If you’re a smart home enthusiast looking to bolster your home’s security in one fell swoop, then the ongoing sale on Aqara devices might be exactly what you’re after.
For those who don’t know, Aqara sells a wide range of smart home devices including thermostats, cameras and even pet feeders, and while a handful of those products are currently on offer, there’s a ‘make your own’ bundle hidden in plain sight that’s perfect for bolstering the security of your front door.
Right now the Aqara Video Doorbell G4 and the Aqara Smart Lock U200 are significantly reduced, both of which make for the ideal bundle to have your front door be as secure as possible, giving you peace of mind at a discount.
Starting with the most important part of that duo, the Aqara Video Doorbell G4 provides you with an instantly accessible video feed of what’s happening at your front door in real-time. Not only is this incredibly handy for any deliveries that turn up (as you can have a two-way conversation via the doorbell’s built-in microphone and speaker), but it can also keep you abreast of any movement it notices after the sun goes down with its night vision mode.
Aqara Video Doorbell G4 deal
Aqara’s video doorbell can let you capture crisp, HD footage of the front of your home, and let you communicate with anyone dropping off a parcel.

- Was £119.99
- Now just £79.99
There’s even Face Recognition available on the device, so you’ll know right away whether a friendly face has popped round to say hello. With support for both wired and wireless operation, the G4 gives you the freedom to place it either on the door itself or just off to the side, so there’s plenty of flexibility here to work with the space at hand.
You’ve got support for both local and cloud storage too, so if you’d rather avoid any additional fees entirely then you can opt for saving video to either a MicroSD card or network-attached storage. It is worth pointing out though that Aqara does offer seven days of free cloud storage at a time, so there is a free tier available which can save you quite a bit of money compared to the competition.
If you’re away on holiday and a friend needs to swing by your home to borrow something, or simply just to water the plants in your stead, then the Aqara Smart Lock U200 can let them in without hassle. In these instances, you can give them a code for the keypad and then change the code when you return.
Aqara Smart Lock U200 deal
No need to worry about losing your keys ever again with the Aqara Smart U200, which lets you access your home via a code, your Apple Watch, an NFC tag and more.
- Amazon
- Was £269.99
- Now just £189.99
With the smart lock in tow, you won’t have to worry about leaving home without your keys ever again. From an NFC tag to remote access via the Aqara app, there are tons of options for getting back into your abode. Thanks to compatibility with Apple Home keys, you can even open the lock with your Apple Watch. For kids or dependents who might not have access to the app, you can get them set up with the built-in fingerprint reader for quick access.
Similarly, the nagging worry that you’ve left the door unlocked is a thing of the past when you have the U200 installed, as it can automatically lock itself after the door is closed, and you can confirm as much by heading into the Aqara app.
With the Aqara Video Doorbell G4 and the Aqara Smart Lock U200 reduced to £79.99 and £189.99 respectively, you can now buy both of these products together for just £269.98, bolstering your home’s security and saving you £120 in the process.
If you want to expand your smart home ecosystem even further there are other products currently on sale via Aqara’s Amazon store, including security cameras, presence sensors and more.
