Video Surveillance "Breaking the City" in a Good Time

Recently, the National Development and Reform Commission, the Ministry of Finance, and other nine departments jointly issued the "Opinions on Strengthening the Networked Application of Public Security Video Surveillance Construction" (hereinafter referred to as the "Opinions") to propose the construction of the public security video surveillance target. "By 2020, the basic realization will be achieved." "Global coverage, network-wide sharing, full-time availability, and full-controllable" public security video surveillance construction networking applications have achieved remarkable results in strengthening public security prevention and control, optimizing traffic travel, serving city management, and innovating social governance." The new round of favorable policies has allowed the security industry to see a brighter future. In particular, video surveillance has ushered in a good era of "slowly attacking cities."

Industry development is vibrant

The data shows that the global shipments of video surveillance equipment in 2015 will increase by 25% from 2014, and it is expected to reach 5.75 million. At present, in the video surveillance market in China, domestic companies Hikvision and Dahua are ranked in the top two. With their low prices, the two companies have not only taken a domestic and overseas market but also have been expanding their business scale.

However, the development of the market is always unexpected. In February of this year, Canon announced that it will acquire Axis (AXIS), a company with a purchase price of 2.8 billion U.S. dollars, setting a record high. In the field of global video surveillance, Axis’ market share ranks first. In other words, if this acquisition can be successfully completed, Canon will successfully top the industry, leaving Hikvision and Dahua behind.

Zhu Fugang, chief engineer of the Ministry of Public Security’s Science and Technology Information Bureau, introduced that in 2013 alone, public security agencies across the country had used video surveillance services nearly 420,000 times to serve people’s lives nearly 10 million times. It can be said that the public security industry has become a new opportunity for the development of the video surveillance industry and can help them achieve an organic unity of economic and social benefits. Under the stimulation of the industrial market, the video surveillance industry has become a vibrant sunrise industry in the development of the national economy.

An important part of the "Smart City"

In recent years, the construction of "smart cities" has rapidly developed and the public's public safety and security awareness has gradually increased. The development of the overall technology environment such as informationization, Internet of things, and cloud computing applications not only raises higher requirements for security product technology, but also presents a broad space for the application of video surveillance security and security products.

The "Opinions" clearly stated that in the construction of public video surveillance, integrated applications should be promoted, and modern technologies such as data mining, portrait comparison, license plate recognition, intelligent early warning, radio frequency, geographic information, and Beidou navigation should be applied to fully consider the technological maturity. Based on this, we will increase the integration and application of public safety video surveillance systems, and increase the comprehensive application level of video image information. We will gradually establish national and provincial public safety video image data processing and analysis centers to deepen the application of video image information forecasting and early warning, real-time monitoring, trajectory tracking, and fast retrieval. Promote the interface between the video surveillance system and the comprehensive video networking system.

This regulation coincides with the technical development track of video surveillance equipment, industry analysts have analyzed that the future monitoring system will use advanced Internet technology, computer technology, communications technology to form a unified national monitoring network, integrate all The resources used, combined with work-life requirements, provide resources for various departments to share. These resources will not only be used on a large scale in security and security, but will also play an important role in urban emergency, intelligent transportation, green building, government supervision, environmental monitoring, emergency command, and disaster control. However, for the large-scale and various types of image resources at the present stage, such as analog monitoring, DVR monitoring, network monitoring, wireless monitoring, mobile phone monitoring, social security monitoring, and video conferencing, how to carry out unified management and integration to form a The big system is a problem that needs to be solved.

Purchasing items increase year by year

By reading the Catalogue and Standards for Centralized Government Procurement of Central Budget Units 2015-2016 issued by the General Office of the State Council, it can be found that the video surveillance equipment is not in it, but appears in the centralized procurement catalogue of several departments such as the General Administration of Customs. . In the practice of government procurement, the purchase items of video surveillance equipment show an upward trend year by year both in terms of the number of projects and the amount of purchases.

Today, the introduction of the "Opinions" also provides a more reliable guarantee for the development of the video surveillance industry in terms of policies. The "Opinions" proposed that all localities should include the construction of the video surveillance system in key public areas, the funding for networking and maintenance in the government budget of the corresponding level, establish a funding guarantee mechanism that suits the needs of economic and social development, and ensure the construction of the system according to actual work needs. Operation and maintenance shall be supported; related departments shall guide the industry and the field to perform safety duties according to law and ensure the investment of funds. We must give full play to the role of the market, guide the participation of social forces, broaden diversified investment channels, encourage and support qualified enterprises and institutions to fulfill their social responsibilities, and undertake the task of building video surveillance systems in the public areas around the unit.

Localization will become a general trend

With the establishment of the Central Cyber ​​Security and Information Group, the country’s emphasis on network and information security has increased. The industry generally believes that the security industry plays the role of the “gatekeeper” of the government, enterprises, and communities. It is very important to control the security industry. Localization will also become a general trend.

One of the goals of Public Opinion Monitoring in the “Opinions” is to control the entire process. That is, the layered security system for the networked application of public safety video surveillance systems is basically established, and important video image information is not lost and sensitive video image information is not revealed. At the same time, strict security measures. In accordance with the relevant national regulations, strengthen the construction of technical means such as network security transmission, system security assurance, and important information security management, and improve the security protection capabilities of public security video surveillance systems. Strictly manage the use of public video image information, improve safety technology measures, and ensure safe sharing and standard use. To carry out public safety video surveillance construction and application work in special areas involving **** and state secrets, strict safety access mechanisms should be adopted, and safe and controlled product equipment and professional service teams that meet the requirements should be selected.
