March Networks®, renowned for its video surveillance solutions and business intelligence, has unveiled its 2026 mid-year product updates, featuring enhanced AI-driven search capabilities, innovative cloud video intelligence, expanded support for VIVOTEK cameras, and integration with C•CURE access control systems.
This release marks a significant development following the April 2026 merger of VIVOTEK's branded business with March Networks. The partnership introduces Connected Intelligence for Modern Security, an initiative aimed at integrating video, data, and AI across multiple platforms.
Enhanced Cloud Video Intelligence
Organizations often face challenges in integrating extensive video, operational data, and security information. March Networks addresses this by connecting video, data, and AI to highlight critical insights, aiding faster investigations and uncovering hidden patterns.

"Customers do not need more disconnected systems or more data. They need the intelligence that comes when video, data and AI work together," remarked Peter Strom, President and CEO of the combined entity. This update advances current solutions and offers new ways to connect cameras, access control, and business systems with VIVOTEK technologies, aligning with a broader vision of creating intelligent, connected businesses.
Patterns and Opportunities
The concept of Connected Intelligence for Modern Security encapsulates March Networks and VIVOTEK's approach to integrating video, data, and AI across various platforms. By connecting cameras, operational data, AI, and workflows, organizations can uncover risks, patterns, and opportunities that often go unnoticed in isolated systems. This strategy is supported by three core pillars:
- Connect the Ecosystem - Integrating cameras, access control, systems, and workflows to minimize fragmentation in existing environments.
- Turn Sight into Insight - Utilizing AI-powered search and analytics for quick, validated operational insights.
- Extend Intelligence Everywhere - Making intelligence accessible across numerous locations and environments through on-premise, hybrid, and cloud solutions.
Expanding Enterprise Video Management
The 2026 update enhances March Networks and VIVOTEK's comprehensive portfolio
The 2026 update enhances March Networks and VIVOTEK's comprehensive portfolio, including enterprise video management, AI-powered investigation, and cloud services integration.
This aligns with their Connected Intelligence for Modern Security strategy, enabling organizations to transform sight into actionable insight. According to Strom, the integration of video, AI, transactions, and data has helped uncover significant losses in organized retail fraud, previously undetected by traditional methods.
March Networks plans to showcase these advancements alongside VIVOTEK at the Global Security Exchange (GSX) 2026 in Atlanta and at the Security Exhibition & Conference 2026 in Sydney. Attendees will witness how connected video, data, and AI empower operators to focus on crucial aspects across various industries from single to multiple sites.
March Networks®, a pioneer in video surveillance and business intelligence, announces its 2026 mid-year product release, introducing expanded AI-powered search, new cloud video intelligence, broader VIVOTEK camera support and integration with C•CURE access control.
The release is the first since the April 2026 merger of VIVOTEK’s branded business with March Networks. It marks the introduction of Connected Intelligence for Modern Security, the company's strategic approach to connecting video, data and AI across every system and site.
Cloud video intelligence
Organizations already capture vast amounts of video, operational data and security information. The challenge is making those systems work together. When information remains isolated, important patterns, risks, and opportunities can go unseen.
March Networks connects video, data and AI to reveal what matters, helping customers investigate faster, uncover hidden patterns and act with greater confidence. “Customers do not need more disconnected systems or more data. They need the intelligence that comes when video, data and AI work together,” said Peter Strom, President and CEO of the combined March Networks and VIVOTEK organization. “This release advances the March Networks solutions our customers use today, and creates more ways to connect cameras, access control, business systems and VIVOTEK technologies. It is an important step in our broader vision for connected, intelligent businesses.”
Patterns and opportunities
Connected Intelligence for Modern Security defines how March Networks and VIVOTEK bring video, data and AI together to surface what matters across every system, sensor and site.
At the center of this approach is a clear promise:
- Connecting cameras, operational data, AI and workflows through one intelligence layer helps organizations uncover risks, patterns and opportunities that isolated systems often miss.
The strategic approach is built on three pillars:
- Connect the Ecosystem - Every camera. Every system. Every site.
- Connect cameras, access control, third-party systems, devices, data sources and workflows to reduce fragmentation across the environments customers already manage.
- Turn Sight into Insight - AI that reveals hidden patterns.
- AI-powered search, analytics and reporting help businesses find, validate and act on critical evidence and operational insights faster.
- Extend Intelligence Everywhere - From one site to thousands. On-Premise. Hybrid. Cloud.
- Connected solutions make intelligence accessible across roles, sites, devices and operating environments, allowing customers to deploy and scale technology based on their security, operational and infrastructure needs.
- Together, these pillars connect physical security, operations and intelligence at enterprise scale, helping customers move from sight to insight, faster action and better business results.
The 2026 mid-year release expands March Networks and VIVOTEK's end-to-end portfolio across enterprise video management, business intelligence, AI-powered investigation, cloud services and third-party system integration. These capabilities put Connected Intelligence for Modern Security into action today and set the direction for what comes next.
Enterprise video management
“We have seen firsthand what's possible when customers connect video, AI, transactions and operational data,” said Strom. “For example, these connections helped a large retail organization uncover nearly $1 million in organized retail fraud that traditional reporting and manual video review had missed. When intelligence is connected and systems work together, hidden losses become visible, investigations become faster and data becomes decisive.”
