March Networks and VIVOTEK join forces in the video security market

March 24, 2026

The two providers, March Networks and VIVOTEK, have announced the merger of VIVOTEK’s branded video security business with March Networks. The aim is to strengthen both companies’ market position and provide a more comprehensive portfolio of video surveillance solutions. The transaction is expected to be completed in mid-April 2026.

The integration will create combined expertise in the areas of video management, AI-powered analytics, camera technology and cloud-based services. Whilst March Networks is particularly well-known for scalable enterprise solutions and business intelligence functions, VIVOTEK brings its expertise in the development of IP cameras, AI applications and direct-to-cloud technologies.

For customers and partners, the merger primarily means an expansion of the solution portfolio whilst maintaining stable structures. Existing brands, platforms and points of contact are to be retained, whilst additional integration opportunities and technological synergies are created.

The combined organisation will operate in more than 70 countries and have a global partner network comprising over 1,000 certified integrators. More than 300 development engineers across several international locations are set to further expand the company’s capacity for innovation. Following the completion of the integration, the former CEO of March Networks will take the helm.

Strategically, the merger addresses the rising demand for integrated, AI-based video security solutions that support both on-premises and cloud-based architectures. At the same time, VIVOTEK’s manufacturing business will remain organisationally separate.

By pooling their resources, both companies are responding to the growing demand for scalable, connected security solutions and strengthening their position in the global marketplace.
