As cloud technology and AI continue to reshape the security industry, Taiwan’s security market is entering a new phase of transformation. For many businesses, key considerations when adopting new technologies include making AI practical for everyday operations, improving the efficiency of video data utilization, and maximizing existing infrastructure investments while ensuring seamless system integration.

In 2026, VIVOTEK joined forces with its Taiwan distributor, Zero One Technology, to host three NEXUS Taiwan events in Taipei, Taichung, and Kaohsiung, bringing together more than 33 system integrators and industry partners. The events focused on two key technology themes, Generative AI and Hybrid Cloud, providing a platform for partners to exchange insights on market needs and explore how existing security infrastructure can work with next-generation cloud technologies.

From Technology Innovation to Real-World Applications: Understanding Taiwan’s Evolving Security Needs

Building on the global NEXUS theme, the events showcased real-world global case studies of how cloud technology and AI are helping businesses move toward smarter video search, analytics, and proactive response. These insights also encouraged Taiwan’s system integrators to explore new applications and business opportunities in intelligent security.

Generative AI and Hybrid Cloud were the two key topics of discussion. Generative AI makes video search and incident investigation more intuitive and efficient, while Hybrid Cloud allows businesses to retain their existing equipment and infrastructure while gradually adopting cloud-based management capabilities.

Bringing AI into Real-World Security Scenarios

As interest in Generative AI continues to grow in Taiwan, VIVOTEK demonstrated how Think Search, part of the VORTEX cloud platform, makes natural-language video search a practical, interactive experience. Participants were invited to enter search prompts of their choice, such as “a person smoking at the entrance” or “a white Volvo,” and the system retrieved relevant video clips based on their descriptions. Think Alert also demonstrated how customizable event detection and real-time notifications extend video management from search and investigation to proactive response. The demonstrations generated strong interest, with several partners seeking further information about the features and their potential applications in real-world projects. 

Cloud Transformation Doesn't Have to Start from Scratch. Making Existing Infrastructure Work Smarter. 

Many businesses in Taiwan have already invested in on-premises cameras, recording devices, and video management systems. When considering cloud adoption, they naturally want to know whether their existing equipment can remain in use, whether major system changes will be required, and how ongoing management and maintenance costs may be affected. 

VIVOTEK’s Hybrid Cloud Surveillance architecture offers a more flexible approach. It enables compatible on-premise video systems to be extended to the cloud, allowing businesses to gradually adopt capabilities such as remote access, centralized management, and system health monitoring without replacing their entire existing infrastructure. 

For system integrators, this provides greater flexibility in project planning. By combining existing on-premise infrastructure with cloud capabilities, they can develop tailored security solutions based on each customer's current environment, project requirements, and future plans.

Building Stronger Local Connections and Creating Value Together

Through the three events in Taipei, Taichung, and Kaohsiung, NEXUS Taiwan provided VIVOTEK with an opportunity to hear directly from partners across different regions. While some were interested in integrating existing equipment with cloud solutions, others wanted to learn more about the practical applications of Generative AI. These firsthand insights gave VIVOTEK a better understanding of local market needs and will help inform future technology applications and project planning.

Looking ahead, VIVOTEK will continue working closely with partners across Taiwan to bring more cloud and AI applications into real-world use across different industries.

VIVOTEK would also like to thank Zero One Technology for its support and collaboration in making the NEXUS Taiwan series possible, bringing the events to partners across northern, central, and southern Taiwan and creating more opportunities for face-to-face exchange and collaboration in Taiwan’s smart surveillance market.
