editeufy was launched in 2016 by Anker Innovations as part of the company's expansion into the smart home and home automation market. Headquartered in Shenzhen, China, the brand was introduced as a direct-to-consumer line, with early products including robotic vacuum cleaners, smart lighting, and small home appliances sold through online platforms such as Amazon and the company's website.[1][2][3][4][5][6]
By 2020, the brand had expanded into home security systems, smart lighting, and health devices such as smart scales. Products include the personal 3D texture UV printer EufyMake E1 launched through Kickstarter, NVR security system S4 Max, and eufy SpaceView.[1][2][3][4][5][6]
Privacy and Protection

The brand has apologized and updated its policies, but trust issues remain. The controversy highlighted the data security challenges facing smart home devices and sparked scrutiny from regulators. An update to eufy's website reaffirmed its commitment to privacy, emphasizing local storage and end-to-end encryption.[7][8]
