In today’s fast-moving world, businesses demand more from their surveillance systems than just video recording. Traditional CCTV cameras are limited: they produce hours of footage, trigger false alarms from shadows or moving trees, and require manual review when incidents occur.
VIVOTEK’s VORTEX cameras represent a major step forward. By combining edge AI analytics with powerful cloud management, VORTEX transforms security cameras into intelligent, proactive tools that save time, improve accuracy, and simplify operations.
VORTEX is VIVOTEK’s next-generation cloud-based surveillance platform. Unlike traditional cameras that rely on on-site recorders, VORTEX devices connect directly to the cloud, enabling:
AI-powered detection (humans, vehicles, intrusions, loitering) built directly into the camera.
Smart forensic search using keywords, attributes, or even images.
Remote management with automatic firmware updates and health monitoring.
Hybrid storage — local SD card recording plus flexible cloud retention.

On-Edge Analytics
Detect humans, vehicles, line crossings, intrusions, and loitering.
Advanced models (Premium series) add facial recognition, license plate recognition (LPR), and object attribute searches.
Deep & Think Search
Search video by attributes (e.g. “red car” or “man with backpack”).
Use natural language descriptions to find incidents without scrubbing footage.
Profile & Re-Search
Upload a photo and let the system find all appearances across cameras.
Useful for retail theft, campus safety, or law enforcement investigations.
Path Extraction & Event Insight
Visualize how people or vehicles move through a space.
Spot unusual behavior quickly.
The FE931-EHV fisheye delivers 12MP 360° coverage, making it ideal for wide areas like lobbies, warehouses, and campuses. For even larger spaces, the MS930-EHV panoramic camera with dual 8MP sensors provides broad, seamless monitoring in transport hubs, smart cities, and other public environments.
VORTEX adds the most value in industries where coverage and accuracy matter most — from reducing theft in retail and securing multiple bank branches, to monitoring logistics facilities, protecting campuses, and managing large crowds in transport or city settings.
