It sounds like you’re thinking of LoRa, another 900MHz radio protocol.
LoRa has similar bandwidth to Zigbee (125kbps), and as you say is designed for low-power devices running on battery. I have PIR motion sensors at home which have used only around a third of their battery after 2 years.
Security cameras seems to be a large target market for HaLow though, where you need a couple of megabits at a few hundred metres.

I’ve never heard of LoRa. The marketing and whitepapers for HaLow specifically mention the things I did, for example https://www.wi-fi.org/discover-wi-fi/wi-fi-certified-halow
