Best known for batteries and chargers, Anker is launching a local AI hub for the home that supports Matter, controls cameras and video doorbells, and includes file sharing. Following a revision of its lineup in January 2026, Anker has now announced a further series of cameras and sensors, plus the Anker MindBase smart home hub to control them all. It's the company's first home hub and is the most significant of its more than 20 new product launches at the IFA show in Germany.

The MindBase hub is Matter-enabled and so can bring together smart home devices from multiple manufacturers under one system. It comes with a 64GB SSD plus two bays that the company says can provide up to 48TB of network attached storage. Anker claims that MindBase has what it calls a True Smart Agent that uses AI to evaluate security risks. A remote sensor can use radar and report movement to the agent, which could then determine whether to record security footage, or notify the user.

These security features require the MindBase Security Kit which includes a Smart Security Shield sensor, plus a new Track Light Cam S1 and video doorbell. Anker has not revealed pricing or availability for the MindBase or the MindBase Security Kit. While existing Eufy-branded Anker cameras should work with the new MindBase, the company has also launched several new options including the Eufy Video Doorbell S4 at $300 and the NVR Security System E50 at $999.
