Anker introduced some more Eufy Security items during CES

At CES, Anker introduced a number of new items. We covered their new WFH camera setup last week, and today, we’re talking about their latest security items. Just as we’ve seen in prior reviews and articles (see those here), those come out under their home automation brand, Eufy.

I’ve been a fan of the Eufy wireless doorbell (review) since I installed it on our house. For one, it gave us a doorbell where we had none before, without needing to run wires. Secondly, it gives me a video view of the front of our home. For this newest version – the eufy Security Video Doorbell Dual – there’s actually a second camera built-in. Why is that? Simply put, it’s to keep an eye on packages left on your porch. You’ve got the main front-facing camera looking for people, and the second camera at a 45-degree angle, keeping an eye on what is left on your porch. It won’t stop a porch pirate, but it’ll certainly give you recordings to help identify who grabbed your shipment of toilet paper. It’s expected to launch February 8th and run $259.99 (presumably for one with the Homebase 2; we guess an add-on doorbell will be less expensive)

Next, we’ve got the eufy Security Garage-Control Cam/ Plus. Sure, you’ve put smarts on your door locks and put cameras up, but what about your garage door? With this particular device, you get a sensor that can tell you if the door is open or closed and a camera that will keep an eye on the contents of the garage. Not only that, you can open/close the garage door from your phone, or even when you trip over a geofencing boundary. No details just as of yet as to how it wires in (hopefully just a supplement to your existing remote clicker controller and not a replacement), but it seems like a tidy upgrade for the garage. The base version is going to run $99, while the Plus version that can control two garage doors will be $129. This should be available in March 2022.

Finally, we’ve got the eufy Floodlight Cam 2 Pro, which is currently available at $299. While pricey, this is a solid combination of functionality. If you’ve got a part of your yard that you’re wanting to keep an eye on, odds are you also want to be able to shine a bunch of light. While their other cameras pack in small LED lights, this one has a number of improvements that may suggest it. First off, you’ve got a camera that can rotate 360 degrees, allowing it to track over a large swath of land. Secondly, you’ve got three large LED panels that can be adjusted to light up where you need it (and even tune the hue of the lights). In our book, perfect for mounting at the corner of your house, or perhaps on a garage that’s set further back in the yard.

And with that, we’ll close out this quick roundup of the newest Eufy security releases. I’m personally a fan of their ecosystem, as it keeps all of your recordings stored locally, giving you the control over what to do with them (and if you want, you can get a subscription to add in cloud storage).
