TL;DR
Anker unveiled three new Eufy security products — the Video Doorbell S4, Smart Lock E40, and Solar Wall Light Cam S4 — with updated styling, higher-resolution cameras and AI-powered detection. All three are slated to ship in Q1 2026 and are compatible with major smart-home ecosystems.
What happened
At CES, Anker refreshed its Eufy security lineup with redesigned hardware and upgraded imaging and AI capabilities. The Video Doorbell S4 moves to a 3K (9MP) camera with a 180-degree panoramic view, on-device AI motion sensing and facial recognition; it supports battery or wired power and connects to Alexa, Google Assistant and Apple Home, priced at $249. The Smart Lock E40 adopts a more refined exterior and includes a 2K HD camera with wide-angle coverage, night vision and facial recognition; it runs on a 15,000mAh main battery with an 800mAh backup and supports Matter for cross-platform compatibility, listed at $299. The Solar Wall Light Cam S4 offers 4K night vision, an F1.6 adjustable lens with pan-and-tilt coverage, a detachable 2W solar panel charging a 10,000mAh battery (claimed up to two months per Anker), AI recognition for people, vehicles and animals, and integration with major smart-home assistants, priced at $199.99.
