Development of CCTV Surveillance Industry in Future
According to an announcement from the Security and Protection Forum, the National Transportation Department will set up a nation-wide highway network management platform, and gradually realize the CCTV surveillance systems on highways all over the country. The set-up of this highway CCTV surveillance system will help the information development of transportation industry. Guangdong Inspection And Quarantine Bureau also announced the obvious achievements of using CCTV surveillance system. They installed CCTV surveillance equipment in the walk-in cooler for imported meat storage as well as in the dispatch dock. It helps to strengthen the inspection and quarantine of imported meat at the spot and destroy a lot of smuggled livestock frozen products. As you can see, CCTV security systems have been more and more widely used in various industries and departments and made a great contribution to the management of various business.
In the meanwhile CCTV surveillance industry is facing a promising prospect in China market. CCTV surveillance system refers to a kind of technology which uses security cameras to catch real-time message from far distance or distance that is hard to reach, and then send the message instantly to the user’s end technology. Now CCTV security system is mainly applied to government departments, banks and telecommunications. These three sectors account for 58% of the market share. Customs, transportation, schools, forestry, logistics, entertainment, family, etc. have different extent of applications but the market requirements are on a sharp rise. According to an analysis report of some research company, in 2010 China’s CCTV surveillance industry has a total production value of RMB 20.1 billion compared to 16.3 billion in 2009 with an increase of around 23%. The report estimated that in 2011 the total production value will reach as much as 25.2 billion with an increase of 25.4%. The CCTV surveillance market will keep a rising speed of at least 20% in the coming several years.
The reason why CCTV surveillance products are used so widely is that first, the China government focuses greatly on information technology in the recent years, which promotes the application of CCTV surveillance technology. In China, the 15th and 16th national congress of the communist party both pointed out that information industry would be developed with priority. Secondly, the market requirements are expanding continuously and the CCTV surveillance market is becoming mature. In many industries in China, the disadvantages of traditional management methods are becoming more and more obvious. They consume high cost and much resources. But CCTV surveillance methods can increase working efficiency to a large extent and save management cost. Take transportation as an example, originally quite a lot of traffic policemen are required to monitor the road situations. But now the use of CCTV surveillance technology like “electronic eyes” has saved the transportation department much trouble. Third, the mature of CCTV surveillance technology and the trend of lower cost make the surveillance technology much more accessible to the common public. Two of the important points in CCTV security technology are camera equipment terminal and broad band access. With the development of technology, the security camera price is reduced. Now a standard security camera is only several hundred yuan. The increasing broad band speed is high enough to carry pictures and messages. The cost of broad band access becomes lower and more and more people use it. In some better-off rural regions, some farmers have begun to use CCTV surveillance technology to find economic profit. In Zhejiang Province, some pig farmers use security cameras to monitor the pig farms. In this fully enclosed environment, the pigs have less chances of getting infectious diseases and is easier for farmers to manage. This is one of the examples to show the popular applications of CCTV security technology.
The development trend of CCTV surveillance technology is becoming clearer and clearer. Seen from the trend of requirement, CCTV surveillance industry applications will have three characteristics. First, the scope of using CCTV surveillance systems are becoming wider and wider, developing from traditional security surveillance to management surveillance and production surveillance. For the same system’s coverage and application distance, higher standards of requirements are demanded. Second, CCTV surveillance systems, information management systems, and network systems will be combined to realize a great deal of CCTV data compressed storage, transportation and automatic processing, so that the resources can be shared and the managers and decision-makers will enjoy the convenient, quick and effective service. Third, demand from personal application market will become bigger and bigger. With the increasing demand of family security from personal users, the awareness of using CCTV surveillance systems to protect their homes are increasing and the CCTV security market keeps expanding. From the technology development point of view, CCTV surveillance technology is developed towards digital, network, and intelligence. The basic of network and intelligence is on digital. While intelligence is the highest target of these three. The system’s change from eye explained to automatic explained is a big leap in CCTV surveillance technology, and an inevitable development for security and protection technology.
