Having the storage embedded is more secure than using a removable SD card, which is easily swiped. Eufy claims the system is so secure that even the company doesn’t have access to your recordings. Eufy employs the same type of encryption as the US government does (AES 256, to be specific), and only the user and invited guests can access live video and recordings. The 4 GB of built-in memory is enough to store up to 30 days’ worth of recordings (based on 30 videos a day, each 30 seconds long your mileage may vary, but we think it’s a decent amount of storage).

The Eufy Security Video Doorbell 2K offers the option of local storage, or you can pay for Eufy Cloud (which provides 30 days of video storage for $3 per month per camera, or $30 per year). They can also opt to store videos locally if their camera has a built-in hard drive or, like many Eufy devices, has a slot for mini SD cards. When possible, they can enable end-to-end encryption in their device settings menu-devices that use HomeKit automatically have it enabled. Device owners who prefer to prevent their videos from being shared without prior permission have a few options. The companies listed above specifically note in their company policies that they may opt to share footage in those limited circumstances. The article notes that the federal Electronic Communications Privacy Act (ECPA) is a law that allows (but doesn’t mandate) that companies can disclose user data such as video or audio in emergency situations, such as when injury or death might occur, without obtaining user permission or a court order, if timeliness is a factor. Markey, which criticized Ring for giving police emergency access to user videos without user permission, Consumer Reports published an article claiming that several other major camera companies have the same policy in place, including Google Nest, SimpliSafe, Eufy, D-Link, and TP-Link.

(If you pay annually, you can save a few bucks, from $12 up to $24 for the top-tier plan.) So the operating costs are higher than for most doorbell cameras we tested. This comprehensive approach comes with an elevated price, however: A Nest Aware subscription, which is essential for video recording, costs $6 a month to capture motion events and store them for 30 days it costs $12 per month to store events for 60 days or to store 24/7 recording for 10 days.

For easy access, Google’s cloud service also automatically tags clips that include motion or people, using facial-recognition software to learn and identify over time who is coming and going. But it does so at 1600×1200 pixels, which is still crisp but a slightly lower resolution than that of our top two picks. Unlike most smart doorbells, it can record and store video in the cloud 24/7.

The Google Nest Doorbell (Wired) is the most advanced DIY smart doorbell camera we’ve tested. Compatible with: Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant, Samsung SmartThings
