Local AI for precise threat detection
When it comes to smart home gadgets, Anker now has a whole range of products on offer with its eufy brand. For example, eufy not only scores with smart robot vacuums such as the eufy S1 (Review | € 799.00 *) or the eufy E20 (Review | € 549.00 *).
Surveillance cameras such as an eufy eufyCam S3 Pro (Review | € 649.00 (€ 324.50 / stück)*) or a Solar Wall Light Cam S120 (Review | € 79.99 *) are also part of the lineup. Anker has now presented a new system.
And this should score points above all with its smart AI features. The eufy S4 Max uses the Dragonwing IQ8 SoC to detect and categorize threats such as theft or vandalism locally. Depending on the level of threat, the system can send notifications or trigger alarms with sirens and light signals.
High-resolution dual camera units
Each S4 Max camera combines a fixed lens with a pan and tilt PTZ camera, both with 16 megapixels. This configuration enables comprehensive monitoring and tracking of people across multiple cameras.
PoE connection and system compatibility
The system uses Power over Ethernet (PoE) for a reliable power and data connection. It is compatible with various camera models, including E40 and E41, and can be expanded with additional cameras.
Conclusion
With the eufy S4 Max, Anker offers an advanced surveillance system that combines local AI processing with high image quality and flexible expandability. Prices start at 799 US dollars for a set of four E40 cameras; the S4 Max kit with four cameras is available for 1,299 euros. Information on availability in Germany is still pending.
