VIVOTEK has announced the integration of its Deep Search Plugin into the Network Optix (Nx) platform, aimed at enabling VIVOTEK’s AI camera search functions to run within the Nx video management interface.
According to the company, the integration is designed to support incident review and investigation without requiring operators to change existing Nx workflows.
The Deep Search Plugin includes several search functions. Scene Search allows users to draw video content analysis rules—such as intrusion, line crossing and loitering—on recorded video to find events even if those rules were not set up as alarms. Attribute Search supports filtering by person and vehicle type, clothing colour, and accessories. A further feature, Re-Search, is intended to allow users to select a face or body “vector” from search results to track the same individual across multiple camera feeds; the companies said this is scheduled for release in a future update.
VIVOTEK vice president Shengfu Cheng said the aim was to embed edge AI functions within the Nx platform to support investigations and operational efficiency, and that interoperability and scalability were becoming more important as AI adoption increases in security operations.
Network Optix’s James Cox said the integration was an example of how an open platform can give customers choices in how they apply edge AI while remaining within the Nx interface.
The plugin is listed on the Nx Marketplace. VIVOTEK said the integration would be showcased at ISC West this year.
