Eufy Video Doorbell S220 vs Ring Wired Doorbell 2K

The Eufy Video Doorbell S220 for most buyers, because it records 2K video locally with no subscription and offers free person detection. The Ring Wired Doorbell 2K is the better fit if you want a standalone wired doorbell on an Alexa household and do not mind a Ring plan for saved video and package alerts.

Where the video lives. The Eufy Video Doorbell S220 records locally to a eufy HomeBase with no fee, while the Ring Wired Doorbell 2K has no local storage and keeps clips only with a Ring subscription.

For anything you want to keep, yes. It has no microSD slot and no internal storage, so recorded video, person and package alerts and Familiar Faces require a Ring plan. Live View, two-way talk and real-time motion notifications work without one.

The Eufy Video Doorbell S220 works with Alexa and Google Home; the Ring Wired Doorbell 2K works with Alexa and Home Assistant, but not Google Home. Neither supports Apple HomeKit, SmartThings or Matter.

The Eufy Video Doorbell S220 can drive an existing doorbell chime when hardwired, sometimes needing the included wire extensions. The Ring Wired Doorbell 2K does not ring a mechanical chime, so you need a Ring Chime or an Echo speaker to hear callers indoors.

Existing eufy HomeBase owners and anyone who wants sharp 2K doorbell video recorded locally with no subscription, strong battery life and free person detection, and who does not mind using a hub.

Ring and Alexa households with doorbell wiring who want a cheap, standalone 2K doorbell with a head-to-toe view, privacy zones, Quick Replies and package alerts, and who accept a subscription for recordings.
