AI-Driven Security Innovation

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.

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.

Privacy and Durability

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. By eliminating subscription fees, Ulticam disrupts the $8 billion global video surveillance market, offering unmatched value.
