This article compares three HomeKit-compatible security cameras tested over 6 months:
Eve Indoor Cam ($99)
Best for simplicity with native HomeKit, privacy shutter, but requires iCloud+ subscription for recording.
Aqara G4 Doorbell ($129)
Recommended as best overall with native HomeKit Secure Video, SD card storage (no subscription), and local face recognition.
Eufy S350 ($129)
Offers 4K quality and auto-tracking but requires a bridge and separate app for full functionality.
Our Recommendation
The Aqara G4 is the top pick for 2025 due to its balance of:
- Native HomeKit integration
- No subscription requirement
- Local privacy features
Key Drawbacks to Consider
- Eve: Requires paid iCloud+
- Eufy: Needs a bridge for full functionality
- Aqara: Requires wired doorbell installation
