City Surveillance,HDCCCTV, Cloud-Based video, the Indian and Chinese markets, analytic, the move to 3D and thermal imaging.
All are covered in IMS Research's forecast for 2011, as Brian Sims reports. Wireless infrastructure has a number of things going
for it right now. First, it reduces the cost of infrastructure when compared with the tradisional trenching and laying of cable
which, in the current economic enviroment, is unsuprisingly popular. Second, wireless infrastructure offers networking in areas
of cultural significance, such as city centers and historic sites, without the need to dig up roads: in same cases, its the only option.
Third, wireless technology can be used in temporary video surveillance installations to provide a degree of flexibility that a wierd
solution just cannot offer. In these days of austerity, moving cameras when and where you need them is the more attractive option
than buying new ones. Finally, the end user sector that suits wireless infrastructure best is city surveillance (municipalities), which
just happen to be the fastest-growing vertical market for video surveillance.
