Make video surveillance standards a booster for industry development

In recent years, along with the comprehensive upgrade of video surveillance technology and the development of network technology, as well as the continuous expansion of application requirements, the security monitoring market has grown rapidly. The monitoring system has gone from analog to digital, from closed to networked, intelligent and high-definition. Rapid progress. The development of China's security industry is still lagging behind the development of the industry in monitoring technology and product standards. How can we change the lagging status of the security monitoring industry standards?

At present, there are still many problems in the formulation and implementation of China's security industry standards. Here are some examples.

Question 1: In order to occupy the site, many companies artificially create difficulties in the formulation of corporate standards.

Question 2: Some companies do not attach importance to the implementation of standards, the security market is difficult to achieve a radius.

Question 3: With the deepening IT level of the security industry and the rapid technological progress, the application of multi-technology has made it more difficult to establish normative documents that are commonly used, which also limits the establishment of a unified industry standard for authoritative products. One of the most obvious is that the concept of "HD" has not been unified. In order to compete for market, some companies speculate on D1 (4CIF) as a high-definition indicator. In 2010, the security monitoring market developed rapidly. Surveillance cameras with high-definition as the first development direction set off a wave of climaxes this year. The “high-definition standard” has also been a controversial topic in the market. It is impossible to know which 720p, 1080i, and 1080p are the true meaning of HD.

Security industry standards lag has become a commonplace. How do security companies seek breakthroughs? Hikvision believes that for manufacturers and software providers, standards can stimulate market interest in IP security products, including monitoring products and solutions, gain more market opportunities, and can be more systematic or international. The security system is integrated. For integrators and consultants, the interoperability of products from different vendors allows them to provide more cost-effective and more flexible solutions, to increase the competitiveness of winning projects, and the ultimate beneficiaries are end users, while the company has also developed. . Wen Jun, Sony's security product manager, believes that many monitoring products do not have a unified standard. Each manufacturer does its own job. In order to expand the use of products, companies can better grasp the market by breaking through product compatibility. It is not easy for a complex monitoring industry to be fully compatible, and standard conflicts are inevitable.

The development prospects of the security industry are very attractive. With the continuous maturation of the industry, the demand for interconnection has become higher and higher. If the security industry can strengthen the construction of standards, it will benefit the control of the entire industry cost, marketing channels, and technological innovation. This requires not only the government's vigorous promotion (including standard organizations, industry associations), but also the full cooperation of security companies, but also the need for standards and market development with the times, only the three parties work together to be able to change the passive situation of security monitoring standards.

Security standards are divided into national standards, industry standards and local standards. Due to the greater coverage of national standards and the fact that more industries are involved, it is more difficult to formulate and implement them; industry standards and local standards also have industry normative capabilities. Because the scope is relatively small, it is less difficult to formulate and implement. At present, in order to regulate and promote the development of the security industry, many regions have formulated some local standards. These local standards have also served as a good reference for other regions.

In order to promote the development of some emerging technologies and products, it is also a good way to establish a corporate alliance and formulate common technical standards that promote the construction of industry standards. In the field of security monitoring, we also have good cases. For example, in the drafting and promotion of AVS standards, the cooperation of some domestic institutions, research institutes, and some enterprises is relatively successful.
