It stores video on microSD with 7 days of free cloud, works with Apple Home, Google Home, Alexa, SmartThings and Home Assistant, and doubles as a Zigbee coordinator, Thread border router and Matter bridge, and it is the more affordable of the two. The Ring Battery Doorbell Pro is the better reviewed doorbell and the better night camera, with color night vision, radar-based 3D motion detection and a square 150 by 150 degree head-to-toe view, but saved video and its person and package alerts need a Ring subscription, and it speaks only to Alexa and Home Assistant. Both run on battery or wiring and connect on 2.4 or 5 GHz. Pick the Ring Battery Doorbell Pro for an Alexa home already on Ring, and the Aqara Doorbell Camera Hub G410 for the rest.

What the differences mean

Recordings without a plan

The Aqara Doorbell Camera Hub G410 records to microSD, around the clock if you want, and adds 7 days of free cloud. The Ring Battery Doorbell Pro has no local storage, so saved video and person and package alerts need a Ring plan.

Smart home platforms

The Aqara works with Apple Home, Google Home, Alexa, SmartThings and Home Assistant. The Ring works with Alexa and Home Assistant, leaving Apple and Google homes out.

Built-in hub

The Aqara Doorbell Camera Hub G410 is also a Zigbee coordinator, Thread border router and Matter bridge, so Aqara sensors can pair with the doorbell itself. The Ring has no hub function.

Night vision and motion detection

The Ring Battery Doorbell Pro adds color night vision and radar-based 3D motion detection with a bird's-eye view. The Aqara sees in black and white at night and detects motion to about 4 m.

Batteries

The Aqara takes six AA cells rated at about 5 months. The Ring uses a removable rechargeable pack that comes out without taking the doorbell down. Both can also run on doorbell wiring.

What owners say

Owners of both doorbells praise the speed and clarity of what they see, and both groups have a complaint about the battery compartment: Aqara Doorbell Camera Hub G410 owners find the panel awkward to open for a swap, Ring Battery Doorbell Pro owners a tiny security screw that is easy to lose. Aqara owners single out notifications within seconds, HomeKit Secure Video, free microSD storage and dual-band Wi-Fi, and they complain about a buggy app and face recognition, a firmware update that slowed HomeKit, and weak support. Ring owners single out 1536p video that stays clear in bright sun, radar motion detection that catches quick delivery drivers and loud two-way talk, and they complain about the Ring Protect plan, motion detection degrading on some units, a short bird's-eye range and weak 5 GHz.
