Welcome to the August 2026 Edition of the Network Optix Global Newsletter!
This edition covers a lot of ground. AAEON and ISS Security share how they're building faster, more scalable offerings on Nx Witness, while two articles look at what schools need to modernize campus security without starting from scratch. On the product side, organizations can now self-allocate subscription keys, Nx Maps Advanced brings real-time position tracking to the map, and your free upgrade to Generation 6 is ready whenever you are. Rounding it out, three new integrations bring device health monitoring and AI-powered search into Nx Witness.

- Upcoming Events: Where to find us
Nx Partner Success Story: AAEON Strengthens Its Edge AI Portfolio
Edge AI hardware alone isn't enough anymore, customers want to see cameras, compute, and AI models working together as a real solution before they commit. See how AAEON paired its embedded platforms with Nx.
How Schools Can Modernize Campus Security Without Replacing Everything
Rip and replace security pitches rarely fit the budget or timeline schools actually have, and patchwork fixes just add more disconnected systems. See how districts can modernize existing cameras with an open VMS instead.
Nx Partner Success Story: ISS Security Builds a More Scalable CCTV Offering
ISS needed more than a VMS swap, they wanted faster installs, fewer support calls, and simpler licensing across every project size. See how Nx Witness became their go to platform for new builds and camera upgrades.
Why Schools Should Connect Video Surveillance and Access Control
Access control logs that a door alert happened, but only video shows what actually went on inside the building. See how connecting them through Nx Witness puts the right camera view and bookmark on screen.
Organizations Can Now Self Allocate Subscription Key Licenses
Organizations no longer have to wait on their channel partner to assign subscription key licenses to specific devices. See how the new self-allocation option puts that control directly in your hands.
Nx Maps Advanced: A Smarter Way to See Your Security System
A device list can't show you where cameras actually are, what they cover, or how sites connect spatially. See how Nx Maps Advanced adds real time position tracking and live object detection right on the map.
Your Free Upgrade To Generation 6 Is Waiting
Support for v5 ends January 1, 2027, and every new update ships to Gen 6 only, so the gap in capability and security widens the longer you wait. See how the free, in-client upgrade doubles your device limit while keeping the same perpetual license you already have.
Three new ways to extend your Network Optix system
We've added three new integrations to the Works with Nx ecosystem, spanning system health monitoring, device-side AI, and video search. Each one builds on the open architecture of Network Optix to extend what your system can do. Rather than walk through them here, we've pulled them together in one place — visit the integrations page to see what's new and how it might fit your setup.
