What’s trending in network video surveillance in 2014? In this article, a&s provides a comprehensive look from the industry’s top players.
Demand from end users for the integration of video and access control became more marked this year. To fulfill customer needs for higher security, video surveillance manufacturers take different approaches — either through acquiring access control technologies or partnering with access control manufacturers.
“The physical access control market is primed to make the shift to open IP technology and Axis is now entering this market by introducing a network door controller with built-in Web-based software. Axis' latest network door controller is a complement to Axis' existing portfolio of network video products and will work for businesses of any size, including SMBs. Bringing product innovation to the physical access control market is a natural step in Axis' development as there is a strong connection between access control and video surveillance,” said Johan Paulsson, CTO, Axis Communications.
“2014 will bring the full, seamless integration of RedCloud access control and the Avigilon solution. Integrating access control with HD video surveillance provides added security benefits for organizations but it can also prove challenging to integrate. In 2014, access control by Avigilon will make it easy for end users to purchase either a fully functional surveillance system or just select products that suit their needs,” said Ian Povey, Director of Product Marketing and Management, AVIGILON.
“We anticipate that the ability to integrate systems — such as video surveillance with access control — will continue to play a key role in driving growth for the security industry. System integration allows for smarter and broader control. In large part due to the proliferation of mobile devices, by integrating systems end users have more visibility into their life safety and lifestyle systems,”David Gottlieb, Director of Marketing Communications, Honeywell Security.
