Best video doorbells in Canada: Ring and eufy compared

By the Amazon Picks Desk, Canada News Media. We research products from real Amazon.ca listings, specifications, owner reviews and expert reviews; we have not tested them ourselves.

The Ring Battery Doorbell 2K at $69.99 is the best-value video doorbell on Amazon.ca for most Canadian homes, but saving video needs a paid Ring Protect plan. To avoid a monthly fee, the eufy E340 at $229.99 and the eufy C31 at $139.99 both list no subscription.

Video doorbells compared

Ring Battery Doorbell 2K

This is the cheapest way into a Ring doorbell on Amazon.ca, at $69.99, shipped and sold by Amazon.ca. The listing says it records Retinal 2K video with a wide-angle view and up to 6x enhanced zoom, supports Live View and Two-Way Talk, and sends real-time motion alerts to your phone. The battery is built in and recharges over USB-C after you detach the doorbell with the included removal tool.

Owners rate it 4.0 out of 5 across 496 ratings, which is a short record next to the older Ring model. Ring’s own listing says scrolling back through recorded video and AI-powered alerts need a compatible Ring Protect subscription, sold separately. Skip it if you want recordings without paying monthly.

Ring Battery Doorbell

The previous-generation Ring Battery Doorbell costs $139.99 on Amazon.ca, shipped and sold by Amazon.ca, and has the longest owner record of any doorbell here: 3,164 ratings averaging 4.0. The listing says its Head-to-Toe Video gives 66 per cent more vertical coverage than the earlier version, so a parcel on the mat stays in frame. It has a built-in battery that charges over USB-C, plus Live View, Two-Way Talk and motion alerts.

The catch is value. It costs twice as much as the 2K model, and the listing says person and package alerts require a subscription, sold separately. Pick it only if the head-to-toe view matters more than the sharper picture, or if the 2K model is out of stock.

Ring Wired Doorbell 4K Pro

At $209.99, shipped and sold by Amazon.ca, this is the best-rated doorbell here at 4.4 out of 5, though on only 152 ratings. The listing says it records Retinal 4K video with up to 10x enhanced zoom, adds 3D Motion Detection for more exact alerts, and keeps colour in low light. It is wired, so it suits a home that already has doorbell wiring and a compatible chime setup.

Wired power avoids the cold-weather battery question, which matters in a Canadian winter. Skip it if your door has no wiring, since the battery models are easier to fit, and note that the Video Descriptions feature needs a compatible Ring Protect plan, according to the listing.

eufy Security Video Doorbell E340

The E340 costs $229.99 and is sold by AnkerDirect-CA, which is Anker’s own store for the eufy brand. The listing title says it has no monthly fee. Its two cameras work together: the front camera focuses on people, and the downward-facing camera shows the floor in front of the door, so a parcel left on the step stays in view. The listing also says it records 2K Full HD, offers colour night vision with a clear viewing distance of up to 16 feet, and runs on battery or wired power.

It has 4,553 ratings averaging 4.0, so the record is long but the score is middling. Wired mode still needs the battery installed, according to the listing, and it is not compatible with the original eufy Wi-Fi Chime. Skip it if you want the lowest price.

eufy Security Video Doorbell C31

The C31 is the cheapest fee-free option, at $139.99 from AnkerDirect-CA. The listing title describes 2K Full HD video, battery or wired power and no subscription. It is the simplest of the five on paper, with a single camera and none of the extras that lift the E340 to $229.99.

Its 3.9 rating on 1,003 ratings is the lowest here, so read the recent owner reviews before buying. Skip it if the 4.4-rated Ring 4K Pro or the dual-camera E340 fits your budget.

What a Ring subscription costs in Canada

Ring says its Ring Solo plan costs CA$5.99 a month or CA$59.99 a year plus taxes and covers one device, while Ring Multi costs CA$14.99 a month or CA$149.99 a year for all devices at one location. Ring lists up to 180 days of video playback and person, package and vehicle alerts on those plans. Over three years, the Solo yearly plan adds about $180 to a Ring doorbell, which is more than the $69.99 doorbell itself.

That is why the eufy models matter for buyers who want to avoid recurring fees. Both eufy listings say no monthly fee, though a no-fee doorbell does not offer the same cloud features, so check what is stored locally before you buy. Our guide to aosu cameras and subscriptions explains the same trade-off for another brand.

Battery or wired in a Canadian winter

Battery doorbells are easier to install, but batteries generally drain faster in the cold, so check the operating temperature range on the listing before you buy for a prairie or northern winter. A wired doorbell such as the Ring 4K Pro draws from your home’s doorbell wiring and avoids the problem, while the eufy E340 and C31 offer both modes. If your door has no wiring, choose a model with a spare or quick-release battery and a USB-C charging habit.

Who should skip these

These doorbells suit a house or townhouse with its own front door. Renters in apartment buildings should check their lease and building rules before drilling or mounting anything, and anyone worried about video of neighbours or the street should read Canada’s privacy guidance first. If you want a camera for the yard rather than the door, see our guide to the best home security cameras in Canada on Amazon.ca.

Which video doorbell is best for most Canadians? For most people the Ring Battery Doorbell 2K at $69.99 offers the lowest price and 2K video from a well-known brand. Budget for a Ring Protect plan if you want saved video, since Ring says the plans start at CA$5.99 a month.

Which video doorbell has no monthly fee? The eufy E340 and eufy C31 both say no monthly fee in their Amazon.ca listing titles. The C31 costs $139.99 and the E340 costs $229.99 as of Nov. 10, 2026.

Does a video doorbell work without Wi-Fi? No. These models connect to your home Wi-Fi to send alerts and live video to your phone, so the doorbell needs a signal at your front door. Ring and eufy both sell chimes for hearing alerts inside the house.

Is it better to buy a video doorbell on Black Friday? Prices on electronics often change around Black Friday on Nov. 27, 2026 and Boxing Day, but we cannot say which doorbells will drop. Check the current price on Amazon.ca before you buy.
