As a special industry, the development of the security industry is also a process of continuous development from low level to high level. The decisive role of the degree of development is directly determined by the level of socio-economic development. Therefore, when the world is becoming networked, the evolution of cameras from analog to IP has become a self-evident development focus and direction.

The emergence of networked trends is not accidental, it is just like the emergence of the Internet is also a historical choice. We will always apply the latest technologies and the most convenient means for human use to all industries and fields. Wired mouse is more convenient for use without thinking of a line, and it is inconvenient for mobile storage devices to transmit data. Therefore, there is a need for network transmission. Therefore, monitoring IP has not stayed in the concept, but it has been developing in a subtle manner. Not surprising.

There have been articles mentioned that analog video surveillance technology has entered a dead end. The limited scope of application, the poor scalability of the system, and the inability to form effective alarm linkages have caused the analog video surveillance to be paralyzed. However, the transition from an analog system to an IP system can sometimes be tricky. The main reason is that since most people's existing infrastructure is already established, it is difficult to simply discard those existing system facilities and completely start construction again. A new set of IP systems - economically speaking, this is unscientific. For this reason, at the time of system planning, it is necessary to determine which devices to keep, how to replace the original system, and how to retrofit and upgrade the old system.

But how many companies can really calm down and think about how to deal with this transformation? In the face of any industry turmoil, companies are more worried about being mercilessly eliminated by the market. Therefore, when greeting the transition from analog to IP, they are also immersed in this wave of change and abandon traditional analog video surveillance technology. Is this rational? In my opinion, this has to be said to be a change with risk.

It is said that the most difficult stage is the start-up period and the transitional period, and the IPization of security just happens to be in these two phases. This has to be said to be a test for Chinese security companies. How to spend comfortably and without sacrificing the victims of change can also capture the favorable position of the market and overcome the risks with diversity, professionalism, and explorability. Let's take a deeper understanding of this "nine-character".

Faced with the current special period of transition from analog to network, enterprises need to have a comprehensive product line and provide appropriate products for diversified use environments: in addition to launching a series of leading network monitoring products to facilitate the rapid arrival of network monitoring, It is also necessary to aggressively introduce products that can be applied to both analog and network systems, that is, to provide features that can simultaneously support analog and digital access, and help project providers and users to successfully implement the transition. In the past few years, hybrid DVRs launched by Hikvision and video synthesis platforms launched in recent years all have the features of simultaneous support for analog, digital access, high-definition, and standard-definition access. Providing diversified products enables companies to win every opportunity in the transitional period and is the winner of the commercial battlefield.

Second, unlike traditional analog products, network products involve the scope of IT, which has high requirements for operators and users. For most domestic engineering companies, integrators and users, they are very familiar with the traditional CCTV system, and are still in the early stage of using the network products. This requires that the manufacturers need to have a perfect service support network to provide timely Training and technical services to help them master network products and related knowledge. At the same time, in the development and design of network products, manufacturers should take into account the characteristics of these people, and should be fully reflected in the convenience of installation and ease of use, such as supporting PoE power supply, local video output, and Easy local debugging, wireless support, etc. With real-time updates and training of professional technicians and expertise, it is possible to respond calmly to any situation that has emerged in the new market after the change.

In addition, from the point of view of historical accumulation, after all, network products are not as mature as analog products, and technology is updated quickly. Therefore, in the core technology of network products, manufacturers need to do in-depth exploration and accumulation. Take the example of network cameras that monitor key products on the network. Only advanced codec algorithms and 3A algorithms (automatic white balance, automatic exposure, and automatic gain) are available for manufacturers to ensure advanced products and reliability. At the same time, in the face of the diversified characteristic needs of industry customers, manufacturers must be able to have flexible customization capabilities to provide differentiated product services to customers. The diversity of needs also requires manufacturers to grasp the laws of market development, to look ahead, can be prepared to meet every market opportunity, in order to bring surprises to the development of the company.

The gradual change of analog video surveillance to IP surveillance has become an inevitable trend. This is beyond doubt. However, in terms of market share and development, there will be a long period of time away from the era of analog surveillance. Therefore, in terms of the current mixed age, how to formulate targeted corporate planning and policies requires extensive Security vendors think about issues. It can be said that the simulation era is yesterday, and the hybrid era is today. IP surveillance is a smooth transition tomorrow, yesterday, today, and tomorrow, and it is bound to promote the rapid growth of IP products and markets.
