Xthings introduces the Ulticam IQ V2, a next-generation AI-powered security camera delivering 4K imaging, edge-based object detection, Gemini cloud intelligence, and Matter 1.5 readiness. Designed for both residential and professional environments, the new PoE camera ensures seamless integration across open smart-home ecosystems without subscription lock-in.
The Ulticam IQ V2 combines performance-grade hardware with intelligent software to provide enhanced situational awareness, open compatibility, and proactive security insights. Built for the future of connected protection, it supports ONVIF, lifetime rolling 7-day cloud storage, and local SD card redundancy.
Gemini Intelligence Enhances Situational Awareness
Ulticam IQ V2 integrates Gemini AI on Google Cloud to deliver advanced scene understanding and real-time alerts that improve response accuracy and reduce false alarms.
Key capabilities include edge-based detection for people, vehicles, pets, packages, fire, smoke, and sound anomalies, alongside vehicle classification and behavioural insights for enhanced monitoring.
Natural-language search allows users to locate events quickly, while cross-camera search and automated incident playback create a unified narrative view across properties.
“This camera represents the next step in open, intelligent security,” said Raj Sundar, Sr. Director of Product Management at Xthings.
“It delivers real-time edge awareness combined with powerful cloud intelligence, offering professional security capability without ecosystem restriction.”
