Anker eufy Video Doorbell S4 Launches With 3K Video, VR Viewing, AI Tracking, and 360-Style Doorstep Coverage
Anker has introduced the eufy Video Doorbell S4, a new wired smart doorbell designed to give homeowners a wider, sharper, and more interactive view of their front door. The device arrives as part of the company’s Edge 5.0 Yard Protection System and launches alongside the SoloCam E50 outdoor security camera.
The eufy Video Doorbell S4 is priced at $299.99 and includes the eufy Chime 2. It is available for pre-order, with shipping expected by the end of October 2026. Anker is also offering a larger security bundle that includes the Video Doorbell S4, a two-camera SoloCam E50 kit, and the HomeBase S380 hub for $949.98. The SoloCam E50 is also available separately for $229.99.
The Edge 5.0 lineup includes five devices: the Video Doorbell S4, SoloCam E50, TrackLight Cam S1, eufyCam E52, and Window Camera E10. The system is built around the idea of protecting the home as one connected space, with compatible products linking to the HomeBase S380 for local storage and expanded smart features without requiring a monthly subscription.
One of the biggest highlights of the eufy Video Doorbell S4 is its camera system. It records in 3K resolution at 3072 x 3072 pixels using a 9MP square sensor, with support for HDR and video up to 24 frames per second. The square format is designed to capture more of the scene than a traditional wide-angle doorbell camera, making it easier to see people from head to toe, as well as packages left near the door.
The doorbell’s lens offers a 180-degree field of view both horizontally and vertically. That means it can show a broad wall-to-wall and floor-to-ceiling view of the entrance area. For homeowners concerned about blind spots, this wide coverage could be one of the S4’s strongest selling points.
Anker is also promoting the Video Doorbell S4 as a VR-style doorbell. In VR mode, users can move their phone or compatible headset to look around the panoramic live feed from different angles. When someone presses the doorbell, the alert appears on the user’s phone like an incoming video call. Answering the alert opens a full-screen live view with two-way audio, allowing the homeowner to speak with visitors in real time.
The S4 also includes eufy OmniTrack, an AI-powered tracking feature that follows a person in the frame. Instead of only showing the full panoramic view, the system can automatically crop and center the subject, making it easier to focus on a visitor, delivery person, or anyone moving near the door.
For detection, Anker combines radar with dual PIR sensors. Radar is used for longer-range movement detection, while the two PIR sensors help monitor activity closer to the door. According to eufy, this setup helps reduce false alerts caused by rain, insects, or other minor motion.
Users can create custom detection zones within a 120-degree area up to 8 meters away. The doorbell supports detection for people, general motion, packages, and faces. A built-in welcome light can also turn on with a warm glow when someone approaches, adding both convenience and visibility at night.
Night performance is supported by dual spotlights, enabling color night vision instead of relying only on black-and-white infrared footage. The camera also supports up to 8x zoom, giving users a closer look at details when reviewing live or recorded video.
The eufy Video Doorbell S4 is a wired-only model. It connects to existing doorbell wiring rated between 16 and 24 VAC. It is not designed to run on battery power or solar power for everyday use. However, it does include a built-in 2,600mAh backup battery, which can keep the device running during power outages.
The included Chime 2 replaces the home’s existing mechanical chime, giving users an indoor alert when someone rings the bell.
For connectivity, the S4 supports dual-band Wi-Fi 6 on both 2.4GHz and 5GHz networks. eufy recommends an upload speed of at least 8Mbps for smooth 3K streaming. The doorbell includes 4GB of built-in storage for clips, allowing basic recording without a subscription.
Pairing the S4 with the HomeBase S380 unlocks additional features, including continuous 24/7 recording and more advanced AI recognition for people, vehicles, pets, and packages. This makes the doorbell more capable as part of a larger home security setup.
The Video Doorbell S4 works with Amazon Alexa, Google Home, and Apple Home. Apple Home support requires the HomeBase S380. However, some of the doorbell’s most advanced features remain exclusive to the Anker eufy app. Third-party smart home platforms only show a fixed live view, while VR mode and OmniTrack AI tracking are limited to eufy’s own app.
With its 3K video quality, panoramic field of view, VR viewing mode, AI subject tracking, local storage, and smart detection features, the Anker eufy Video Doorbell S4 is positioned as a premium smart doorbell for homeowners who want more than a basic front-door camera. Its wired-only design may not suit every home, but for users with compatible wiring, it offers a feature-rich security upgrade with no mandatory monthly fee.
