Ulticam IQ V2 Wired AI Camera
Matter Protocol
The Ulticam IQ V2 Wired AI Camera from Ulticam connects to your smart home over Wi-Fi. It joins your existing network directly, without a Thread Border Router or extra hub, and your Matter controller reaches it through your home router.
Wi-Fi Band
Most Matter Wi-Fi devices only connect on 2.4 GHz. If your router combines 2.4 and 5 GHz under one SSID, split them to avoid issues.
Same Network
Your phone, your controller and the device must be on the same network. Guest networks and separate VLANs can block Matter.
Power Use
Wi-Fi uses more power than Thread, so most Matter over Wi-Fi devices run on mains power instead of batteries.
Every Matter device needs a Matter controller, like a smart hub, display or speaker. See all Matter hubs →
The Ulticam IQ V2 Wired AI Camera from Ulticam connects to your smart home over Ethernet. It plugs straight into your router or network switch, and your Matter controller reaches it over your local network, without a Thread Border Router or extra hub.
Wired and Stable
A network cable gives the most stable connection, with no Wi-Fi interference, range limits or dropouts.
Same Network
Your phone, your controller and the device must be on the same network. Guest networks and separate VLANs can block Matter.
Network Port
Matter over Ethernet devices need a free LAN port on your router or network switch.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the Ulticam IQ V2 Wired AI Camera need a smart hub?
Yes, but only a Matter controller from your platform, not a separate bridge. The Ulticam IQ V2 Wired AI Camera connects straight to your home network. The controller can be an Apple home hub, a Google Nest speaker, an Amazon Echo or Home Assistant.
Does the Ulticam IQ V2 Wired AI Camera work without internet?
Yes. Matter runs on your local network, so the Ulticam IQ V2 Wired AI Camera keeps working when your internet goes down. Remote access, voice assistants and some Ulticam cloud features may still need a working connection.
Does the Ulticam IQ V2 Wired AI Camera work with Apple Home, Google Home, Alexa and Home Assistant?
Yes. The Ulticam IQ V2 Wired AI Camera is Matter certified, so it works with Apple Home, Google Home, Amazon Alexa, Samsung SmartThings and Home Assistant, as long as the platform supports Camera devices. Support for newer device types can differ per platform.
Do I need the Ulticam app to use the Ulticam IQ V2 Wired AI Camera?
No. Any Matter hub can set up and control the Ulticam IQ V2 Wired AI Camera without the Ulticam app. Some advanced features may not be part of Matter yet, so settings like firmware updates or special modes can still require the Ulticam app.
How do I set up the Ulticam IQ V2 Wired AI Camera?
Open your smart home app, choose to add a device and scan the Matter QR code on the Ulticam IQ V2 Wired AI Camera or its packaging. You can also type in the 11-digit Matter code instead. The app guides you through the rest. Keep the code safe, you need it again after a reset.
