Xthings announced its Ulticam Long-Range Wireless AI Security Kit and Wireless Long Range 8-Camera Bullet Kit deliver sub-GHz wireless coverage on commercial properties.
The Xthings cameras use AI and they’re part of a suite of security tech tools that span homes to enterprises.
The camera covers up to a kilometer, and it has on-device AI analytics and free cloud storage with no recurring fees. The company showed the tech at ISC West 2026, the security tech event in Las Vegas, as part of its efforts to show it is an AIoT company, combining artificial intelligence with internet of things tech, said Raj Sundar, senior director of product management at Xthings, in an interview with GamesBeat.
Xthings unveiled two new Wi-Fi HaLow long-range camera systems under its Ulticam intelligent vision security camera line, designed to solve the most persistent and expensive problems in commercial security: reliably covering large, complex, and hard-to-wire properties without running cable.
Moving into commercial markets
Sundar said The company is delivering tech across home, work and public spaces, combining smart access video and AI to create unified, secure and scalable experiences.
Xthings has connected home products with smart locks and smart cameras. And nw it’s offering similar tech to businesses, enterprises and also public spaces.
“Our mission is simple, to make security smarter, more connected and easier to deploy across pretty much every environment,” Sundar said.
The company is expanding into the small and medium enterprise (SME) businesses in part because the security market is fragmented.
“There are multiple workspace management requirements, and these are typically put together by an integration partner or a dealer who brings in these solutions together. And more often than not, they are stitched together as systems manually,” Sundar said. “We see that as a challenge, especially for the small to medium sized enterprises that are deploying these solutions, and we are answering that with unified approach that brings in, access as well as surveillance and the time tracking that is required.”
Built on the Wi-Fi HaLow (802.11ah) standard, the new Ulticam Long-Range Wireless AI Security Kit and the Wireless Long Range 8-Camera Bullet Kit + NVR use sub-GHz wireless connectivity to reach distances up to 1 kilometer from a single gateway, penetrating walls, structures, and terrain that traditional 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi simply cannot.
For integrators, dealers, and facility managers, extending video surveillance to remote buildings, perimeter fences, parking structures, loading docks, and detached facilities has historically required either expensive cable runs and conduit work, wireless bridges or unreliable Wi-Fi mesh networks that introduces latency, signal drops, and maintenance headaches.
The cost of trenching alone can exceed the cost of the camera systems, and the result is often a compromise: critical areas go unmonitored because the infrastructure investment can’t be justified.
The new Ulticam HaLow camera systems from Xthings are built to eliminate that compromise. Both kits deliver professional-grade AI-powered surveillance over long-range wireless, with no extenders, no cable trenching, and no proprietary networking equipment required.
“Every integrator knows the conversation: the customer needs cameras on the back fence line, the detached warehouse, or the far side of the parking lot, and the project stalls because the cabling cost doesn’t pencil out,” said Sundar. “With HaLow, we’re removing that barrier entirely. These systems reach up to a kilometer wirelessly, carry full AI analytics on-device, and include free cloud storage with no subscription fees. For dealers and integrators, that’s a faster install, a cleaner proposal, and a happier customer.”
Long-Range Wireless AI Security Kit: Coming Q2 2026
The Long-Range Wireless AI Security Kit is a HaLow gateway and camera system designed to work with Xthings One Station for rapid deployment to locations where traditional Wi-Fi falls short.
The Ulticam HaloW cameras are relevant for both the smart home use case as well as for enterprises. Traditional Wi Fi cameras have struggled in larger, distributed deployments and HaloW extends reliable connectivity, Sundar said. The HaloW tech extends the distance of the wireless range to hundreds of feet, he said.
The kit pairs a HaLow Wi-Fi Gateway with four B25W outdoor bullet cameras that record in 4MP (2560×1440) with HDR. The gateway provides sub-GHz wireless coverage up to 1 kilometer from a single point, penetrating walls, foliage, and structures that block conventional Wi-Fi signals.
On-device edge AI provides real-time classification of people, vehicles, and pets, along with a full behavior analytics suite including intrusion detection, line crossing, region entry and exit monitoring, and loitering detection.
