Where do you see the highest growth areas in the security industry over the next 3-5 years?
Over the next few years, we expect two areas to drive the most significant growth:
VSaaS:
- With the growing demand for remote accessibility, scalable storage, and lower upfront costs, more customers are transitioning from traditional on-premise systems to cloud-enabled models. This shift is especially attractive to SMBs and organizations with distributed operations, as it simplifies system maintenance while enhancing flexibility and centralized control.
Vertical application-specific solutions:
- These solutions are designed with specific industries and use cases in mind, combining the right mix of hardware, connectivity, and software features to address real operational challenges. Rather than a one-size-fits-all approach, customers are increasingly looking for purpose-built tools that match their unique environments. This trend will only accelerate as industries seek more efficient, scalable, and outcome-focused security deployments.
IoT Trend:
- As the IoT trend accelerates, the ability to analyze data from connected devices is becoming a key driver of growth — not just in the security industry, but across a wide range of business sectors. More organizations are recognizing the value of data-driven security, where networked devices — including cameras, sensors, and other edge equipment — contribute to a more intelligent and responsive system. With AI-powered analytics, this data can be transformed into insights that improve efficiency, support smarter decision-making, and contribute to enhanced public services, safety, and sustainability.
- At Milesight, this aligns with our long-term vision of multi-sensing technology. One of our key differentiators is the ability to integrate with diverse IoT devices, enabling our solutions to capture meaningful data beyond video. By fusing sensing and AI, we help our customers unlock the full potential of connected security systems.
Which products do you see as the most popular in the USA market? Why do you think there is a strong demand for them?
In the U.S. market, we’re seeing particularly strong demand for Intelligent Traffic solutions, especially our AI-powered LPR technology.
One standout product is Milesight's AI Road Traffic Speed Dome Camera, which has been gaining popularity and evolving needs from our U.S. customers. In response, we've continuously optimized this solution to better meet local requirements, resulting in key features such as:
- 50-state license plate recognition, covering the full diversity of U.S. plate formats.
- Long-range ANPR, capturing plates up to 1200ft during the day and 590ft at night.
- Dual IR Wavelength (850nm & 740nm) ensures clarity in all conditions.
- LPR Smart Search, allowing users to instantly locate vehicles based on brand, color, or other attributes — enabling pinpoint-accurate investigations.
- AI-driven Edge LPR, offering real-time, on-device recognition for faster and more precise results.
Why there is a strong demand?
Traditionally, most LPR cameras in the market are limited to bullet-style, which often restrict deployment angles and flexibility. After receiving repeated feedback from our U.S. customers, we introduced Speed Dome that solves this pain point by offering greater coverage, flexible positioning, and improved long-distance tracking — all while maintaining powerful AI capabilities.
Are there any specific customer priorities that you can identify (a specific technology, or architecture, or standard etc.)?
We see a clear shift toward demand-driven, application-specific solutions, especially at the edge. Customers are looking for systems that align with their vertical needs — whether it’s off-grid deployment or parking management. That’s why we focus heavily on edge innovation and work closely with technology partners to tailor solutions that are practical, scalable, and flexible.
A major priority for us is building an open and collaborative platform — one that integrates seamlessly with different partners to create greater value. A strong example is our OpenVision Camera, which embeds Nx Witness server functionality directly into the device, eliminating the need for a separate VMS server. Looking ahead, we’re expanding this approach with other partners, for example like Arteco, to give customers more choice and architectural freedom.
Which verticals do you see as driving demand in the north American market?
From Milesight's experience, we’re seeing strong growth in two key areas:
Commercials:
- Sectors such as retail, banking, hospitality, and office spaces, etc., are increasingly turning to smart surveillance solutions to enhance safety, improve operational efficiency, and manage distributed locations. The growing adoption of AI-powered analytics and VSaaS platforms is accelerating this trend, as businesses seek scalable, easy-to-manage, and cost-effective systems. To support this demand, Milesight offers products like our outdoor wireless series, which are easy to deploy across multiple locations, along with VSaaS-ready solutions developed in collaboration with trusted technology partners — enabling flexible, centralized monitoring tailored to commercial needs.
Intelligent Traffic Systems:
- Applications including Road Traffic Management, Parking Management, and entrance/exit control, are rapidly evolving to improve both efficiency and safety. Milesight's AI-powered LPR series is well-suited to meet this demand, offering long-range plate recognition, vehicle attribute analytics, and flexible deployment options for a wide range of traffic environments.
How can remaining companies differentiate themselves against the industry giants?
From Milesight's perspective, one of our key differentiators is staying agile, responsive, and customer-driven. We actively listen to our customer and turn those insights into meaningful action — whether in product development, feature refinement, or service support. Our priority is to deliver secure, high-quality solutions that align with evolving needs. Customers choose Milesight for our innovation, reliability, adaptability, and cost-effectiveness.
At the same time, we believe that innovation doesn’t happen in isolation. Starting from last year, we began taking a more open and collaborative approach — a key part of our long-term strategic direction. We leverage on our strengths in network cameras while actively working with ecosystem partners to deliver tailored, vertical solutions. This not only helps us better serve customer needs, but also creates a win-win environment where all parties can grow together.
How have rising cybersecurity threats influenced physical security investments? Are customers prioritizing different solutions than they did five years ago?
At Milesight, we take a proactive approach to cybersecurity, continuously upgrading our security framework to meet global standards.
Already Completed:
