Ulticam, a product of Xthings Inc., has announced the launch of Ulticam IQ. This camera system uses Gemini, a large language model from Google Cloud, to help with security tasks. The goal is to give businesses and other users a way to get quick information from video feeds, spot possible risks, and cut down on false alarms.
Ulticam IQ is designed to connect with Google Cloud and uses Gemini to look at video in real time. The camera can watch for changes in a scene and decide if anything seems out of place. By using machine learning, the device checks what is happening in the video and then gives a risk rating. The makers say this helps users respond faster to possible problems and can reduce the number of alarms that turn out to be nothing important.
One of the main points about Ulticam IQ is its use of automated scene analysis. This means the camera does not just record video but tries to understand what is happening in each frame. For example, it can tell the difference between a person walking by and someone acting in a way that could be a threat. When the camera sees something it thinks could be a risk, it makes a note and can send a message to a user or security team. The system is also built to keep learning over time so it can get better at spotting things that matter and ignoring things that do not.
Ulticam IQ also aims to solve a common problem in video security, which is too many false alarms. Many camera systems alert users for small or harmless events, which can make it hard to know when there is a real problem. By using Gemini and Google Cloud, Ulticam IQ tries to make better decisions about what counts as a real risk. The company hopes this will let users pay more attention to alerts that matter and spend less time checking events that are not important.
The system works in real time, so users do not have to wait for a long review of their footage. This is meant to help with quick decision-making in places like offices, stores, warehouses, or any setting where video security is needed. Ulticam IQ is also set up to work with other tools and services in Google Cloud. This could make it easier for users to manage their data and connect video security with other business systems.
Ulticam and Xthings Inc. see the new camera as a step toward smarter video security. By using tools from Google Cloud, they aim to give users more control and better information from their video feeds. The company says the Ulticam IQ is now available and is meant for a wide range of users who want to get more from their security cameras without having to deal with too many false alarms.
