MindBase is Anker's bid to make on-device AI the center of the smart home, and the announcement also ends the Eufy and Soundcore sub-brands.
Reporting from 1 source: GIGAZINE.
Anker announced MindBase at IFA Berlin 2026, a smart home hub built around local AI. It ships with 64GB of storage expandable to 48TB, evaluates security camera events on the device, and connects up to 16 wireless cameras, 4 wired cameras, and 34 sensors. It supports Matter 1.5 and works with Apple HomeKit, Amazon Alexa, Google Home, and Home Assistant. Anker also said it will retire the Eufy and Soundcore sub-brands. Price and release date are unannounced.
MindBase arrives with a change to Anker's lineup: the Eufy and Soundcore sub-brands are being retired, with everything folding into the Anker name. The hub runs its AI locally rather than in the cloud, which Anker says reduces privacy concerns. It identifies family and friends through digital credentials stored on their smartphones to cut down on unwanted alerts, and it can respond to camera events with lighting changes, verbal warnings, and a measure called active deterrence, the details of which have not been published.
The new Smart Security Shield sensor carries a 180-degree dual radar. MindBase also works with about 100 existing Anker products and functions as a NAS, searching stored photos, videos, and files with natural language.
