IP video surveillance market grew 48 percent in 2007

Scottsdale, Arizona (USA)MultiMedia Intelligence reports that the market for IP/Networked video surveillance cameras grew nearly 50 percent in 2007, to approach USD 500 million worldwide. This growth is nearly four times the growth rate of the broader video surveillance equipment market, which also includes CCTV cameras, digital video recorders (DVRs) and network video recorders (NVRs), and IP Encoder/Streamers. While IP/networked video surveillance camera units and revenue are growing rapidly, they remain a small percentage of the overall surveillance market. The outlook for continued growth of IP/Networked video surveillance is strong. However, the barriers to it overtaking traditional CCTV surveillance will prove enduring. "The transition from traditional CCTV surveillance to networked digital surveillance is revolutionary for the physical security industry, according to Mark Kirstein, president of MultiMedia Intelligence. "Yet this transition is also seen as over-hyped and under-performing compared to many expectations. Both are true."MultiMedia Intelligence's new research also found:- IT-oriented companies such as Cisco and EMC are adding a new competitive dynamic. Focused surveillance competitors, such as Axis Communications, IndigoVision, March Networks, Nice Systems and Verint, are leveraging the growth of IP/networked surveillance to take on the legacy surveillance equipment manufacturers. The new competitive environment is drastically accelerating product innovation. - Growth in the DVR market overall is slowing. Network video recorders, both hardware-based and software-based, are emerging as the key growth category.- The semiconductor opportunities in DVRs and IP/networked surveillance equipment are strong. Companies, such as Texas Instruments and Techwell, have established a strong position in their respective segments. A variety of competitors including Analog Devices, Aptina, NextChip, OmniVision, PentaMicro, Pixim, and Stretch are positioning themselves in the key growth categories of video processing/Codecs and image sensors.- With strong expertise in physical security, the legions of dealers and VARs are generally not experts in networking and IP technology. This lack of expertise is a major barrier to adoption of networked video among end users. "Internet Protocol (IP)/Networked Video Surveillance Market: Equipment, Technology & Semiconductors" analyzes the IP/Networked surveillance market within the context of the broader video surveillance industry. The research examines the value chain from end-users to distribution/sales, integrators, equipment manufacturers, software vendors, and semiconductor providers. MultiMedia Intelligence's expertise is based on years of researching the physical security, digital camera and semiconductor markets. The report forecasts and segments markets by product category, including CCTV & IP cameras, Encoder/Streamers, DVR/NVR, and surveillance software & video content analytics. In addition, detailed technology segmentation and forecasts are included for semiconductors in each product category, video signal processors & codecs, image sensors (CMOS/CCD), camera resolution, and network interfaces (PoE, Wi-Fi/Mesh, others). Forecasts include units, revenue, ASPs at the equipment, software and semiconductor level by product type.

Study on demand of security equipment

Global demand for security equipment will climb 7.8 percent annually through 2012, claims Freedonia in their new report "World Security Equipment to 2012".
Strongest gains will occur in the underdeveloped markets of Asia, Eastern Europe, Africa/Middle East and Latin America. Electronic security products will post stronger sales advances than mechanical security equipment.This study analyzes the USD 62.1 billion world security equipment industry. It presents historical demand data for the years 1997, 2002 and 2007, and forecasts for 2012 and 2017 by product (e.g., access controls, CCTV surveillance, alarms, locks); market (commercial and industrial, government and institutional, residential); world region (e.g., Western Europe, North America, Asia/Pacific); and for 28 countries.The study also considers market environment factors, details industry structure, evaluates company market share and profiles 41 industry players, including Assa Abloy, United Technologies and Honeywell International.

Saudi Arabia homeland security market outlook

Washington, DC (USA)With a cumulative 2007-2018 Homeland Security (HLS) market of USD 115 billion, Saudi Arabia is the 2nd largest HLS market in the world after the U.S, claims Homeland Security Research in a fresh report named "Saudi Arabia Homeland Security Market Outlook - 2009-2018".
Saudi Arabia's Homeland Security market is unlike any other market in the world. It is the only country whose very survival is threatened by terrorism resulting from both internal (homegrown infiltration of Al Qaeda and the Shia minority) and external forces (e.g. the threat of a nuclear Iran, an annual Hajj pilgrimage of millions, the security of 24 percent of the world's oil reserves threats). With nearly unlimited monetary resources resulting from the soaring price of oil, the Kingdom created a complex maze of 24 redundant HLS-HLD organizations numbering more than 250,000 people. Actively spending its resources on state-of-the-art technologies and services, Saudi Arabia is creating globally unparalleled business opportunities, some of which include: Saudi-Iraqi border fence & Saudi-Yemen border Fence:Description: Hundreds of miles of border & perimeter protection technologies.Opportunities: Computer-controlled surveillance equipment, electronic gates, thermal imaging equipment, advanced communication systems, electronic detection equipment, cameras.Oil industryDescription: Additional 35 000 people, doubling airport and maritime security personel over 2008-2018 period.Opportunities: IT, perimeter protection equipment & personnel, hazmat decontamination, risk assesment, maritime security.Private sectorDescription: Banking & Financial, Utilities, Infrastructure, Transport.Opportunities: Perimeter control, emergency planning, VIP protection, access control, biometrics.This landmark report represents several researcher years, dozens of interviews, and in-depth analysis of thousands of documents; the resulting produce is a comprehensive roadmap of this huge and intriguing Homeland Security market. Some highlights include:- Detailed deciphering of the complex multi-tier, inter-dependent, Saudi organizations, employing over 250,000 people, and devoted exclusively to HLS - making major procurement decisions.- 18 HLS sub-segment market forecasts and analysis (e.g. Aviation Security, Counter-terror Intel, Maritime, Saudi Oil & Gas security, Ministry of Interior, Private Sector security, IT).- Dozens of Saudi Arabian market business opportunities segmented by HLS industry (e.g. Intel, Cyber-security, Permeter Protection).
