Xthings Unveils Xthings One: The On-Prem Security Command Center That Unifies Video, Access, and Workforce Intelligence

Debuting at ISC West, Xthings One replaces fragmented security tools with a single, AI-powered edge platform – no cloud dependency required

LAS VEGAS and SAN JOSE, Calif., March 25, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — At ISC West 2026, Xthings, a global leader in AIoT and smart security, today introduced Xthings One, a modular, on-premises security command center designed for organizations seeking to unify video surveillance, access control, and workforce intelligence in a single edge platform. Xthings One unifies video surveillance, access control, time and attendance, and visitor management into a single edge-based platform, giving business owners and security teams the clarity and control that fragmented systems have long failed to deliver.

Xthings One brings cameras, access control, time tracking, and visitor management into a single on-premises command center running locally on Xthings Station edge appliances.

Xthings One brings cameras, access control, time tracking, and visitor management into a single on-premises command center running locally on Xthings Station edge appliances.

Xthings One runs on the Xthings Station series, a family of compact edge appliances designed to deploy the platform directly on-site. Powered by dedicated AI compute modules, the Station series processes video analytics, access events, and operational data locally, eliminating dependence on cloud infrastructure while providing a scalable foundation for unified security and operations.

For too long, SMBs have been caught between enterprise platforms that are too complex and consumer tools that don’t scale. Cameras, doors, time clocks, and visitor logs live in separate systems, each with its own subscription, dashboard, and blind spots. When an incident occurs, there is no single place to see the full picture. Xthings One changes that by bringing everything into one timeline, one dashboard, and one source of truth, all running locally on Xthings Station edge appliance, powered by 25 TOPS of AI compute.

“Security for small businesses is broken, not because of hardware, but because of fragmentation,” said Raj Sundar, Senior Director of Product Management at Xthings. “Xthings One gives every business a professional-grade security command center that’s simple to deploy, doesn’t depend on the cloud, and grows with them over time. You start with one problem and scale with confidence.”

One Platform, Multiple Starting Points

Xthings One is designed so businesses can start with the problem that matters most to them, then expand as their needs evolve, all on the same system, with one learning curve.

  • SecureSite (Video + Incidents): AI-powered video surveillance with detection for people, vehicles, and perimeter events. Smart zones reduce false alarms, access events are automatically linked to video, and a built-in incident workflow moves teams from detection to resolution: acknowledge, assign, resolve, and audit.
  • DoorControl (Access + Audit): Enterprise-grade access control without enterprise complexity. Centralized credentials and schedules, fast employee onboarding and offboarding, compliance-ready audit logs, and life-safety integrations including fire release and offline mode.
  • TimeGuard (Time + Attendance): Presence-verified time tracking that ties clock-in and clock-out to physical access and location. Flexible shift scheduling, real-time attendance visibility, and payroll-ready exports that integrate directly with existing accounting systems.
  • GuestFlow (Visitor Management Add-On): A digital visitor experience with self-check-in, pre-registration, temporary access that expires automatically, and a full audit trail, giving businesses a professional front door with built-in security and compliance.

One Timeline. One Source of Truth.

What sets Xthings One apart is how it links every event – video, door access, and time records, into a single, correlated timeline. When a door opens, the nearest camera clip is automatically bookmarked. When an employee clocks in, their presence is validated against access data. When a visitor checks in, their access and video trace are logged together. No more switching between systems, no more guessing. Every event carries context.

Real-Time AI, Processed On-Device

Xthings One runs entirely on the Xthings Station series edge appliances, which provide dedicated AI compute and local storage for video, access events, and operational intelligence.

All video analytics run locally on the Xthings One edge station’s 25 TOPS AI compute module; no raw video is sent to the cloud. Capabilities span three domains of intelligence: security and safety (intrusion detection, loitering, suspicious activity detection, real-time incident alerts), operational intelligence (occupancy monitoring, PPE compliance, behavior and anomaly detection), and vehicle intelligence (license plate recognition, vehicle tracking, parking and loading-zone monitoring). The on-prem architecture is designed for privacy-sensitive environments, with biometric templates for facial recognition and fingerprint authentication stored and matched locally.

