Eufy’s latest security package can track one person across multiple cameras

Sep 26, 2023 - theverge.com
Anker's smart home brand, Eufy, is introducing a new line of cameras with dual lenses for wide angle and telephoto zooming. The new line includes the SoloCam battery-powered outdoor camera, Floodlight Cam E340, Video Doorbell E340, and Indoor Cam S350. A standout feature is cross-camera tracking and video splicing, which allows multiple cameras to track motion and follow it, creating a spliced video of every event across each camera. This feature works with Eufy’s HomeBase 3, a hub for its cameras, which uses on-device AI to identify a person on each camera connected to it, splice all the videos together, and then send just one notification and one video.

The Eufy HomeBase 3 also adds AI-powered smart alerts to the cameras for free, including facial recognition and person, pet, and vehicle detection. It now comes with a 1TB hard drive and locally stored recordings are accessible for free with no subscription, with paid cloud storage also available. The new cross-camera tracking feature will be part of a free beta trial at launch, with a final version expected to be released in the fourth quarter of 2023. Pricing for the feature will be announced later this year and it is expected to be part of a subscription.
