The Google Nest Doorbell (wired, 3rd Gen) is the video doorbell that tells them apart best, and the stronger of these two overall. It detects people, packages, animals and vehicles, records 2K with HDR in a square 166 degree view, connects on 2.4 or 5 GHz Wi-Fi, works with SmartThings as well as Google Home, Alexa and Home Assistant, and owners review it more warmly. The Eufy Video Doorbell E340 is the one to buy if you will not pay monthly: it records 24/7 to 8GB of built-in storage, recognises familiar faces for free, adds a second camera for parcels, color night vision, quick replies and the option of battery power, and usually costs less. The Nest keeps only 6 hours of free event clips and charges for 24/7 history and familiar faces. Choose the Google Nest Doorbell (wired, 3rd Gen) for a Google home with wiring, and the Eufy Video Doorbell E340 to own your footage outright.

What owners say

Owners of both doorbells praise a sharp 2K picture and smart alerts that flag deliveries and people rather than every passing car, and both groups note there is no chime in the box. Google Nest Doorbell (wired, 3rd Gen) owners single out live view that loads almost instantly in the Google Home app, clear two-way audio, a quick install on existing wiring and finishes that match the door trim; they are surprised that 24/7 history and familiar faces are paid, and a few mention pauses in extreme cold. Eufy Video Doorbell E340 owners talk about the head-to-toe view that catches packages on the ground and recording locally with no fee; they complain about a clunky app, occasional false package alerts, a bulky body and 2.4 GHz-only Wi-Fi.
