Moving to their own SoC isn't that surprising, but I thought Ambarella had long since exited this space, and put all its ponies in the Cell phone and IoT space.

No, Ambarella is a pretty significant supplier for IP cameras, both commercial and residential.

Indeed, as their GoPro business declined, Ambarella is now mostly a security camera SoC provider, as this slide from their recent investor deck shows:

Update: Hanwha Techwin says that:

All L series and most Q series cameras (except QNE-7080RV/VW) have been migrated to Ambarella.

There are a handful of P series models that will be transitioned between Q1-Q4 this year.

Here is a picture of the SoC of one of the new Q series cameras with the Ambarella chip. The camera is made in Vietnam or South Korea.
