The Ulticam IQ Series: The World's Smartest Edge AI-Powered Home Security Cameras
The Ulticam IQ Series, which includes IQ and IQ Floodlight, takes home security to the next level with the most advanced AI-powered recognition. Among the very first consumer cameras to use edge AI, the IQ Series can quickly and accurately identify people, faces and vehicles, without uploading video for server-side processing, which improves speed, accuracy, security and privacy. Additionally, the Ulticam IQ Series is designed to improve over time with over-the-air updates that enable new AI features.
Both cameras offer free cloud storage (7 days rolling) and 8GB of built-in storage, expandable up to 128 GB with SD cards for additional recording capacity and dual-layer recording.
Ulticam IQ Series security cameras are weatherproof and designed for reliable outdoor performance in any environment, day or night, with exceptional 2K Quad HD image quality (4K Ultra HD versions coming in Q2 2025). IQ features an integrated spotlight, while IQ Floodlight features two powerful floodlights and color night vision. Both activate upon detecting motion, deterring intruders, and enhancing visibility with more light. With the U home app, users get real-time alerts, live camera viewing, two-way audio, and searchable footage. The cameras also offer four customizable detection zones to help minimize false motion detections.
Users also can choose from multiple connectivity options, including Wi-Fi, LAN, 4G LTE, or Power over Ethernet (IQ only). IQ offers a plug-in power option and IQ Floodlight is a wired camera. The IQ series will support integration with Amazon Alexa and Google Home at launch.
The MSRP for Ulticam IQ 2K is $169 or $199 with optional 4G LTE connectivity. IQ Floodlight 2K is $199 or $239 with optional 4G LTE connectivity. All IQ and IQ Floodlight versions will be available in Spring 2025.
Ulticam Dot: The Anywhere Security Camera
Ulticam Dot (MSRP: $69) is a portable, wireless security camera that delivers peace of mind at home or on the go. Its compact, battery-powered, and weather-resistant design makes it easy to use anywhere indoors or covered outdoors—whether at home, in a hotel room, or anywhere in between—making it a dependable and versatile security solution. Like all Ulticam cameras, it offers free cloud storage (7 days rolling) and subscription-free person and motion detection.
With 2K Quad HD video, night vision, and an ultra-wide field of view, Ulticam Dot ensures clear and comprehensive coverage, day or night. When connected to Wi-Fi, it provides real-time alerts, two-way audio, and automatic dual-layer recording. Dot also offers four customizable detection zones to deliver real-time alerts while minimizing false motion detections.
Ulticam Dot is designed for personal security wherever you need it and comes with four replaceable AA alkaline batteries, 8GB built-in storage, alarm siren, a magnetic base for mounting on metal surfaces, and peel-and-stick adhesive and screws for easy installation on any surface. Dot can stay in standby mode for up to two to three months using 4 AA batteries. In use battery life will depend on camera activity and environment.
Built-in Wi-Fi enables direct connection to your home network without additional hubs, and the U home app allows seamless control. Dot supports integration with Amazon Alexa and is now available at Ulticam Dot
