Aqara Camera E1
Native integrationLocal control
- Wi-Fi
Verified July 2026
A tidy £50-ish 2K pan/tilt with Wi-Fi 6 that pairs locally with Home Assistant via HomeKit Controller — no cloud subscription needed. Be aware there's no RTSP or ONVIF at all, and the HomeKit stream in HA can be sluggish to load; if you want a Frigate-friendly Aqara camera, spend up on the G5 Pro instead.
