What Happened
The Aqara G350 is the first camera you can buy that has support for Matter.
Why It Matters
The first Matter camera is here – sort of.
Key Details
- Camera support came to the smart home standard last year, and Aqara's Camera Hub G350 is the first to support it.
- The G350, which was announced at CES, launched this week and is a pan-and-tilt indoor security camera with up to 4K video resolution.
- Today, the G350 only supports Matter on Samsung SmartThings, as none of the other platforms have added Matter 1.5 yet.
- I've only had the camera setup for a day, and it took several firmware updates before I could connect it as a Matter camera.
