TotalMedia and Inventec Debut Distributed AI Video Intelligence Platform at ISC West 2026

TotalMedia, in collaboration with infrastructure partner Inventec, today announced it will debut its AI video compression-driven distributed vision AI safety platform at ISC West 2026 (Booth #15147). Designed to dramatically reduce LTE/5G transmission costs and storage requirements, the platform applies AI perceptual and content-aware compression at the edge before enabling centralized reasoning tiers powered by accelerated infrastructure. By applying intelligent front-end optimization at the edge, the system reduces bandwidth requirements by up to 90 percent before selectively transmitting verified events for deeper centralized analysis when required.

The TotalMedia Aware platform uses AI-powered edge compression and selective event transmission to reduce LTE/5G bandwidth and storage requirements by up to 90 percent.

Construction sites, mobile monitoring trailers and other remote deployments often face costly bandwidth constraints, high false alarm rates and limited monitoring teams. TotalMedia’s platform distributes intelligence across the edge and core, allowing events to be processed locally, transmitted efficiently over LTE/5G networks and delivered to operators with verified context in real time.

“Security teams operating remote locations are under pressure to expand coverage without expanding costs,” said William Wong, CEO of TotalMedia. “We designed this platform to fundamentally change that equation. By combining AI compression, distributed intelligence and centralized reasoning, organizations can reduce data costs, cut false alarms and scale monitoring across thousands of sites without increasing staffing requirements.”

The platform architecture connects five core components - Camera, EdgeAI Compression & Processing, Intelligent Recording, Vision Language Model (VLM) Intelligence Layer and Centralized Management - into a unified workflow optimized for bandwidth efficiency, detection accuracy and operational scalability.

Intelligent Monitoring: Lorex & TotalMedia

The ISC West demonstration will feature the new Lorex Connect 4K Wired PoE Bullet Camera (with Smart Security Lighting) and its companion 8-channel NVR serving as the front-end capture and recording layer within TotalMedia’s tiered distributed architecture. Supporting up to eight 4K IP cameras via integrated Power-over-Ethernet (PoE), built-in AI motion detection for person, vehicle and perimeter events, and expandable local storage up to 10TB, the system delivers high-resolution video and intelligent event tagging.

Lorex’s advanced camera capabilities, including 4K color night vision, two-way talk communication, active deterrence lighting and smart detection, provide a responsive physical security layer capable of keeping you empowered before an event occurs.

What happens if an event occurs? Escalated events are processed through TotalMedia’s VLM Intelligence Layer, where multimodal reasoning frameworks validate context, prioritize risk and determine appropriate response actions. Verified incidents can trigger targeted deterrence actions, such as intelligent lighting activation, audio warnings or operator escalation, ensuring responses are proportionate, timely and informed by contextual understanding.

This integrated approach transforms traditional safety infrastructure into an intelligence-driven security workflow, reducing nuisance alerts while enabling more effective, data-driven response across distributed deployments; all to empower you.

Edge Optimization Appliance for Compression and Analytics

The TotalMedia Edge Optimization Appliance is a compact processing platform that adds advanced analytics and AI-driven compression to both new and existing camera deployments. By reducing video uplink requirements by up to 90 percent, the system lowers LTE/5G transmission costs while improving detection accuracy and filtering nuisance alerts before data is transmitted. The appliance can run on purpose-built edge hardware or infrastructure platforms, including Inventec-based systems, enabling flexible deployment across environments ranging from mobile trailers to fixed sensor infrastructure deployments.

VLM Intelligence Layer for Monitoring Centers

The TotalMedia VLM Intelligence Layer provides centralized reasoning for live monitoring centers and alarm receiving centers (ARCs). Built on NVIDIA Metropolis, NVIDIA open models, including Cosmos Reason and NVIDIA Metropolis Blueprint for video search and summarization (VSS), the platform enables video analytics AI agents that analyze event-driven video streams to verify alerts, interpret scene context and generate operator-ready insights.

Using multimodal reasoning, NVIDIA VSS Blueprint enables searchable video intelligence and automated incident summaries, allowing operators to quickly query events and accelerate investigations.

These reasoning workloads run on accelerated infrastructure such as Inventec IGX Thor, GB10 platforms and RTX PRO 6000 servers, enabling scalable AI inference for CMS and ARC environments while improving monitoring efficiency and reducing false alarms.

Unified Video Management System

The centralized TotalMedia Video Management System (VMS) orchestrates cameras, edge processing, NVR intelligence and AI reasoning workflows across distributed deployments. Supporting cloud, hybrid and on-premises environments with role-based access control and integrated device management, the platform enables organizations to scale seamlessly from pilot deployments to large multi-site operations. The system is designed for rapidly growing sectors such as commercial construction, mobile edge deployments and live monitoring centers.

Preview: Intelligent Edge Endpoints

TotalMedia will also preview next-generation intelligent camera and recording endpoints featuring embedded detection and AI compression that optimize video before transmission, extending the platform’s distributed intelligence architecture.
