North American Encoder and Video Server Markets
Frost & Sullivan, April 2007, Pages: 82
This Frost & Sullivan research service titled North American Encoder and Video Server Markets provides an insight into the encoder/video server markets, with a clear focus on the vertical applications in the video surveillance industry. In addition to this, the competitive structure of the market has been analyzed, with a focus on the key industry participants. In this research service, Frost & Sullivan's expert analysts thoroughly examine the government and homeland security, retail, banking, and enterprise level sectors and other applications.
The following technologies are covered in this research:
- Encoders and video server
- MPEG and MJPEG
- Wireless encoders and video servers
Demand for Increased Security Drives Encoder/Video-based Systems
The future of Internet Protocol (IP)-based video surveillance is secure. The video surveillance industry is convinced that IP-based surveillance has overcome the barriers of consumer mindset and traditional security systems. 'The need for live and distributed as well as centralized remote monitoring has the paved way to encoder/video server-based systems,' according to the analyst. 'In addition, there is increased interest in the security industry to enhance the role of the encoder/video server from being just an edge device to that of an intelligent analytics-enabled system.'
This market is actively involved in hardware and software partnerships and looking ahead to deliver the best possible answer to the changing consumer needs. IP based devices that began to attract attention about 5 years ago can now capitalize on centralized storage and monitoring requirements. Furthermore, certain applications such as retail and enterprise level security have witnessed increased activity in the past 15 months and this trend is likely to intensify.
Multiple Benefits of Encoder/Server-based System Drive Demand
An encoder/video server-based IP system offers all the benefits of an IP-based video surveillance system without any major changes to the existing analog systems. The server/video encoder model is a transition from the conventional systems to the IP-based system. By nature of its design, this is a hybrid system that can bridge the divide between analog and IP network-based systems. It has the unique ability to utilize the existing infrastructure (CCTV cameras), eliminating the need for a complete overhaul.
It also lowers the total cost of ownership; the encoder/video server-based system without the complete overhaul of the existing system yet provides the cost advantages of an IP based system. An IP-based system, unlike a typical analog system, does not need co-axial cables. This reduces the infrastructure costs significantly in applications that need video over IP. 'In addition, the operational overhead of monitoring and maintenance is also reduced as existing data network personnel can monitor the network at remote locations,' explains the analyst. 'This, by reducing the resources needed for monitoring, brings down the cost of ownership of the video surveillance system.'
