Features like motion detection and camera tamper, embedded in surveillance devices and offered as free by manufacturers, will be increasingly joined by applications for more sophisticated video content analysis (VCA). A clear divide will emerge between free lower-end applications and chargeable higher-end applications, the U.K.-based group predicts.
IMS researcher Jon Cropley, author of “The World Market for Video Content Analysis in Security & Business Intelligence Applications,” said the higher-end analytics will mirror the needs of society and advances in surveillance technology.
“Applications include people counting, identifying customer traffic patterns, assessing customer dwell times at different areas of a shop, and analyzing the length of queue lines, to name but a few,” Cropley told Security Systems News. “Then there are technology improvements such as (fewer) false alarms, searchable analytics and increasing processing power, enabling more applications at the edge.”
