AI + Security Ushers in New Opportunities: Future Intelligent Security to Develop Towards Cloud-Based and Edge Computing Directions
-
The security industry is a crucial safeguard for building a comprehensive social security prevention system and maintaining national security and social stability. The industry's revenue primarily comes from security engineering and security products. Among these, video surveillance products account for the highest proportion of all physical security product output, serving as the most important physical foundation for constructing the entire security system. Consequently, this has become one of the earliest developed areas in the security industry.
Public safety is a key determinant in urban construction and national development, with the demand for new technologies that enhance security surpassing that of other industries. With the advancement of digitalization and networking, the scale of video surveillance systems has expanded significantly, and the number of surveillance signals has increased rapidly, exceeding the real-time management capacity of human operators. This necessitates the use of computers for intelligent analysis, accelerating the intelligent transformation of the security industry.
Market Outlook for Intelligent Security Industry
Against the backdrop of rapid economic growth and increasing domestic security demands, China's security market has developed swiftly overall. In 2019, the Guidelines for the Construction of National New Generation Artificial Intelligence Innovation and Development Pilot Zones proposed the integration of artificial intelligence with the real economy, further driving the development of the intelligent security industry.
After years of development, the security industry has formed a relatively complete industrial chain. This chain includes the following segments: upstream comprises video and algorithm providers and chip manufacturers; midstream includes hardware and software manufacturers, system integrators, and service operators; downstream applications involve government, industry, and civilian use. Within the security industrial chain, hardware equipment manufacturing, system integration, and operational services are the core, while channel promotion serves as the backbone.
Intelligent security development is another highly anticipated trend in the security industry, following networking and high-definition advancements. It represents a new requirement imposed by the era's development on the industry.
Driven by emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence, cloud computing, and big data, intelligence has become a significant driving force in the security industry. The video intelligent sensing system, primarily based on video capture and AI analysis, serves as critical infrastructure for smart cities and will see further development during the 14th Five-Year Plan period.
Transportation has always been the foundation of urban development, and smart traffic management is a vital component of building smart cities. Smart traffic management provides effective solutions for urban traffic congestion by fully leveraging traffic data, enabling comprehensive and real-time optimization. This further enhances the technological and intelligent level of traffic management, effectively supporting urban economic and social development.
Computer vision has been widely applied in public spaces such as airports and train stations. In large-scale video surveillance systems, it enables real-time facial capture, alarm deployment, attribute recognition, statistical analysis, and trajectory reconstruction of key personnel, facilitating timely and effective intelligent warnings.
According to reports, global IoT (Internet of Things) spending reached $745 billion, a 15.4% increase. The U.S. and China are the global leaders in IoT + security spending, with $194 billion and $182 billion, respectively, followed by Japan ($65.4 billion), Germany ($35.5 billion), South Korea ($25.7 billion), France ($25.6 billion), and the U.K. ($25.5 billion).
CNPP's 2022 ranking of the top ten intelligent security brands, based on big data analysis and factors such as brand strength, product sales, user feedback, and public voting, revealed that China's top three intelligent security brands in 2022 were HIKVISION, Honeywell Security, and ANJUBAO.
Development Directions of Intelligent Security
Under the influence of trends such as big data, Internet Plus, and cross-industry collaboration, future intelligent security will develop towards cloud-based, edge computing, industry-specific, and platform-oriented solutions.
