Cemtrex's Vicon NEXT Camera Wins Multiple Industry Awards, Signaling Commercial Momentum and Category Leadership
Hauppauge, NY, June 26, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Vicon Industries, a subsidiary of Cemtrex Inc. (NASDAQ:CETX, CETXP)) and a leading provider of advanced security and surveillance solutions, today announced that its next-generation surveillance solution, the NEXT Modular Sensor System, has received multiple industry awards, signaling early traction and strong reception from the security industry.
Launched earlier this year, NEXT is gaining recognition for its combination of modularity, rapid installation, and AI-powered deterrence, unique features designed to meet the evolving demands of modern security buyers. Most recently, the product was honored at the Electronic Security Expo (ESX) with two major distinctions: an Innovation Award in the Video Surveillance category and Runner-Up for Best in Show, placing NEXT among the top two most innovative solutions across the entire expo. These awards are judged by security integrators and experts, representing a direct endorsement from the professionals who sell, install, and maintain surveillance systems.
In parallel, Campus Security Today awarded NEXT the Secure Campus Award, recognizing its growing adoption in the education sector. Designed to meet the urgent demands of school districts and universities, NEXT was selected for its ability to be deployed quickly, maintained with minimal operational overhead, and leveraged as a proactive safety solution in sensitive environments.
These accolades follow NEXT's recent receipt of an iF Design Award, one of the world's most prestigious honors for product design, underscoring its functional elegance and industrial engineering excellence.
"NEXT is more than just a new camera, it's a complete rethink of what modern surveillance should look like," said Saagar Govil, Chairman and CEO of Cemtrex. "These awards validate our strategic focus on innovation that solves real-world problems for end users and creates real value for our channel partners. With market demand for AI-enhanced, easy-to-deploy security solutions growing rapidly, NEXT puts Vicon in a leadership position."
A Strategic Turning Point for Vicon
The success of NEXT marks a major inflection point for Vicon's transformation. After several years of rebuilding, Vicon has emerged with a differentiated, future-ready platform that aligns directly with the evolving needs of commercial, municipal, and educational customers.
- Channel validation: Awards from ESX judges, who represent Vicon's core go-to-market ecosystem, indicate that integrators see NEXT as a must-have solution.
- Vertical traction: Recognition from the education sector confirms Vicon's ability to win in high-urgency markets with demanding procurement standards.
- Design leadership: Global design recognition reinforces Vicon's ability to command premium positioning in a crowded field.
These accolades arrive as Cemtrex accelerates operating income growth across its platform, driven in part by NEXT's commercial ramp. With a first-mover lead in modular design and AI deterrence, Vicon is now positioned to capture meaningful market share as institutions modernize legacy infrastructure.
"This is not just recognition, it's a signpost," Govil added. "NEXT is the start of a multi-year product roadmap focused on building the most forward-thinking security solutions in the market. We believe the strong reception reflects the progress we've made repositioning Vicon for long-term growth."
