In the market prospects are optimistic about the situation, the domestic software market is no longer dominated by the traditional platform software vendors, security software market continues to emerge a new business, changing the past few software enterprises situation.
From the current development situation, the domestic security software companies have several major categories:
First, digital video equipment manufacturers, such enterprises early to promote the hardware sales and the development of a number of auxiliary security management software, but with the market changes, such enterprises are also gradually strengthening the software research and development, such as the recent industry Some large-scale hardware equipment manufacturers Hikvision, Kodak, Hanbang Hi-Tech, have strengthened the software platform product development, have launched their own software products, completely turned into products and industry solutions provider;
Second, the system integrator, such enterprises are mainly to monopolize the supply of certain projects and the development of software;
Third, independent security platform software professional development company, based entirely on the development and sale of security software based;
Fourth, IT companies into the field of security, such enterprises to use their own network communications technology advantages, to provide users with a full range of solutions to get the most profit margins.
At present, these types of software vendors to compete with their own advantages, and some companies choose to do vertical industry solutions to platform software as the core, expand products and valuable applications, through the sale of integrated solutions to profit. In this regard, some have a mature sales force and provide solutions to the ability of manufacturers to do more successful, such as foreign NICE, domestic H3C, ZTE Liwei and so on. And some manufacturers choose to take the operator channel, platform manufacturers and operators to product + bandwidth leased the overall solution available to customers. As the operator's "video network" construction requires a lot of investment and time to complete, and the current operator's network construction is not fully established, so the operator's own operation failed to develop, but turned into a large integrated business To do safe city and other government projects.
Future trends
At present, with the rapid development of the industry and the emergence of new technologies, these factors are the dawn of the security software industry, the current trend in the rapid development of digital video surveillance, security software development presents a flourishing situation, combined with the development characteristics of the industry We can see that the software has several major development directions:
(A) software integration industry chain multi-system multi-product
Integration has been the industry is very clear direction of development, software as a security industry chain is very important elements, will also be moving in this direction. From the reality of the development situation, the future security software will no longer be satisfied with the video monitoring a function, but to integrate a variety of functions of the integrated system platform development. That is, from the front of the video surveillance, access control, environment variables to the background of mass storage, intelligent search, intelligent analysis, professional management, in this entire system, not only can achieve monitoring, alarm, management, And the linkage between individual systems. For example, in a office building within a fire, the fire sensor will be sent immediately after the information sent to the background of the management platform, the management platform to send instructions to the front-end surveillance cameras on the difficult areas, real-time measured disaster, the same time, The platform will send instructions to the access control system, automatically open the safe channel. This function to a large extent to the user to save the time and effort to deal with the problem.
(2) business management is becoming increasingly complex and diverse
With the deepening of the application, each area and industry is no longer just satisfied with the basic functions of the software, but need to integrate with their own business, which requires management platform software through sound, flexible, scalable expansion of system management and maintenance capabilities , To provide users with different management and business-level security management applications management tools. Therefore, the security management platform software on the one hand management and maintenance equipment, the network and a variety of video and audio, alarm and database resources for comprehensive utilization; the other hand, to provide users with their safety business management process tools to improve the efficiency of security management, And even to promote the user safety management process and mechanism innovation, so the future software needs to meet such business needs for development.
(C) software intelligent applications
In the face of huge systems and massive amounts of data, customers now require more and more intelligent parts of the software, such as in the safe city of the project, enter the suspect's facial images, through the software platform for automatic matching video files Analysis, you can quickly analyze the suspects to do the case of time and route, which greatly saves artificial screening time. From this application, we can see that the intelligent software platform in the effectiveness of video information to help people remove a lot of spam, so that users deal with the problem more efficient and easy. So intelligent can be said that the software platform products in the future to obtain a breakthrough in an important factor.
(D) software standardization, can be more developed
At present in the integration of multi-system integration of multiple devices, many customers often encounter equipment does not have a unified interface standard, in order to solve this problem often take a lot of time and effort, so to ensure business standardization, interface standardization, protocol standardization, technology Standardization is very important. In the future, the software will be developed in this direction, to achieve standardization, so that the system and the information flow between the interaction. In addition, the software will provide a more open platform architecture, middleware, component-based form to achieve efficient development methods to meet the business expansion, depth development, business integration needs, and component design can make the system development and maintenance more Easy and easy.
Conclusion:
Hardware is the basis of security industry, and software determines the future prospects of the security industry trends. In view of the importance of the software; industry management departments have been working hard in this regard, such as in the Chinese security industry "Eleventh Five-Year" plan, "management platform technical requirements" as an important standard listed separately; and in practice The In the "second five" plan mentioned in the future development, the industry will strengthen the multi-information system, multi-technology integration, research and development to adapt to urban alarm, monitoring and integrated security integrated application platform and key technologies to develop Middleware products, to achieve the various types of information resources between the association, integration, collaboration, interaction and on-demand services to solve inter-system interoperability, reliability, security and other issues, the application system from the hardware as the core to the software as the core The change. From which we can see the government departments to promote the development of the software market to give attention and support, while driven by market demand, we have reason to believe that the prospects for the software market can be expected.
