The short answer

Eufy Security Video Doorbell E340 comes out ahead by a clear margin (4.0 vs 4.6). The gap is mostly about Subscription-averse buyers who want top-tier 2K video, on-device AI, and a porch-floor secondary camera without ever paying a monthly fee. — read the strengths below before deciding.

Ranked #6 in Best Video Doorbells

Aqara Smart Video Doorbell G4

4.0

4 sources2 derived$89.99as of Aug 1

For Apple HomeKit households after a battery-powered video doorbell with HomeKit Secure Video, the Aqara G4 is the only real candidate. Resolution isn't the highest here and the IPX3 rating is its weak point, yet at 119 dollars with full HomeKit integration and on-device face recognition nothing touches it for that buyer. Matter support is on the roadmap, pending the camera spec.

Strengths

— Only battery-powered doorbell with full HomeKit Secure Video support
— 162 degree wide-angle lens with 1080p HDR video at a 119 dollar price point
— Local face recognition runs on-device for HomeKit automations

Watch-outs

— Only 1080p resolution, behind the 2K class on most 2026 competitors
— 16:9 framing can cut off ground-level packages on shallow porches
— Six AA batteries deliver only about 4 months and need replacement rather than recharge

Higher ratedRanked #1 in Best Video Doorbells

Eufy Security Video Doorbell E340

4.6

4 sources1 derived$149.99as of Aug 1

Subscription-averse buyers who still want the best video quality should start with the Eufy E340. Its dual-camera setup earns its keep against porch piracy, 8 GB of onboard storage holds roughly 90 days of events, and the IP65 weather rating stands up to real conditions. The industrial design is the concession; day to day, nothing in the category offers more value.

Strengths

— Dual cameras give simultaneous head-to-toe view of visitors and the porch floor for package monitoring
— 8 GB of onboard storage records roughly 90 days of events with no subscription fee
— Color night vision with dual spotlight illuminates up to 16 feet

Watch-outs

— Larger and chunkier than competitors with a less refined industrial design
— Limited third-party ecosystem support beyond Alexa, Google Assistant, and HomeBase
— HomeBase 3 sold separately for whole-home camera storage expansion

How they stack up

Aqara Smart Video Doorbell G4

The only product in this roundup that ships with HomeKit Secure Video out of the box. Trades resolution to the Eufy Security Video Doorbell E340 and the Ring Battery Doorbell Plus, and the IPX3 rating is meaningfully weaker than the IP65 on the Arlo Essential Video Doorbell and the E340. Beats the Google Nest Doorbell Wired 2nd Gen on price, install flexibility, and HomeKit fit.

Eufy Security Video Doorbell E340

Beats both the Ring Battery Doorbell Plus and the Google Nest Doorbell Wired 2nd Gen on subscription cost because all storage is local, and matches the Aqara Smart Video Doorbell G4 on the no-fee story while exceeding it on resolution and weather rating. The Arlo Essential Video Doorbell offers higher raw pixel count but cannot match the E340's dual-camera package view.
