Looking at the status quo of China's intelligent building security market

High-Definition, Smart Hot Spots Following the rise of skyscrapers, security issues have become more and more important. Whether it is public buildings or commercial real estate, it is hoped that the security issues inside and outside the building will receive maximum and most comprehensive protection. Give it more economic added value.

In the intelligent building security system, video surveillance is one of the most important components. Its focus areas are mainly concentrated in public areas such as entrances and exits, halls, elevator front rooms, roofs, property, warehouses, computer rooms, and garages. In areas where property is relatively concentrated, the total number of cameras in these key locations is also increasing.

In addition to the expansion of distribution, digitalization has become an irreversible trend. When talking about the status quo of building security, Zhong Wu, head of the pre-sales technical department of Jin Sanli Video Technology (Shenzhen) Co., Ltd., said that from the perspective of video surveillance, the current industry is in the stage of transition from analog to digital, and users are monitoring The relative lack of cognition of equipment, and many times need to guide manufacturers. Of course, the trend of digital devices completely replacing analog devices has become inevitable. Although commercial buildings are still mainly based on simulation, most star-rated hotels and 5A-class office buildings are now mainly digital.

Liu Zhiqiang, the marketing director of Suzhou Keda Technology Co., Ltd., has similar views. According to its prediction, “according to the current development speed, the networked high-definition digital devices will occupy half of the market share by the end of 2015.” . In recent years, analog devices have been phased out, which also brings a golden opportunity for the universal adoption of high-definition network devices. Liu Zhiqiang also stated that at present, the structural adjustment of the industrial chain has also led to a large-scale transformation of the entire industry. Architectural design institutes have gradually become accustomed to using high-definition networked equipment to design. Just two years ago, the design institute still remained. The simulation equipment is selected, so from the perspective of market stocks, although analog equipment occupies half, new buildings will generally use HD IP solutions. It is precisely because the cost of high-definition IP devices is declining. Therefore, from the perspective of cost savings, it is imperative that the device be fully switched.

From the perspective of the overall application of intelligent building security technology, there are currently the following features: In the entire intelligent building security system, video surveillance is fully converted from SD to HD; HD cameras are the basis for supporting intelligent image analysis applications, but in the current over-time period Inside, the security system of intelligent buildings should fully incorporate intelligent video analysis, and it still needs a period of development. The application of fusion drive system integration: Under the security system, the subsystems such as monitoring, alarm, and access control are no longer one-way work. They are each fighting, but they are gradually integrated and linked, and these subsystems converge toward the depth;

The development of intelligent video analytics technology began to grow: Today's intelligent building security system has been developed. It is no longer enough to satisfy users' application requirements by simply looking at the camera and retrieving the screen. Therefore, under the impetus of users' needs, the intelligent building security system has been From the original can only look at the camera to intelligent analysis of people, vehicles, and objects intelligent visual management, quick and efficient integration of various resources.

Chen Jialong, the technical director of Zhejiang Zhong'an Electronic Engineering Co., Ltd., acknowledged the trend of digitization and intelligence. However, he believes that these new technologies are still a long way from widespread adoption: For example, intelligent applications of video analytics, the accuracy of image analysis mainly depends on the quality of the camera; In the intelligent search of video, the application of intelligent retrieval is more, but Relatively mature products are used less frequently because of insufficient accuracy. Another example is the application of face recognition technology. The effect is not good, and the satisfaction of customer experience is not high enough.