The AI Security Kit also includes fire and smoke detection, a capability particularly relevant for agricultural operations, industrial facilities, and remote sites where early warning can prevent catastrophic loss. Storage is handled through Xthings One with support for up to 17,000 clips. Cameras support PoE (IEEE 802.3af) for installations where wired power is available. The system is managed through the Xthings One Interface.
Wireless long-range 8-camera bullet kit + NVR: Coming Q2 2026
The Wireless Long Range 8-Camera Bullet Kit is a complete surveillance system built for full-site coverage of commercial properties, office complexes, educational facilities, healthcare campuses, and warehouse operations.
The kit includes an eight-channel NVR with dual 3.5” HDD bays for extended on-premise recording, paired with eight weatherproof B2 outdoor bullet cameras that record in up to 4MP (2560×1440) with HDR.
All eight cameras connect wirelessly via Wi-Fi HaLow, eliminating the need for cable runs across the property while also supporting PoE (IEEE 802.3af) for hybrid installations where wired connectivity is preferred at certain positions.
Each camera includes on-device edge AI with the same behavior analytics and classification detection suite: intrusion, line crossing, region entrance and exit, loitering, and person, vehicle, and pet classification. Built-in microphones and speakers on every camera enable two-way audio communication and active audible deterrence, giving security teams the ability to intervene in real time. H.265 compression maximizes storage efficiency across the NVR’s internal storage, and the system includes free 7-day rolling cloud storage alongside local recording for redundant retention.
Always-On Video: Pre-event footage that traditional cameras miss
Ulticam HaLow systems use a proprietary Always-On Video (AOV) technology, which is a fundamentally different approach from the PIR-triggered recording used by most wireless cameras.
Traditional PIRbased cameras sleep until an infrared motion sensor detects movement, then wake and begin recording, a process that introduces recording delays and routinely misses the first seconds of an event. AOV keeps the camera in an ultra-low-power video state, continuously capturing keyframes so that AI detection runs directly on video rather than waiting for a passive sensor trigger.
The result is pre-event footage, instant detection, and a complete event timeline from start to finish, with detection range that is not limited by the reach of a PIR sensor.
Built for the Channel: Faster Installs, Simpler Proposals
Ulticam’s HaLow lineup is designed with dealers and integrators as the primary go-to-market path.
The systems are plug-and-play out of the box, reducing on-site installation time. Wireless HaLow connectivity eliminates the cable infrastructure that drives up labor quotes and project timelines. Free 7-day cloud storage removes the subscription conversation that can stall residential and SMB deals.
And because both kits support PoE alongside HaLow, integrators have the flexibility to mix wired and wireless camera positions on the same system based on site conditions. Both systems are NDAA compliant, meeting procurement requirements for government and public-sector projects.
All cameras are weatherproof and rated for indoor and outdoor use, with IR night vision.
Ulticam HaLow long-range camera systems will be on display at ISC West 2026 at the Xthings booth: Stand #32061.
From home to enterprise security
“Some of the benefits that you get today with video analytics that live on the cloud can be deployed in the enterprise itself, and that also has additional benefit of reducing the latency,” Sundar said
Starting from on the home side, Xthings provides products with smart home basics like light bulbs, switches, smart plugs, locks, and the camera line.
“Also, we have a suite of products that address enterprise use cases and access control terminals, readers, different types, biometric fingerprint, facial recognition, and QR code readers,” Sundar said.
Xthings has a full portfolio of devices that support connectivity at the edge, whether it is Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, ZigBee or Zwave, or interface with ecosystems like standardizing on ecosystems Like matter or Zwave, and also third party integrations through APIs and SDKs that are available, Sundar said.
“We have a common platform. We have standardized the Xthings platform that goes across all these three verticals. And then you have end-user facing apps, Xthings Home for smart home users, and then dedicated apps for enterprise customers, and it may be available, both in the desktop form factor as a web application as well as on the smartphones,” Sundar said.
Xthings One is a command center for security
Xthings One unifies the video surveillance access control as well as people activity in terms of time and attendance, Sundar said.
He added, “So with security being fragmented, and especially for systems that grew over time so Xthings One replaces those systems with a single on-premise, edge powered command center. So here, everything runs locally. Cloud is optional and it’s not required.”
