Aqara’s Camera Hub G5 Pro (Wi-Fi) represents exceptional value at $119.99, down 33% from $179.99 in this holiday sale. The dual-purpose device functions as both a high-resolution outdoor security camera and a smart home hub, eliminating the need for separate hardware.
With 2.6K resolution, an IP65 housing, AI-powered detection (of faces, vehicles, packages and pets), and various cloud and storage options, it’s perfect for monitoring entryways and living spaces or keeping an eye on pets while away. Apple users will appreciate its HomeKit Secure Video support, which allows encrypted video storage in iCloud and viewing directly through the Home app.
Aqara Doorbell Camera Hub G410
Don’t overlook the front door. This sale drops the Aqara Doorbell Camera Hub G410 to just $94.99 (27% off the list price of $129.99). It’s a complete video doorbell solution with two-way audio, on-device facial recognition, and the ability to see visitors before opening the door.
With HomeKit Secure Video support, you can receive doorbell notifications on your Apple devices and see who’s at the door right from your Lock Screen or Home app. Video doorbells have become an essential component of modern home security, and at this price point, there’s little reason to put off the upgrade.
Camera Protect Kit Y100
The Camera Protect Kit Y100, on sale for $89.99 (36% off from $139.99), provides indoor monitoring without breaking the bank. It bundles an Aqara Camera Hub G3 with three sensors (door, motion and vibration) for layered protection. Plus, it features Matter/HomeKit integration and smart alerts for peace of mind.
All the sensors in this kit work together to trigger smart alerts and video recordings, creating a truly connected and secure home, even when you’re away. The significant discount makes professional-grade security accessible to more homeowners.

Serving as the brain of an Aqara home automation ecosystem, the Hub M3 is on sale for $99.99 (23% off from $129.99). This central controller connects various Aqara sensors and devices, enabling sophisticated automation scenarios and ensuring reliable communication between components.
It’s an essential purchase for anyone serious about building an integrated smart home system. However, Apple users should note: If you already own a HomePod, HomePod mini or Apple TV 4K, those devices can serve as a HomeKit hub for Aqara’s HomeKit-compatible products. You may not need the Hub M3 unless you’re using Aqara devices that require Zigbee connectivity or want to access features outside the Apple ecosystem.
Door & Window Sensor Bundle
To secure your doors and windows, Aqara’s three-pack Door & Window Sensor Bundle at $33.99 (32% off from $49.99) is an affordable investment. These sensors are HomeKit-compatible, meaning they’ll show up in your Home app and can trigger Apple HomeKit automations — like turning on lights when you arrive home or adjusting the thermostat when windows open. Three sensors provide enough coverage for the main entry points or problem areas in most homes.

Beyond attractive pricing, Aqara’s ecosystem approach means these devices work together seamlessly. A door sensor can trigger your camera to record, unlocking a door can turn on smart lights, etc. And everything reports to a single interface. Unlike piecing together products from multiple manufacturers, Aqara’s unified platform ensures compatibility and simplified management.
For Apple users, the extensive HomeKit support means you can control everything with Siri, create automations in the Home app, and integrate Aqara devices with other HomeKit-enabled products you may already own.
The sale’s timing is particularly advantageous for last-minute shoppers. These aren’t trivial trinkets — they’re substantial upgrades that genuinely improve daily living. Smart locks mean never worrying about lost keys or whether you remembered to lock up. Security cameras provide peace of mind during holiday travel. And automation sensors add convenience to everyday routines.
Installation is generally straightforward, with most products designed for DIY setup. This means recipients can have their gifts operational within hours rather than waiting for professional installation appointments that might not happen until after the new year.
