Anker has launched the Eufy MindBase, a local AI hub that processes security camera footage on-device without sending data to the cloud. The smart home hub runs Anker's proprietary language model and supports Matter connectivity.

The MindBase combines three functions: smart home hub, network-attached storage, and AI-powered security guard. It processes camera footage locally using an on-device Anker-developed large language model, keeping sensitive video data within your home network. The hub supports Matter, the open smart home standard backed by major tech companies, enabling seamless control of compatible devices. This approach addresses privacy concerns by eliminating cloud processing while maintaining advanced AI capabilities like video analysis and threat detection. Anker announced the MindBase alongside other security products at IFA 2024 in Berlin, including the TrackLight Cam S1. The company positions the MindBase as a solution for users seeking local processing power and enhanced privacy for smart home operations. Pricing and availability details were not disclosed in the announcement.
