Eufy is one of my favorite choices for no-subscription home security cameras, so I was interested in what the brand would unveil for Anker Day on Thursday. One announcement caught my eye immediately: Eufy is releasing a new AI agent called Edge Agent that will exist locally on a new companion device called the Smart Security Shield.
Smart Security Shield is a sensor and camera with a 180-degree field of view and equipped with digital security key technology to prevent unauthorized access. It's primarily designed for outdoor use, where the onboard AI chipset uses facial recognition to identify friends and family from up to 100 feet away. Eufy says the device will work with multiple hardware and service bundles from the company.
Because EdgeAgent is entirely local, it doesn't need to exchange data with online servers. Eufy says that makes the AI processing 63% faster than competitors' cloud-based systems, cutting delays to only a few seconds.
