Frost & Sullivan to Host Analyst Briefing on the High Resolution Video
Surveillance Cameras Market on Thursday, 8 April 2010
LONDON, March 31 /PRNewswire/ -- The video surveillance cameras market has been
changing tremendously in the recent years. Camera manufacturers are on the fast
lane bringing in major improvements to address the ever-increasing need for
security. With video surveillance becoming the norm from low-end shops to
high-end critical infrastructure, manufacturers are faced with more
opportunities than ever before.

These market developments will be discussed during Frost & Sullivan's next
quarterly Analyst Briefing on the High Resolution Video Surveillance Cameras
Market on Thursday, 8 April 2010, at 14.00 BST. The presentation will include
analyses of technology trends, cameras market sizing and competitive adoption
trends.
Great strides made by camera component providers have aided camera manufacturers
to introduce technologically advanced, feature-rich, yet affordable solutions in
the recent years. Latest advancements provide greater image detail and carry out
intelligent analysis of video thereby positioning video as a must-have in
applications of every kind.
"In addition, advanced integration and remote monitoring capabilities combined
with falling prices are positioning surveillance as an affordable solution in
security and non-security applications," observes Archana Rao, Senior Research
Analyst for Frost & Sullivan Electronics & Security group. The market study
conducted recently explores further the impact caused by a flurry of IT
companies entering the video surveillance space.
This briefing will benefit video surveillance camera providers, surveillance
camera component manufacturers, distributors, and also system integrators by
discussing technology trends and providing forward projections for the European
high resolution video surveillance cameras market.
To participate in the briefing, please email Joanna Lewandowska at
joanna.lewandowska@frost.com with the following information: your full name,
company name, title, telephone number, e-mail, address, city, state and country.
Upon receipt of the above information, a registration link will be e-mailed to

Almost 50 percent of NYC subway cameras don't work
Almost 50 percent of NYC subway cameras don't work
This is New York and not some small random city in the world !
Lack of Video Slows Hunt for a Killer in the Subway
While there were some conflicting witness accounts, the police believe the man who fatally stabbed two others with a knife during a subway brawl early Sunday morning fled the train at the Christopher Street station.
Ruth Fremson/The New York Times
There are no cameras in the Christopher Street station, where the police believe a killer fled.
In an era of heightened security, when it seems as if virtually every step one takes in Lower Manhattan is captured on hidden camera
somewhere, subway surveillance cameras might well have recorded the man
leaving the station.
Except for one problem: the Christopher Street station has no cameras.
Moreover, nearly half of the subway system’s 4,313 security cameras that have been installed — in stations and tunnels throughout the
system — do not work, because of either shoddy software or construction
problems, say officials with the Metropolitan Transportation Authority, which operates the city’s bus, subway and train system.
http://www.nytimes.com/2010/03/30/nyregion/30subway.html
Can you talk about how one can fix this problem?
Does it need a fix? How can one use exiting cameras and infrastructure and upgrade with less money?

Retail Survey Shows Crime Increases Tied to Economy: Is this the time to add security?
Retail Survey Shows Crime Increases Tied to Economy:
Is this the time to add security?
-The Retail Industry Leaders Association (RILA) today released the Current Crime Trends Survey, revealing evidence that crimes against retailers are trending upward in correlation with the down economy.
The survey examines the observations from 52 of the largest and fastest growing retailers in the US, ranging from grocery, drugstore, and mass merchant to specialty apparel, electronics and appliances, and fabric and craft retail. Focusing on the time period associated with the current economic downturn, the survey seeks to identify corresponding trends in unlawful activity.
The report concludes that crimes of opportunity as well as more sophisticated organized retail crime (ORC) are on the rise across all retail segments.
Key findings include:
84% report an increase in theft/amateur shoplifting
76% report an increase in financial fraud
80% report increases in organized retail crime
77% of specialty retailers report increases in ORC
If you need a security system for your retail shop and also can view your shop remotely live or also view recorded video on regular bandwidth then contact us

Is frame rate important for 24/7 monitoring and surveillance
Is frame rate important for 24/7 monitoring and surveillance
Looking at all these IP cameras and VMS software and finding out that because of either network bandwidth or storage capacity or both, frame rate is frequently capped at 7.5 or 10 or 15 fps, I sometimes wonder:
1) Does frame rate really matter.... Who really needs 30 fps full time 24/7?
2) What about operators used to analog CCTV. What is their perception when their console is converted to IP and now they monitor video at half the frame rate they did before
3) What are the benefit of full frame rate video for, and who is ready to pay for it? .... City surveillance, port authority, airports, casinos, prisons?????
