Product details

The Aqara E1 Camera (CH-C01E) is an affordable yet future-proof camera that focuses on smart home automation capabilities and ecosystem support. It is equipped with the latest networking technologies such as Wi-Fi 6 and significantly reduces false alarms by integrating a local, AI-based person detection and tracking system.

The E1 camera can be integrated into third-party ecosystems like Apple Home, Google Home, and Amazon Alexa. It supports Apple HomeKit Secure Video, ensuring that the recorded videos are privately analyzed and encrypted on your Home Hub devices (Apple TV or HomePod) and secure iCloud storage. With an iCloud+ subscription, you can access the last 10 days of activity from one or more cameras.

Capture every detail in clearer, more natural images.

The camera provides detailed colour images during the day and neat black and white clips at night. Thanks to its many functions, superior people recognition and automatic panning movements, the E1 always has a good view of what is happening. It saves locally using a memory card and directly in the cloud with Apple: the online storage "HomeKit Secure Video" is currently not available anywhere cheaper!

The Aqara E1 was convincing when tested. It responds quickly to user inputs, is easy to operate and displays the live stream without any delay. The Aqara E1 is primarily of interest to users who want to expand their smart home with a PTZ camera. It can be used both with the Aqara platform and with Apple Home for smart automation.
