Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The G4 offers flexible installation. You can mount it using the included 3M adhesive tape for a quick, screw-free setup, or use the provided screws for a more permanent fixture. It can be powered by six AA batteries (included) or connected to existing doorbell wiring. Ensure you have a 2.4GHz Wi-Fi network available during setup. Follow the in-app instructions for pairing the doorbell with your network and the Chime-Repeater.
Compatibility: The Aqara Video Doorbell G4 is compatible with Apple HomeKit Secure Video, Amazon Alexa, Google Home, Samsung SmartThings, and IFTTT. It requires a 2.4GHz Wi-Fi connection. The Chime-Repeater is required for doorbell sound and can also act as a Wi-Fi extender for Aqara sensors.
Care: To maintain optimal performance, periodically wipe the camera lens and the doorbell housing with a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners. If using battery power, check battery levels regularly via the app and replace them as needed. For wired installations, ensure the connections are secure and protected from the elements. It is recommended to install the doorbell in a sheltered location, such as under a porch roof, to protect it from direct weather exposure.
