G3 cam: part HomeKit Secure Video camera, part AI hub

Every security system needs a central hub, and Aqara developed a Zigbee 3-powered hub that doubles as a high-def 2K surveillance camera. The Aqara Camera Hub G3 offers 360-degree rotation and a 45-degree tilt for a complete view of any room.

The Hub Camera G3 acts as security camera and central hub.

The Camera Hub G3 pairs effortlessly with HomeKit and provides a video feed with automatic cruise path planning. It's also compatible with HomeKit Secure Video, allowing you to add the G3 camera in the Home app to record your footage and view it from anywhere. With end-to-end encryption, you can access HomeKit Secure Video on your iPhone, iPad, Mac, iPod touch or Apple TV.

Plus, the Camera Hub G3 is AI-powered allowing it to learn over time. Thanks to a built-in IR controller, it can even replace several household remote controls.

Aqara offers a special 30% off deal this holiday season on the G3 camera. It usually costs $109.99, but that drops to just $79.98 after the discount.

DIY home security with Motion Sensor P1 & Door and Window Sensor

A security camera is a great start, but to really secure one's home, you'll want to add the Motion Sensor P1 and the Door and Window Sensor to your system.

Door and Window Sensors complete the home security package.

Aqara's Motion Sensor P1 is a small, high-precision infrared sensor that tracks heat sources with 170 degrees of view. It can activate alarms and send notifications through HomeKit if anything is awry.

The Motion Sensor P1 can turn on lights when you pair it with LED light bulbs, sold separately.

The Door and Window Sensor is also a safe choice for building your DIY security system. It comes with a sophisticated sensor and magnet that alerts you when a door or window is ajar. All the sensors and magnets, including the Motion Sensor P1, are tool-free, peel-and-stick installs, making it easy to secure your home.

The Motion Sensor P1 retails for $24.99, but is on sale through Dec. 25 for $19.98. Aqara's Door and Window Sensor also retails for $24.99, but is currently discounted to $15.29 at Amazon after the on-page coupon is applied.
