Eufy Video Doorbell E340 vs Google Nest Doorbell (battery)

The Google Nest Doorbell (battery) is better overall and carries a higher rating, thanks to dual-band Wi-Fi, on-device people, package, animal and vehicle alerts and custom ringtones. The Eufy Video Doorbell E340 is cheaper and adds a second camera for packages plus free 8GB local storage and automatic replies.

Alerts versus local storage. The Google Nest Doorbell (battery) detects people, packages, animals and vehicles on-device without a subscription, while the Eufy Video Doorbell E340 records to 8GB of built-in storage with no fee and uses dual cameras for a head-to-toe view.

The approaches differ. The Eufy Video Doorbell E340 records locally to 8GB of built-in storage (or a Eufy HomeBase) with no fee, whereas the Google Nest Doorbell (battery) only keeps the past 3 hours free, so saving longer history and familiar-face alerts require a Nest Aware plan. Its smart alerts, however, work without one.

The Nest. The Google Nest Doorbell (battery) supports dual-band 2.4/5GHz Wi-Fi and adds both indoor and outdoor custom ringtones, which the Eufy Video Doorbell E340 lacks. The Eufy is 2.4GHz-only but answers with automatic replies.

Package-conscious, subscription-averse buyers who want the dual-camera head-to-toe view and free local recording, especially Eufy HomeBase owners in Google or Alexa homes. Just plan for the add-on chime and 2.4GHz-only Wi-Fi.

Google Home households that want accurate, subscription-free people, package, animal and vehicle alerts, dual-band Wi-Fi and a tall head-to-toe view, and who are willing to pay for Nest Aware to keep saved video.