It runs locally on an edge station, a box dubbed Xthings Universal Station.
“So we would offer this in multiple form factors as well, and this has enough compute to run local video analytics as well as multiple large language models (LLMs). And the platform is designed in such a way that it is modular. Our customers can start with one use case and grow over time,” he said.
Employers can insert lots of addresses, any privacy and compliance requirements, and door control, he said.
“We have readers for pretty much every use case, whether it is facial recognition, fingerprint biometrics, palm-vein biometrics or standard RFID readers,” he said.
The Xthings One seamlessly connects all of these features, which can coexist with third-party access control systems and monitoring solutions. It is built on open standards and and there is also time and attendance tracking that automatically computes your check in and check out time irrespective of which door through which you came in, he said.
Reports from those cameras can by the payroll processing.
“It’s flexible, so you can start small and expand when you’re ready. And it is also integrator and dealer friendly in that sense,” Sundar said. “If they want to add on top of it guest access, or you want to pre-provision a guest and allow them to get a QR code into their phone so they can seamlessly get through the front door, it’s also possible that this can be fully automated as well.”
Xthings Universal Station
For example, secure site is cameras that Xthings offers from the Ulticam line, which also have edge AI for object detection capabilities. A lot of processing work happens on the camera itself, and when you deploy it with the Xthings One Universal Station, the video analytics that typically goes to the cloud happens locally on within your network itself.
“So your video clips or critical video recordings at an enterprise do not leave the enterprise,” he said.
The Xthings Universal Station is where the Xthings One runs, and this can store up to 17,000 video clips on it. It has a gigabit Ethernet connection and the GPU runs at 25 TOPS, which means that localized compute works and it can support up to 10,000 users.
The camera footage for things like fire safety can be processed locally, so a single dashboard has no latency because these videos don’t leave your premises. Everything is managed locally, and it is also privacy first.
For example, this can be deployed depending on the type of enterprise that is using. It could be a warehouse with a turnstile that is letting vehicles go in, allowing only authorized vehicles to enter. That can be done through license plate recognition.
Xtower provides mobile security at construction sites and more
Xtower is what Sundar calls a next-generation urban guardian, which has multiple use cases.
“Think of it as a package solution compared to know what you see with those other cameras, which are typically assembled with multiple cameras on a trailer that is typically used in construction sites to provide security at the site. So this one has 4K cameras, 360-degree coverage, and mated with batteries and also solar panels at the top,” he said.
“What this brings to the security integrator is less dependency on infrastructure to bring up surveillance at a location, like an outdoor location, whether it is a parking lot or a construction zone or school campus, or university campus, You can spring this up pretty quickly through truck rolls,” he said.
On a campus, the Xtower can connect to a campus security command center. It can also double up as a wireless charging station where you can charge cell phones for a security team.
How smart is the AI?
I asked Sundar if security cameras will get replaced by flying drones at some point, as battery life gets better for such devices. But he said the battery is a key problem to solve still, but the drones could solve the need for additional eyes.
And as for home and workforce privacy, I asked how companies are coming up with policies for privacy support while still increasing surveillance. He noted that the cameras will look at faces and it is possible to blur faces if necessary. But he noted that this data is not being shared outside the home or outside the enterprise for the most part. Those who want to share images publicly can blur the faces before doing so, he said.
As for AI processing, he noted that putting the AI inside the cameras can reduce the amount of data traffic sent to the control center. He said the AI can help identify different vehicles and determine whether a certain vehicle could be a threat because it is unknown or not authorized to be where it is.
“The edge intelligence helps in that you can filter out most of those motion-triggered alerts that are not relevant to get to your attention, that can be eliminated by the camera itself, because the camera is not just relying on the motion, but it is also looking at these objects and then the perimeter,” Sundar said. “Maybe only if a vehicle is entering your driveway — then you need to be concerned. You don’t need to be alerted if it is just on the road.”
“The [AI] gives you a quick summary of what exactly happened on the clip. And additionally, with that AI, we can now classify that threat as a risk or something normal, and then if it is risky, then we can even identify user scale of low, medium or high, depending on whether there is a personal threat involved,” Sundar said.
Sundar said the company is targeting security dealers for smart homes and businesses as well as systems integrators at ISC West.
