Anker Launches Eufy Security Cam With Auto-Tracking Light

Anker has introduced the Eufy TrackLight Cam S1, which claims to be the world's first outdoor security camera equipped with an auto-tracking light to deter potential intruders. This innovative camera is compatible with Apple Home when used with the Anker HomeBase, allowing users to integrate it into a HomeKit setup alongside other smart devices.

Upon detecting an unfamiliar individual, the camera locks onto the target and follows them with a light extending up to 12 meters (40 feet). The light's intensity adjusts according to distance, becoming more concentrated as the target approaches. The camera boasts 355 degrees of horizontal rotation and can track movement at a rate of up to 87 degrees per second.

An optional tracking deterrence mode simultaneously activates the light and a 105-decibel siren, while a red and blue flashing light mode serves as an additional deterrent. The camera captures footage in 4K with 10x digital zoom and includes night vision capabilities for clear visibility in low-light conditions. A 120-degree floodlight complements the TrackLight, and dual radars provide 180-degree detection up to 40 feet.

The Anker Home App enables users to create a Family List, which identifies known individuals by their Bluetooth signals, prompting a softer, more welcoming light when they approach. The camera operates independently with a 15,000mAh battery and a 5.5-watt solar panel, and it boasts IP65 dust and water resistance. Users must provide a microSD card or connect to the HomeBase for storage, and no subscription is necessary.

Anker has also recently launched its Window Camera E10, a 2.5K resolution camera with anti-reflection capabilities and 25 degrees of tilt, designed to be placed in a window to monitor a yard, driveway, or entryway without the need for outdoor installation. The TrackLight Cam S1 and Window Camera E10 are available for purchase from Anker or Amazon.com, with prices starting at $300 and $80 respectively, and a bundle with the HomeBase priced at $500.
