EZVIZ CP4 vs Google Nest Doorbell (wired, 2nd Gen)

The Google Nest Doorbell (wired, 2nd Gen) is better overall, with dual-band Wi-Fi, HDR, on-device people/package/animal/vehicle alerts, motion zones and custom ringtones. The EZVIZ CP4 is the cheaper, better-reviewed peephole doorbell with local microSD storage.

Not for the core detections. The Google Nest Doorbell (wired, 2nd Gen) sorts people, packages, animals and vehicles on the device. Familiar Faces and longer cloud history need a plan, and only the past 3 hours of events are free. The EZVIZ CP4 detects motion and human shapes and stores those events on a microSD card.

Only the EZVIZ CP4. It uses a 4600 mAh rechargeable pack and has no wired option. The Google Nest Doorbell (wired, 2nd Gen) is wired-only, so a power cut stops it.

Google Home households with existing doorbell wiring who want HDR video, on-device package and vehicle alerts, dual-band Wi-Fi and no battery to recharge.

Renters and apartment owners who cannot wire a doorbell, already have a peephole, and want an indoor 4.3-inch screen plus fee-free local recording.
