What Xthings does

Xthings Inc. is a private AIoT and smart-security company founded in 2015 and headquartered in Fremont, California, operating four wholly-owned sub-brands — ULTRALOQ (smart locks), Ulticam (security cameras), Anviz (biometric access control and time attendance), and UTEC (smart living devices) — unified under the Xthings platform. The company offers a layered technology stack spanning the Xthings Cloud unified AIoT platform, the on-premises Xthings One command center with 25 TOPS of edge AI compute, the consumer-facing Xthings Home mobile app (rebranded from U home in January 2026), and the Xthings Station / Gateway edge hubs, with X Tower extending the portfolio into autonomous public-safety infrastructure. Hardware spans MSRPs from $69 (Ulticam Dot) to $399 (ULTRALOQ Bolt Mission UWB), and the platform supports Matter, Zigbee, Z-Wave, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, ONVIF, RTSP, and OSDP protocols.

Xthings serves a diverse customer base across homeowners, tenants, Airbnb hosts, SMBs, property managers, hotels, municipal governments, and developers in 190+ countries, selling through Amazon, Best Buy, the tm:rw NYC flagship, direct e-commerce storefronts, an authorized dealer/integrator channel, and an enterprise field-sales motion. Revenue mechanics are hardware-dominant, supplemented by subscription cloud storage, per-seat enterprise licenses (Xthings One, Anviz CrossChex), and developer/SDK licensing — with several flagship products marketed as subscription-free with lifetime 7-day rolling cloud storage. Strategic partnerships with Samsung (Digital Home Key), Google (Gemini), Apple (Home Key), Amazon Alexa, Alarm.com, CSA (Aliro), Azure AD, and Okta anchor the platform inside the dominant consumer and enterprise ecosystems. AI capability combines edge object and behavior detection with Gemini-powered natural-language video search and generative summaries, though the most prominent generative features rely on third-party models rather than proprietary systems. No revenue, funding, or valuation figures have been publicly disclosed.

Scale indicators8 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights7 records

Direct peers

• Arlo Technologies: Arlo is a direct competitor in the consumer smart security camera category, offering wireless AI-powered cameras with cloud and edge AI features similar to Xthings' Ulticam lineup. Both companies emphasize subscription-free or flexible subscription models and target DIY and prosumer segments through retail (Best Buy, Amazon) and direct e-commerce.
• August Home (ASSA ABLOY): August is a direct smart lock competitor, offering retrofit and full-replacement smart locks with HomeKit, Z-Wave, and Wi-Fi connectivity similar to ULTRALOQ's product line. Both target homeowners, short-term rental hosts (Airbnb), and property managers with remote access and temporary credential features.
• Schlage (Allegion): Schlage is a direct smart lock competitor with the Encode series featuring Wi-Fi, Z-Wave, and Matter support — directly comparable to ULTRALOQ's Bolt and Latch lines. Both companies emphasize BHMA/ANSI certification, multi-protocol support, and integration with Ring, Alarm.com, and other monitored security platforms.

Broad incumbents

• Ring (Amazon): Ring is the dominant direct competitor in consumer smart home security with a broad portfolio of video doorbells, cameras, and alarm systems backed by Amazon's distribution, marketing, and Alexa integration. While Ring is a direct peer in cameras and doorbell security, its scale, Prime bundling, and parent-company ecosystem make it a broad incumbent rather than a focused specialist like Xthings.
• Google Nest: Google Nest is a broad incumbent in the smart home category offering cameras, doorbells, thermostats, and locks with deep Google Home, Gemini AI, and Android integration. Xthings partners with Google for Gemini AI on Ulticam, but Nest is also a direct competitor in cameras and an ecosystem competitor for unified smart home control.
• Vivint Smart Home: Vivint is a broad incumbent in professionally installed and monitored smart home security, offering cameras, smart locks, and integrated automation similar to Xthings' enterprise/property segments. While Vivint leads in subscription-monitored residential, Xthings competes in adjacent property management, multifamily, and SMB security use cases.

Emerging players

• Eufy (Anker Innovations): Eufy is a fast-growing direct competitor in smart home security with AI-powered cameras, doorbells, smart locks, and a subscription-free model — closely mirroring Xthings' positioning. Both companies emphasize local AI processing, free cloud storage, and Matter compatibility to undercut Ring/Nest.
• Aqara: Aqara is a comparable emerging player in Matter/Zigbee-based smart home with a broad product portfolio of sensors, cameras, locks, and hubs. Both Aqara and Xthings pursue multi-protocol interoperability strategies, partner with Samsung Wallet for digital keys, and target the unified AIoT platform opportunity.
• Latch: Latch is a comparable emerging player in smart access control for multifamily and commercial properties, offering cloud-managed smart locks, access credentials, and resident management software. Both companies target property managers, landlords, and hospitality operators with remote access, multi-tenant credentials, and PMS integration.

Others

• Alarm.com: Alarm.com is both a partner (Xthings' ULTRALOQ Bolt Z-Wave integrates into the Alarm.com platform) and a peer in the professionally monitored smart home and security ecosystem. Comparable because Alarm.com serves the same multi-site property management and SMB security use cases targeted by Xthings Cloud and Xthings One.
