Both of these record locally with no monthly fee, and TP-Link Tapo D210 is the better executed version of that idea, costing less, adding customisable motion zones, colour night vision from built-in spotlights, an indoor chime in the box and a documented six months of battery life, while recording 2K to a microSD card and handling person detection on the device. Eufy Video Doorbell C31 (with Battery Pack) matches it on 2K video, microSD or HomeBase storage, IP65 sealing and automatic replies, and pulls ahead on integrations by adding Home Assistant to Google Home and Alexa, plus a wired power option and 24/7 history. Its documented weak points are real: owners report battery life falling short of the claims with no low-battery warning, a chunky body, no chime in the box and no night vision modes listed. Buy Eufy Video Doorbell C31 (with Battery Pack) if you run a eufy HomeBase or need Home Assistant and wired power; buy TP-Link Tapo D210 for the cheaper, more complete package.
