About eufy
Overview
eufy (stylized in lowercase as eufy) is a global smart home technology brand owned by Anker Innovations. Established in 2016, the brand focuses on creating consumer-friendly smart home devices that combine automation, artificial intelligence (AI), and privacy-focused design. Headquartered in Shenzhen, China, eufy has grown into one of Anker’s major product divisions, alongside brands such as Soundcore and Nebula.1
History
eufy was launched in 2016 by Anker Innovations as part of the company’s expansion beyond charging accessories into the rapidly growing smart home market. Anker itself was founded in 2011 by Steven Yang, a former Google software engineer.
Initially, eufy focused on affordable robotic vacuum cleaners and smart home appliances. Over time, the product portfolio expanded into home security systems, smart locks, baby monitors, health devices, and AI-powered home technologies. Today, eufy products are sold in North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and many other international markets through both online and retail channels.2
Brand Philosophy
eufy’s original slogan was:
“Smart Home Simplified.”
In recent years, the company has adopted a broader message centered around:
“AI-Powered Living, Built with Care.”
Its design philosophy emphasizes:
- Easy-to-use technology
- Local AI processing where possible
- Privacy-first smart home experiences
- Minimal maintenance
- Reliable automation
- Affordable premium features
The company aims to make smart home technology accessible without requiring complicated installation or expensive subscription services for many of its products.3

One of eufy’s best-known product lines. Features commonly include LiDAR navigation, AI obstacle avoidance, automatic room mapping, self-emptying stations, vacuum and mop combinations, app control, and voice assistant integration. Popular series include the RoboVac Series, Omni Series, X Series, S Series, and E Series.
Home Security
eufy Security has become one of the company’s largest business segments. Products include indoor cameras, outdoor cameras, video doorbells, floodlight cameras, smart locks, alarm systems, HomeBase local storage hubs, motion sensors, and entry sensors.
Many security products emphasize local storage, AI facial recognition, package detection, human detection, pet detection, vehicle detection, and cross-camera tracking. Unlike many competitors, several eufy security products can function without mandatory monthly cloud subscriptions.
Smart Door Locks
The eufy Smart Lock lineup includes fingerprint unlocking, PIN access, mobile app control, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, Apple Home compatibility (selected models), and auto-lock functionality.
Video Doorbells
Features often include 2K–4K video, HDR imaging, AI package detection, two-way audio, motion alerts, local storage via HomeBase, and battery-powered and wired options.
Smart Cameras
Camera lineup includes indoor cameras, outdoor cameras, solar-powered cameras, pan-and-tilt cameras, dual-lens cameras, and floodlight cameras. Features may include night vision, AI tracking, color night vision, privacy mode, and pet monitoring.
Baby Products
Recent expansion into baby care includes baby monitors, breast pumps, smart baby cameras, and temperature monitoring.
Health Devices
Selected markets offer smart scales, health monitoring devices, and wellness products.
Lawn Care
Newer AI-powered robotic lawn mowers automate lawn maintenance using advanced navigation systems.4
Software Ecosystem
eufy products are managed primarily through mobile applications, including:
- eufy Security
- eufy Clean
- eufy Life
These apps enable device setup, firmware updates, remote control, automation, notifications, AI settings, and multi-device management.
Artificial Intelligence
AI has become a major focus for the brand. Capabilities include facial recognition, human detection, vehicle detection, pet detection, package recognition, smart navigation, adaptive cleaning, and intelligent automation. Many AI features are processed locally on supported devices or HomeBase units, reducing dependence on cloud computing.5
Privacy
One of eufy’s key selling points is its emphasis on privacy. Common privacy features include local video storage, end-to-end encryption (on supported products), reduced cloud dependency, and user-controlled data storage.
However, the brand faced scrutiny in 2022 after researchers reported discrepancies between some privacy claims and product behavior involving security camera data. eufy acknowledged communication shortcomings and announced changes to improve transparency and security practices.6
Smart Home Compatibility
Many eufy devices support integration with major smart home ecosystems, including Amazon Alexa, Google Home, Apple Home (selected devices), and Matter (selected newer products). Compatibility varies by model.
Global Presence
eufy products are sold in the United States, Canada, United Kingdom, Germany, France, Australia, Japan, Singapore, Philippines, and many other international markets. Products are available through the official website and major online and retail partners.
