It records 2K through a 165 degree diagonal lens, stores 24/7 footage to a microSD card of up to 512 GB with NAS backup, and works natively with Apple HomeKit Secure Video, Google Home, Alexa, SmartThings and Home Assistant through RTSP and ONVIF. The Eufy Video Doorbell S220 answers with the lower price, the higher owner rating and a reputation for lasting years, and it is the one of the two that can run on battery for about six months a charge. It needs a eufy HomeBase to work at all, streams over 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi only, and works with Alexa and Google but not HomeKit or Matter. Pick the Aqara Doorbell Camera G400 (Wired) for a wired, subscription-free setup with the broadest platform reach, and the Eufy Video Doorbell S220 if you already own a eufy HomeBase and want a wire-free option that lasts.

What the differences mean

Power and install

The Aqara Doorbell Camera G400 (Wired) has no battery and must be wired, either over PoE or existing 8-24V doorbell wiring, and a suitable transformer is not included. The Eufy Video Doorbell S220 runs on a rechargeable battery for about six months a charge, with wiring optional.

Hub requirement

The Eufy Video Doorbell S220 is an add-on model that needs a eufy HomeBase before it works or stores anything. The Aqara Doorbell Camera G400 (Wired) is fully standalone, with no hub in the chain.

Smart home platforms

The Aqara Doorbell Camera G400 (Wired) spans Apple HomeKit Secure Video, Google Home, Alexa, Samsung SmartThings and Home Assistant, with RTSP and ONVIF. The Eufy Video Doorbell S220 works with Alexa and Google only, with no HomeKit, SmartThings or Matter.

Local storage

The Aqara Doorbell Camera G400 (Wired) records continuously to a microSD card of up to 512 GB and can back recordings up to a NAS. The Eufy Video Doorbell S220 stores event clips on its required HomeBase and has no card slot of its own.

Wi-Fi bands

The Aqara Doorbell Camera G400 (Wired) is dual-band Wi-Fi 6 and can also take Ethernet for PoE. The Eufy Video Doorbell S220 is 2.4 GHz only, which is fine for most homes but gives a high-traffic door less headroom.

What owners say

The two doorbells draw different owners. Aqara Doorbell Camera G400 (Wired) owners, many coming from Ring or Nest, praise how fast live view and recordings open in Apple Home, the head-to-toe 3:4 framing that catches parcels, and the RTSP feed they can record to a NAS; their complaints center on the bundled chime being too quiet to hear across a house, a fussy transformer, and cloud AI features sitting behind a plan. Eufy Video Doorbell S220 owners prize the subscription-free local storage above all, along with sharp day and night video, near-flawless person detection and units still running after five-plus years; they warn that it needs a HomeBase, that two-way audio lags noticeably, and that it can occasionally miss a motion event or drop offline.
