Aqara Smart Video Doorbell G4 vs Ring Battery Doorbell (2nd Gen)

Ring's ecosystem carries it: the Ring Battery Doorbell (2nd Gen) wins this video doorbell comparison on price, owner reception, alerts and customizable motion zones, and it records 2K video with color night vision, although people, package and familiar face alerts and video history need a Ring subscription. The Aqara Smart Video Doorbell G4 wins on integrations, storage and voice changing: it works with Apple Home and Google Home as well as Alexa and Home Assistant, records to a microSD card with 7 days of free cloud, keeps events offline and includes a chime, where Ring sells the chime separately. Both can run on battery or wiring and offer privacy zones, automatic replies and automations. Go with the Ring Battery Doorbell (2nd Gen) if you are in the Ring and Alexa world; go with the Aqara Smart Video Doorbell G4 for Apple Home and local storage.
