Single-facility award covers the complete Vicon platform through a specialist detention integrator
Hauppauge, NY, July 30, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Vicon Industries, a subsidiary of Cemtrex, Inc. (Nasdaq: CETX, CETXP), today announced a purchase order valued at approximately
The order includes a broad mix of Vicon surveillance hardware and software, including outdoor dome and box cameras, multi-sensor cameras, video management workstations and software, recording servers, PCs, housings, mounts, lenses, and related accessories. The order reflects continued demand for Vicon's established security solutions in environments where video coverage, reliability, and long-term platform support are essential.
Corrections is among the most demanding markets in physical security. Systems run continuously for years in hardened environments, and downtime is not tolerated. Integrators who specialize in this market select platforms they are prepared to stand behind for the life of the facility, and they concentrate an entire facility on a single vendor only when they trust that vendor completely. Vicon has served corrections and detention customers for decades, and awards of this kind are how that standing is measured.
"Sustainable improvement at Vicon comes from execution, customer by customer and order by order," said Saagar Govil, Chairman and CEO of Cemtrex. "When an integrator puts every camera, every server, and every screen in a facility on one platform, they are making a long-term commitment to that vendor — and specialists in this market do not make that commitment casually. We have spent the past several quarters rebuilding Vicon into a sharper, more disciplined business. This award is a tangible example of that effort and a reaffirmation that customers continue to choose Vicon for demanding security environments where the cost of failure is high and platform continuity matters."
The order is expected to ship in the current fiscal quarter and follows the strengthening public-sector and institutional activity the Company described in its second-quarter results.
