To learn more, Gaspar Xie, the GM of Anker in Australia, answered a range of questions, so please read on!
In early October 2023, I attended the 2023 launch of Eufy’s new dual-cam security camera range, its new Eufy robotic vacuum cleaner, and its new Eufy baby range, which also included a clever wearable smart sock so you can effortlessly keep track of your baby’s vital statistics, with the My Eufy site here.
That launch video is in this article, and is also embedded immediately below, after which you’ll be able to see the questions I asked the Anker Innovations General Manager in Australia, Gaspar Xie – so please watch, and read on!
- Can you please recap the eufy story for us, and what makes eufy different?
eufy Australia, a proud member of Anker Innovations, is devoted to creating user-friendly smart home devices that integrate seamlessly into daily life.
eufy entered Australia in 2019, and has carved a niche in offering state-of-the-art products across security, cleaning, and baby solutions. We ensure that our products are built with utmost care to suit our users’ needs hassle-free.
Care is integrated into everything we do, and that’s how we help create the perfect product experience
- It was a really great presentation this evening, and it wasn’t just the security cameras eufy is traditionally known for, but cleaning and even baby solutions, so can you please tell us, what was launched tonight?
Thank you! We unveiled a diverse range of products. In the security category, we introduced a new generation of dual camera home security products such as S350 Indoor Cam, E340 Floodlight, the E340 Dual Cam Solo Video Doorbell, and the S340 Solocam.
In cleaning, we launched the X8 Pro SES RoboVac, a sophisticated vacuum designed for enhanced cleaning, especially in homes with pets.
And in our baby range, we proudly presented the Wi-Fi Baby Monitor, the advanced Smart Sock, and other baby care solutions to ensure 24/7 peace of mind for parents and caregivers.
- When will these products be available to purchase, and where Australians can buy them?
Please find them through our esteemed retail partners such as JB Hi-Fi and Harvey Norman. Kindly note that the baby products are only available at JB Hi-Fi. Stay tuned for more retail partners. We are also working on expanding our retail presence later this year.
- Is there something specific you’d like me to ask?
It would be great if you could ask about the feedback and reviews from our early adopters. It’s essential for us to know how our products are resonating with our customers.
- Anything else?
Our unwavering commitment is to offer solutions that keep up with the demands of modern living and resonate with the vibrant Australian lifestyle.
We are here to make life smarter, more connected, and enriching for all.
- How do you see smart home technologies evolving over the next couple of years, and will generative AI be part of that evolution?
The smart home landscape is rapidly evolving, driven by user demand for more convenience, security, and connectivity.
We anticipate increased integration across devices, more user-friendly interfaces, and further emphasis on security and privacy.
Generative AI, with its capability to anticipate user needs and customise experiences, will undoubtedly play a significant role in shaping the future of smart home technologies.
eufy Security have incorporated local AI capabilities in the products to help eliminate blind spots and make notifications more efficient.
- What else should we know about eufy that we haven’t already discussed?
Beyond the products, eufy is about trust and relationships.
Our core principle is to always prioritise our customers the needs and safety of our customers
We are a connected smart home brand that is ‘Built with Care’. Every innovation we bring to the table is centered around making life easier, safer, and more enjoyable for our users.
- Now time for some closing questions – can you please share a memory of your first computer?
That first computer was more than just a machine. It was a gateway to a new world, a tool that sparked my curiosity and fueled my passion for technology. It was where I learned the basics, made mistakes, and discovered my potential. It was the beginning of my tech journey, and I’ll always look back at those Windows 95 days with fondness and gratitude.
- Could you also please share some of the best advice you’ve received in life to help you get where you are today?
One piece of advice that has always stuck with me is, be curious about the fundamentals, stay in touch with trends, but most importantly, never stop learning. The tech world is vast and ever-changing, and there’s always something new to discover.
- What is your final message to the viewers and readers, and to your current and future customers and partners?
To all our valued customers, partners, and viewers, we are committed to empowering smarter lives on a bigger scale, and will want to continue to be consumer-centric.
Trust in eufy, and we’ll pave the way for a smarter, brighter future together. Thank you for being part of our journey.
