Well that certainly puts a different spin on their claims to process things locally.
Right. Not only was everything not local like advertised, it wasn’t even encrypted as advertised. Never buy Eufy. Never ever ever.
At this point it seems that adding AI to a product description is just marketing hype.
It does feel like that. I'm waiting for an AI bin (trash can). But now I say it, that might stop people putting unrecyclable items in the recycling bin.

At this point, with everyone touting fancy features, I don't know if that's a good thing, although working locally is - I expect a lot more AI to get rolled out in all sorts of products (most that probably don't need it) largely as a way to force you into a cloud-based subscription.
Some local smarts are useful.
Reolink cameras are now pretty good at spotting the difference between burglars, cats, and trees blowing in the wind.
They've just got to be truly local, and the cameras themselves without bullshit that stops things working if you block internet to them.
