Eufy’s ExpertSecure E10 smart home security system pairs the company’s cameras with a base station and an assortment of sensors to help you monitor your home. It’s compatible with most of Eufy’s indoor and outdoor cameras, video doorbells, and smart locks, and it offers up to 16TB of local storage, AI-powered search and object detection, dual-band Wi-Fi, cellular backup, and battery backup. Professional monitoring isn't yet available but will be later this year.
