IFA is always packed with new technology fighting for your attention, but cutting through the noise takes true industry leadership. If you are a European tech enthusiast or homeowner looking ahead to what is next, EZVIZ is gearing up to make a major impact in Berlin this September with a lineup designed to completely transform what your smart home can do.

With over a decade of continuous development in Europe, EZVIZ has built a strong foothold in smart cameras and is now thoughtfully expanding into smart entry. That experience really matters because homes across the continent are far from one-size-fits-all. Think about it. The security needs of a compact apartment look entirely different from those of a sprawling villa with a driveway and gate. The wiring, the installation preferences, and even your everyday routines demand specialized, careful engineering.

At IFA 2026, EZVIZ is putting those differences front and center. Beyond just maintaining a global perspective, the brand dives deep into local markets to figure out what users actually need. Several advanced products and technologies will make their first public appearance on the exhibition floor, giving you an exclusive, early look at the future of secure living. 

The triple-lens 90f series and new dual-lens 3K series push smart security further

Smart cameras are familiar territory for EZVIZ, but its professional-grade generations are engineered to see way more without cluttering up your property with a bunch of standalone units.

The headline-grabbing triple-lens 90f series includes the wired H90f Triple and the battery-powered HB90f Triple. Both models rock an unprecedented triple-lens system that interlinks to deliver up to 12x mixed zoom. Unlike standard multi-lens devices that just awkwardly stitch independent feeds together, the 90f triple lenses actually talk to each other in real-time.

They seamlessly shift between wide-angle and close-up tracking so you never miss a detail. Triple motors allow dual rotations to eliminate blind spots, backed by free, local familiar face recognition, human and vehicle shape detection, and auto-zoom tracking without any annoying subscription fees. And if you need to place a camera somewhere tricky, the HB90f Triple solves that with a massive 10,400mAh battery, AOV 2.0, and solar panel compatibility for remote outdoor spots.

Making their highly anticipated premiere at the exhibition are the brand-new portable CB30 Dual and the advanced CB60 Dual, which are yet to be available. These upcoming battery-powered cameras bring incredible flexibility to indoor and outdoor protection. Featuring a waterproof design and a handy magnetic base, they break traditional boundaries. You can place them virtually anywhere while taking advantage of rare mixed-zoom capabilities tucked into a surprisingly sleek dual-lens build.

From the EP8 Ultra to HP7 Pro, smart entry adapts to your lifestyle

EZVIZ’s rapid evolution into smart entry really shows off its mature market localization. Rather than slapping the same doorbell on every type of home, the company targets distinct architectural setups.

For apartment living, the EP8 Ultra video doorbell introduces an industry first. It features a built-in AI interactive screen with responsive smart characters designed to offer a little emotional care right alongside top-tier security. It pairs crisp 6MP main clarity with a genius 2MP downward-facing lens to keep an eye on packages left on the ground.

Added to that, the 24/7 pre-rolling video capture, local AI-powered recognition for familiar faces, and dual 9,600mAh detachable lithium batteries ensure you are never left offline during a charge and have a powerhouse for the front door.

For villas and gated properties, EZVIZ is rolling out the HP7 Pro video doorphone alongside the HG2 600 Pro smart home sliding gate opener. The HP7 Pro upgrades the traditional intercom experience by bringing professional 4K clarity right to your front door. It also features highly secure, local palm vein and face recognition for effortless unlocking. Designed for simple upgrades, its two-wire installation that is compatible with common regional setups. Plus, it doubles as a central hub with remote access for your other connected smart devices. Pair it with the DIY-friendly HG2 600 Pro gate opener for complete, flexible control over your property’s access.

EZVIZ AI CoreX offers a glimpse at the brand’s edge AI future

All these hardware highlights are powered by EZVIZ’s unique on-device approach to artificial intelligence. Built-in AI chips handle advanced detection, including basic capabilities like spotting wild animals, alongside familiar face, palm vein, and shape recognition across the product line.

Being unveiled for the very first time at IFA are features like advanced edge AI object recognition, which will identify over 130 categories of everyday items on the device without subscription fees. However, these capabilities are not yet available to the public. Also making its debut is the automated event summary feature, which consolidates notifications into a single, easy-to-read story, saving time and effort.

Finally, attendees will get a sneak peek at the upcoming EZVIZ AI CoreX. As one of the first edge AI stations designed specifically for smart homes, EZVIZ AI CoreX manages your data processing and storage entirely on-site. It lets you customize single-device smartness or build out an entire AI-powered security ecosystem, putting the future of smart home security right in your hands.

The IFA 2026 Publisher Award Winners Bring Fresh Ideas to Everyday Tech
From Smarter Entry to Screen-Free Wellness, These IFA 2026 Winners Do Things Differently
IFA 2026 Publisher Awards

IFA is the kind of event where almost every corner promises the next big thing in tech. Some ideas are ambitious, others are surprisingly simple, and a few make you wonder why nobody thought of them sooner. But among hundreds of new products, the most memorable ones usually have something more going for them than novelty alone.

This year’s IFA Publisher Award winners are a good example. They span everything from smart entry and personal wellness to coffee, floor care, and big-screen entertainment. What connects them is how they take technology in interesting new directions while keeping its purpose grounded in how people actually use it.

How Birdfy is turning everyday backyards into a new window on nature
Birdfy Feeder Metal 2 4K

For most people, birdwatching starts with a glance through a window. A flash of red near the feeder. A hummingbird hovering for a few seconds. A bird perched on a fence before disappearing into the trees. These moments are easy to miss, and even when we notice them, we may not know what we are looking at.

Birdfy is changing that dynamic by bringing technology into one of the most ordinary places for observing wildlife: the backyard. The company has now surpassed one million smart birding devices worldwide. In the U.S., its smart birding community is capturing bird activity across everyday residential spaces, creating a growing dataset on how birds interact with the places where people live. Instead of relying on a handful of traditional observation sites, Birdfy's technology is recording bird activity from thousands of everyday residential spaces. The resulting data offers a different way to look at how birds interact with the places where people live, and how people are responding to those encounters.

Linkind Smart Light Stick Wins Our Best Smart Lighting Award
Computer, Electronics, Laptop

Smart lighting is at its most useful when it does more than introduce a few fun colors. It should make a space more comfortable during an ordinary evening, add energy when the occasion calls for it, and remain easy enough that everyone in the household can enjoy it. The Linkind Smart Light Stick Color+White 850lm delivers that versatility, earning our Best Smart Lighting Award.

We installed the Linkind lights in the pendant fixtures above our kitchen island, where they quickly became part of the room’s everyday routine. The kitchen gave us a good place to test them because it’s one of the most frequently used spaces in our home. The lights needed to be bright enough for regular use, but their position in the room also gave us a clear view of the colors and animated effects.
