Four major trends in the development of video surveillance systems

Looking at the entire monitoring industry, the current remote real-time monitoring networking system has evolved from an early single analog video surveillance system to a video surveillance system such as a DVR, and integrated a comprehensive network management system for perimeter security systems such as front-end alarms and access control systems. The integrated construction mode has been highlighted. With the continuous expansion of users' demands for monitoring networked systems and the continuous expansion of network resources, more security and even related third-party systems for internal control will be required to be included in the monitoring and networking system. Users of the system will be required. It will also evolve from the existing security and security departments and some business departments into security, internal control, business, and inspectors and Other relevant departments at all levels.

The trend of IP-based trend video surveillance market from the analog CCTV video system to more mature, proactive, network-based IP video transformation will remain the mainstream of the future. The transformation from passive simulation to network-based intelligent video solutions has significantly improved the ability of video surveillance to quickly and effectively detect security vulnerabilities, as well as the ability to transmit video and data throughout the company and even to external agencies.

Network-based IP video surveillance can more effectively handle security threats, increase operational efficiency, and effectively control and save costs. This trend towards IP conversion also reflects customers' desire that video data, like other network data, can be integrated with other types of network security data and company data to create a more comprehensive security system solution.

End-to-end complete set of solutions There are many market segments in the video surveillance security market. The users in the market segments are characterized by vertical diversity. The requirements for video surveillance security are also different based on the company's own company size and product range. As the market matures, how quickly does the trend of end-to-end complete solutions come to pass?

As we have already seen in other industries, more and more companies are looking for a comprehensive solution for their security systems - a complete solution from a single, trusted supplier, not from a number of different Vendors purchase scattered solutions. Because if the latter is adopted, users will eventually have to solve the problem of integrating different solutions. Besides, the burden they face is that they must rely on multiple providers regardless of support, maintenance, or upgrade.

We have seen in the industry that customers see video surveillance as a solution rather than a product or technology. They will compare the overall benefits of a complete solution, not necessarily the benefits of each component. Although the end-to-end solution may sound counter-intuitive, it is actually quite logical and comprehensive compared to the IP trend discussed earlier. As long as the end-to-end complete solution is based on non-owned standards and IT platforms, and the various components of the solution, such as video management software, encoders, and IP cameras, can be integrated with other vendors' products.

FOCUS ON IT CUSTOMER-BASED CUSTOMER SERVICE The benefits of an open, standards-based architecture are clear: it can easily integrate with the company's existing IT infrastructure and available business networks, servers, and storage technologies. These benefits drive manufacturers to provide users with different services and support from the past. The focus is not on "opening and repairing," but more on network configuration, remote access, solution troubleshooting, and network monitoring tools.

This reflects the change in customer mentality and expectations. What the customer is concerned with is no longer just how good the product is, but also how the performance of the vendor partner, the IT knowledge of the employee, and the level of expertise that supports the solution in the network environment.

The rise of integrated intelligent video analytics Intelligent video analytics often have the advantage of simplifying and automating zeroes, helping to simplify workforce-intensive operations.

When smart video analytics was introduced into the market a few years ago, it gave the impression of an independent market with great growth potential. However, over time, intelligent video analytics has gradually become a niche market and has evolved into a powerful end-to-end solution. With this, intelligent video analytics is bringing greater impact, business value, and effectiveness. The tighter integration with a broader set of applications, and the low prices that come with being part of a complete solution, is just the tip of the iceberg for all the ultimate benefits. The video surveillance security market is currently experiencing a gratifying change. In meeting the video security requirements, we have witnessed a dramatic evolution from "single product" to "comprehensive solution" sales. This is not a change, but an evolution that takes several years, and is reflected in the four major trends mentioned above.

A better understanding of these trends and the changes they bring will help companies more effectively plan, identify needs, and find the key criteria for success. Identifying these trends also helps suppliers and integrators improve and extend their customer-selectable solutions and support services to better meet the changing needs of their customers. Most importantly, these trends will serve as a catalyst to increase business value while protecting the world's life, property, and data assets.
