Singaporeans Keep Making These 4 Doorbell Mistakes—Don’t Be One of Them!

In Singapore’s fast-paced urban environment, home security and convenience are top priorities. Yet, many homeowners unknowingly compromise both by making avoidable mistakes with their doorbell choices. From poor connectivity to ignoring waterproofing, these errors leave homes vulnerable or create daily frustrations. Here’s the top 4 doorbell mistakes Singaporeans make—and how the Aqara Smart Video Doorbell G4 solves them all.

Mistake #1: Choosing a Non-Waterproof Doorbell

Singapore’s tropical climate—relentless rain, humidity, and scorching sun—demands durable outdoor devices. Many opt for cheap, non-waterproof doorbells that rust, fog up, or fail within months.

Aqara’s Fix:

The Aqara Smart Video Doorbell G4 boasts an IPX3 waterproof rating, built to withstand Singapore’s downpours and humidity. Its full glass lens ensures a clear and stable video display. No more worrying about sudden thunderstorms ruining your doorbell! This wireless doorbell operating temperature is -18°C ~ 50°C (-0.4°F ~ 122°F) & its Operating Humidity
0 ~ 95% RH, no condensation.

Mistake #2: Ignoring Connectivity Issues in Dense Living Spaces

Singapore’s HDB flats and landed properties often face Wi-Fi dead zones due to thick concrete walls, metal gates, or interference from neighboring networks. Many homeowners install video doorbells without considering these hurdles, only to face frustrating buffering, delayed alerts, or outright disconnections.

Aqara’s Fix:

The Aqara G4 includes a Chime-Repeater, ensuring stable network performance even in areas with weak Wi-Fi signals. It supports Wi-Fi IEEE 802.11 b/g/n 2.4 GHz + WPA3, reducing connection drops and ensuring instant notifications.

Mistake #3: Overlooking Smart Home Integration

Many Singaporeans buy standalone doorbells that don’t sync with their existing smart home ecosystems. This limits automation (e.g., turning on lights when someone rings the bell) and forces users to juggle multiple apps.

Aqara’s Fix:

The Aqara G4 works seamlessly with Apple HomeKit Secure Video doorbells, Google Home, and Alexa. Pair it with smart lights, locks, or cameras for a unified security system. Use voice commands like “Hey Siri, show me the front door” for instant access.

Mistake #4: Settling for Limited Viewing Angles and Low-Quality Video

Many homeowners install video doorbells with narrow fields of view or low-resolution cameras, which limit visibility and make it hard to identify visitors or monitor surroundings effectively. A restricted field of view might miss blind spots, leaving your home vulnerable.

Aqara’s Fix:

The Aqara G4 features a 162° super wide-angle field of view and 1080p HD video, ensuring you capture a broad, clear image of your doorstep. Whether you’re home or away, the on-demand video and two-way talk features let you see and communicate with visitors in real time via your smartphone—providing peace of mind and enhanced security. You can label frequent visitors, set up custom alerts for different people
