The increasing number of criminal activities is driving the demand for IoT in the public safety market. Criminal activities include any behaviors or intentions that contribute to the commission of a crime. IoT helps monitor, estimate, and anticipate crime through data-driven methodologies, enhancing public safety measures. For instance, in September 2023, Khaleej Times, a UAE-based media company, reported 351 cybercrime cases in the first half of 2023 - up from 117 during the same period in 2022 - indicating a significant rise. Therefore, the growing incidence of criminal activities is boosting the IoT in public safety market.

Major companies in the IoT public safety market are launching advanced edge-analytics surveillance devices, such as smart AI-enabled cameras and sensor nodes that process data locally at the network edge, improving real-time incident detection and response. Smart AI-enabled cameras and sensor nodes are equipped with artificial intelligence and sensors to capture, process, and analyse visual or environmental data in real time for applications like monitoring, surveillance, and automation. For instance, in March 2024, March Networks Corporation, a Canada-based video surveillance solutions provider, introduced its “AI Series Smart Cameras,” led by the AI4 model, featuring edge analytics for human/vehicle detection, high-resolution imaging, and rule-based alerts for blocked exits.

In December 2023, Motorola Solutions, a US-based provider of mission-critical communications, video security, and command-center systems, acquired IPVideo Corporation for approximately US $170 million. Through this acquisition, Motorola Solutions aimed to strengthen its physical security and IoT sensor portfolio by integrating IPVideo’s advanced non-video threat-detection technologies into its public safety ecosystem. IPVideo Corporation is a US-based smart-sensor technology company and creator of the HALO Smart Sensor, which detects gunshots, vape use, abnormal noise and motion, air quality issues, and emergency keywords in indoor environments.
