March Networks and VIVOTEK have jointly announced the merger of VIVOTEK’s branded business (OBM) with March Networks.
According to the company, this merge will allow greater scale and a stronger, end-to-end video security portfolio spanning cloud, hybrid and on-premise video surveillance environments.
Together, the two companies combine complementary strengths in enterprise video management, AI-powered analytics, advanced cameras and cloud services to accelerate innovation and expand their global security ecosystem.
“Driving greater scale and accelerating long-term growth”
Following the closing, which is expected in mid-April, the combined organisation will be led by Peter Strom, President and CEO of March Networks.
Strom explained: “This integration is about driving greater scale and accelerating long-term growth.
“By bringing together two market leaders with highly complementary strengths, we are expanding our capabilities and creating new opportunities to deliver more value to our customers and partners,” Strom added.
“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.”
Strom concluded: “Together, we are better positioned to help our partners grow and enable their customers to operate more securely and efficiently.”
Availability
For customers and partners, the merger expands the available solution portfolio while maintaining the same trusted brands, support teams and technology platforms they rely on today.
VIVOTEK said that its manufacturing (ODM) business will continue to operate independently, while its branded business (OBM) combines with March Networks.

The companies said that together, the combined organisation significantly expands its global scale and innovation capacity, including:
- Operations across six continents and more than 70 countries, with expected annual revenue of over $200 million USD
- More than 300 engineers in R&D across four Centers of Excellence in Ottawa, Taipei, Poland and Italy
