It adds HDR 2K video, dual-band Wi-Fi and on-device alerts that tell people, animals and vehicles apart.

What the differences mean

Indoor or outdoor

The Eufy SoloCam S220 is rated IP67 and built for rain and sun. The Google Nest Cam Indoor (Wired, 3rd Gen) is not weather-resistant at all and stays indoors.

Power source

The Google Nest Cam Indoor (Wired, 3rd Gen) plugs into an outlet and has no battery. The Eufy SoloCam S220 runs wire-free on a battery that a built-in solar panel keeps topped up.

Resolution and HDR

Both shoot 2K, but only the Google Nest Cam Indoor (Wired, 3rd Gen) adds HDR, which helps in a room with a bright window or mixed lighting.

Smart alerts

The Google Nest Cam Indoor (Wired, 3rd Gen) tells people, animals and vehicles apart on its own. The Eufy SoloCam S220 detects people and motion by itself, and needs a HomeBase S380 added to reach the same pet and vehicle detection.

Recording without a subscription

The Eufy SoloCam S220 saves to its own 8GB indefinitely with no fee. The Google Nest Cam Indoor (Wired, 3rd Gen) only keeps a few free hours of events before a Google Home Premium plan is needed for more.

Which one to buy if

What owners say

Owners of both cameras praise how little setup takes, though for very different reasons. Google Nest Cam Indoor (Wired, 3rd Gen) owners highlight the sharp HDR image, the Gemini-powered alerts that tell a pet from a person, and animated previews that show what triggered a notification at a glance, while several call the Google Home Premium plan needed for round-the-clock recording expensive enough to feel like an extra camera a year. Eufy SoloCam S220 owners talk about never opening their wallet again thanks to free on-camera storage and a solar panel that keeps the battery topped up in a sunny spot, but mention charging it by cable through shaded or short winter days and tuning motion sensitivity to cut false alerts.

Price history compared

Every price change of both, in the same store, so the gap between the two lines is what one costs more than the other.