The concept of integrated security first landed in prisons. Because of the high security requirements in such places, in the course of the development of its technical protection applications, a relatively mature "holistic solution" has gradually been formed. Today, "security solutions" or "integrated security solutions" are gradually being transplanted. In the area of ​​intelligent construction; secondly, in smart technology, it has also been successfully applied to many occasions in smart buildings. For example, for the management of people, the flow of people in and out of a certain area, face recognition and capture in the building, attendance systems, and matching of people's cards, etc.; for example, the statistics of the flow of people in commercial buildings, the dynamic statistics of people visiting the area, according to the data Statistical analysis of hotspots, etc. These data provide the corresponding data basis for commercial operations. Secondly, for the intelligent management of vehicles, such as cars entering or leaving a residential area or a park, there are visualized vehicle management and barrier control systems, and automatic license plate recognition in real time. Such technologies provide powerful technologies for simplifying manual work and finding abnormal vehicles. Technical Support. Once again, it is the visual control of objects, the detection of anti-theft and fire prevention, and the safety of perimeters, etc. At present, it is also used in more applications and has a certain level of maturity.

The adjustment of the X-factor industrial structure that interferes with the development of intelligent architecture and the change in the economic development mode are all exacerbating this industry's increasing trend towards scale, integration, and standardization. Among them, the user's application experience and application requirements are the key factors driving the market. At present, most intelligent buildings do not reach the level of intelligence. They are still only at the simple stage of viewing images. This application state makes the development of technology slower, and the true popularity is slower.

Jin Sanli Zhong Wu believes that the factors that affect the development of smart building security applications are summed up in two key factors: First, the cost of construction; second, the use of results. In fact, most devices are slow to update, mainly due to their sensitivity to security investment. Because most of the customers are unfamiliar with the performance of the product, when selecting, the price level becomes the key. In particular, the operation and use of the internal security system in the residential area are generally transferred to third parties. Developers do not use them, so they only consider prices. The cost seldom takes into consideration the advanced nature and practicality of smart devices, which hinders the development of the industry to some extent. However, a better phenomenon is that if the newly-built building is designed for its own use, such as the Beijing Yintai high-end office building, in the planning and design of security and intelligent systems, it truly considers the advanced nature and practicality of systems and equipment.

In the intelligent building project, due to the complex construction environment, the problems are relatively complex. Keda Liu Zhiqiang said that the complexity of the construction environment determines the indoor and outdoor product quality requirements are not the same, the location of the product itself, quality, image acquisition, targeted characteristics. Under normal circumstances, the construction company's construction operations are more common problems, such as improper installation, improper selection of equipment, equipment configuration is not in accordance with the requirements, some real estate developers in order to map cheap, will not be able to bring indoor equipment to go outside to use, etc. The wiring is not standardized, water in the cable and other issues. For these problems, general manufacturers will provide professional training and technical guidance to their partners and users. “For example, we have a mature digital management system. If someone in the front line raises a problem, the manufacturer will provide technical support in the rear, similar to This shared platform largely avoids hardware failures."

The key to building intelligence is "people"

In the development of intelligent buildings, human factors dominate. Hu Honggang, product manager of Hikvision's Building Division, believes that the key to the development of intelligent buildings currently has several features that require special attention. First of all, the importance of the parties is not enough. Intelligent building construction is a systematic project and its importance is self-evident. However, at present, the construction of intelligent buildings is still considered as an auxiliary function in many companies. It is believed that intelligent buildings do not affect the use of buildings. Can, as to the purpose of building intelligence is not particularly clear, such as real estate development company, a large part of people think that setting up the district within the community intelligence is just a simple security monitoring, community intercom, etc., for the construction of community intelligence to There is no clear understanding of the value brought by the owners.

Followed by the talent team construction and reserves, due to the relatively small proportion of intelligent buildings in the construction, resulting in many companies currently do not have professional intelligent engineering planners, and many companies within the intelligent building professionals are usually managed by strong electric professionals Although both majors belong to the electric major, strong electric power professionals generally lack the deeper weak electric expertise to undertake intelligent building project planning, so that the design and construction of many intelligent building projects lack the support of professionals to obtain Due to its function, it ultimately affects the construction unit's understanding of intelligent building projects.

