Aqara Smart Video Doorbell G4 vs Eufy Security Video Doorbell E340

Which is the better buy? Side-by-side on rating, price, strengths, and watch-outs — with the published ratings we averaged to get there.

The short answer

Eufy Security Video Doorbell E340 comes out ahead by a narrow margin (4.3 vs 4.5). The gap is mostly about Subscription-averse buyers who want top-tier 2K video, on-device AI, and a porch-floor secondary camera without ever paying a monthly fee. — read the strengths below before deciding.

Aqara Smart Video Doorbell G4
Ranked #5 in Best Smart Doorbells
Aqara Smart Video Doorbell G4
$119

The Aqara G4 is the only meaningful pick for Apple HomeKit households that want a battery-powered video doorbell with HomeKit Secure Video. It is not the highest-resolution option here and the IPX3 rating is the weak point, but at 119 dollars with full HomeKit integration and on-device face recognition it is unbeatable for its target buyer. Matter support is on the roadmap pending the camera spec.

Strengths
  • — Only battery-powered doorbell with full HomeKit Secure Video support
  • — 162 degree wide-angle lens with 1080p HDR video at a 119 dollar price point
  • — Local face recognition runs on-device for HomeKit automations
Watch-outs
  • — Only 1080p resolution, behind the 2K class on most 2026 competitors
  • — 16:9 framing can cut off ground-level packages on shallow porches
  • — Six AA batteries deliver only about 4 months and need replacement rather than recharge

Eufy Security Video Doorbell E340
Higher ratedRanked #3 in Best Smart Doorbells
Eufy Security Video Doorbell E340
$149

The Eufy E340 is the obvious pick for subscription-averse buyers who want the best video quality without paying monthly fees. The dual-camera setup is genuinely useful for porch-piracy concerns, 8 GB of onboard storage holds about 90 days of events, and the IP65 weather rating handles real-world conditions. Industrial design is the trade-off but the day-to-day experience is the strongest value in the category.

Strengths
  • — Dual cameras give simultaneous head-to-toe view of visitors and the porch floor for package monitoring
  • — 8 GB of onboard storage records roughly 90 days of events with no subscription fee
  • — Color night vision with dual spotlight illuminates up to 16 feet
Watch-outs
  • — Larger and chunkier than competitors with a less refined industrial design
  • — Limited third-party ecosystem support beyond Alexa, Google Assistant, and HomeBase
  • — HomeBase 3 sold separately for whole-home camera storage expansion

How they stack up

Aqara Smart Video Doorbell G4

The only product in this roundup that ships with HomeKit Secure Video out of the box. Trades resolution to the Eufy Security Video Doorbell E340 and the Ring Battery Doorbell Plus, and the IPX3 rating is meaningfully weaker than the IP65 on the Arlo Essential Video Doorbell and the E340. Beats the Google Nest Doorbell Wired 2nd Gen on price, install flexibility, and HomeKit fit.

Eufy Security Video Doorbell E340

Beats both the Ring Battery Doorbell Plus and the Google Nest Doorbell Wired 2nd Gen on subscription cost because all storage is local, and matches the Aqara Smart Video Doorbell G4 on the no-fee story while exceeding it on resolution and weather rating. The Arlo Essential Video Doorbell offers higher raw pixel count but cannot match the E340's dual-camera package view.
