Nest Doorbells dip to year’s cheapest prices in battery and wired versions

Google’s Nest Doorbell deals drop the battery-powered second-gen to $129.99 and the wired third-gen to $139.99 at Amazon, Best Buy, and the Google Store, the lowest prices this year. The battery model offers wire-free installation with 960p video, while the wired model delivers sharper 2K video and a wider 166-degree view; both support smart alerts for people, packages, and animals without a subscription. Google Home Premium adds features like 30 days of history, and the Premium Advanced plan adds 24/7 recording and more detailed notifications.

eufy S330 Doorbell Delivers Dual Cameras and Local Storage Without Subscriptions

During a busy remodel, the battery-powered eufy S330 impressed with a quick setup, a 2K front camera plus a 1080p package camera, and HomeBase 2 local storage that eliminates ongoing subscription fees. It offers AI motion detection, facial recognition for known visitors, and a delivery-guard feature, plus Alexa/Google Assistant support. Drawbacks include a small lag in live view and two-way audio, shorter battery life in high-traffic homes, and no Apple HomeKit support. Priced at $259.99, it’s a strong, subscription-free option for homes with frequent deliveries, though cheaper E340 and Ring alternatives exist.

"Security Alert: Popular $30 Video Doorbells Sold by Amazon and Walmart Vulnerable to Spying and Hijacking"

Consumer Reports found that $30 video doorbells sold under various brands on popular marketplaces have serious security issues, including lack of encryption that exposes users' home IP addresses and WiFi network names. These doorbells, linked to a user's phone via the Aiwit app, can be easily hijacked by creating an account and pressing the button to put it into pairing mode. Even if the original owner regains control, the hijacker can still access time-stamped images. The devices pose a threat to safety and privacy, potentially endangering individuals with stalkers or dangerous exes. Consumer Reports has notified online marketplaces, but some have not responded.
