2026 verdict
Hardwired smarts or a eufy add-on? The Google Nest Doorbell (wired, 3rd Gen) is the better video doorbell of these two, with free alerts for people, packages, animals and vehicles.
It also records 2K with HDR over a 166 degree square view, joins 2.4 and 5 GHz Wi-Fi, keeps six hours of events for free and works with Google Home, Alexa, SmartThings and Home Assistant. The Eufy Video Doorbell S220 is the lower priced one and records 2K clips to a eufy HomeBase with no subscription, on battery or wiring, but it needs that HomeBase to work, detects only people and uses 2.4 GHz only. Choose the Google Nest Doorbell (wired, 3rd Gen) for a wired Google home, and the Eufy Video Doorbell S220 if you already own a HomeBase or need a battery.

What the differences mean
Power
The Eufy Video Doorbell S220 runs on a battery rated for about 6 months or on doorbell wiring. The Google Nest Doorbell (wired, 3rd Gen) is wired only, so it needs doorbell wires at the door.
Where video is kept
The Eufy keeps clips on a eufy HomeBase with no subscription, but will not work without one. The Nest keeps six hours of events free plus a one hour offline buffer, and continuous history needs Nest Aware.
Smart alerts
The Nest detects people, packages, animals and vehicles on the device for free. The Eufy detects people only, so parcels and cars show up as plain motion.
Platforms and Wi-Fi
The Nest works with Google Home, Alexa, SmartThings and Home Assistant and joins 5 GHz networks. The Eufy works with Google Home and Alexa on 2.4 GHz only.
Which one to buy if
- you already run eufy cameras on a HomeBase
The Eufy Video Doorbell S220 adds to that system and records to the base with no fee.
- there is no doorbell wiring at your door
The S220 runs on battery; the Nest is wired only.
- you want to know when a parcel arrives
The Google Nest Doorbell (wired, 3rd Gen) recognises packages for free; the S220 does not detect them.
- your home runs on Google Home and a Nest Hub
It is set up in the Google Home app and rings through to a Nest Hub.

What owners say
Owners of both doorbells praise sharp 2K video and quick installs, and both groups talk about what they pay after checkout. Google Nest Doorbell (wired, 3rd Gen) owners single out alerts that tell people from packages and vehicles, live view that loads almost instantly and having doorbell, thermostat and cameras in one app, while Ring switchers were surprised that 24/7 history and familiar faces need Nest Aware. A few report pauses in extreme cold and the need for strong Wi-Fi. Eufy Video Doorbell S220 owners lead with no fees and local storage, units still working after five years, near-flawless person detection and long battery life. Their warnings are the HomeBase it depends on, two-way audio that lags, occasional drops offline and a snooze button that needs two presses.
