Network Optix showcases Nx Witness at The Security Event 2026. Posted on Saturday, March 14, 2026 Share: AS SECURITY environments grow more complex, organisations are looking for video management platforms that are not only powerful, but also flexible, scalable and future-ready. At The Security Event 2026, Network Optix will showcase Nx Witness, the company's enterprise-grade video management system (VMS) designed to help security teams monitor, manage and scale "without limits". Nx Witness is a fast and intuitive cross-platform IP VMS designed to discover, view, record and manage IP video cameras in real-time. Beyond performance, its strength lies in its open architecture, affording organisations the freedom to deploy the hardware, cameras and integrations that best suit their operational needs. From commercial facilities and multi-site enterprises to critical infrastructure and public sector environments, Nx Witness provides the foundation for modern security operations. Its intuitive interface reduces training time for operators, while advanced search and investigation tools enable security teams to review footage rapidly and respond efficiently when incidents occur. Unlike closed ecosystems that restrict hardware choices and limit scalability, Nx Witness is built on an open platform architecture. This allows integrators and end users to deploy across a wide range of supported devices and scale systems without costly rip-and-replace cycles. Whether managing a single site or hundreds of distributed locations, the platform supports centralised visibility and control, while maintaining performance at scale. This flexibility ensures long-term value and adaptability as operational requirements evolve. Real-world context for smarter oversight Security operations today extend well beyond camera grids. Operators increasingly require spatial awareness across large campuses, industrial sites, retail chains and urban environments. Nx Maps, the platform's integrated 2D and 3D mapping tool, enhances situational awareness through intelligent geospatial visualisation. Users can configure maps to reflect real-world layouts, display device locations, visualise camera fields of view and access live thumbnails directly within the map interface. This real-world context makes it easier to navigate between buildings and sites, improving operational clarity and simplifying the management of large, distributed systems all within the Nx Witness interface. Scalable AI without complexity Artificial intelligence (AI) is becoming a core part of modern security strategies, but managing analytics across different hardware environments can quickly become complex. Nx AI Manager addresses this challenge by providing a flexible AI inference management framework that works across CPUs, GPUs and AI accelerators. Instead of being tied to a single vendor approach, organisations can run analytics where it makes the most operational and financial sense: at the edge, on servers or in hybrid environments. The end result is a controlled and scalable path to adopting analytics without the need to overhaul existing infrastructure. For integrators and enterprise security teams, adaptability is essential. Nx Witness supports open APIs and third party integrations, enabling connection with access control systems, analytics providers and wider security technologies. This open approach allows systems to evolve alongside operational requirements. As organisations expand sites, introduce new workflows, or integrate additional technologies, Nx Witness supports that progression without requiring a fundamental architectural shift. The Security Event 2026 Visitors to The Security Event 2026, which runs from 28-30 April at the NEC in Birmingham, will be able to see Nx Witness, Nx Maps and Nx AI Manager demonstrated live. The showcase will highlight how video management, geospatial awareness and AI analytics can operate within a unified and scalable platform. As security challenges continue to evolve, organisations require solutions that balance performance with flexibility. Nx Witness is built to support that balance, delivering enterprise-grade video management designed for real-world deployments. Visit Network Optix at The Security Event 2026 (Stand G50 in Hall 5) to see how Nx Witness is redefining modern video management.
