Ulticam, a brand under Xthings Inc., launched the Ulticam IQ on July 7, 2025, introducing a groundbreaking AI-powered security camera that leverages Gemini on Google Cloud for advanced analytics. Offering 4K Ultra HD with HDR, free 7-day cloud storage, and intelligent features like scene analysis and automated risk assessment, Ulticam IQ sets a new standard for smart home and business security without subscription fees.
Announced on July 7, 2025, Ulticam IQ integrates Gemini on Google Cloud to deliver professional-grade video analytics, marking it as a pioneer in cloud AI security cameras. “Ulticam IQ, powered by Gemini on Google Cloud, marks a fundamental shift: it doesn't just see, it understands,” said Patrick Serrato, Director of Ecosystem Business Development and Product Strategy at Xthings. The camera’s Intelligent Scene Analysis identifies objects, behaviors, and locations in real-time, while Automated Risk Assessment classifies footage by threat level, reducing false alarms. Daily summaries, such as “2 high-risk events detected between 11:00 a.m. and 2:30 p.m.,” keep users informed efficiently.
Designed for indoor and outdoor use, Ulticam IQ is ideal for securing front yards, backyards, warehouses, and parking lots. It combines edge AI for instant detection of people, vehicles, and faces with cloud AI for advanced processing. The camera offers 4K or 2K Ultra HD resolution with HDR and a 160° wide-angle field of view, ensuring crisp visuals. Its dual storage system includes free 7-day rolling cloud storage and 8GB internal storage, expandable to 128GB via SD card. Connectivity options include Wi-Fi, Ethernet, and Power over Ethernet (PoE), with a motion-activated spotlight for deterrence and enhanced visibility.
Ulticam IQ prioritizes privacy with AES-256 end-to-end encryption for video, audio, and data across cloud and local storage. Its weather-resistant design operates in temperatures from -4°F to 122°F, ensuring reliability in harsh conditions. The U home app enables real-time alerts, two-way audio, and customizable detection zones, minimizing false notifications. Integration with Amazon Alexa and Google Home enhances smart home compatibility.
Priced at $169 for the 2K model and $199 for the 4K model (with optional 4G LTE versions at $199 and $239, respectively), Ulticam IQ is available at ulticam.com, u-tec.com, and Amazon.
