VIVOTEK and March Networks® are set to demonstrate their innovative AI and cloud solutions at the upcoming Security Canada West 2026.

The event, scheduled for June 3 at the Sheraton Vancouver Airport Hotel in Richmond, British Columbia, will provide a platform for the companies to present their advancements in video surveillance and business intelligence.

Innovative video search technologies

Visitors to booth #706 will have the opportunity to explore VIVOTEK’s Think Search and March Networks’ Searchlight AI, technologies designed to streamline video search functions and enhance operational decision-making. VIVOTEK will showcase Think Search, an advanced video search tool powered by Vision-Language Models and integrated into the VORTEX hybrid cloud platform. This feature allows users to employ sophisticated video analytics in a seamless manner.

March Networks will highlight Searchlight AI, a cutting-edge AI feature for its Searchlight Cloud service, which facilitates the interaction with video and operational data through natural language queries. This innovation simplifies the way organisations derive insights from their video data, providing direct connections to video evidence.

Enhanced video data analysis

This collaboration delivers comprehensive video security through AI, cameras and cloud servicesAlbert Lin, Chief Sales Officer for VIVOTEK, emphasised the transformative capabilities of Think Search, stating, “Think Search transforms the way users find what matters most. Within seconds, users can locate people, vehicles, or events using simple natural language queries.

This system allows users to bypass manual footage review, delivering precise results for queries like 'man in a red jacket entering after midnight' or 'white SUV near loading dock.'

Integration for comprehensive solutions

Earlier this year, VIVOTEK and March Networks announced a strategic go-to-market integration, merging VIVOTEK’s branded business with March Networks.

This collaboration brings together strengths in enterprise video management, AI analytics, advanced camera technology, and cloud services, enabling the delivery of comprehensive video security solutions across cloud, hybrid, and on-premise environments.

Simplifying business intelligence

March Networks’ Searchlight AI further enhances its Searchlight Cloud platform by transforming complex operational data into quick, conversational insights. This business intelligence platform connects data from various IoT devices like POS systems and ATMs to video surveillance.

Jeff Corrall, Chief Product Officer of March Networks, explained, “Searchlight AI changes how customers search, analyse, and act on data connected to video. Users can ask a question and quickly review insights, helping them dig deeper and better understand what’s happening across their business.
