Video Surveillance Growth
From Public Eye:
A nice article from Washington Technology on intelligent video surveillance systems. It notes the problem with false alarms and privacy concerns:
Typical concerns with other systems include a high rate of false alarms and an inability to distinguish significant events from common "video noise," such as the motion of a flag waving, he said.
Although it has little new information, the reporter talked to several important people. Here is what they had to say:
Alan Lipton from ObjectVideo: "History has shown that you need brains behind the eyeballs watching the videos"
Bruce Dewitte from Northrop Grumman: "Guards can get overwhelmed with the amount of video content"
Joe Freeman from J.P. Freeman Co. Inc: Freeman expects the $7 billion global video surveillance industry to grow to $13 billion within five years. IT integrators' share of the revenue may be only about 10 percent now, but it is growing, Freeman said.
Steven Hutchens, Homeland Security Director: "We're cognizant of the need for video integration," Hutchens said. "We see it as a growth area."
John Honovich, Maximum Level Physical Protection Systems Corp: "But in two to five years, the most valuable solutions for video surveillance will be IT-based."
Arthur Chang, Cradle Technologies: "Intelligent video is a huge trend" "We're moving from forensic analysis to preventative analysis."
