Updated September 2026
Data from Amazon and official Eufy and Google sites.
2026 verdict
Between these two, the Google Nest Doorbell (wired, 3rd Gen) is the better video doorbell, with a higher owner rating and wins on connectivity, alerts, motion zones and custom ringtones.
It shoots sharp 2K HDR in a tall 1:1 head-to-toe view, runs on-device detection for people, packages, animals and vehicles, connects over dual-band 2.4/5GHz Wi-Fi, and slots into Google Home while also working with Alexa and Home Assistant. The Eufy Video Doorbell C31 (with Battery Pack) still appeals as the more affordable, no-hub option that records 2K locally to microSD or a Eufy HomeBase with zero monthly fees and adds automatic voice replies, plus a battery-or-wired install. Both drop HomeKit and Matter. Buy the Google Nest Doorbell (wired, 3rd Gen) for 2K HDR, smart alerts and custom ringtones in a Google home; the Eufy Video Doorbell C31 (with Battery Pack) wins on price and fully fee-free local storage.
