What the differences mean
Apple Home
The Aqara Smart Video Doorbell G4 works in Apple Home with HomeKit Secure Video, and also with Google Home, Alexa and Home Assistant. The Eufy Video Doorbell S220 covers Alexa and Google Home, with no Apple Home support.
Battery
The Eufy runs on a built-in rechargeable pack rated at 6 months. The Aqara takes six AA cells rated at about 4 months, and owners say they drain much faster, so plan on rechargeable AAs or wiring it.
Video resolution
2K on the Eufy Video Doorbell S220 against 1080p on the Aqara, so the Eufy holds more detail when you zoom in on a visitor or a parcel.
Motion zones
The Eufy lets you draw motion zones to ignore the street; the Aqara Smart Video Doorbell G4 has no customizable motion zones, only privacy masking.
What else is needed
The Aqara stands alone, with its chime in the box and a microSD slot. The Eufy is the add-on version that owners describe pairing with a eufy HomeBase, which is worth budgeting for if you do not own one.
Which one to buy if
- your home runs on Apple Home
The Aqara Smart Video Doorbell G4 supports HomeKit Secure Video, and the Eufy does not work with Apple Home.
- you already own a eufy HomeBase and eufy cameras
The Eufy Video Doorbell S220 joins that system and records 2K without a fee.
- you never want to buy batteries
The Eufy's rechargeable pack is rated at 6 months, against AA cells that drain quickly on the Aqara.
- you want everything in one box
The Aqara includes its chime and records to a microSD card with no base station.

What owners say
Owners of both doorbells picked them to escape a monthly fee, and both groups say they own their footage. Aqara Smart Video Doorbell G4 owners single out setup straight from the Apple Home app, HomeKit Secure Video notifications and durability in extreme heat, while complaining that the six AA cells drain in weeks, detection weakens on battery, 2.4 GHz struggles through metal doors and masonry, it will not record to the card without internet and the software can be buggy. Eufy Video Doorbell S220 owners single out sharp 2K video, near-flawless person detection and units still running like new after five years, with a charge lasting months, and they complain that it needs a eufy HomeBase, that two-way audio lags, that it occasionally misses an event or drops offline and that the snooze button needs two presses.
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.