A Unified Hardware Ecosystem

Xthings One supports a broad range of devices managed from a single console: access control readers, intelligent locks, and biometric attendance terminals for identity and access; ONVIF-compatible IP cameras for indoor and outdoor surveillance; turnstiles, barrier gates, and perimeter intrusion sensors for flow and perimeter control; and visitor registration kiosks for front-of-house management. The platform uses PoE connectivity to simplify installation and reduce maintenance costs.

Built for Channel Partners

Xthings One is designed with installers and integrators in mind. Faster installs through PoE and edge deployment, fewer systems to support, and a clear upsell path, from doors to video to time to visitors, make it easier to sell and easier to support. The platform delivers SMB-friendly deployment with enterprise credibility.

See Xthings One at ISC West

Xthings One will be on display at ISC West 2026 at the Xthings booth: [Booth #32061].

Lanbow Open-Sources $10M Worth of Meta Ad Execution Experience as It Builds an Enterprise Growth Decision System

VANCOUVER, BC, March 25, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Lanbow, an enterprise growth decision system built by Sandwich Lab, today announced the open-source release of Lanbow Claw Skill — a callable capability unit in the OpenClaw agent framework — that packages Meta ad execution logic and validation rules into an inspectable, reusable decision loop. The Skill is now live on ClawHub and GitHub.

With this release, Lanbow open-sources its single-campaign execution capabilities while directing its full resources toward the enterprise decision layer: cross-campaign capital allocation, multi-market strategy coordination, and continuously evolving decision models.

“We built this execution layer through hundreds of real campaigns and millions in ad spend. Now that Skills and CLI make it possible to ship that as a single callable unit, we’re opening it up,” said Dr. Zhenyu Guo, founder and CEO of Sandwich Lab. “Our focus going forward is the decision layer above it — where capital allocation, strategy coordination, and institutional learning compound over time. That’s what Lanbow Enterprise delivers.”

What’s Open-Sourced — and What Isn’t

Lanbow Claw Skill is the execution layer — made open. It connects four capabilities in one decision loop:

Insight Report — Structures campaign signals into decision-ready insight reports.

Creative Direction — Generates creative directions grounded in strategy inputs.

Meta Ad Launch — Translates strategic direction into executable Meta campaign configurations.

Performance Loop — Returns execution results to the decision layer for the next cycle.

One Skill connects all four stages into a continuous loop — observe, decide, execute, and iterate — each cycle compounding on the last.

Lanbow’s enterprise decision layer — cross-campaign capital allocation, multi-market coordination, and reinforcement-based decision models — is available through Lanbow Enterprise.

Technical Proof Points

The Skill is 5,291 lines of TypeScript with 3 runtime dependencies. Zero global state, isolated dependency graphs, no side effects between calls — built for AI agent execution.

Over ~200 campaign sessions, Skill-based orchestration achieved a 92%+ campaign completion rate, up from ~60% in the earlier MCP-only phase.

Costly Meta API edge cases — budget mutual exclusion errors, bid strategy misconfigurations, non-standard video upload authentication — are embedded as local validation rules. Caught before requests are sent, not after money is spent.

Industry Recognition

Sandwich Lab was selected for the AI Accelerate programme run by Microsoft and BLOCK71 (NUS Enterprise) in early 2026. In March, Dr. Guo joined the JUMPSTARTER 2026 Centre Stage panel hosted by Alibaba Entrepreneurs Fund, and Lanbow exhibited at the 2026 AWS Go Global Conference in Shenzhen.

