Eufy, Anker’s smart home brand, has announced a new outdoor security solution with a stationary 4K wide-angle camera that can spot intruders and then trigger a pair of 2K cameras to pan, tilt, and zoom in to get a closer look at their faces, even when they’re up to 164 feet away.
Priced at $299, the new Eufycam S4 includes a 5.5W solar panel that can fully charge the camera with an hour of direct sunlight, but features like 24/7 continuous recording are only available while it’s connected to a permanent power source. The S4 uses a combination of radar and a passive infrared sensor to detect motion, while four LED spotlights facilitate color night vision. Its 32GB of storage can be upgraded to 256GB with a microSD card or further expanded to up to 16TB with Anker’s HomeBase S380 accessory.
Eufy also announced another accessory for its security cameras. Expected to launch in November, the AI Core uses an on-device AI model to quickly detect and classify more than 100 different behaviors and events from multiple live camera feeds in an attempt to predict what a subject might do. By eliminating the delays of analyzing footage in the cloud, the AI Core is supposed to provide faster alerts to users so they have more time to react to potential problems.
