Market Trends of Video Management System Industry
IP-Based Segment to Hold Significant Market Share
- Video management systems combine all the elements of a video network into a single system. TCP/IP-based video security and surveillance networks allow organizations to construct video systems utilizing cost-effective video and computer hardware. Network video systems can scale from one camera to many as required. Implementing the Internet of Things (IoT) in video surveillance has increased the need for IP-enabled camera systems. This trend, coupled with the rising popularity of smart homes, is expected to propel the demand for IP cameras in the coming years.
- In recent years, there has been a surge in the use of IP cameras due to the increasing need for high-resolution images and perimeter monitoring. The critical technologies adopted by the cities include private LTE communications (PLC), data storage, automatic number plate recognition (ANPR), video analytics, and accompanying information and communication technology (ICT) equipment.
- IP-based cameras offer a range of advanced features that have been instrumental in addressing several critical issues in various industries. For instance, in the retail sector, there have been numerous reports of employees engaging in widespread fraudulent financial transactions, resulting in the loss of a considerable amount of revenue each year. The IP video surveillance system in this sector has been instrumental in addressing this issue by electronically connecting all transactions and video recordings of the events. All of this data is stored in a centralized database, allowing retailers to view all the circumstances of a particular transaction and perform a search on various parameters.
- Advanced digital IP-based video cameras and recorders enable more explicit images to be taken inside and outside the retail store in various lighting conditions to prevent theft, fraud, and unsubstantiated claims, such as slips and falls.
- Furthermore, the proliferation of retail stores necessitates implementing internet protocol (IP) network surveillance systems, which allow executives to effectively monitor the performance of their stores from the comfort of their offices, homes, or any other location with access to the Internet.
Asia-Pacific to Witness Significant Growth
- Asia-Pacific is rapidly expanding in the global video management system market due to substantial infrastructure investments. Government entities in the region are concentrating on developing sophisticated surveillance cameras to be utilized in densely populated areas to ensure public safety.
- Asia-Pacific is experiencing an increase in population, particularly in India and China, which is providing a significant opportunity for video management systems. Video management systems provide a solution for monitoring and managing densely populated areas. Information technology is one of the fastest-growing industries in the region, resulting in a higher return on investment for investors.
- In India, for instance, the surveillance system OEM, Infinova, was entrusted with the responsibility of managing more than 60 airports in April 2023 to enhance security measures and prevent acts of terrorism. Infinova, a manufacturer of dependable security systems and products, deployed more than 6,000 video surveillance cameras, including PTZ (high-speed) domes, minidomes resistant to vandalism, and fixed day/night cameras, at major airports across India. Most of these airports are utilizing Infinova's native video management software, while others are integrating Infinova cameras with third-party VMS suppliers.
- Organizations with multiple locations should have a video management system that integrates all areas and provides centralized monitoring. This factor allows for real-time tracking of all backgrounds and reduces response time.
- For instance, in May 2023, Secom Co. Ltd, a Japanese security integration company, invested USD 192 million in two security solutions providers, Eagle Eye Networks Inc. and Brivo Inc., specializing in cloud-based video surveillance. Eagle Eye is a provider of cloud video surveillance, offering a comprehensive product offering that combines cyber-secure cloud-based video with AI and analytics capabilities. The company's flagship product, the Eagle Eye Cloud Video Management System (VMS), is designed to centralize video surveillance and assist businesses in increasing their security and operational effectiveness.
- The market is also witnessing positive developments due to the increasing number of governmental initiatives to implement smart city projects. For example, the Indian government reported in May 2023 that over 90% of funds allocated under its Smart Cities Mission had been utilized, and 73% of projects were completed as of May 1, 2023.
