The advent of a booming webcam era

In the early days of network cameras, their technical level could not be compared with professional analog cameras. They are usually used as ordinary web cameras and used to view objects or events through the local area network or the Internet. After more than ten years of development, especially in recent years, network technology and video technology have advanced by leaps and bounds. The technical level of network cameras has caught up with analog cameras and can fully meet the actual needs and specifications of professional video surveillance. In some areas, the performance of network cameras has even surpassed analog cameras. Users already have enough reason to choose IP cameras in professional video surveillance applications, such as system performance, openness, interoperability, flexibility, sustainability, and network connectivity, all of which are required when users select network cameras. Consider the important content.

In recent years, network video surveillance products have been highly favored by the market, especially the large-scale deployment of carrier-grade network video surveillance systems, which has promoted the maturity of network video surveillance models. At present, the entire security industry has entered the era of network monitoring. Whether it is video surveillance, alarm access, access control, or storage equipment that serves as a basic support system for security monitoring, it has begun to present a networked development trend with IP as the main feature. The security industry has also begun to enter the IT development process represented by IP technology and realize the intelligent application of network monitoring systems. Fast installation and wide application of network cameras are becoming more and more popular and become the focus of the current security market.

From the perspective of the global network camera market, in the just-developed phase of the network camera, European and American companies seem to go faster than Japanese and Korean companies that dominate the analog camera market. Sweden's AXIS, America's AARECON, IQINVISION, Germany's MOBOTIX, Canada's LUMENERA, and other European and American brands are obviously brighter and brighter than Japan's SONY, PANASONIC, SANYO, Korea's SAMSUNG, and LG. However, after the development of recent years, especially the large-scale development of global network video surveillance, Japanese and Korean companies that have long been leaders in video surveillance, such as SONY, PANASONIC, SANYO, SAMSUNG, LG, etc. Their tempering, their network camera products have been favored by the market.

From the perspective of China's network camera market, the performance of domestic mainstream surveillance manufacturers is remarkable. With the continuous update of network infrastructure equipment, network video technology has become more and more recognized. With the increase of online video surveillance projects and the promotion of large projects such as the Safe City, Beijing Olympics, and Shanghai World Expo, the Chinese network camera market has ushered in a period of rapid development, and the market share of domestic manufacturers has increased by more than 50%. It is understood that by the end of 2008, the size of the Chinese network camera market has reached 520 million. It can be seen that network cameras have generally been recognized by customers and gradually started to be used on a large scale.

Network cameras are also known as the "industrial revolution" in the video surveillance industry following DVRs. As a darling of new generation camera technology and network technology, network cameras are a historical opportunity for local security companies to surpass the world level.

From the perspective of the application of network cameras, it can not only be based on computer local area network for regional monitoring, such as residential areas, office buildings, banks, shopping malls and other traditional monitoring; but also can be used for new cross-regional remote monitoring and online display through INTERNET , such as remote children and elderly care, unattended communications room monitoring, online broadcast of tourist attractions, product online exhibitions.

From the technical point of view of the network camera, it uses the most advanced camera technology and network technology, with powerful features. The built-in system software enables true plug-and-play, eliminating the need for complex network configuration; built-in large-capacity memory stores images before the alarm is triggered; built-in I/O ports and communication ports facilitate the expansion of external peripheral devices. Extensive function expansion, enhance the use of network cameras.
