Mobile Video Surveillance Market Report 2026

The mobile video surveillance market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $2.54 billion in 2025 to $2.78 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.5%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to rising public safety concerns, expansion of urban transportation networks, increased deployment of surveillance in law enforcement, growing adoption of mobile cameras, availability of wireless communication networks.

The mobile video surveillance market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $3.95 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.2%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to growing investments in smart city security, rising demand for real-time situational awareness, expansion of surveillance in autonomous and connected vehicles, increasing integration of ai-based threat detection, stronger regulatory focus on public safety. Major trends in the forecast period include increasing deployment of ai-enabled video analytics, rising adoption of cloud-based surveillance platforms, growing use of mobile surveillance in public transport, expansion of real-time remote monitoring solutions, enhanced focus on evidence management systems.

The increasing incidence of criminal activities is anticipated to drive the growth of the mobile video surveillance market in the future. Criminal activities refer to acts prohibited by law, involving either physical actions or mental intent to commit a crime, making them serious offenses punishable under state or national laws. Mobile video surveillance plays a vital role in detecting crimes in public spaces and capturing live events, thus a rise in criminal activities will boost the demand for these surveillance solutions. For example, in March 2024, ABC News reported a significant rise in hate crimes in New York City, with antisemitic incidents increasing by 12.6% and anti-Muslim incidents rising by 22%. Similarly, Los Angeles experienced a 48% surge in antisemitic hate crimes and a 40% increase in anti-Muslim crimes in 2023. These alarming trends have continued into early 2024, as the NYPD's Hate Crime Task Force noted a 12% rise in bias crimes. Such statistics underscore the urgent need for effective measures to combat this escalation. Therefore, the rise in criminal activities is propelling the growth of the mobile video surveillance market.

Leading companies in the mobile video surveillance market are focusing on developing compact, AI-enabled camera ecosystems that are easy to deploy and manage remotely, particularly for distributed small- and medium-sized deployments. These AI-enabled ecosystems integrate intelligent surveillance capabilities to automatically analyze video, detect events, and optimize security operations across connected devices. For example, in November 2023, Dahua Technology, a China-based video-centric AIoT provider, launched its Wireless Series - a range of Turret, Picoo, Bullet, and Hero cameras designed for small- and medium-sized scenarios. The cable-free, plug-and-play devices can be managed via cellular through the Dahua Mobile Security Surveillance (DMSS) app or over Wi-Fi using the Dahua Security System (DSS). The cameras feature AI-powered human detection to reduce false alarms, two-way audio, push notifications for real-time alerts, and models offering 360° monitoring, privacy mode, and full-color or smart dual-light night vision. They support local (SD/NVR) and cloud storage and are IP67-rated for reliable outdoor use, making them ideal for retail, cafés, small shops, and similar sites requiring fast deployment, remote control, and integrated analytics.

In November 2024, Garda World Security Corporation, a Canada-based security and cash services provider, acquired Stealth Monitoring for an undisclosed amount. The acquisition creates a global leader in AI-powered remote video monitoring solutions by combining Stealth Monitoring’s proprietary technology and expertise with the strengths of the ECAMSECURE platform, expanding the range and value of offerings for customers. Stealth Monitoring is a US-based company specializing in mobile video surveillance.
