Report: 40 Percent Of Network Surveillance Cameras Will Contain Analytics By 2012

  • Nov 17, 2008
In its newest report on the market for video content analysis, IMS Research forecasts that its penetration into network surveillance cameras will exceed 40 percent by 2012.

In fact, the company predicts that network cameras will be the main hardware platform for embedded analytics, with the intelligent network camera market forecast to grow faster than the intelligent video encoder, embedded NVR and DVR markets up to 2012.

IMS Research notes more vendors now offer VCA-embedded camera solutions and forecasts this trend to continue. The primary advantage of camera-based analytics is bandwidth preservation. By conducting pre-transmission processing, it eliminates the need to transmit all captured video to centralized servers for analysis and can reduce costs on storage. Intelligent cameras can be set to low-resolution transmission until a predefined event of interest occurs, triggering a switch to high-resolution video transmission.

IMS Research predicts that global shipments of VCA embedded network cameras will exceed 2.5 million units by 2012. However, this forecast assumes that over 60 percent of the intelligent cameras will be embedded with only low-end analytics, such as camera tampering detection and system health checks.

“Network camera manufacturers are employing the latest technologies, such as H.264 compression, megapixel image sensors and VCA, to add value to their products to fight off commoditization,” said IMS Research market research analyst James McManus. “Within 5 years, a large number of cameras will enter the market with at least basic VCA functionality”.

    Darktrace recently unveiled its 2025 State of AI Cybersecurity report. The findings reveal that 78% of Chief Information Security Officers (CISOs) surveyed say that AI-powered threats are having a significant impact on their organizations, a 5% increase1 from 2024. While an increasing number of CISOs report feeling a significant impact from AI threats, more than 60% now say that they are adequately prepared to defend against these threats, an increase of nearly 15% year-over-year. However, insufficient AI knowledge and skills and a shortage of personnel and talent continue to be listed as the two top inhibitors to a successful defense. Read Now

    A8V MIND

    Hexagon’s Geosystems presents a portable version of its Accur8vision detection system. A rugged all-in-one solution, the A8V MIND (Mobile Intrusion Detection) is designed to provide flexible protection of critical outdoor infrastructure and objects. Hexagon’s Accur8vision is a volumetric detection system that employs LiDAR technology to safeguard entire areas. Whenever it detects movement in a specified zone, it automatically differentiates a threat from a nonthreat, and immediately notifies security staff if necessary. Person detection is carried out within a radius of 80 meters from this device. Connected remotely via a portable computer device, it enables remote surveillance and does not depend on security staff patrolling the area.
