IT challenges drive demand for IP surveillance

Jul 11, 2006 3:49 PM

The need for remote accessibility of real-time data has expanded the market for IP surveillance solutions. Because the compilation and accessibility of real-time data have been the greatest challenges for end-users, but these challenges are significantly translating into better market opportunities for the surveillance industry.
New analysis from Frost and Sullivan, entitled "World Internet Protocol (IP) Surveillance Markets," indicates that IP surveillance earned revenues of $435.8 million in 2005 and estimates to reach $6.48 billion in 2012.
"An IP surveillance system facilitates remote accessibility of real-time data, which is the greatest differentiating factor with respect to conventional systems," says Frost and Sullivan Research Analyst Sathya Durga. "Through this feature any video data which may be live or recorded can be accessed from any location in the world through network systems."
According to Durga, the need for IT integration challenges the growth of IP surveillance market due to the requirement for a network facility for IP surveillance. The security department managed traditional surveillance systems. However, the IP surveillance systems furthermore require the IT department to work on it. This demands for effective integration of IT and security departments.
