FREMONT, Calif., July 7, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Ulticam IQ, a new line of AI-powered security cameras designed for advanced features and affordability from global AIoT solutions leader Xthings, will now come with advanced cloud AI features using Gemini on Google Cloud, bringing professional-grade video analytics to homeowners with free cloud recording on a rolling 7-day basis. This versatile indoor/outdoor camera offers free cloud storage, 4K Ultra HD resolution with HDR, and AI-driven features that provide human-like understanding of scenes and events, redefining smart home security.

Transformative AI Features for Smarter Security

Ulticam IQ's use of Gemini on Google Cloud introduces three industry-leading capabilities:

• Intelligent Scene Analysis: Real-time identification of objects, behaviors, and locations, with detailed event descriptions.
• Automated Risk Assessment: Classifies event footage by threat level. Users can configure push notifications exclusively for high-risk event occurrences.
• Daily Summaries: Automatically delivers concise daily reports, such as: "In the past 24 hours, 2 high-risk events were detected between 11:00 a.m. and 2:30 p.m."

"For over a decade, security cameras have relied on basic motion detection, flooding users with false alerts that ultimately get ignored," said Patrick Serrato, Director of Ecosystem Business Development and Product Strategy at Xthings. "Ulticam IQ, powered by Gemini on Google Cloud, marks a fundamental shift: it doesn't just see, it understands. From intelligent scene analysis to automated risk assessment, we're bringing real-time situational awareness and decision-making into the smart home and business."
