080p with a 162° diagonal view, much like the G3. Like the G3, it captures 1080p video with a 162° diagonal field of view. Both feature local facial recognition, infrared night vision, and two-way audio. The G410 uses millimeter-wave (mmWave) radar for presence and lingering detection. This sensor helps the doorbell distinguish sustained presence from fleeting movement, which reduces unnecessary noise. The G410 has better image detail and an extra detection method than the other model, while both models provide security monitoring. One important limitation is that Apple HomeKit Secure Video doesn't support full 2 K resolution, so the G410 stream is limited to 1200p.

How Do Their Smart-Home and Connectivity Capabilities Differ?

The G410's indoor Chime/Hub makes it more versatile than the G4 for a larger smart home. It functions as a Matter controller, Thread border router, and Aqara Zigbee hub. This configuration lets compatible devices connect to the G410 without a separate Aqara hub for the supported functions. It also supports dual-band 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Thread, and Zigbee. The G4 offers 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi but lacks a built-in Matter controller, Thread border router, or Zigbee hub. Both models support Apple Home and HomeKit Secure Video, as well as streaming to supported smart displays. The G410 streams via RTSP when powered via the power cable. This also applies to compatible local monitoring systems like Home Assistant. Available features vary by integration, so review each platform's requirements.

Are the Aqara G410 and G4 the Same Size?

Yes, the Aqara G410 and G4 are the same size. The G410 has a smaller published body footprint than the G4. The G410 doesn't have a larger published body footprint than the G4. Both models have the same box contents, such as 6 AA batteries, wall screws and anchors, wedge screws, and a 20° wedge bracket. Matching dimensions do not guarantee that all mounting plates, protective covers, or third-party accessories fit both models. Test compatibility before using preexisting accessories.

Can Existing Aqara G4 Mounting Hardware Be Reused With the G410?

G4 mounting hardware is similar to the G410, but Aqara does not guarantee universal compatibility. In response to the forum, an Aqara representative confirmed that both models use the same wall screw, wedge screw, and external power terminal screw. They also have the same published body dimensions and a 20° wedge bracket. Aqara's published specs don't explicitly state that all G4 backplates are interchangeable with all G410 installations. Any positive comments about reusing a backplate are case-by-case, not a universal compatibility statement. Pay special attention to protective accessories, as the Aqara forum has reported that a G4 waterproof case cannot be used with the G410. Check each accessory before using again.

How Do the G410 and G4 Differ in Power and Indoor Chime/Hub Requirements?

G410 and G4 doorbells are powered by 6 LR6 AA batteries, 12-24V AC with 0.2A/50/60Hz; a 5V/1A USB-powered indoor unit. The main difference between the two is the supported DC input. The G4 accepts 8–24V DC at 0.5A, while the G410 specifies 12–24V DC at 0.5A. Make sure you understand what it actually provides before switching models if you're using an existing DC supply. Indoor units also serve different roles. The G4 includes a Chime Repeater; the G410 includes a Chime/Hub with additional smart-home hub functions. Do not assume the indoor units are interchangeable or cross-pairable, even though they appear to be the same size. Plan to use the G410's own Chime/Hub if not otherwise confirmed by Aqara.

How Do Storage and Streaming Options Differ Between the G410 and G4?

G410 and G4 models offer local microSD storage of up to 512 GB in the indoor unit, so the maximum card capacity isn't a distinguishing feature. Aqara's official documentation also covers NAS-related storage options, and they're not exclusive to the G410 model. The G410 also adds RTSP streaming (when the doorbell is wired-powered). This is useful if you want to use the camera stream with compatible third-party software. Continuous recording is also documented when it is hardwired on Aqara's G410. Review the most up-to-date documentation for the specific model before using a specific streaming or storage flow.

What Should a G4 Owner Verify Before Switching to the G410?

Check 4 things before replacing a G4. First, determine whether the G410's 2K camera, mmWave presence sensing, dual-band Wi-Fi, and built-in Matter, Thread, and Zigbee hub functions benefit your system. Second, check the power supply, especially when using DC connections, since the G410's minimum is 12V, not 8V like the G4. Third, make sure your current backplate, rain cover, enclosure, or accessory will fit, and don't assume it will just because the published size is the same. Fourth, don't assume the G4 repeater swapped with the G410's indoor Chime/Hub. Replacing parts with the same size or identical mounting mechanism is easier. It doesn't mean they are compatible with all accessories. Refer to the dedicated G410 installation guide for mounting and wiring instructions, and the G410 overview for its full features and Apple Home details.
