2026 verdict
Dual-band Wi-Fi and a fuller alerts lineup put the Ring Battery Doorbell Plus (2nd Gen) ahead of the Eufy Video Doorbell C31 (with Battery Pack) in this video doorbell comparison.
The Ring adds 5GHz Wi-Fi on top of 2.4GHz, customizable motion zones and subscription-gated people, package and familiar-face detection, all of which the Eufy Video Doorbell C31 (with Battery Pack) skips or only partly supports. The Eufy Video Doorbell C31 (with Battery Pack) still has real advantages: it costs less and records locally to a microSD card or a Eufy HomeBase without a monthly fee, while the Ring Battery Doorbell Plus (2nd Gen) requires a subscription for saved video, people and package alerts. Both run on a rechargeable battery pack that can be topped up with an optional hardwired connection to existing doorbell wiring. Choose the Ring Battery Doorbell Plus (2nd Gen) for the strongest connectivity and the deepest alert set; choose the Eufy Video Doorbell C31 (with Battery Pack) to keep costs down and skip subscriptions altogether.
