I recently updated the firmware for the doorbell, and it now takes more than twice as long to connect when viewing through Apple HomeKit. The detection inaccuracies have returned, just as I had with the G4, where I am missing footage from several deliveries. I don't know what they messed up with the firmware update, but it has made almost every aspect of this doorbell worse. The only positive I can think of is the image is no longer bright white from over exposure when first opening the camera feed.
It's still a serviceable doorbell, and I'll still be keeping it only due to the lack of options for HomeKit Secure Video battery-powered doorbells.

Original Review:
I used the Aqara G4 doorbell in battery mode for a little over a year, and I never had any major complaints. However, I decided to upgrade to the G410 due to the mmWave sensor. After using for a few days, here are my key takeaways:
1.) The doorbell seems to connect more quickly when opening from both HomeKit or Aqara's app. Aqara's native app has the best performance and video quality.
2.) HomeKit can use the mmWave sensor – you need to ensure you have this set up properly when first integrating the doorbell into HomeKit. The sensor can be used for automations, despite what I'm seeing others report online.
3.) The field of view is the first improvement I noticed, it looks much wider and taller than the old G4.
4.) The lack of HDR is disappointing, but not a deal breaker. My camera faces the sun but I haven't had any issues with exposure. Do I really need to see every detail in the clouds? No. But it would be nice.
5.) The "Tamper Protection" is a joke. It began going off when I inserted my batteries and tried hanging my doorbell back up, and it would NOT shut off. Tried going into the Aqara app, and it conveniently wouldn't connect to the doorbell. I had to furiously take the doorbell back off and rip out the batteries to get it to reboot.
6.) Just disable the linger notifications. By default, it's set to 0 seconds!? You can manually adjust this, but it's finicky at that.
7.) The ability for local storage is nice, but it's a shame you no longer receive Aqara's cloud storage for free, like you do on the G4. I just use an inexpensive micro SD card though, so I'm not too concerned (especially since I almost exclusively look at my footage through HomeKit, which is stored with my iCloud subscription).
8.) The old bracket is identical to this one, so I didn't even have to do a reinstallation! That's probably the best part about this doorbell for me personally.
9.) Finally, motion detection is significantly better than the G4 due to the mmWave sensor. I am seeing more recorded clips with brief motion near my door than before, which leads me to wonder how many recordings I missed with my old G4. There would be plenty of times I'd have packages delivered where my old doorbell wouldn't have a recording, but the G410 has picked all of them up so far.

Overall, I like the doorbell. It's one of the only viable options for battery-operated doorbells that also work with HomeKit Secure Video. As with any product, there are shortfalls that can be improved. I'm not a fan of Aqara removing features (HDR, cloud storage), but they also added new ones (wider field of view, mmWave, faster connection, integrated hub) while maintaining a similar price to what I paid for the G4. This new doorbell is typically discounted, but when I purchased mine, I received an additional 20% off, so it was a minor cost difference compared to the G4 (only about $20).
I'll continue to update this review if my opinions change from long-term use, as the doorbell has only been up for 3 days at this point.
