Monitor the counterattack

In recent years, with the continuous improvement of people's security surveillance network cameras, the security monitoring industry has developed rapidly. The application of surveillance network cameras has been developed from the needs of the mass market of individual industries, monitoring the development of local cross-regional and inter-provincial development, and the network surveillance cameras from analog surveillance cameras have multiple advantages. As companies continue to pursue the clarity of the image, high-definition displays have gradually become the industry's development trend.

The vast majority of early monitoring applications by domestic surveillance companies for counterfeit high-definition applications are still used in high-end areas such as finance, public security, campuses, and smart cities. Most of the competitions encountered are domestic brands. In the age of simulation, the underlying core technology was controlled by foreign manufacturers, and Chinese manufacturers were basically producing and assembling. In the era of digital high-definition, more and more manufacturers write their own 3A algorithms to master the definition, color, focus, and exposure technologies of cameras. In addition, in the era of digital high-definition, as a competitive high-definition monitoring company, it is best to provide IPC, NVR, hybrid DVR, decoders, platforms and other full range of complementary products and solutions, rather than just IPC, it is precisely This point, the domestic manufacturers have more advantages, before doing domestic manufacturers of high-definition today have done DVR and video surveillance software. In contrast, some foreign IPC manufacturers only purely do IPC and cannot package and sell the products. Other HD manufacturers' NVRs and decoders are required to be compatible with them.

The IPC price war will become even fiercer in the future. From the current domestic surveillance camera market, the sales of IP high-definition cameras are increasing, and analog cameras are declining. At present, many domestic bidding projects such as Ping'an City, Ping'an Village, Ping'an Campus, and bank monitoring require IP high-definition cameras with a resolution of 1280 x 720 or more, and in many civilian monitoring areas, IP high-definition picture quality, simple wiring, and comprehensive cost Low-level advantages are accepted by users.

Digital HD and IPC have brought new opportunities to many security companies. Everyone is facing a new race in the new era. Many manufacturers hope to have a new turn in the digital high-definition era, or they hope to achieve greater sales and more concentration in the high-definition reshuffle. Change. Companies with R&D capabilities have high thresholds for high-definition technologies and high starting points, blocking analog plants that lack technology research and development outside the high-definition door. As companies gradually grasp the core technologies of IPC cameras, it is easier to achieve individualization and differentiation, thereby avoiding the homogenous price war. Compared with the analog era, digital HD era is more conducive to the development of R & D companies. IPC will face the same price war as DVR era, even faster than the price war in DVR era. After a war, the industry will return to tranquility, will have more industry order, industry rules, more rational and standardized, more rationalized profit, detailed division of labor, and each has its own strengths. The number of manufacturers ranges from a few thousand to the last dozen or even fewer.

Network Surveillance Cameras in the Next Five Years According to surveys, the global network camera market will maintain steady growth in the next five years. In 2013, the global network camera shipments are expected to be about 85.6 million units. By 2017, this figure will rise to 1.145. Billion Taiwan. On the one hand, in the analog surveillance market, especially in the past year or so, camera solutions based on lower-cost CMOS sensors have been widely recognized in the market, and the image resolution has been raised from the original 500 TVL to 700 TVL. And the overall cost of the camera is also much cheaper than the CCD sensor solution. These immersed analog surveillance markets have triggered a new wave of image resolution upgrades. It also allows people to see that the analog surveillance market is still full of vitality while the networked solutions are rapidly developing.

CMOS sensors have been able to revitalize the growth of the CCTV surveillance market in the past two years. The main reason is that due to the significant increase in the performance of CMOS sensors, the image resolution has increased to 600-700 TVL, and in the future it can even jump to 750-800 TVL. CMOS itself has made great progress in high temperature range performance, high integration, chip size, low power consumption, and low cost, thus laying a solid foundation for the development of analog surveillance cameras toward higher definition.

On the other hand, the high-speed growth of the network monitoring market is still the main theme in recent years. 720p and 1080p high-definition cameras have become the main force in the market at this stage, and products with higher image resolution of 10MP and 4K2K are also being brewed. . After obtaining the high-definition monitoring experience, the user also puts forward higher requirements for the network monitoring system, and hopes that the high-definition network camera can bring greater commercial value and have more intelligent functions.
