Anker today announced the launch of Anker MindBase, an AI home hub meant to work with almost 100 Anker devices and Matter-enabled smart home devices from other companies. It works alongside HomeKit, and is equipped with an AI Core compute card and the on-device Anker TrueSmart AI Agent.
In addition to working as a smart home hub, the MindBase supports up to 48TB of local storage, and it functions as a NAS. It can be used for storing files, photos, and videos locally. MindBase integrates with Anker security cameras, and Anker plans to sell a MindBase Security Kit that includes a new TrackLight Cam S1, S4 Video Doorbell, and Smart Security Shield sensor.
Anker says on-device AI evaluates events in real time to assess risk and respond through observation, lighting, verbal warnings, or active deterrence. The sensor can be placed at the edge of a property, using radar to detect strangers from up to 15 meters away.
Anker is also debuting several new home security products.
Eufy Video Doorbell S4 - The Video Doorbell S4 is a wired doorbell and security camera combo. It has a 9-megapixel lens with 3K resolution and a 180-degree field of view.
Eufy Window Camera E10 - The E10 is a camera that mounts on the inside of a window for use in rentals. It has a 25-degree adjustable tilt with anti-glare optics, and it records in 2.5K resolution.
Eufy Fall Detection Sensor - The Fall Detection Sensor is a non-wearable sensor that uses mmWave radar sensing to detect falls without using a camera. It can be mounted on the wall and supports two-way communication.
Eufy NVR Security System E50 - The E50 pairs an 8-channel network video recorder with four hybrid bullet pan-tilt-zoom dual-lens camera. There's a 2K resolution wide-angle bullet lens and a motorized 4K resolution PTZ lens.

The Window Camera E10 will be available later this year for $70. Availability and pricing have not yet been announced for the MindBase and Fall Detection Sensor.
