Your home server has the footage. Finding the bit you need is another job. The visitor wore a blue jacket, the dog wandered out of the home office sometime after lunch, and a delivery arrived while you were in a meeting. Plenty of data, several very ordinary questions.

UGREEN HomeAgent HA100 combines NAS storage, local camera AI and smart home control in one appliance. For a technically minded household, the attraction is getting useful answers out of the information the home already produces, with storage and analysis running on hardware under your own roof.

Make the camera useful beyond its live feed

Imagine a three-bedroom townhouse with a dedicated home office and a camera near the entryway. A SynCare ID500 Pro can pan, tilt and follow people or pets as they move through the room. That suits a dog that rarely stays where you last saw it, and an entrance that sees people coming and going throughout the day.

Uliya gives that camera a conversational use. Ask whether your pet is in a room covered by a SynCare camera, and the assistant can answer from the view. You can get back to the document on your main monitor without turning a second screen into a permanent camera dashboard.

For recorded activity, AI Event Summary in the UGREEN NAS App describes the key events. It is useful after a long work session: read what happened around the house, then open the clips that deserve a closer look. The recording becomes something you can scan before you commit to watching it.

AI Keyword Search solves the more specific problem of finding a clip from a remembered detail. Enter “blue jacket” in the app to look for matching footage. A visual clue you can describe becomes the route into the archive, even when the timestamp has escaped you.

The privacy argument is straightforward when the subject is your family living room. HA100 performs camera analysis locally and stores recordings on drives you own. You can use AI to make that footage easier to understand while keeping the analysis and video archive at home. Local storage also avoids a recurring cloud-storage subscription.

UGOS Pro puts Surveillance Center alongside file storage, backups and Smart Home controls. For someone who would otherwise assemble separate services for those jobs, the integration is a concrete part of the buying decision. The same system can hold your photo archive, look after camera recordings and take a spoken request to turn on a compatible office light.

HA100's 16GB of memory supports that combination of household services. Its 2.5GbE network connection gives a compatible network more bandwidth for backups and video transfers than a gigabit link, while its storage bays provide separate space for NAS files and surveillance recordings. Those resources have an everyday job, even if you never write a line of AI code.

Let the home interrupt you for a reason

With a SynCare camera watching the entrance, package detection can flag a delivery while you work. Add a Smart Speaker for Uliya in the home office and it can announce the event there. That is a useful interruption between calls, especially when the phone you would normally check is buried under papers.

The speaker also brings voice control into that room. Ask for a compatible light or curtain to change while you stay at the desk. For households ready to create more involved routines, HA100 Pro adds contextual understanding and automation rules created by voice.

A place for the clips you want to keep

Some camera moments are worth revisiting for happier reasons. The dog greeting the family at the door or everyone laughing over a birthday cake can be easy to miss with a phone. AI Highlights turns selected camera moments into short videos, doing some of the work of finding and assembling memories from footage that would otherwise sit in the archive.

When you want to build beyond the existing features

Developers with a specific household AI project can look further up the range to MasterAgent MA100. Its NVIDIA Jetson Thor T5000 is rated for up to 2,070 TFLOPS at sparse FP4 precision for demanding local models. The “King of Agents” idea is about coordinating goals, local data and device capabilities across multiple steps, with Packages or Skills providing routes to extend the system.

A developer might want to build a custom household event report or connect a family schedule to selected device actions. Those are development possibilities whose software and integrations still need to be built. At $9,999 Super Early Bird pricing, MA100 makes sense when that work is the point of the purchase, with four 8TB hard drives included for deposit customers who complete their purchase; HA100 and HA100 Pro cover the more familiar job of using an integrated home system.

Ordering and timing

HA100's Super Early Bird price is $799, versus a regular Kickstarter price of $959 and a $1,599 MSRP, with one ID500 Pro included as a complimentary gift for deposit customers who complete their purchase. Drives, cameras and other accessories are separate purchases. UGREEN says its currently announced features have no additional service fee. A $50 deposit through October 26, 2026, on the UGREEN AIoT Official Store unlocks the Secret Reward Link for the HA100 offer.

When Kickstarter opens on November 17, use that link and the same email address to select a reward and complete the pledge. The deposit reserves the offer, and the final purchase takes place through the campaign. Deposit refunds can be requested before the campaign ends.
