UGREEN is expanding its smart home ecosystem with a new lineup of hardware including local-AI hubs, security cameras, a smart speaker, and an E Ink photo frame, according to Android Authority reporting by Stephen Schenck. The hardware rollout, slated for a Kickstarter launch starting October 27, pairs edge processing hubs with high-resolution imaging and dedicated voice control infrastructure.
UGREEN SynCare 4K Cameras and Local AI Hub Integration
According to Stephen Schenck of Android Authority, UGREEN’s new camera lineup consists of three models: the SynCare Indoor Cam ID500 Pro, the SynCare PoE CAM OD600 Pro, and the SynCare Battery Cam OD800 Pro. Each device features an 8-megapixel, 4K main camera designed to interface directly with the company’s local-AI smart home hubs for video processing and storage.
The Indoor Cam ID500 Pro supports pan and tilt control for tracking movement inside the house. Meanwhile, the outdoor-focused PoE Cam OD600 Pro and Battery Cam OD800 Pro utilize a tilt-only 4K main shooter paired with a secondary 3K, 5MP camera equipped with full pan and tilt capabilities, as reported by Android Authority.
Did you know? Both outdoor camera models include active deterrence features, featuring flashing red and blue lights alongside audio warnings designed to scare off casual intruders, according to Stephen Schenck’s reporting for Android Authority.
Power Options: Power over Ethernet and Solar Backup
Hardware versatility dictates how users deploy security systems. According to Android Authority, the SynCare PoE CAM OD600 Pro relies on wired Power over Ethernet architecture for stable data transmission and continuous power delivery.
For off-grid or difficult-to-wire locations, the SynCare Battery Cam OD800 Pro packs a 10,000mAh battery. Stephen Schenck notes that this battery is kept topped up via an included 6W solar panel, reducing the need for manual recharges. Beyond basic surveillance, UGREEN’s local-AI hubs program these cameras to identify and highlight positive moments of interest, such as family activities in the yard or a child’s first steps, rather than just logging security footage.
SynCare Smart Speaker and Uliya Digital Assistant
Voice control anchors UGREEN’s hardware ecosystem through the SynCare Smart Speaker for Uliya, named after the company’s proprietary digital assistant. According to Android Authority, users activate the assistant using the “Hey Uliya” wake word.
The compact speaker houses a 5W audio driver. Stephen Schenck points out that its primary function is providing immediate, in-range voice control over connected smart home devices without requiring a smartphone or complex routing.
E Ink Spectra 6 Photo Frame Offers Months of Battery Life
Breaking away from traditional illuminated LCD touch panels, UGREEN’s new smart display prioritizes visual art and efficiency. According to Android Authority, the device uses a 13.3-inch E Ink Spectra 6 panel capable of displaying saturated colors at a 1600 x 1200 resolution.
Because E Ink technology only draws significant power when the image changes, the frame’s 10,000mAh battery can last up to six months on a single charge, according to reporting by Stephen Schenck.
