In its fifth annual year-end look ahead at the main trends in surveillance for the coming year, IHS has highlighted a number of technologies and opportunities that should serve as a heads-up for systems integrators who are looking to stay ahead of the curve in 2014 — which should be another banner year for video surveillance.
In its report, IHS states the overall market for video equipment will grow by more than 12 percent in 2014. The fastest-growing product segments within that market will be fixed-dome and 180-/360-deg. network cameras. In terms of top verticals, that distinction goes to the city surveillance and utilities/energy sectors. Savvy integrators will keep these things in mind as they pursue business opportunities in the next 12 months.
