1 General Information
1.1 Surveillance Market Trend
1.1.1 Executive Summary
It's all about your security. Whether property, assets, or even people's lives, we at
PROMISE understand that you sell security – and in video surveillance security means
100% reliability. This can only be achieved by finding the right solution for the right
customer. So, how do you ensure that you deliver the best packages? It's a big
question when dealing with a bewildering array of surveillance packages that include host
recording systems like DVR or NVR, cameras, storage arrays and operating software with
technical support. There are so many choices that finding an answer can seem
impossible. What kind of camera is good for home use? And how many cameras do
we need in the office? Is H.264 or MPEG4 compressed video evidence recognized by law?
And which protocol best fits video recording? SCSI? Gigabit Ethernet? eSATA? Or
USB?
1.1.2 Ready to Go IP?
It's a hot topic right now. IP based cameras are blushing under the attention. Currently,
on seminars, forums, webinars and blogs, the question rings out on whether it's worth the
initial investment for businesses to go IP. But they're the future and they know it. Frost
& Sullivan, a leading business research and consulting firm, estimated the IP surveillance
market at $1.4 billion in 2008 and $6.5 billion in 2012 with a compound annual growth
rate of 47 percent for 2005‐12, and this trend shows no signs of abating.
IPVideoMarkt.info also indicated an important market shift for the video surveillance in
March, 2010 while in the last 6 months IP video sales have rebounded and CCTV analog
sales continues to decline. This is in fact an important market indicator that more and
more field distributors, integrators and installers are willing to buy, sell, and plan IP
solutions in video surveillance.
Below is the visual from IPVideoMarket.info after examining recent financial statements
worldwide.
