Nowadays, the development of video surveillance is getting faster and faster. However, video surveillance services have a long history. They are traditionally widely used in the security field and are important means to assist public security agencies in cracking down on crimes and maintaining social stability. In recent years, with the popularization of broadband, the development of computer technology, and the improvement of image processing technology, video surveillance has become more and more widespread in education, government, entertainment, medical care, hotels, sports and other various fields.

Remote network video surveillance system represented by network video server. The network video server solves the problem of video stream transmission on the network. Digital processing and transmission are started from image acquisition. This makes the selection of transmission lines more diverse. As long as there are networks, it provides the possibility of image transmission. The entire system tends to be platform-based and intelligent. Many Internet companies have begun to get involved in the development of such video surveillance systems and are still at the initial stage of the market.

The scope of traditional video surveillance services is very narrow, both in terms of geographic coverage and user group coverage. This year, the development of video surveillance platforms shows some characteristics that are different from the past, gradually extending to large areas and multi-fields, with a wider range of applications. More comprehensive.

1. From individual industries to multiple areas

In the past, China's video surveillance applications mainly concentrated in government departments and financial, public security, transportation, electricity and other special departments and industries. Among them, the government sector and the financial industry accounted for 20.9% and 20.6% of the market respectively. However, with the advancement of social informationization, the demand for video surveillance in a growing number of industries and fields has increased substantially. Even traditional users such as public security have proposed new patterns and functional requirements for city surveillance in terms of “safe cities”. . This year, video surveillance began to expand from individual areas such as banking and transportation to various fields, from traditional security monitoring to management monitoring and production management.

In addition, the use of video surveillance only for the corporate industry has gradually been broken, and public households have also become new markets for video surveillance applications in 2008. In the public household market, video surveillance is mainly applied to the security of homes and the monitoring of property. The user can install the camera at home and use the home gateway as a video server. The user can remotely monitor the home security through the Internet in real time. Although it is far from the full realization of the digital home, with the development of IPv6 technology and information appliance technology and the further optimization of mobile monitoring equipment, video surveillance technology is likely to be first promoted in digital homes. A domestic market research report pointed out that as individual users attach more importance to home security, the awareness of using video surveillance systems to protect residential safety has been significantly strengthened and will become an emerging market in 2008.

2. From local monitoring to cross-provinces

The market for video surveillance demand continues to expand. In addition to traditional industries, enterprises and individual markets are also emerging. The most economically active small and medium-sized enterprises and individual users in China have clearly demonstrated their application prospects for video surveillance. At the same time, the requirements of users are getting higher and higher. Among them, the most prominent is the requirement to realize real-time, non-geographical, and unimpeded transmission of large amounts of video data, so as to achieve resource sharing, and to provide convenient and fast management personnel and decision makers at all levels. Effective service.

Especially for large group companies, these companies are across provinces and regions, branch offices are spread all over the country, and activities between branches are also very frequent. If people are allowed to go back and forth, it will obviously reduce work efficiency and waste. Enterprise resources increase operating costs. Through video surveillance, it is possible to realize the situation of the company in a timely and intuitive manner even in a remote place. Therefore, these customers are in urgent need of the video surveillance system that connects the entire province and even the whole country. Many large-scale enterprise groups including Haier Group are required to be capable of inter-provincial and inter-provincial expansion in the expansion of the video private network. This shows that powerful and international enterprise groups hope to increase the coverage of video surveillance systems and increase their coverage. Efficiency, reduce costs. It can be foreseen that breakthroughs in local network restrictions and the realization of intra-provincial or inter-provincial networking will be an important trend in the development of video surveillance platforms in 2008.

3. From providing access to system integration

At present, when telecom companies in many places build video surveillance systems, they only provide network channels for users and cannot participate in terminal procurement, software installation, and operation and maintenance. In this mode, users need to purchase video terminal equipment by themselves, build information management software systems on their own, and also commission third parties to perform system and line maintenance. This not only increases the difficulty for users to use services, but also makes the effectiveness of video surveillance systems. Greatly reduced.
