Aqara E1 Camera – Global Edition
$ 89.95
- Description The Aqara Camera E1 is an affordable indoor smart camera that swivels to follow the action — a motorised pan-and-tilt head sweeps a full 360° while a 2K sensor keeps faces and movement sharp. Sold by PassionHome as an Authorised Aqara Dealer in Singapore at S$129, it combines on-device person detection, 940nm invisible night vision and Apple HomeKit Secure Video support in a compact desk or shelf camera. It records to a microSD card with no subscription, backs up to a NAS, and includes 24 hours of free critical-event cloud storage. It is a Wi-Fi camera — not a smart-home hub — so it is an easy, low-cost way to add a smart camera to a home you already run through Apple Home, Google Home, Alexa or the Aqara app. Why buy the Aqara Camera E1 in Singapore 360° pan and tilt. A motorised head rotates a full 360° and tilts to cover a whole room, with person tracking that follows movement. 2K clarity. A 2304×1296 sensor with a wide-angle f/2.0 lens (101° diagonal) captures noticeably more detail than a basic Full HD camera. On-device AI. Person detection and motion filtering run locally on a built-in NPU — they keep working even without internet. Subscription-free recording. microSD up to 512 GB, SMB3 NAS backup, plus 24 hours of free critical-event cloud storage. Invisible night vision. 940nm infrared LEDs see in the dark without a distracting red glow. Authorised Aqara Dealer 24-month warranty. Genuine Singapore stock with local warranty service through the Aqara Service Center. 2K pan-and-tilt video that follows the action The Camera E1 records at 2K (1296p) through a wide-angle f/2.0 lens with a 101° diagonal field of view. Its motorised pan-and-tilt head turns a full 360°, so a single camera can watch an entire room rather than one fixed angle, and person tracking keeps a moving subject in frame. At night, 940nm infrared LEDs provide clear monochrome video without a visible glow. Note that the 360° figure is the coverage from the moving head — the lens itself sees 101° at any one moment. Smart detection — on-device, no subscription A built-in NPU runs person detection and motion-event filtering locally, so alerts work even if your internet drops, and video frames are processed on the device. Person and sound detection are surfaced in the Aqara Home app (sound detection is being added through a firmware update). When paired with Apple HomeKit Secure Video, Apple’s own people, animal and vehicle detection plus activity zones and on-device facial recognition run on your Apple home hub. Works with your smart home The Camera E1 is a Wi-Fi camera that fits into the ecosystem you already use: Apple HomeKit Secure Video — full HKSV support with end-to-end encryption and 10-day storage (an iCloud plan and an Apple home hub are required). Note that Apple Home does not expose the camera’s pan/tilt controls — use the Aqara Home app for those. Amazon Alexa and Google Home — stream a live view to compatible smart displays. Aqara Home — the full feature surface: pan/tilt control, person tracking, privacy mode and automations. Not a hub. Unlike the Camera Hub G3 or G350, the Camera E1 does not host Aqara Zigbee devices — it connects over Wi-Fi and can take part in Aqara automations on the same network. If you want a camera that doubles as a Zigbee hub, see the G3 or G350. Storage your way microSD up to 512 GB — local recording (Class 4 or above; card not included). NAS backup — back up to an SMB3-compatible NAS (a microSD card must be inserted). HomeKit Secure Video — 10-day encrypted iCloud storage with an iCloud plan. Free cloud — 24 hours of critical-event cloud storage, subscription-free. Privacy built in Mic mute — disable the microphone for privacy. Privacy mode — trigger pan/tilt-away and privacy scenes from the Aqara Home app. On-device facial recognition — when used with HomeKit Secure Video, facial recognition is processed on your Apple device, not in the cloud. Installation in Singapore The Camera E1 is an indoor camera (IP20 — not weatherproof), so keep it in living rooms, bedrooms, studies and other dry indoor spaces, not outdoors or in wet areas. It is powered over USB-C and requires a 5V/2A supply; the box includes a USB-A to USB-C cable but not a wall adapter, so use any standard 5V/2A USB charger. It connects to 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi (Wi-Fi 6, WPA3) and pairs in the Aqara Home app. If your estate is running an Aqara group buy, a significant discount applies when your estate unlocks.

Frequently asked questions Is the Aqara Camera E1 a pan-tilt camera? Yes. It has a motorised pan-and-tilt head that turns a full 360° and tilts to cover a whole room, with person tracking that follows movement. Note that pan/tilt control is available in the Aqara Home app — Apple Home does not expose the pan/tilt controls. Does the Camera E1 work as a smart-home hub? No. The Camera E1 is a Wi-Fi camera and does not host Aqara Zigbee devices. It can still take part in Aqara automations with hubs and devices on the same network. If you want a camera that doubles as a Zigbee hub, choose the Camera Hub G3 or G350. What resolution does it record at? 2K — a 2304×1296 sensor through a wide-angle f/2.0 lens with a 101° diagonal field of view. Night vision uses 940nm infrared for clear monochrome video in the dark. Do I need a subscription? No. The Camera E1 records to a microSD card (up to 512 GB) and runs person detection on-device with no subscription. It also includes 24 hours of free critical-event cloud storage, and supports SMB3 NAS backup. Apple HomeKit Secure Video offers 10-day encrypted iCloud storage with an iCloud plan. Does it work with Apple Home? Yes — it supports Apple HomeKit Secure Video with end-to-end encryption (an iCloud plan and an Apple home hub are required). It also streams a live view to Amazon Alexa and Google Home displays. Pan/tilt control is done in the Aqara Home app. Can the Camera E1 be used outdoors? No. It is rated IP20 and is not waterproof, so it is for indoor use only — living rooms, bedrooms and studies. For outdoor use, choose a weatherproof Aqara camera such as the Camera G100 or the Camera G5 Pro Hub. Is there a local warranty? Yes. The Camera E1 carries a 24-month Aqara manufacturer warranty with Singapore-based service through the Aqara Service Center. PassionHome is an Authorised Aqara Dealer — WhatsApp 65 9051 7063 for help.
