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.”
