Consider G3 when its supported camera-and-hub combination serves the project; compare E1 when the requirement is the camera itself.
Two indoor cameras can look like competing answers to the same question. G3's hub role changes that comparison if compatible Aqara sensors are part of the room plan.
List those sensors and check the exact supported child devices before counting a separate hub as unnecessary. Do not assume that a camera with similar branding provides the same hub functions.
For a camera-only need, judge the view, placement, privacy and recording workflow directly. Combining functions is useful when both jobs are wanted; buying an extra hub role that you will not use can complicate rather than improve the decision.
Before you order
- List any sensors the hub must support.
- Verify the exact camera and hub functions.
- Compare the intended recording and privacy workflow.
A useful next step
Compare complete camera-only and camera-plus-sensors packages.
