OTTAWA, Canada — Global cloud-based intelligent video surveillance provider March Networks is celebrating its 25th anniversary this month, marking a quarter of a century “at the forefront of the security and business intelligence industries.”
In that time, the company has prided itself on “driving innovation in video surveillance and delivering solutions that help businesses around the world secure and improve their operations,” the company announcement says.
Since its founding in 2000, March Networks has “become a trusted partner for thousands of organizations in retail, banking, transportation and more,” according to the company announcement. The company has “consistently pushed boundaries by introducing advanced, yet practical technology that empowers businesses with actionable insights and advanced video analytics.”
How March Networks Reached Its 25th Anniversary
Over the years, March Networks has pioneered solutions that have helped our customers migrate from analog to IP video surveillance, and from on-premise systems to hybrid and cloud-based platforms that turn video into a proactive business tool.
Starting with the 4000 Series hybrid NVRs and the scalability of Enterprise Services Manager (ESM) central management software, March Networks “earned the trust of many of the world’s largest companies, securing deployments across thousands of locations,” according to the company announcement.
The company” was the first to centralize all ATM transaction data across thousands of ATMs and seamlessly correlate it with surveillance video in a single, unified enterprise system,” the announcement says.
March Networks later introduced the next-generation 8000 Series NVRs and evolved ESM into Command Enterprise Software (CES) enterprise video management system. In 2005, the company reached another milestone with an initial public offering, becoming the first company to achieve a dual listing on the TSX and AIM. Now, March Networks is owned by global power and thermal management solutions provider Delta.
The latest generation of NVRs, the X-Series hybrid and all-IP recorders utilize NVIDIA chipsets and provide embedded artificial intelligence capabilities “that continue to advance,” according to the company announcement.
“As March Networks enters its next 25 years, it remains committed to transforming video surveillance beyond security, making it a powerful business intelligence tool,” the announcement says.
The Searchlight Cloud platform integrates video with all types of video analytics metadata, IoT sensors and transactional data from POS and ATM systems, delivering real-time security and loss prevention alerts, along with dashboards to help organizations enhance efficiency and the customer experience.
The recent launch of Generative AI-based Smart Search capabilities “highlights March Networks’ commitment to innovation and the ongoing evolution of video technology,” the company announcement says.
Today, customers benefit from end-to-end video and business intelligence solutions that “provide valuable insights across multiple departments, from security and operations to marketing and HR.”
“Reaching this milestone is a testament to the dedication of our employees, the loyalty of our customers, and the strength of our partnerships,” says Peter Strom, president and CEO of March Networks, in the company announcement.
“As we celebrate our 25th anniversary, we remain committed to delivering solutions that shape the future of intelligent video and help our customers succeed,” he says. “We look forward to 25 more years of innovation, security and growth in intelligent video solutions.”