Xthings Brings Wi-Fi HaLow to Commercial Security with Two New Ulticam Long-Range AI Camera Systems Built for Large-Scale Properties

Showcasing at ISC West, the Ulticam Long-Range Wireless AI Security Kit and Wireless Long Range 8-Camera Bullet Kit deliver sub-GHz wireless coverage up to 1 km, on-device AI analytics, and free cloud storage with no recurring fees

LAS VEGAS and SAN JOSE, Calif., March 25, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Today, at ISC West 2026, Xthings, a global leader in AIoT and smart security, unveiled two new Ulticam Wi-Fi HaLow long-range camera systems, designed to solve the most persistent and expensive problems in commercial security: reliably covering large, complex, and hard-to-wire properties without running cable. 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.

Ulticam Wi-Fi HaLow long-range camera systems deliver wireless security coverage across large properties — reaching distances up to 1 kilometer from a single gateway without trenching or cable runs.
Ulticam Wi-Fi HaLow long-range camera systems deliver wireless security coverage across large properties — reaching distances up to 1 kilometer from a single gateway without trenching or cable runs.

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 Raj Sundar, Senior Director of Product Management at Xthings. “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 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 8-channel NVR with dual 3.5″ HDD bays for extended on-prem 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 PIR-based 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 and HDR for reliable imaging in demanding lighting conditions.

DeriW Launches Edge Hour: Time-Limited Trading Challenge with $1M Prize Pool

HONG KONG, March 25, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — DeriW, a decentralized perpetual derivatives trading platform incubated by CoinW, today unveiled Edge Hour, a time-limited trading challenge initiative designed to allow wider participation in skill-based competitive trading with a low entry barrier.

The inaugural season of Edge Hour features a $1 million prize pool. Participants can enter with an entry fee as low as $5 and complete an hours-long trading challenge, with the potential to earn up to 10x their entry fee in rewards based on challenge performance.

Since its mainnet debut in August last year, DeriW has attracted over 67,000 registered users, with cumulative trading volume exceeding $37.4 billion. Edge Hour builds on this momentum by evolving trading from a purely strategic activity into a competitive test of skill — blending elements of gaming, competition, and authentic market dynamics.

From Weeks to One Hour: Pioneering Fast-Paced Trading Challenge

Edge Hour introduces a groundbreaking format that combines real-market trading with short-duration competitive mechanics.

Traders can enter challenges lasting one to eight hours by paying a modest entry fee from $5 to $200. Once meeting their predefined profit targets without exceeding drawdown limits, they can earn rewards of two to ten times their entry fee, depending on individual trading performance.

“Compared to traditional trading contests and prop trading tasks, Edge Hour compresses the challenge period from weeks down to as little as one hour, enabling users to test and sharpen their skills more rapidly in real market conditions,” said Tharaka Kahaduwa, PR Manager at CoinW. “The low entry threshold of $5 makes the challenge accessible to a wider range of traders.”


Equal Capital and Anti-Exploitation Rules: Driving Skill-Based Success

During the challenge, each entrant receives a standardized $10,000 virtual trading account to execute trade. All transactions are recorded onchain, providing transparent and verifiable results.

To curb speculation, the program enforces strict rules, including a minimum 60-second holding period per trade, a cap on single-trade profits at 75% of the target, and minimum trade counts scaled to challenge duration.

Edge Hour operates on DeriW’s proprietary Layer 3 chain built on Arbitrum Orbit with zero-gas transactions, millisecond-level confirmations, and optimized liquidity matching. Traders can execute strategies efficiently without transaction costs eroding returns.

The platform also introduces social incentives to boost engagement. During challenges, users can invite friends to join, earning a reward equal to 5% of their unachieved profit target per invitation, while invitees receive 5% extra challenge time and a 10% entry fee discount.

By combining standardized conditions, time-bound competition and onchain settlement, Edge Hour establishes a new category in decentralized trading: a gamified yet authentic arena for proving and honing trading expertise.

“Edge Hour represents a major milestone in DeriW’s evolution,” Kahaduwa said. “Looking ahead, DeriW remains committed to expanding trading pairs and innovating product offerings to deliver a secure, efficient, and reliable decentralized perpetual trading platform for users worldwide.”
