2026 verdict
The far cheaper doorbell here is not the compromise: the EZVIZ CP4 wins this pairing on price, owner rating, warranty, integrations, storage and voice changing.
It is a peephole kit that records to a microSD card of up to 512 GB with no subscription, and it adds a 4.3-inch indoor touchscreen, a two-year warranty and Google Home and Home Assistant alongside Alexa. The Ring Wired Doorbell Pro (3rd Gen) is the sharper camera, with Retinal 4K video, colour night vision, radar-based 3D motion detection and a 140-by-140-degree head-to-toe view, but it is wired-only and saves nothing without a Ring plan. Pick the EZVIZ CP4 for a concealed, subscription-free peephole door, or the Ring Wired Doorbell Pro (3rd Gen) for the sharpest image Ring has put on a front door.

What the differences mean
Storage and subscription
The EZVIZ CP4 records events to a microSD card of up to 512 GB with no monthly fee. The Ring Wired Doorbell Pro (3rd Gen) has no local storage, so saved video and the person and package alerts need a Ring plan, and there is no memory card option.
Warranty
The EZVIZ CP4 carries a two-year warranty, against one year on the Ring Wired Doorbell Pro (3rd Gen). For a device that sits outside all year, that is one of the clearer points in the EZVIZ column.
Video and night vision
The Ring Wired Doorbell Pro (3rd Gen) shoots Retinal 4K with colour night vision and a 140-by-140-degree head-to-toe view, the best image of the pair. The EZVIZ CP4 is 1080p with black-and-white infrared night vision only.
Power and placement
The EZVIZ CP4 replaces an existing peephole and runs on a 4600 mAh battery, so it suits a rental or apartment door. The Ring Wired Doorbell Pro (3rd Gen) is hardwired only, needs doorbell wiring and often a stronger transformer.
Chime
The indoor touchscreen of the EZVIZ CP4 doubles as the chime. The Ring Wired Doorbell Pro (3rd Gen) ships without a chime and does not ring a mechanical indoor chime, so hearing it inside means a Ring Chime or an Alexa speaker.
Which one to buy if
- your door already has a peephole
The EZVIZ CP4 replaces the existing viewer and adds a screen inside with no drilling or wiring.
- you want local recording with no monthly fee
The EZVIZ CP4 stores events on a microSD card, while the Ring Wired Doorbell Pro (3rd Gen) keeps nothing without a plan.
- you have wiring and want the sharpest image
The Ring Wired Doorbell Pro (3rd Gen) shoots Retinal 4K, well above the 1080p of the EZVIZ CP4.
- you want the best night vision
The Ring Wired Doorbell Pro (3rd Gen) adds colour night vision when there is ambient light, where the EZVIZ CP4 is infrared only.
- you want to avoid a monthly plan
The EZVIZ CP4 records to microSD at no recurring cost, while saved video on the Ring Wired Doorbell Pro (3rd Gen) needs a Ring plan.

What owners say
EZVIZ CP4 owners describe a peephole kit that fits in minutes with no drilling, a screen inside that children and elderly parents can use, and subscription-free microSD recording; their warnings are battery life that can fall to about a week on a busy street and the fact that neither unit is waterproof. Ring Wired Doorbell Pro (3rd Gen) owners, most upgrading from an older Ring, call the Retinal 4K image and 10x zoom a real step up for reading parcels and badges, and they like the fast alerts and quick install on existing wiring, but a minority report dropped connections, missed or late events and trouble joining 5 GHz, and saved video and smart alerts need a Ring plan.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which is better overall: EZVIZ CP4 or Ring Wired Doorbell Pro (3rd Gen)?
The EZVIZ CP4, by the overall ranking, because it wins more of the compared rows: price, owner rating, warranty, integrations, storage and voice changing. The Ring Wired Doorbell Pro (3rd Gen) is the better camera and the best wired Ring doorbell, but its saved video and smart alerts sit behind a Ring plan.
What is the biggest difference between the EZVIZ CP4 and the Ring Wired Doorbell Pro (3rd Gen)?
The product and the storage model. The EZVIZ CP4 is a battery peephole kit with an indoor screen and free microSD recording, while the Ring Wired Doorbell Pro (3rd Gen) is a wired 4K camera with colour night vision and radar motion but no local storage and a subscription for saved video.
Does the Ring Wired Doorbell Pro (3rd Gen) record without a subscription?
No. Without a Ring plan you get live view and motion alerts, but video is not saved and person and package alerts are unavailable. There is no local storage and no memory card option.
Will the Ring Wired Doorbell Pro (3rd Gen) ring my existing indoor chime?
It does not ring a mechanical chime. To hear it inside you need a Ring Chime, sold separately, or a compatible Alexa speaker. The EZVIZ CP4, by contrast, includes its indoor touchscreen chime in the box.
Does the EZVIZ CP4 need an existing peephole?
Yes. It replaces a standard door viewer, so it only fits a door that already has one, on a leaf between 35 and 105 mm thick. The Ring Wired Doorbell Pro (3rd Gen) needs doorbell wiring instead.
Who should buy the EZVIZ CP4?
Apartment dwellers whose door already has a peephole, renters who cannot drill or wire, and anyone who wants a screen indoors plus subscription-free microSD recording.
