Under the poorest lighting conditions, the DarkFighter sees clearly in color
what others can only see in black and white. DarkFighter delivers exceptional
low-light color images at up to 60fps. During the day, with its superior WDR,
it can see through high contrast conditions, such as overly dark or extremely
brightly lit areas, to deliver clear images. In a surveillance world that needs to
see 24/7/365, the DarkFighter delivers where others can't.

Top trends for the video
surveillance market 2015
Lennart Alexandrie, Publisher
The End of the Beginning
T
here are no
doubts that
changes within the security market are in many
cases mainly supported and conducted by the
manufacturers and developers of network video
surveillance products. It is in this sector where
the sales volume and growth exists, and also
where the visions and forward-looking initia-
tives are coming from. Through today´s open
VMS platforms, integration and interoperability
between different security systems are offered
an alternative control centre and an easy user
interface.
When the Detektor magazine started 25
years ago, the intruder alarm system was the
centre of the security technology business in
Europe. It was also the intruder sector where the
highest growth figures could be found, and for
a magazine like Detektor where the most
advertisement revenue was to be secured. The
optimism for the future was high, especially as
the alarm system was considered as an ideal hub
for offering interoperability between different
security systems. But already at the beginning
of 2000 the focus on interoperability moved
over to access control systems. And it was these
systems that brought different security functions
into one single user interface.
Today this tendency is seen in a very different
area, now, it is the management system that
controls video surveillance, which has become
the starting point for interoperability between
different security functions, primarily between
video surveillance and access control. There are
several reasons behind this development.
The video surveillance products manufactur-
ers as a collective are more likely to succeed
in being the unifying force for bringing integra-
tion and interoperability to the market. First of
all video surveillance has always been global, in
the sense that most countries rely on imported
brands, compared to the access control market,
which is often dominated by local brands. And
compared to the alarm product market, the
video surveillance product providers have not
been restricted by a history of local regulations
and standards, which has made it much easier to
expand export sales. But most of all, the video
surveillance product manufacturers were the
first in the security market to adopt network
technologies and through their forum ONVIF,
act collectively to enable a higher interoperabil-
ity through the use of video products focused on
network-based technology and open platforms.
Three years ago this campaign was also broad-
ened to include access control products.
Just as steadfastly as access control system
manufacturers have made customers dependent
on their products through a proprietary strategy,
the IP video surveillance companies have
encouraged open platforms to make it easier to
find solutions corresponding with the security
service needs of the customer. The crucial point
for having customer loyalty is to deliver true
benefits, no matter on which technology these
security functions and services are based video
surveillance, access control or alarm systems.
At this year's ISC West Axis launched an
open new network based HD video door
station. It is of course part of the company's
strategy to link networked access control and
video surveillance together to be handled and
controlled through a VMS system. No surprise
that Genetec also presented an update on their
access control solution and that Milestone Sys-
tems promoted their access control module for
the Xprotect VMS software.
We will of course see more access control
features and products from video product sup-
pliers in the future. Especially access solutions
where the user interface is handled through the
VMS. More manufacturers of access control will
also be targets for cooperation or acquisition for
today's providers of video surveillance products.
This trend will drive the development
towards a service-based market. The agile IT-ori-
ented security companies see opportunities for
using open network-based platforms to enable
a wider range of scalable services to a market
that today is dominated by product oriented
providers of proprietary systems. After all, the
big game changer is when Security as a Service
has become the business model of the security
industry. Then we will see the real benefits of
what the network video surveillance sector has
brought to the security market. We are for sure
just at the beginning of a new era. Or to quote
the final part of a famous speech by the legend-
ary British Prime Minister Winston Churchill.
"it is, perhaps, the end of the beginning".
