It supports Apple Home as well as Google Home, Alexa, SmartThings and Home Assistant, records to a microSD card inside its indoor chime with seven days of free cloud clips, runs on wiring or six AA cells, and doubles as a Zigbee coordinator, Thread border router and Matter bridge. The Google Nest Doorbell (wired, 3rd Gen) is the better reviewed of the two and wins on smart alerts, telling people, packages, animals and vehicles apart on the device, with 2K HDR video over a 166 degree diagonal view, though 24/7 history and familiar faces need Nest Aware.

What the differences mean

Smart alerts

The Google Nest Doorbell (wired, 3rd Gen) recognises people, packages, animals and vehicles on the device for free, with familiar faces behind Nest Aware. The Aqara Doorbell Camera Hub G410 detects people and familiar faces at no cost but has no package, animal or vehicle alerts.

Free storage

The Aqara Doorbell Camera Hub G410 records to a microSD card of up to 512 GB plus seven days of free cloud clips. The Google Nest Doorbell (wired, 3rd Gen) keeps six hours of event clips and a one hour offline buffer, and 24/7 history needs Nest Aware.

Apple Home

The Aqara Doorbell Camera Hub G410 works with Apple Home and HomeKit Secure Video. The Google Nest Doorbell (wired, 3rd Gen) does not; both work with Google Home, Alexa, SmartThings and Home Assistant.

Power and outages

The Aqara Doorbell Camera Hub G410 runs wired or on six AA batteries, and keeps recording when the power fails. The Google Nest Doorbell (wired, 3rd Gen) is wired only and stops with the power.

Built-in hub

The Aqara Doorbell Camera Hub G410 is a Zigbee coordinator, Thread border router and Matter bridge, so it can replace a separate hub for Aqara sensors. The Nest doorbell has none of those roles.

Picture

Both record 2K with black and white night vision. The Google Nest Doorbell (wired, 3rd Gen) adds HDR in a square 166 degree diagonal frame for a head-to-toe view, while the Aqara Doorbell Camera Hub G410 covers a wide 175 degrees horizontally without HDR.

What owners say

Owners of both praise image quality and a quick install on existing doorbell wiring. Aqara Doorbell Camera Hub G410 owners single out how fast notifications and video arrive in Apple Home, free local storage, dual-band Wi-Fi and the built-in Matter hub, and they complain about the software: face recognition that broke alerts until a reset, a firmware update that slowed HomeKit, a panel awkward to open for battery swaps and weak support. Google Nest Doorbell (wired, 3rd Gen) owners praise 2K video sharp enough to read package labels, smart alerts that separate people, packages and vehicles and a Live View that opens almost instantly, while their complaints are about Nest Aware behind 24/7 history, no chime in the box and brief pauses in extreme cold.
