Between us professionals: do not let your video surveillance monitor down

You may want to read this through sunglasses. The future for practical market security practitioners is currently so bright.

This applies in particular to those who can adapt to the exploitation of video and access control, fulfill the increasing user demand for growing functions and further develop their service offers in order to use the possibilities.

Hopefully the promise of an energetic company in 2025 for the security industry, which will become the final significant event at Security Investor Conference (SIC) – 2024S.

The litmus test takes place in ISC West 2025, which is planned in Las Vegas from March 31 to April 4th and which I expect to boom in the air with electricity.

The security market is particularly active

At the sic, SSI The industry hall of Famer John Mack, head of the security group of Imperial Capital, stuck to end to end.

In fact, this consolidation was the top trend that he emphasized, followed by remote monitoring and guard.

The Security Industry Association (SIA) also presented its security megatrends from 2025 during the SIC. I would like to point out some support of my above claims:

• Number 1: Development of the channel;
• Number 2: AI; Intelligent automation of security;
• Number 4: visual intelligence, not video surveillance; And
• Number 5: IT-OT security convergence.

All of these developments aim to increase the efficiency and effectiveness, security and security as well as the value of the data aggregation and at the same time reduce the costs and human errors.

Remote Video Guarding is one of the most successful, most impressive and practical manifestations of these trends and an enormous opportunity for integrators, usually through partnership with video-centered surveillance companies of third-party providers.

The service-derus eliminated noise and false alarms with an optimized option, never miss an event and prevents them in real time via live operator-voice downs and if necessary receives primary police response, can have integrators for their end user of higher value Customers and achieve recurring income than ever before.

It also opens up a completely new market for integrators that reinforce or completely replace human guards. Apart from the strange dealer, who both waking up messengers or their own guards to react to alarms, there were usually two completely separate industries for many decades. However, the technology excludes the gap and carries out a new convergence area.

Rely on technology

Human guards are increasingly relying on the technology to be more efficient, and electronic security professionals use visual, automated and reaction technologies, which does a superior, cheaper work and at the same time keeps people out of their way.

Similar advantages extend to the law enforcement authorities, since the remote video surveillance is avoided to waste exhausting personnel resources and to improve both the reaction results and the security of the officials. This has caused security and automation functions to acquire and expand their video and automation functions, such as Prosegur by the recent purchase of the Stealth monitoring.

The reality is that guard companies cannot continue their current path with the progress of the technology in connection with the increasing costs and the lack of workers.

When securing new ways in October, the Allied Universal CEO of Allied Universal, Steve Jones, said the audience that his company, which in the USA uses a force of 350,000 guards, conducts up to 70,000 interviews per week, a pace of To maintain 4,000 weekly settings! This is not sustainable. No wonder that Jones said he was a great supporter of technology, and that the optimal solution is a combination of workers and technology.

This fusion of electronic and human security was documented by Robert Perry & Associates, the leading tracker of the US contract security market. The reports have recognized the interest, the need, the need and active introduction of security companies of video surveillance, system integration and other non-traditional services.

Video surveillance guards are not usurpated

According to this market analysts, the guards will not be usurpated Integrated guardThis is the combination of man -made guard with remote video and mobile vehicle patrol.

Ultimately, drones and robotics will further disturb the protective industry and at the same time offer additional options for integrators and surveillance companies.

Now it is time to attend existing customers again, employ guards and expand new sales opportunities to include the monitoring of videos in real time and the prevention of crime.
