2026 verdict
HomeKit on a doorbell still has a short list, and Aqara Smart Video Doorbell G4 is the overall video doorbell winner here on price and integrations against the EZVIZ EP4.
It brings Apple HomeKit Secure Video, Alexa, Google Home and Home Assistant, a wired-or-battery install, an included 95 dB chime and free microSD plus 7 days of cloud. The EZVIZ EP4 keeps the higher owner rating and a 2-year warranty, with a 5.5-inch indoor screen, 4K-class peephole video and on-device face recognition, but it has no HomeKit and no 5 GHz Wi-Fi. Pick the Aqara Smart Video Doorbell G4 for Apple Home and a conventional doorbell body; pick the EZVIZ EP4 for a peephole screen and the longer warranty.
