Future monitoring companies focus on intelligent monitoring

The history of the security industry is very detailed. In those years, the main characteristic of the traditional analog surveillance market was "Products are King". It has been paying more attention to hardware development and manufacturing. However, as the industry’s hardware R&D and manufacturing capabilities continue to increase and products are diversified and enriched, there is more room for users to choose, and the user’s focus will gradually shift to the business level, with more and more users Looking at the company's soft power, which is the software R & D capability, Xiaobian of Yabang Technology believes that the Chinese security industry has gradually changed from "products are king" to "services are king" provided by software development.

The Importance of Monitoring Enterprise Software Development In the past when people were paying attention to video surveillance products, the focus of attention was always on hardware, cameras, hard disk recorders, matrices, video walls, and so on. Behind these veteran products that have made great contributions to video surveillance, video surveillance management software is getting more and more attention and plays an increasingly important role in video surveillance systems.

Video surveillance management software can be roughly divided into three categories: The first category is the management software provided by each hardware vendor for its own hardware products. Such software only supports the management and control of its own hardware products of its own vendor. The hardware support is high, but the functionality is more simple and the integration of multiple data is lower.

The second category is video management software for carrier's business, such as video management software used by telecommunication's global eye business. Such software has stronger capabilities for the support of the Internet architecture, multi-point, and large amount of data processing. The function is relatively simple; the third type of video surveillance software is not based on operational services, nor is it owned by any hardware vendor, but is a professional video surveillance management software provided by an independent video surveillance software provider, due to the compatibility of such software It is widely used in various monitoring systems such as cities, roads, security, buildings, factories, campuses, and airports because of its powerful features, high degree of professionalism, and high degree of integration.

The transition from being a product to being a king to being a service is in line with the development characteristics of China's security era. The current business of network HD monitoring is to provide customers with more and more application space and value-added services, instead of focusing on products, but With the plan as the king, the status and role of security software companies are gradually highlighted because software will become the “brain” and core of networked video surveillance systems, and products will gradually become the “four limbs” of secondary status. Due to the maturity of network technology and the drastic drop in network costs, the higher requirements for video surveillance in technology and market make the network digitalization system more and more mature.

In particular, many areas such as the financial system, campus monitoring, public security laws, and smart cities that have been in the ascendance in the past two years have required multiple centralized monitoring and centralized management. Such as cross-regional banking network monitoring, urban security monitoring, etc., are very representative. Now many security monitoring companies are thinking, how can we be able to satisfy the increasing demands of our customers on a single platform? How to achieve different applications through the combination of hardware and software? How to use the lowest cost to achieve unified management of multiple devices? These are problems that need to be solved in the current stage of network monitoring with service as king.

In addition, video surveillance software can also integrate access control, infrared, perimeter, temperature and humidity control devices, and form a diversified monitoring system to improve the quality and efficiency of monitoring. In addition, video surveillance software can also be interfaced with security, fire control, scheduling and other systems to achieve the associated applications with a variety of data information, making the monitoring system better integrated into the industry applications.
