Eufy Unveils the ProSecure System, Merging the Smart Home Brand's First NVR-PoE Hardware with Fully Integrated On-device Local AI Capabilities
By GlobeNewswire Published on April 24, 2025, 04:00 IST Bellevue, Washington, April 23, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — eufy, a global leader in home security technology and smart appliances by Anker Innovations, today announced the upcoming availability of the ProSecure System, the brand's first NVR-PoE security solution powered by integrated large AI model technology known as the 'Private Local AI Agent.' The advanced on-device AI technology creates an instant response to movement and activity on the user's property. 'The ProSecure System is the latest example of our commitment to bringing the very best security equipment and services to our customers locally, rather than depending solely on cloud-based services. Our local AI solution helps optimize data control and there are no fees for users storing and accessing their video,' said Frank Zhu, General Manager of eufy. 'Eufy is setting the new standard for the most powerful combination of proactive AI emergency response and 24/7 home and property surveillance.' Vehicle Behavior Analysis The ProSecure system utilizes the Private Local AI agent to detect, analyze and respond to suspicious activity happening near the user's car or truck. Flagged behavior includes an intruder shining a flashlight inside a car in search of valuables left on the car seat, or a stranger pulling on a door handle to determine whether the vehicle is unlocked. Once the ProSecure system detects those types of suspicious actions, an automatic alert is sent to police to catch suspects before they can get away. Porch Pirate Protection The advanced AI integrated into the ProSecure system also provides proactive protection from porch pirates targeting deliveries to users' homes. The ProSecure system can quickly scan clothes, behavior and posture to separate the friendly courier dropping off a package from a porch pirate seeking to steal that same package. Once the suspected thief has picked up the delivery, an instant alert is sent to police to stop the theft as quickly as possible. Industry-first Tri-Cam NVR-PoE Cameras with 24/7 Recording Capabilities Tri-Cam Bullet/PTZ camera Bullet cam – 4K resolution PTZ cam – 2.5K resolution 360° pan and tilt flexibility to eliminate blind spots 8x digital Zoom (5x digital + 3x optical) with full clarity up to 65.6 feet (20 meters) away Seamless live cross-camera tracking to capture movement on multiple eufy cameras at the same time Network Video Recorder (NVR) includes 2 TB onboard memory — expandable up to 16 TB 24/7 NVR recording for up to 16 channels at a time AI-ISP Color Night Vision No monthly subscription fees to store or access video Expandable accessories including long-range video transmission up to 1.25 miles (2.01 km) Pricing and Availability The eufy Tri-Cam and NVR hardware (four cameras and one NVR) with the live cross camera tracking feature is currently available for pre-order on for $1,299. Full retail availability and timing of the NVR hardware will be announced at a later date. The advanced Private Local AI Agent capabilities will launch later this year to further enhance the power and accuracy of the NVR-PoE hardware.

Mayor's R173k monthly security bill sparks outcry in KwaDukuza
A leaked municipal invoice detailing a R173 068.61 monthly personal security cost for KwaDukuza mayor Ali Ngidi drew widespread community criticism earlier this week. The invoice, which included the cost of four Pro Secure security guards for 24-hour protection at the mayor's residence for March, ignited a fierce debate about municipal spending. Security costs have often been a controversial topic in council, where opposition councillors have long lobbied for specific line items to detail how the R4-million monthly spend is allocated, but have been blocked. The municipality's security tender was also flagged in the last auditor-general report. While confirming the mayor's invoice amount as accurate, KwaDukuza municipality (KDM) spokesperson Sifiso Zulu said the cost was within the municipality's prescribed tender processes. 'The security service is procured in accordance with the annual notice gazetted by the Minister for the Determination of Upper Limits of salaries, allowances and benefits for different members of a Municipal Council,' he said. 'The contract in which Pro Secure was appointed by KwaDukuza Municipality was done through a competitive bidding process. The tender was awarded in compliance with the municipality's Supply Chain Management Policy.' Pro Secure has been KDM's sole security provider for a few years and also endured some recent controversy when company owner Ferrell Govender was arrested in connection to an Umhlanga murder in January. 'Any legal challenges or criminal charges against the director of Pro Secure do not invalidate the contract entered into with Pro Secure and KwaDukuza municipality,' said Zulu. 'Contract law has its own requirements for the validity of a contract. The municipality confirms that at the time of the appointment, there was no adverse report in the data base of National Treasury in respect of Pro Secure.' As for the need for four full time security guards, Zulu said it was 'common cause' that numerous threats had been made against the mayor. 'Some of these issues are in the records of the local police station, and some are before court. It is also public knowledge that there are other councillors whose residences are protected by security personnel, due to threats that have been reported,' he said.
