2011 Security Forecast: Security Software Will Further Develop

After more than 30 years of development, the security industry has undergone tremendous changes, I believe we all see for all. No matter from the construction of security products, system technologies, services, and security channels, the speed of development has allowed security companies that have stood by them to enjoy the sweetness. For the security industry in 2011, I think that security software will become another explosive growth point in the industry.

With the popularization of IP networked technology applications, users are increasingly demanding the functional requirements that video surveillance systems can achieve. The importance of network video surveillance management software based on IP protocols is also growing. More people realize that video surveillance management systems based on IP networks can better meet the growing needs of users. Only local Chinese software companies can truly provide localized efficient services to their customers. Security software company advantages. The development of domestic video surveillance software was first developed by some hardware manufacturers to provide random software for managing their own products in order to be suitable for the launch of digital products, or to send or sell, and most of them were sent to the market. After that, projects such as “Safe City” were overwhelming in the country. Expanded, network video surveillance equipment began to be used on a large scale, and more and more people, including network operators, are beginning to realize the importance and value of video surveillance platform software. The model project of network video surveillance that continues to emerge from all over the world also allows more people to understand the unprecedented user experience and excellent management capabilities that network video surveillance software can bring to users.

In the traditional security software environment, the software can only passively adapt to the hardware, trying to build a bridge between the hardware under the network monitoring environment, and can not optimize the overall structure of the relevant components of the network monitoring from the perspective of the entire network monitoring. Perhaps this has become an important factor hindering the development of network monitoring. However, with the construction and development of China's “3111” project and Ping An project, the development of monitoring platform management software has been greatly promoted, and it has evolved from a pure video surveillance management platform to an integrated security management platform. The monitoring and management software has begun to integrate alarm linkage, GIS, intelligent retrieval, video analysis and more. The monitoring management platform software has also become the most dynamic and widely used software in the development of security software.

The development of monitoring and management software is still in its infancy. Due to the lack of real management protocols and standards between the front-end equipment (DVR/DVS/encoder/decoder, etc.) and the management platform, most of the current monitoring and management platforms can only be provided by DVR manufacturers. The SDK acquires the management capabilities of the front-end equipment. Through the programming of various DVRSDKs, the front-end equipment settings, image acquisition, and PTZ control function management are completed. The current monitoring management platform more completes the monitoring of the basic business scheduling and The control function, which really belongs to the category of equipment management, is very few.

With the development of technology, the monitoring platform software has transitioned from the integration of simple functions of the previous monitoring system to the separation of the core platform and business implementation modules. In other words, the monitoring platform software will provide video access, distribution, storage and management, and it is the core system for monitoring services. The service implementation module will provide flexible functional service presentation based on the customer's functional requirements, and will integrate more other business systems into the business module software. For example, how do you combine the services provided by the monitoring with other security systems to display a unified interface and how each system implements the system linkage function?

From the point of view of the monitoring platform vendor, for the development trend of the monitoring platform software, the current work needs to be strengthened from two aspects. First, we must provide a stable core network monitoring platform. Only a platform with high stability and reliability can establish the foundation for network monitoring services. Provides reliable support for monitoring business applications. Second, we must in-depth business applications. The demand for monitoring services varies from industry to industry. The integration of monitoring services with the business models of existing industries, combined with other business systems in the industry, is a common task for all industries and monitoring platform vendors.
