Trend8:
IoT in video surveillance a mixed bag
Mobile security cameras are relatively common now
in the video surveillance market. IHS estimates that
1.3 million cameras were shipped into mobile applica-
tions in police cars, trains, trams, transit buses, school
buses and body-worn applications worldwide in 2015.
The Internet of Things (IoT) is a technological evolu-
tion based on how connected devices can be used to
enhance communication, automate complex industrial
processes, and make cities and homes smarter. Accor-
ding to IHS there will be 25 billion smart appliances,
wearables, game players, and other consumer devices
connected to the Internet of Things (IoT) by 2025.
Mobile video surveillance is good at capturing what has
happened in the vicinity of a vehicle it is attached to.
Body-worn cameras have taken this mobility one step
further, recording the scene as viewed by an individual
police officer.
However, to date, there has not been a truly mobile
security camera: one capable of following an event ir-
respective of whether the person or vehicle it is attached to is close by.
enter the drone-camera
As IHS reported in its CPSE event review, a number of exhibition stands
featured drone nets at the show. Expect this to become an increasingly
common feature at security trade shows around the world.
Drones have been used for military purposes for many years. Howe-
ver, the potential video surveillance applications are extremely exciting,
especially in the public safety market. For example, a number of police
forces have shown interest in using them to extend their surveillance
networks to the skies. In the United Kingdom, forces in Cumbria, Kent,
Lincolnshire, Dorset, Devon, and Cornwall have already stated that they
are trialing drones. Similarly, the Tokyo police are launching a police
unit capable of defending citizens from drone attacks, a threat which will
become increasingly likely as drones become more common.
The sky is the limit
IHS also predicts that enterprising video surveillance equipment vendors
will increasingly offer their own video surveillance equipment on drones,
either through OEM arrangements or through strategic partnerships with
drone manufacturers. This has already started, with Hikvision promoting
its own drone at recent trade shows and exhibitions. As drone technology
improves driven by the consumer electronics market and initiatives such
as Amazon's drone delivery system the sky is the limit for drone-camera
technology.
Whilst there is still much hype on the concept, IHS has made some
predictions on the impact in the real world of IoT on the video surveillance
market:
1.
The IoT will have no impact on the commercial video surveillance mar-
ket in 2016. Security systems integrators are generally slow to adopt new
technology and the proliferation of wireless connectivity will not change
how professional video surveillance projects are installed or how video
surveillance cameras interact with other connected "things".

. The residential security market has already been fundamentally changed
by the IoT. The `smart home', an IoT application, has been built around
the security and video surveillance offering. MSOs, such as Comcast and
AT&T, have entered the residential security market offering connected in-
truder systems and security cameras. Incumbent security service providers,
such as ADT and Vivint, have increased their product offerings to include
connected devices for energy, heating, home automation and, of course,
video surveillance. Companies offering smart home devices, such as Sam-
sung Smartthings and Lowe's Iris, also feature video surveillance products
prominently in their core bundles.

By 2020, the IoT will have some impact on how enterprise commercial
video surveillance projects are implemented. The security camera will no
longer only be a security product. It will also act as a sensor for the building
to assess room capacity, the movement of people and identify who has
entered the building. The IoT will drive the building's decision to apply
heating, lighting, and entrance control as well as a whole host of other
scenarios that haven't been thought of yet.

The video surveillance IoT story will start in the United States, but
China will quickly become the leader for connectivity in physical security.
Western Europe will lag behind both regions.
5.
By 2025, even small commercial and retail video surveillance systems
will be interacting with buildings and leveraging the IoT to provide heating
and lighting solutions, automated access control, and even communicating
with your smart home to let it know when you leave the office.

Fermax will be present at IFSEC 2016 Exhibition which will be held at Excel Centre London from the 21
st
to the

rd
of June. Come to visit our stand E1300 and discover all the cutting-edge technology in door entry system,
integrated with access control and home automation solutions.
FERMAX door entry monitors combine the essence of communication with the beauty of
world-class styling, not only respecting the architecture of a building but enhancing it.
