Vivotek unveils its new VSaaS, VORTEX, at ISC WEST

VIVOTEK, the global IP surveillance provider, is pleased to announce the solution preview of VORTEX, VIVOTEK’s new cloud-based video surveillance as a service (VSaaS). By integrating deep-learning-based cameras with cloud hosting services, VORTEX can process multiple data streams (video, audio, and analytics metadata), issue incident alerts, and perform video searches using metadata.

The service is built on cloud architecture, making multi-site surveillance both simple and cost-effective. VORTEX is accessible via APP or web browser, making surveillance control and management easier and smarter than ever. VORTEX will be on display at VIVOTEK’s booth (No. 22015) at ISC WEST 2022.

Cloud-based VSaaS

“The official name of VIVOTEK’s proprietary cloud-based VSaaS is VORTEX. VORTEX is a key component of our development strategy, which focuses on centralising information, data, and video content in secure storage space and breaking free from conventional spatiotemporal restrictions to enhance security and efficiency,” says ShengFu Cheng, Vice President of Strategic Business of VIVOTEK. 

“VORTEX is intuitive and time/cost-efficient. Recognising the tremendous potential of hosted surveillance services, we have selected North America as the initial release location. VORTEX will be a strong competitor in the VSaaS market.”

Remote monitoring and flexible

The camera firmware can be maintained and deployed remotely after confirmation by the user

VIVOTEK’s VORTEX is easy to set up and use, smart, and flexible. No camera or back-end software configuration is needed. Just set up the user account and scan the QR code, and the camera will automatically connect to the cloud and start recording. Creating custom analytics rules is simple and intuitive.

Alert notifications are set automatically for both app and web browser usage. The camera firmware, including analytics, can be maintained and deployed remotely after confirmation by the user.

Efficiency and effectiveness 

Because it incorporates deep-learning technology, VORTEX offers several major features that increase efficiency and effectiveness, saving both cost and time when operating the system. Users can receive alerts and review, archive, and share video footage through a mobile device anywhere, anytime. Video searches filtering attributes of people and vehicles across cameras can be done within seconds.

By leveraging VIVOTEK’s expertise in the design and manufacture of network cameras, VORTEX provides a flexible VSaaS camera portfolio at an affordable price to help users meet a wide range of installation needs on a budget.
