Anker is building a smart home that does more than connect devices. At IFA 2026, the company announced MindBase, a hub designed to run smart home devices with AI, store memories, and act as a digital security guard.
That combination gives MindBase a bigger role than a standard smart home hub. It can evaluate events in real-time, assess risk, and respond when something happens, turning a collection of connected devices into a system that can react.
MindBase Brings Storage and Security Together
Anker’s MindBase combines a smart home hub, NAS, and security guard in one product. It includes a 64GB SSD and two bays that can hold either 2.5 or 3.5-inch hard drives, giving the device a place to store memories alongside the systems that help manage the home.
Anker is selling MindBase as a way to run your smart home, store memories, and monitor security. Its AI can evaluate events in real-time and assess the level of risk before choosing how to respond.
If MindBase detects a threat, it can change the lighting, issue a verbal warning, or use active deterrence. Those responses give the hub several ways to react, moving beyond passive alerts and into direct action inside the smart home.
The result is a product that connects three jobs: operating smart home devices, holding stored data, and responding to security events. Anker’s announcement places AI at the center of each role, with MindBase designed to bring these functions together.
Eufy Expands the Security Lineup
Anker’s Eufy brand showcased several new security products at IFA 2026, starting with the Eufy NVR Security System E50. The multi-camera system uses a hybrid 2K fixed bullet and 4K PTZ dual-lens design, combining two camera approaches in one security system.
The E50 is available now in the US, Canada, and Australia. The four-camera kit starts at $999, while the eight-camera option starts at $1,599, giving customers two system sizes to choose from.
The Eufy Video Doorbell S4 adds a 9 MP resolution and a 180-degree field of view. It will be available in many markets later in September, with a starting cost of $299.
For another view of the home, the Eufy Window Camera E10 offers 24/7 recording, 2.5K resolution, and F1.0 color night vision. It retails for $70 and will be available later in 2026. The camera also has a 25-degree adjustable tilt.
Eufy is also addressing fall detection without requiring cameras or wearables. The Eufy Fall Detection Sensor uses mmWave for radar-based fall detection and includes two-way talk, creating a separate security product built around sensing and communication.
Robots Bring AI Beyond the Front Door
The new Eufy products extend beyond security cameras and sensors. The Eufy Robot Vacuum Omni E35 has received the Maternal and Infant Cleaning Robot mark from Tüv and Asthma & Allergy Friendly certification, pairing those certifications with cleaning features designed for dust and indoor surfaces.
The Omni E35 can sterilize and remove dust mites, while its multi-cyclone filtration system helps manage dust during cleaning. It also includes a self-cleaning roller mop, giving the robot several cleaning functions in one device.
The Eufy Robot Vacuum Omni E35 will be available in the EU and UK on September 4. Pre-ordering in the US will start the same day, followed by a US launch on September 25. Early bird pricing will be $900, compared with a usual cost of $1100.
Outside the home, the Eufy Robot Lawn Mower S2 Max can map and mow about 3.7 acres. It offers up to 48 TOPS for decision making and can handle terrain with a slope of up to 38 degrees.
The S2 Max will be available in Europe in May 2027. Its arrival gives Eufy a robot designed for large outdoor spaces, while the Omni E35 targets indoor cleaning and MindBase coordinates smart home devices and security responses.
Together, the IFA 2026 announcements show Anker building a connected lineup around AI, storage, security, and robotics. MindBase is the clearest expression of that plan: a hub that can run devices, preserve memories, evaluate threats, and respond when the home needs action.
