Our Top 4 Predictions for 2022 Video Security Industry Trends
January 11, 2022
While the world is filled with continued uncertainty, and issues such as the supply chain backlog will likely take time to resolve, Hikvision is seeing trends in the video security market that we believe will continue to drive behavior this year.
Below are our top four predictions about 2022 video security industry trends:
- Problem-Solving Security Technology: Customers are always looking for affordable technology that solves key problems. We often call this innovative, and what that means in the field is overcoming challenges faced by traditional security systems. Innovations such as illuminating dark spaces around the clock without requiring additional, supplemental lighting enhance visuals, making it easier to identify a perpetrator of a crime. It also refers to new technology that combines several solutions into one to enhance deterrence with audio and visual notifications, or reduce false alarms while making it easier to quickly find specific video footage with enhanced detection.
- Full Color Video Security 24/7: Traditional security cameras only capture black and white footage in darkness or at night. Technological innovations such as ColorVu G2 offer advanced Deep Learning algorithms to enhance video and image capture, providing full color in darkness (without supplemental lighting). This provides security personnel with key details especially in the event of an incident, because the actual color of a person’s shirt or a vehicle are clearly visible when reviewing footage. ColorVu G2 is also enhanced with AcuSense technology to reduce false alarms and improve detection of humans and vehicles. This type of technology delivers actionable results for security personnel and improved protection of property and assets. We expect demand for this kind of security system to grow.
- 4G Solar-Powered Security Systems: Crowded urban areas have a very expensive cost of construction and labor for wiring to the large number of buildings and streets. Remote areas such as agricultural and cannabis fields typically do not have access to traditional power and network connections. Yet all these applications require security to protect valuable property and assets. Security systems powered by 4G cellular connections and solar power offer a unique, affordable, lightweight, and easy to deploy solution for these applications that had often previously been ignored.
- Video Management Systems (VMS): VMS such as HikCentral offer a wide range of analytics features, business intelligence, and peace of mind by enabling you to check into a business from your smartphone or PC from anywhere. By viewing live or recorded video footage in the VMS application, you can view multiple business locations conveniently for security, loss prevention, and business operations management without having to spend time and money travelling to each location. It enables you and your security team to exponentially manage your business and improve efficiency, giving you valuable insights into customer trends, theft and more.
