Vicon Unveils the Next Evolution of Camera Technology with its New Modular Camera System, NEXT™

Published

on

Vicon Industries, Inc. today unveiled its next-generation camera platform, NEXT™, a modular camera system that redefines the way security integrators and end-users install, operate, and support their camera systems. NEXT empowers customers to reduce installation time from hours to minutes, harness the most powerful AI processing capabilities on the market, and deploy advanced onboard technologies—all in a sleek, future-ready package.

HAUPPAUGE, N.Y., Nov. 12, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Vicon Industries, Inc., a subsidiary of Cemtrex, Inc. (Nasdaq: CETX, CETXP), a designer and manufacturer of cloud-based and on-prem physical security solutions, today unveiled its next-generation camera platform, NEXT™, a modular camera system that redefines the way security integrators and end-users install, operate, and support their camera systems. NEXT empowers customers to reduce installation time from hours to minutes, harness the most powerful AI processing capabilities on the market, and deploy advanced onboard technologies—all in a sleek, future-ready package.

“NEXT embodies our vision of security technology as more than passive recording—it is an active tool that delivers intelligence,” said Saagar Govil, CEO of Vicon Industries. “With NEXT, we started from scratch, seeking to redefine what a camera can be.”

NEXT’s groundbreaking patented snap-and-twist design lets installers set up a camera in under five minutes, with no specialized tools required. Once installed, remote positioning allows installers—and even end users—to set the perfect field-of-view from anywhere within seconds. Additionally, its unique modular design with interchangeable components supports endless customer applications without the need for additional training or tools.

“Saving up to 45 minutes of setup time per camera gives our partners a powerful advantage, especially when you need to install hundreds of cameras on a job site,” said Haim Shain, Sr. Vice President of Product Management. “Furthermore, because of the easy setup, built-in intelligence, and remote positioning, they won’t have to return to the site just to adjust the field-of-view, re-tune the camera, clean the lens, etc., which means integrators can spend less time servicing old business and focus more on winning new customers. This efficiency cuts their project costs tremendously, which can help them be more competitive in their bids, ultimately delivering more to their bottom lines.”

With industry-leading AI processing capabilities, NEXT brings powerful intelligence right to the camera, enabling security professionals to quickly identify incidents and suspects. NEXT’s advanced color forensics can pinpoint specific clothing and vehicle colors, while smart object classification instantly distinguishes between people, vehicles, and animals. Real-time analytics take it further, detecting potential threats like loitering and intrusions before they escalate.

NEXT’s unmatched processing power also drives its groundbreaking AI Vision, which adds a layer of intelligence to traditional video for sharper, clearer, less pixelated images with better color integrity. The Artificial Intelligent Retina (AI-R) delivers color images 24/7, allowing users to leverage their color-driven analytics around the clock.

Packed with innovative technologies, NEXT includes high-powered microphones with a 50-foot range and 360° commercial-grade speakers for real-time audio warnings and communications. Additionally, the dome contains programmable signal lightbars to communicate situational awareness status to indicate threats, warnings or other operational conditions.

“NEXT embodies our vision of security technology as more than passive recording—it is an active tool that delivers intelligence,” said Saagar Govil, CEO of Vicon Industries. “Most security cameras today are outdated, built on disjointed technologies that have been stacked on top of each other for over 50 years. With NEXT, we started from scratch, seeking to redefine what a camera can be. NEXT possesses features that truly address modern organizations’ unique security needs and integration challenges that come with them.”

“That’s why we built NEXT from the ground up with the latest AI technology—ten times more powerful than our award-winning Roughneck AI cameras,” added Shain. “Customers who invest in the NEXT solution today will benefit from frequent and regular future enhancements, many of which are already on deck. For example, additional advanced on-board technologies, like AI noise cancellation and the seamless integration with IoT devices, will be available via a simple firmware update in the very near future. Additionally, the modular design of NEXT lends itself to an expanding ecosystem of sensors to further support the growing needs of today’s businesses.”

NEXT integrates seamlessly into Vicon’s existing ecosystem, enhancing intelligent forensic searches within both Valerus, Vicon’s on-premise Video Management System, and Anavio, its cloud-based platform. With Anavio, NEXT also supports face-based People Search, enabling users to track suspicious individuals throughout their facilities with precision and ease.

Additionally, Vicon is currently certifying NEXT with the industry’s other top video management systems, allowing customers to leverage the camera’s innovative features without having to rip and replace their existing systems and infrastructure.

“NEXT represents a strategic shift for Vicon,” Govil continued. “By integrating with other major video management systems, we’re expanding beyond our own ecosystem to deliver broader value in the security market. Many enterprises are not in the position to switch video management systems, but they can still take advantage of NEXT’s benefits with its seamless integration into their existing platform. The process is already underway, and we expect final certification with the top five video management systems prior to shipping.”

Vicon is taking orders now, and the NEXT solution will start shipping in Q1 2025.

In conjunction with the announcement, Vicon is kicking off a webinar series to showcase NEXT, with an exclusive webinar scheduled for November 14 for existing Vicon customers. The company will be exhibiting at upcoming tradeshows, starting with ISC East at the Jacob Javitz Center in New York City (November 19-21).

LOS ANGELES, Nov. 25, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Cineverse Podcast Network, the audio division of next-gen entertainment studio Cineverse (Nasdaq: CNVS), has today announced a major expansion that goes well beyond its horror roots.

The popular show at the intersection of true crime and historical hauntings has attracted 1.3 million monthly downloads since premiering in September and joins other additions to Cineverse’s growing podcast portfolio:

The iconic horror brand Dead Meat brings its dedicated fan base and over 200 episodes to Cineverse with the recently signed Dead Meat Podcast, hosted by Chelsea Rebecca and James A.

Hosts Malcolm Crawford, C2 and “it’s Eman” – three well-known anime fans – explore the hidden gems and popular shows featured on Cineverse’s RetroCrush streaming channel in weekly episodes.

“From partnering with talent and IP that come with pre-existing fan bases, to leveraging our owned-and-operated brands like Bloody Disgusting, Midnight Pulp and RetroCrush – all part of the company through strategic acquisitions from the past few years – we have quietly built one of the industry’s top podcast networks,” said Cineverse President and Chief Strategy Officer Erick Opeka. “Creators and partners – including advertisers, platforms and studios – are seeing this success and now coming to us to explore opportunities to work together in audio, and we are well-positioned to grow even further in the new year.”

These new podcasts follow other recently released shows on the Cineverse Podcast Network:

Mayfair Watchers Society: The chart-topping fiction podcast returned in May with Season 2, featuring 24 episodes every other week. Created in partnership with Trevor Henderson, the author of Scarewaves and prominent horror artist, the series brings Henderson’s creatures to life and features a full cast, original music and immersive sound design.Nightmare Soup: The horror fiction anthology podcast also premiered earlier this year, taking listeners back to their favorite horror stories from childhood.

The fanatical focus on the end consumer also serves Neighborly’s core mission of driving same-store sales growth with its franchise business owners.

I am thrilled to be joining the incredible team at Neighborly and support our franchise owners,” said Bourgeois. “Customers invite Neighborly and our brands into their homes, which is deeply personal and requires tremendous trust. My goal is to earn this trust by listening to and innovating for customers in a way that builds lasting relationships with our amazing brands.”
