Anker's Eufy brand has launched the Window Camera E10, a security camera that sticks to the inside of a window via adhesive rather than being mounted outdoors. It offers 2.5k resolution, up to 8x digital zoom, a 25-degree adjustable tilt, MaxColor night vision, and 24/7 recording to a user-supplied SD card of up to 256GB. It was first announced at IFA this summer and now ships in the US.
Eufy has started its Black Friday promotions ahead of schedule, cutting prices on robot vacuums, security cameras, video doorbells and outdoor lighting. Several items carry additional savings through exclusive CNET promo codes, including the Omni S2 robot vacuum at $1,280 (down from $1,680), the SoloCam S340 two-camera kit at $200 (down from $440), the Omni C28 vacuum at $430 (down from $800), and a EufyCam S4 four-camera kit with HomeBase at $1,200 (down from $1,900).
Eufy's SoloCam S340 wire-free outdoor security camera is currently discounted by $60 on Amazon. The device features a dual-lens design combining a 3K wide-angle view with a telephoto lens, 360-degree pan and tilt, up to 8x hybrid zoom, and person and vehicle tracking, along with two-way talk, spotlight and night vision, and motion alerts accessible through its app.
Eufy is offering an $80 discount on its Security Wall Light Cam S4, a solar-powered device that combines a motion-activated outdoor light with a swiveling 4K security camera. The camera stores footage locally on 32GB of built-in storage, requires no subscription, and includes on-device AI that can distinguish between people, vehicles, and pets.
A security research team documented their process of dumping and analyzing firmware (version 3.4.2.2h) from the Eufy HomeBase 2 device, following up on earlier work examining a Eufy doorbell. Because the HomeBase's flash chip was soldered directly to the board with no exposed test pins, the researchers used spring clips and a Raspberry Pi to physically read the Winbond flash memory chip.
The Eufy Omni E35 is a premium robot vacuum that combines automated mopping and sweeping with improved object detection. A hands-on review calls it the strongest luxury-tier robovac the reviewer has tested so far, citing its ability to navigate around obstacles without the frustrations common to similar high-end models.
Retailers are discounting smart home products for Prime Day 2026, including Eufy outdoor security cameras with local hub storage, on-device AI detection, and solar charging, and Amazon's Echo Spot and Echo Show 11 smart speakers and displays. The Eufy cameras support up to 4K resolution and face recognition without requiring a subscription, though AI accuracy and frame rate remain limited.
WIRED updated its annual robot vacuum roundup for 2026, testing new models from Shark, Eufy, Roborock and other brands across a multi-story home with kids and pets. The update also notes a new FCC ban that will affect future robot vacuum designs and features going forward.
Roborock has revived its long-dormant Qrevo line with the Qrevo 2 Pro, launched at the end of August after a Qrevo Curv refresh earlier this year. The sub-$1,000 robot vacuum pairs a 20,000 Pa motor and LiDAR navigation with a FlexiArm mop and reversible side brush designed to reach corners and edges other robots miss. A WIRED reviewer who tested it for two weeks called it one of the best budget options available, rivaling the Eufy Omni C28, though it still struggles to detect small clutter like cords or toys.
At IFA Berlin 2026, companies like Anker (Eufy Omni E35) and Ecovacs (Deebot X12S Omnicyclone) showcased robot vacuums specifically certified to remove dust mites and allergens, with third-party testing backing their claims. Overall, the show felt quieter than previous years, with fewer wild concept reveals and more focus on refining existing product lines like the Saros Rover and Dreame Cyber X.
Ugreen unveiled a lineup of smart home hubs built around on-device AI processing, topped by the MasterAgent MA100, which runs on Nvidia's Jetson Thor platform with 128GB of unified memory and delivers up to 2,070 TOPS of performance. The flagship carries a $20,000 list price, though early buyers can get it at half off, while the entire hub lineup supports ONVIF and Matter devices with Zigbee and Thread support planned, and includes NAS-style storage bays requiring user-supplied SATA drives.
At IFA 2026, Anker introduced the Eufy Robot Lawn Mower S2 Max, which uses camera-based vSLAM navigation and an extendable arm to trim edges around driveways and flowerbeds without wire boundaries. Mammotion also announced its Luba 4 AWD, which relies on cameras, LiDAR, and RTK positioning plus an edge-cutting attachment to mow along walls and fences.
