Xthings Launches Matter 1.5-Ready Ulticam IQ V2 with Edge AI, Gemini Cloud Intelligence, and Free Cloud Storage

The next-generation AI-powered security camera combines 4K imaging, on-device object detection, Gemini cloud scene intelligence and truly open-standard compatibility - now Matter 1.5-ready and built for the future of connected security

FREMONT, Calif., Nov. 21, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Xthings today announced the Ulticam IQ V2, the latest evolution in its AI-bolstered security camera product line. Ulticam IQ V2 is a 4K UHD Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) camera that merges Gemini AI intelligence, Matter 1.5 readiness, and broad compatibility with smart-home ecosystems, alongside ONVIF support, lifetime free rolling 7-day cloud storage, and local SD card backup. Designed for both residential and professional installations, IQ V2 offers next-level detection, high-performance imaging and seamless integration across nearly all ecosystems.

"Ulticam IQ V2 represents the next step in open, intelligent security," said Raj Sundar, Sr. Director of Product Management at Xthings. "With the release of Matter 1.5, cameras can now speak the universal smart home language, and we're proud to bring that breakthrough to life through Ulticam IQ V2. The camera performs object detection at the edge for real-time awareness, while Gemini AI delivers rich scene analysis and event summaries in the cloud. Together, they give users pro-level capability, ecosystem freedom and a truly connected experience, without subscriptions or lock-in."

Gemini Intelligence

Ulticam IQ V2 integrates Google Gemini on Google Cloud for advanced scene understanding and proactive alerts:

• Edge AI capabilities: person, vehicle, pet (cat/dog), package detection, fire and smoke alerts, crying-sound detection; vehicle type/classification.
• Natural-language history search: e.g., "Show me when the delivery driver came yesterday" or "Find clips of a red car at the driveway."
• Cross-camera search across all property-cameras at once.
• Incident-playback that automatically stitches related clips into one narrative sequence.
• Daily event summaries and presence timelines, showing activity by zone and time of day.
• Risk analytics that classify and prioritize events, reducing false alarms by up to 99%.
• Behavioral and vehicle attribute analysis coming in future updates.

Universal Compatibility

Ulticam IQ V2 is the first PoE camera to bring together wired and wireless network options alongside edge AI + Gemini cloud intelligence and full open-ecosystem support. With Matter 1.5, and ONVIF Profile T support, it works in simple smart-home setups or advanced security networks without ecosystem lock-in.

Professional-Grade Performance

• 4K UHD (3840 × 2160) video with HDR and enhanced low-light capture
• 160° diagonal field of view
• Infrared night vision up to 10 m
• Two-way audio (built-in mic & speaker)
• Integrated siren and spotlight for deterrence
• Weather resistance from –4 °F to 122 °F (–20 °C to +50 °C) for indoor/outdoor use
• Connectivity: RJ45 PoE / Wi-Fi 2.4GHz / BLE 5.0; optional LTE fallback
• Local storage redundancy: supports SD cards up to 512 GB for instant access and backup.

Storage & Security

Ulticam IQ V2 offers lifetime free rolling 7-day cloud storage, plus local storage for redundancy and instant access on your home network. Streams and recordings are protected with end-to-end encryption.

Note: IQ V2 models no longer include built-in eMMC storage; all Gemini-enabled Ulticam models share cloud AI capabilities, and IQ V2 adds Matter 1.5 readiness and expanded edge AI detection.

Pricing and Availability

Ulticam IQ V2 will be available at the end of December 2025 at ulticam.com and on Amazon, starting at $199.

Multi-phase, multi-region rollout will deliver advanced AMD AI silicon and the open AMD ROCm software stack to frontier-model, enterprise, and sovereign AI customers across global markets

SINGAPORE, May 27, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- OneQode, a global provider of mission-critical digital infrastructure, today announced a collaboration with AMD to deploy AMD Instinct™ GPUs, as well as announcing plans to deploy AMD Helios rack-scale solution as the platform foundation for OneQode's global AI infrastructure rollout.

OneQode plans a phased rollout anchored by AMD Instinct™ MI355X GPUs in initial deployments and incorporating AMD Helios solution in the future. The deployment will run on the open AMD ROCm™ software stack, giving customers a standards-based, vendor-neutral foundation for large-scale AI training and inference.

The announcement follows OneQode's recently announced 110MW AI infrastructure agreement with Bitzero in Norway, and reflects the company's broader strategy to deploy high-performance AI capacity across Europe and Asia-Pacific. It leverages their existing cloud and telecommunications footprint deployed across 5 continents over the last 7 years, and will also incorporate their unique low-latency, sovereignty-focused product offerings.

OneQode expects to support a range of high-performance AI workloads, powered by AMD AI solutions, including frontier-model training and inference, enterprise AI, and sovereign AI for governments, research institutions, and AI-first organisations.

"Demanding AI workloads require high-performance compute, scalable infrastructure and an open software ecosystem," said Negin Oliver, corporate vice president, Business Development for AI, AMD. "AMD Instinct GPUs and the unifying AMD ROCm open software stack are designed to help customers accelerate large-scale AI training and inference with the performance, efficiency and flexibility they need. We're pleased to work with OneQode as it expands access to AMD AI solutions for customers globally."

"AMD is shipping some of the most compelling AI hardware in the market," said Matthew Shearing, Founder and CEO of OneQode, "The challenge now is putting that silicon in the right places - close to the customers, sovereign workloads, and AI-first organisations that need it. That's what OneQode does. We've spent nearly a decade building performance infrastructure across Europe, Asia-Pacific, and the global south, serving the kinds of workloads where uptime, latency and sovereignty actually matter. We're aiming to be AMD's partner of choice for extending AMD Instinct silicon at scale into the regions that need it most."

"We're genuinely pumped to be working with AMD," said Joe Swinn, Head of Product at OneQode. "We've been deploying infrastructure at scale globally for seven years, including some blazing-fast AMD EPYC processor-based private cloud builds, and this is one we've been waiting for. The AMD Instinct MI355X is a serious piece of silicon, and AMD Helios is built for the kinds of AI workloads our customers actually want to run. The AMD team have been brilliant to deal with, and we can't wait to get this kit in front of customers."
