Ugreen is expanding into AI-powered smart home surveillance (www.theverge.com)

Ugreen has announced its entry into the smart home market with the launch of the SynCare product line, featuring AI-powered surveillance cameras set to debut in the latter half of 2026. The lineup includes two indoor models (ID500 Pro and ID500 Plus), an outdoor camera (OD600 Pro), and a video doorbell (DB600 Pro). Notably, these devices will utilize advanced multimodal AI to enhance user experience through functionalities like person, pet, and event recognition. The indoor cameras boast 4K video capabilities with pan and tilt features, ensuring exceptional low-light performance and colorized night vision. This strategic move is significant as Ugreen, traditionally known for its power banks and chargers, aims to tap into the burgeoning smart home technology market. The outdoor camera includes features like weather resistance, optical zoom, and AI-driven zone monitoring, enhancing security by capturing footage when specific monitored areas are breached. Users can integrate all devices with a Smart Display D500 or access them through a mobile app, providing flexibility in monitoring. Ugreen's AI also promises to offer behavior analysis, potentially alerting users to unusual activities, which could revolutionize home security systems.
