HomeKit Alerts and Defined Activity Areas
Configure the Aqara G3 Camera integrated with the Apple Home app to send notifications to your Apple devices when it detects motion in its frame, serving as a fundamental security feature To enhance this capability, Apple Home provides the option to specify notifications for particular types of motion—such as those caused by people, animals, and/or vehicles—offering a versatile range of choices to avoid false alarms. This way, you won’t receive notifications for minor movements, like your curtains swaying.
Furthermore, the Aqara G3 Camera supports the tracking of activity zones, enabling notifications for motion detection related to people, animals, or vehicles only within a designated area of the frame.
Facial Recognition Enabled for HomeKit
The Aqara G3, integrated with Apple HomeKit Secure Video, conducts facial recognition with AI processes taking place on your Apple device rather than in the cloud. It can identify faces from your iCloud Photo Library and send notifications when your family members arrive home.
Requirements for this functionality include iOS/iPadOS/tvOS 14 or higher. Note that HomeKit facial recognition is an independent Apple feature and is not connected to the Aqara G3’s onboard recognition systems.
