The artificial intelligence (AI) camera market is poised for growth, driven by the increasing demand for monitoring and surveillance in commercial stores, coupled with a rise in occurrences of organized retail crime (ORC). Monitoring involves the continuous observation of individuals, locations, objects, or processes, while surveillance is focused monitoring by security authorities to gather evidence of criminal activities. AI cameras in commercial businesses play a crucial role in real-time monitoring of consumer movements, analyzing shopping trends, and enhancing store security to combat retail crime. In 2022, a survey by the National Retail Federation reported a 26.5% increase in organized retail crime occurrences in the US in 2021 compared to the previous year. The prevalence of violence and aggression associated with ORC incidents underscores the need for advanced surveillance solutions, driving the growth of the AI camera market.

The growth of the artificial intelligence (AI) camera market is further propelled by the increasing number of Internet of Things (IoT)-linked devices. IoT-linked devices are physical objects or systems embedded with sensors, software, and connectivity features, facilitating communication and data exchange. AI cameras integrated into IoT devices contribute to improved security, efficiency, and user experiences. A report by Ericsson highlighted that broadband IoT connections, linking cellular IoT devices, reached 1.3 billion in 2022, with a projected increase in broadband IoT connections to nearly 60% by 2028. The proliferation of IoT-linked devices, especially in North East Asia, is a key driver for the AI camera market's growth.

Technological innovations stand out as a prominent trend in the artificial intelligence (AI) camera market, with major companies focused on developing cutting-edge products. For example, D3, a US-based embedded design services and original design manufacturing company, launched the Design Core Velocity Series and Design Core Discovery Series in April 2023. These next-generation cameras cater to autonomous and industrial applications, featuring AI tuning optimized out-of-the-box and lenses for enhanced image quality. The off-the-shelf cameras are designed to boost signal resolution and accommodate various field-of-view lens choices, making them suitable for applications in autonomous machines, robotics, and industrial sensors.

Major companies in the artificial intelligence (AI) camera market are also investing in innovative products such as bi-spectrum AI cameras to expand their customer base, increase sales, and boost revenue. Hanwha Vision, a South Korea-based video surveillance company, introduced the TNM-C4940TD, TNM-C4950TD, and TNM-C4960TD AI cameras in June 2023. These cameras feature a dual-lens system capable of capturing both VGA thermal images and 4K visual images simultaneously. The thermal lens excels in perimeter detection under challenging conditions, providing clarity in low light or adverse weather. The incorporation of deep learning-based object detection and classification minimizes false alarms, ensuring reliable event monitoring.

In June 2023, Q-SYS LLC, a US-based manufacturer of professional audio and video system solutions, acquired Seervision AG. Seervision AG, based in Switzerland, specializes in AI-powered autonomous camera systems and intelligent software solutions. This strategic acquisition strengthens Q-SYS LLC's position in developing a scalable and flexible software platform with intelligent audio, video, and control technology, aligning with the demands of the post-pandemic hybrid work era. The acquisition reflects the market's focus on intelligent solutions and integrated technologies.
