2026 verdict
Longer clip history or smarter alerts? The Google Nest Doorbell (wired, 2nd Gen) takes this video doorbell comparison on price, platform support and free alerts.
It identifies people, packages, animals and vehicles on the device without a plan, works with Google Home, Alexa, SmartThings and Home Assistant and records HDR video in a tall 3:4 frame. The aosu Video Doorbell R1 Ultra fights back with sharper 5MP video over a 166 degree view, colour night vision, 60 days of loop recording to an included base that doubles as the chime, and battery or wired power. Choose the Google Nest Doorbell (wired, 2nd Gen) for a wired Google home, and the aosu Video Doorbell R1 Ultra for local storage without a subscription or a door with no wiring.

What owners say
Owners of both doorbells describe quick installs, but they value different things. aosu Video Doorbell R1 Ultra owners keep returning to local storage with no monthly fee, strong 5MP resolution and an install they call cleaner than Eufy or Lorex, with one owner nearly a year in and satisfied. Google Nest Doorbell (wired, 2nd Gen) owners single out alerts arriving in seconds, zones that cut false alerts and package alerts that also flag when a parcel is picked up. The complaints split the same way. aosu owners report battery life well short of the rating, one calls human detection poor, and some units arrived damaged. Nest owners find the wiring screws tiny, miss a chime in the box and note that 24/7 history and familiar faces need Nest Aware.
