The video surveillance market is growing at a rapid pace. The coming years are going to witness several long-term trends in the surveillance market: a stronger need to curb anti-social activities, the move from standard definition analog equipment to high definition 4k equipment and price wars between equipment manufacturers is set to fuel the industry. An industry that is so dynamic in nature requires the design and deployment of an array of survelliance products across airports, military bases, residential, commercial and enterprise spaces, public transit, law enforcement and government establishments. Solutions ranging from video surveillance and biometric access control to identity management and public safety, among others are enabling countries and institutions to ensure a higher level of safety and security for the well being of citizens.
