Understanding the Physical Security Market
Understanding the Market:Market Overview • The Surveillance Camera Market • Overall U.S. camera market is approximately $7B (grew 2% in 2009) • IP cameras $700M market: showed +18% growth in 2009; expected to grow 25% in 2010 • Analog is still 65-70% of the total market (forecasted to shift to 50% by 2012) Video Surveillance Market 2012/13 Video Surveillance Market 2008
Understanding the Market:Market Overview • Trends for 2010 • Growth in megapixel and HD cameras • 1MB & 2MB megapixel cameras will be 75% of IP market in 2010 • H.264 compression to be widely adopted as a result • Standardization & Interoperability • Incorporating surveillance components into an IT ecosystem • Industry forums are developing global standards for the interface of IP-based physical security products • Open Network Video Interface Forum (ONVIF) • Physical Security Interoperability Alliance (PSIA)
Understanding the Market:Reseller Benefits • Leverage Your Expertise • You already understand Networking solutions (switching, routing, wireless, PoE) • Let our team of experts in the Physical Security SBU help you configure a system, and help with placement and other security considerations • Your Customers • As the market moves from analog to digital cameras, responsibility for surveillance systems is shifting from company’s Security staff to their IT staff • You already have these relationships • Margins • Resellers can enjoy 10-20% margins on hardware alone Sources: IMS Research’s Security & Fire News, various months
Understanding the Market:Reseller Benefits • Surveillance Cameras are Only 20% of the Opportunity! • Other components of a surveillance solution include: • Storage • Servers • Video Management Software • Accessories (lenses) • Power Supplies (including PoE) • Racks • Wiring
Understanding the Market:The IT Reseller Advantage • Your Competitors - Legacy Security Integrators • Only know analog cameras and wired solutions • Do NOT know switching, routing, IP addressing, software and storage, etc. • Most are resistant to the industry change from analog to digital cameras • They only know 20% of the IP solution… • You Already Know 80% of the Solution! • You possess the knowledge to add another device to the network, load the software and provide a storage solution • IT resellers only need to learn the basics of surveillance, i.e., camera placement, lenses, mounting solutions. • IT Resellers Have the Advantage Sources: IMS Research’s Security & Fire News, various months
Understanding the Market:Key Verticals • Education • Federal, State & Local Government • Traffic Monitoring • Transportation • Rail, Airports, Ports • Manufacturing/Industrial • Banking & Finance • Utilities • Healthcare
Understanding the Market:Components of a Physical Security Solution • The Solution • Network video (also called IP-based video surveillance or IP-Surveillance) uses a wired or wireless IP network as the backbone for transporting digital video, audio and other data • Allows video to be monitored and recorded from anywhere on the network • With Power over Ethernet (PoE) technology, the network can also be used to carry power to network video products • Core Components • Network camera • Network • Server and storage • Video management software • Video encoder (only needed if connecting analog cameras to the network) • Other components - accessories, i.e., camera housings, PoE midspans, active splitters

Understanding the Market:Benefits of an IP Solution vs. Analog • Remote Accessibility • Network cameras can be configured and accessed remotely, enabling multiple, authorized users to view live and recorded video at any time and from virtually any networked location in the world • High Image Quality • High image quality is essential to clearly capture an incident in progress and identify persons or objects involved • Progressive scan, megapixel and HD technology • Better image quality and higher resolution than an analog CCTV camera • Image quality can also be more easily retained • Analog systems that use a DVR as the recording medium, requires the conversion of the analog signal to digital, and then back to analog for transportation • Only then are the analog signals digitized for recording • Captured images are degraded with every conversion between analog and digital formats and with the cabling distance • The further the analog video signals travel, the weaker they become. • Fully digital IP-Surveillance system images are digitized only once
Understanding the Market:Benefits of an IP Solution vs. Analog • Event Management and Intelligent Video • There is often too much video recorded and lack of time to properly analyze it; network cameras with built-in intelligence or analytics take care of this problem • Reduce the amount of uninteresting recordings • Enabling programmed responses: • Video motion detection • Audio detection alarm • Active tampering alarm • I/O (input/output) connections • Alarm and event management functionalities • These functionalities are not always available in an analog system • Capability may reside on the DVR • IP cameras have the capability to constantly analyze inputs to detect an event and to automatically respond to an event with actions such as video recording and sending alarm notifications • For example, we have several customers that use event management software to notify business owners of activities in their businesses after hours.
Understanding the Market:Benefits of an IP Solution vs. Analog • Easy, Future-Proof Integration • Based on open standards; IP can be easily integrated with computer and Ethernet-based information systems, audio or security systems and other digital devices • Scalability and Flexibility • Network video system can grow with a user’s needs • Provides a means for many network cameras to share the same wired or wireless network for communicating data • Any number of network video products can be added to the system without significant or costly changes to the network infrastructure • This is not the case with an analog system (where a dedicated coaxial cable must run directly from each camera to a viewing station)
Understanding the Market:Benefits of an IP Solution vs. Analog • Cost-Effectiveness • Lower TCO • IP network infrastructure is often already in place and used for other applications within an organization • Network video applications can piggyback off the existing infrastructure • IP-based networks and wireless options less expensive alternatives than traditional coaxial and fiber cabling • Digital video streams can be routed around the world using a variety of interoperable infrastructure • Management and equipment costs are also lower • Back-end applications and storage run on industry standard, open systems-based servers (not on proprietary hardware such as a DVR in the case of an analog CCTV system) • Power over Ethernet technology enables networked devices to receive power from a PoE-enabled switch or midspan through the same Ethernet cable that transports data (video) • Provides substantial savings in installation costs and can increase the reliability of the system
Understanding the Market:Complementary Technologies • Media Conversion • Copper-to-fiber media conversion products for IP video surveillance available • Enables the conversion between disparate media types possible • Media conversion is a cost-effective way to improve bandwidth • Benefits of fiber • Highly secure; difficult to tamper with • IP video in a copper UTP network is limited to ~100 meters; copper-to-fiber media conversion media converters enable you to extend coverage to up to 10km • Fiber is immune to electrical interference (from fluorescent lighting, card access door strikes, outdoor lighting systems) and RFI interference
