State of the Industry (sales profiles) Market Drivers (Technology) Discussion Topics Operational Use of Systems (Integration and PSIM) Open Platform & Standards
Demand and Sales Trends • IP vs. Analog
IP Video Market Drivers Analytics Megapixel Cameras Network knowledge and competency Future: IP Standards Reductions in Storage cost
Megapixel Technology • One of the most influential drivers in the IP video segment. • Specialized companies have spearheaded the development and marketing • Larger camera manufactures are catching up • 1.3MP is main volume with 2MP, 3MP & 5MP becoming more common in applications • Higher MP cameras are in the market • Driving up the need for external storage • Lighting condition limitations now improving with intro of Auto Iris CCD megapixel products
Storage & Networking • Increased resolution and demand for high frame rates is driving the need for more complex storage solutions. • ISCSI RAID Arrays • Internal RAID formats • Centralized SAS storage • Constant increase in drive density is dramatically reducing storage cost • Now reviewing 2 TB drives • Typical cost of 1 TB drive now under $250.00 • These reductions have affected IP video as well as DVR costs • Lower cost of storage coupled with an increase in installer knowledge of networking has made IP video more cost effective
Video Content Analysis • Analytics • The analytics market still has not grown to the size projected some years back • Total worldwide Analytics market estimated at about $40M • Growth has been hampered by: • Complexity of the technology (setup and false alarms) • Lack of proper expectations • Cost per channel • Market for Analytics is still mainly in defense sectors. Small portion of analytics are used in commercial applications • Transfer of the Analytics to edge (camera) is still a driving factor in IP video camera deployment
Open Platform & Standards • What is an “Open Platform”? • In the video world, it’s a management platform that capable of interfacing cameras from multiple manufacturers • Beneficial since it does not lock the use into one hardware (camera) source • Issues today • No Standards: • Problems occur when interfaces change • Development from manufacturer to manufacturer is different • No consistency with feature support among different manufactured cameras
Standards… • ONVIF™: (Open Network Video Interface Forum) • Global standard for the interface of network video products • The ONVIF specification will ensure interoperability between network video products regardless of manufacturer. The cornerstones of ONVIF are: • Standardization of communication between network video devices • Interoperability between network video products regardless of manufacturer • Open to all companies and organizations • The ONVIF specification defines a common protocol for the exchange of information between network video devices including automatic device discovery, video streaming and intelligence metadata.
Operational Use of Systems • PSIM (Physical Security Management Systems) • Roughly defined as a combination of different system technologies brought together to operate as a cohesive solution. • Video, Access, Fire, Intrusion, Emergency Communication • ORSUS, Vidsys, Proximex, Intergraph are more “Situational Awareness” software providers • These solutions typically are very expensive and are used mostly in the Military/Government markets • A well integrated system can provide most of the capabilities without the cost?
