Eufy Video Doorbell S220 vs Ring Battery Doorbell 4K Pro

The Ring Battery Doorbell 4K Pro is the better overall pick, ahead on connectivity and alert variety with a sharper 4K sensor. The Eufy Video Doorbell S220 costs considerably less and uniquely records to a local HomeBase with no subscription fee.

Storage philosophy and connectivity. The Eufy Video Doorbell S220 saves footage locally to a eufy HomeBase at no monthly cost, while the Ring Battery Doorbell 4K Pro has no local storage at all and requires a Ring Protect subscription to save any clip. In exchange, the 4K Pro adds dual-band Wi-Fi and a sharper 4K sensor.

Only the Ring Battery Doorbell 4K Pro requires one to save video. It has no internal storage or microSD slot, so a Ring Protect plan is the only way to keep a clip. The Eufy Video Doorbell S220 records locally to its required eufy HomeBase with no monthly fee.

The Eufy Video Doorbell S220 publishes a clear figure: up to six months per charge. Ring does not publish a battery life figure for the Battery Doorbell 4K Pro, since it depends heavily on how much motion and live view the camera handles.

Buyers who already have, or plan to add, a eufy HomeBase, who want to avoid a monthly subscription for video storage, and who want a lower price with strong battery life.

Buyers who want the sharpest available image, dual-band Wi-Fi, and Ring's fuller alert set including vehicle and Familiar Faces detection, and who are comfortable paying for a Ring Protect subscription.
