HomeKit Weekly: The Ulticam IQ brings PoE and Gemini AI to a Matter-certified smart camera

Xthings launched the Ulticam IQ V2, a Matter 1.5-certified 4K security camera.

It adds Power over Ethernet and local detection for easier wired installation and reliability.

Google Gemini cloud features enable event summaries and natural-language video search.

Apple Home still does not support Matter cameras, but the device works with ONVIF, Alexa, Google Home, and local systems.
