I had a G2H for a couple weeks now and I would NOT recommend it for anyone if you plan to use it for real security - only speaking for Homekit Secure Video.
1. The motion sensor only triggers recording when motion is continuously detected. Sometimes there are movements and nothing is recorded.
2. The image quality of the camera OR whatever encoding Homekit Secure Video uses is terrible. You can't even distinguish faces when the person is >1.5 meters away. (You can recognise family members but useless for intruders).
3. The only awesome part is two way talking is supported (You can use the microphone and the speaker on the camera to talk). - but that's the only good thing I can say about this camera.
Will probably resort to Homebridge and RTSP feed from my network cameras instead.

i suppose if purely on HKSV its abit lacking, but tat is also due to wifi strength (i recall u mention u have a big house and crappy wifi) and auto quality selection by default. i have force it to full 1080 as i dont hav icloud package that support recording therefore rely on local SD plus local SD support continuous recording. The aqara app allow much more selection. i guess you can try set it there and review on HKSV again. would appreciate ur feedback cos thats a RM40 monthly subscription since i have 4 units. the only issue i had was it working as a hub as i couldnt add child device to it, nor it work in xiaomi app the siren automation rely purely on the G2H motion sensor and not the rest of house sensor. could be my setup but i have tried many times with different device but still in vain
one thing to add, the aqara app also allow area of recording/mask and adusting the sensitivity of motion/noise detection

Sifu2 using Aqara system
I plan to get an Aqara G2H and a single 3-gang Aqara wall switch

Got a few questions:

1. If i buy the new Aqara G2H camera, i do not need an aqara hub anymore right?

no needed, furthermore the g2h has been just updated to exposed the d1 switches to homekit (firmware 0515) which previously it was not
