Until now the XCAM range covered the basics: a discreet camera, a wide-angle camera and a flexible compact. Five new models fill in the gaps people kept asking about — and take the range outdoors for the first time.
XCAM Pro — $58.99
The answer to congested home networks. WiFi 6 with Bluetooth pairs faster and holds a steadier stream when dozens of devices share the same band, which is the single most common cause of stuttering camera feeds in flats. A 1/4-inch thread and snap-on bracket mount it to tripods, bike handlebars, walls and shelves. 1080P, 130° lens, ~6 hours on a 1200mAh battery.

XCAM Max — $49.99
The endurance model. At 1600mAh it has the largest battery in the range — about 8 hours of continuous 1080P recording, recharged in roughly an hour. That fast recharge is the underrated part: a camera you can top up over lunch fits into a daily routine in a way a four-hour charge does not. Also on WiFi 6, and available in black or white.

XCAM Ultra — $78.99
The highest resolution in the range at 1296P, and the only model with 940nm infrared. Most cameras use 850nm IR, which emits a faint red glow that is clearly visible in a dark room — effectively announcing where the camera is. 940nm is outside the visible range and produces no glow at all. ~8 hours on a 1400mAh battery, up to 256GB storage.

XCAM 4K — $159.99
The first XCAM built for outdoors. True 4K at 30fps in an IP65-rated body weighing 43.5g, with a 142° wide angle — small enough to clip to a jacket, helmet or bag strap and forget about. Note that IP65 covers rain, splashes and dust, not submersion.

XCAM 4K Pro — $199.99
The same 4K/30fps and IP65 rating, plus 6-axis optical image stabilisation and the widest field of view in the entire range at 156°. OIS physically compensates for shake rather than cropping and smoothing in software, which is what makes helmet and bike footage watchable rather than nauseating.

What has not changed
All five record locally to microSD with no subscription and no cloud account, and all can record while charging over USB. The three security models keep infrared night vision; the two action cameras do not have it, as they are built for daylight outdoor use.
Working out which one
Eight models is a lot to choose between, so the XCAM comparison guide now puts all of them side by side on price, resolution, battery, field of view, night vision, storage and weight. If you are starting from scratch, the buying guide covers which specifications actually matter.
