It keeps 7 days of cloud clips for free, supports HomeKit Secure Video, runs on wiring or six AA cells, and adds a chime, voice changing and free face recognition. The Ring Wired Doorbell Pro (3rd Gen) is far ahead on the camera, with 4K video, colour night vision, a square 140 by 140 degree view, custom motion zones and 5 GHz Wi-Fi, but it needs a Ring plan to save video or send person and package alerts, and it works with Alexa and Home Assistant only. Choose the Aqara Smart Video Doorbell G4 for Apple Home or a doorbell without monthly fees, and the Ring Wired Doorbell Pro (3rd Gen) for the sharpest wired image in an Alexa home.

What the differences mean

Subscription

The Aqara Smart Video Doorbell G4 records to microSD and includes 7 days of cloud clips at no cost. The Ring Wired Doorbell Pro (3rd Gen) has no local storage, so saved video and person and package alerts need a Ring plan.

Platforms

The Aqara Smart Video Doorbell G4 works with Apple Home (with HomeKit Secure Video), Google Home, Alexa and Home Assistant. The Ring Wired Doorbell Pro (3rd Gen) works with Alexa and Home Assistant only.

Camera

The Ring Wired Doorbell Pro (3rd Gen) records 4K with colour night vision in a square 140 by 140 degree view. The Aqara Smart Video Doorbell G4 records 1080p across 162 degrees and is black and white at night.

Power and Wi-Fi

The Ring Wired Doorbell Pro (3rd Gen) is wired-only and dual-band. The Aqara Smart Video Doorbell G4 runs on wiring or six AA cells and is 2.4 GHz only, which its owners find weak through metal doors.

Which one to buy if

What owners say

Aqara Smart Video Doorbell G4 owners, many of them coming from Logitech, Wemo, Arlo and Eufy doorbells, praise how easily it installs, often straight from the Apple Home app, and name HomeKit Secure Video with real-time notifications as the reason they bought it. They rate the 1080p image sharp day and night, like the loud chime and the free microSD and cloud storage, and report it surviving extreme heat. Their warnings are consistent: on its six AA cells it drains in weeks and motion detection weakens, so wiring is strongly recommended; 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi struggles through metal doors and masonry; it will not record to microSD without internet; data still goes to Aqara; and night vision is black and white.