Therefore, in a project, the project manager's management level is very important for the project construction, and the intelligent system construction is more complicated than the civil construction. Many project managers lack the project management experience, and they do not have the ability to control the project well, resulting in the construction of the project. The quality is extremely poor and there is simply no application of the construction function. In addition, communication is also a major issue. Hu Honggang pointed out that even if some construction units have engineering and technical personnel specialized in intelligent buildings, due to the lack of professional high-level technical exchanges, professional information is blocked, and the intelligent building design of architectural design institutes and system integrators is not targeted, let alone Optimize the design.

As of now, many architectural design institutes lack professional intelligent building designers, which is a key factor that hinders the true intelligence of smart buildings. Because the proportion of building intelligence is too small at present, many design institutes do not set up specialized intelligent design personnel. Most of the weak-power intelligence is served by strong-electricity designers. The lack of intelligent building engineering design practice can only be followed according to the present law. Atlas design, there is no clear understanding of the extent of the current development of intelligent buildings, resulting in backward design features, did not play the characteristics of intelligent engineering.

Hu Honggang said that the threshold for intelligent building construction is low, but its technical expertise is high. Many construction teams have different comprehensive capabilities. Most of the construction teams are patched together, and some have not even heard of intelligence. Therefore, due to the lack of capacity of the construction team, there have been many cases of failed intelligent project construction. As far as the integrator is concerned, since the integrator is the implementer of the intelligent construction project, the intelligence qualification is easier to obtain than other industries, resulting in a large number of intelligent integrator units, but relatively confusing industry management. At present, many construction units do not have relevant intelligent qualifications, but rely on third-party qualifications for construction. Various factors have led to frequent difficulties in the construction of intelligent engineering. These are the issues that must be considered in the development of the next generation of intelligent buildings, from the supply side, system integration side to construction side. Only by solving all the challenges of integration in technology, talents, and systems can we create a truly intelligent intelligent building. .

Intelligent Building Security "Sihua"

In the future, after the smart building security system has passed the unified standards among peers, the characteristics presented are digitization, integration, intelligence, and standardization. This is both the future development trend and the inevitable result.

From a global point of view, smart buildings have standards. In terms of smart buildings, the depth of integration of these subsystems is not particularly large, but with the increasing proportion of security systems, security systems and other systems are in-depth. Fusion applications are of great significance to the development of smart buildings. If security systems alone are concerned, following the pace of replacing analog devices with high-definition equipment, if the industry standards are not uniform, the product specifications of various manufacturers will not be connected, and eventually the entire industry will also stagnate.

Through the video surveillance to see security development trends, the traditional rigid situation has begun to melt in ice and snow. Zhong Wu, the manager of Jin Sanli’s technical department, believes that the entire security system is becoming more integrated and intelligent, and the standards are becoming more and more open. Each manufacturer will enhance their interaction and integrate multiple resources on the basis of maintaining communication. Some standard protocols will be opened up, which will lead to an increasingly uniform industry as a whole. Although the current situation is still their own battle, but through the impact of policies, such as the national promulgation of the GB/T28181 and other standards are to guide the industry toward openness and become compatible.

Zhang Jun, solution manager of Zhejiang Dahua Technology Co., Ltd. believes that the industry is currently well prepared for the smart building market. It has been fully digitized, networked, and high-definition in video surveillance and can meet the needs of general users. Clearly "and read" applications. At the same time, the market has also formed and improved the overall solution for intelligent buildings, enriched the alarm, access control, video intercom, parking management and intelligent building management platform and other product lines, and truly realize the centralized management of building intelligent systems. , To provide users with more advanced and superior management models and value-added space.

At present, based on the concept of intelligent buildings, "four modernizations" will be the development direction of security technology. Faced with the surging wave of information age in the 21st century, the automation of security systems will face a severe test, make full use of new technologies to meet the requirements of the information age, and constantly improve the automation of security systems, and the industry will usher in and create a Safe, comfortable, convenient and energy-saving new era.
