Setting New Standards in Enterprise-Grade Surveillance and Monitoring Solutions
Mumbai, 13/August/2025 at Hotel Taj mahal Palace and Towers – Vicon Industries, a global leader in advanced security and surveillance technologies, is proud to announce that its flagship Valerus Video Management System (VMS) has bagged the King’s Excellence Award 2025 in the prestigious category of Best Surveillance and Monitoring System held during the Safetech Awards & Conference Ceremony 2025. This Award underscores Valerus’ growing reputation as a future-ready surveillance solution that combines open standards, enterprise scalability, and cutting-edge analytics into a single, unified platform.
Valerus has been designed from the ground up to address the complexities of modern surveillance ecosystems. Unlike traditional video management platforms that rely on heavy proprietary infrastructures, Valerus is a fully browser-based system, eliminating the need for dedicated client software. This provides security professionals with the ability to configure, monitor, and administer their surveillance environments from any standard browser or mobile device, significantly reducing IT overhead and deployment complexity. By supporting ONVIF Profiles S, G, and T, the solution ensures seamless integration with a wide spectrum of third-party IP cameras and encoders, making it an ideal choice for enterprises seeking openness and interoperability in their security investments.
More than just a video management platform, Valerus functions as the central hub for integrated security operations. The system provides a single, intuitive interface through which users can monitor video feeds, audio channels, alarms, access control data, license plate recognition (LPR) results, and overall system health. This consolidated approach not only enhances situational awareness but also drives faster, data-backed responses during incidents. Equipped with AI-driven analytics and object-based search filters, Valerus significantly accelerates forensic investigations by reducing the volume of irrelevant data and minimizing false alarms that traditionally plague surveillance operations.
From an architectural perspective, Valerus offers unmatched scalability and flexibility. The platform supports standalone, distributed, and cloud-ready deployments, ensuring it can meet the requirements of organizations ranging from small enterprises to multi-site government agencies. With built-in redundancy for application and recording servers, as well as remote storage and auto-archiving capabilities, Valerus guarantees uninterrupted surveillance and compliance even in mission-critical environments. This makes it particularly suited for smart cities, transportation hubs, critical infrastructure projects, and defense sectors, where downtime is not an option.
Cybersecurity has been a cornerstone of Valerus’ development. The platform is OWASP Top 10 compliant, integrates multi-factor authentication, and employs end-to-end encryption of video streams, ensuring that sensitive surveillance data remains protected from both external and internal threats. An integrated audit logging mechanism further strengthens compliance, making Valerus not only secure by design but also regulatory-ready for government and enterprise adoption. Notably, the solution carries STQC certification in India, validating its adherence to stringent national standards and positioning it as a trusted solution for government-led security initiatives.
Another key differentiator of Valerus is its integrated access control module, which allows organizations to correlate video surveillance with access events across third-party systems. This tight coupling of video and access data streamlines incident verification, enabling faster decision-making during security breaches. Combined with AI-based analytics such as facial recognition, license plate detection, and behavior analysis, Valerus transforms surveillance from a passive monitoring system into an active decision-support tool for enterprises.
Valerus has already made significant industry inroads, with deployments spanning smart cities, oil & gas refineries, educational institutions, defense facilities, and transportation networks. System integrators and enterprises particularly value its channel-friendly licensing model, which eliminates recurring fees for core features and simplifies activation—ensuring long-term cost efficiency alongside technological superiority.
“Valerus represents Vicon’s vision of delivering a security ecosystem that combines cutting-edge innovation with simplicity, compliance, and resilience. The King’s Excellence Award is a testament to our continuous efforts to empower enterprises and governments with solutions that do not just monitor, but truly enhance their ability to anticipate, respond, and secure the environments they operate in,” said Nitin Yashwant Patil – General Manager Project Sales, Vicon Industries.
