Chinese electronic security firm eufy has launched a smart home security package. The system includes a self-learning AI system that can learn and identify different people in the home, as well as distinguish pets and other objects. Data can be access from anywhere with the eufy Security app.

The new system includes HomeBase 3 data hub, two eufyCam 3 cameras with 4K resolution and solar power, free local storage, machine-learning AI with 99% accurate recognition and automatic analysis of video and events directly from the enhanced eufy Security mobile app.

The Edge Security System is managed by the new HomeBase 3, which leverages eufy Security’s proprietary BionicMind, an AI that can over time deliver 99% accuracy in recognising different people, as well as detecting pets and objects. It takes video data and automatically curates and catalogues it using HomeBase 3’s free local storage.

BionicMind’s facial recognition capabilities help users automatically capture and classify past video footage by family members, friends or other frequent visitors. HomeBase 3, BionicMind and the mobile app also work together to identify and instantly notify users of strangers or intruders who have been spotted near their home/property.

The HomeBase 3 uses edge computing technology which analyses user data in the device itself, not the cloud. This allows the homeowner to have control over who can access their video footage.

HomeBase 3 comes with 16GB of free, 256-bit encrypted local storage. The data hub can support up to 16 TB of additional memory using an external hard drive (not included in the Edge Security System) for up to 60 years of local video storage without the need to clear space.

At launch, HomeBase 3 will come bundled with two of the new eufyCam 3 security cameras. eufyCam 3 is designed with 4K ultra-HD resolution and includes night vision, two-way audio, built-in spotlight and a 13,400 mAh battery with an integrated solar panel for non-stop power.

eufy’s new Edge Security System will eventually be compatible with several other eufy Security devices including Video Smart Lock, Video Doorbell Dual and Floodlight Cam 2 Pro. A complete list of devices that are currently compatible with HomeBase 3 and other devices that will work with the data hub in the future can be found at eufy.com.

“When we launched our first eufyCam in 2018, which included free local, encrypted storage, we made a commitment to protect our customers’ homes, as well as their privacy,” said Frank Zhu, eufy Security General Manager. “Most current home security systems are digital video recorders triggered by motion, creating a constant stream of false alerts and massive amounts of wasted video data. Our new Edge Security System solves both issues while keeping our commitment to customer privacy and value intact. Our customers pay no subscription fees for storing or accessing their data.”
