She added that new integrations with cybersecurity solutions and the nascent market of digital intelligence solutions will enable more cyber-physical security convergence.
“Digitalisation has already shifted customer preferences away from closed-loop, hardware-centric solutions to more open-source capabilities. This continuously attracts new vendors because advanced edge capabilities provide new opportunities for market entrants,” she continued.
The rising demand for advanced surveillance solutions across industry verticals presents lucrative growth prospects for market participants, including:
- Expanded analytics use: Vendors must ensure that their analytics tools integrate with new and legacy solutions to provide actionable data.
- Cross-functional integration among security solutions: Developing diversified partnership networks offers new opportunities for surveillance vendors among their cross-industry partners.
- Cost-efficiency: Vendors that include surveillance-as-a-service and managed security services models provide customers with the level of cost-efficient support they crave.
- Introduction of new facial and behavioural recognition tools: Recognition tools with predictive capabilities deliver better customer experiences. Vendors should provide proof of the accuracy of these identification tools to provide customers quantitative validation of the recognition capabilities.
