March Networks and VIVOTEK merge branded video security businesses

Together, the two companies combine complementary strengths in enterprise video management, Artificial Intelligence (AI)-powered analytics, advanced cameras and cloud services to accelerate innovation and expand their global security ecosystem.

Following the closing of the merger deal, which is expected in mid-April, the combined organisation will be led by Peter Strom, president and CEO of March Networks.

“This integration is about driving greater scale and accelerating long-term growth,” said Strom. “By bringing together two market leaders with highly complementary strengths, we are expanding our capabilities and creating new opportunities to deliver more value for our customers and partners.”

Strom continued: “March Networks’ leadership in enterprise video management, analytics and business intelligence combines with VIVOTEK’s camera innovation, AI capabilities and direct-to-cloud video technologies to deliver a more powerful end-to-end portfolio. Together, we are better positioned to help our partners grow and enable their customers to operate more securely and efficiently.”

For customers and partners, the merger expands the available solution portfolio, while maintaining the same trusted brands, support teams and technology platforms upon which they rely.

For clarity, VIVOTEK’s manufacturing (ODM) business will continue to operate independently, while its branded business (OBM) combines with March Networks.

Stronger together 

March Networks is known for scalable, reliable and secure enterprise video solutions used by the world’s largest banks, retailers, transit agencies and other commercial customers. VIVOTEK is recognised for its broad portfolio of NDAA-compliant IP cameras, leading AI analytics and VORTEX, the company’s direct-to-cloud video solution, which is purpose-designed for simplified deployment and cloud video management.

Together, the combined organisation significantly expands its global scale and innovation capacity, including operations across six continents and more than 70 countries, upwards of 300 engineers in R&D roles across four Centres of Excellence in Ottawa, Taipei, Poland and Italy and an expansive network of more than 1,100 certified channel partners worldwide.

“This is a seamless transition for our customers and partners,” said Net Payne, chief sales and marketing officer at March Networks. “They will continue working with the same teams they know and trust, while benefiting from greater scale, more choice and broader global coverage.”

Payne concluded: “Whether you’re an existing technology partner, part of our channel ecosystem or an end customer using our products, we remain wholly committed to delivering the value you’ve come to expect from each company.”

The combination will take effect following Delta Electronics’ purchase of the remaining VIVOTEK shares it doesn’t already own, which is expected to be completed in mid-April.

Both brands will be exhibiting during ISC West 2026, which runs from 25-27 March at the Venetian Expo and Convention Centre in Las Vegas. March Networks is on Stand 23035 and VIVOTEK on Stand 22043.
