Three Challenges to Test the Development of China's Security Video Surveillance

Recently, Li Jianping, deputy secretary-general of the China Security and Protection Products Industry Association and executive deputy director of the expert committee, said at the "Wise Wuhan, Ping An Hubei Construction Summit Forum and the Hubei Province Security Industry Excellent Engineering Business Conference" that public security and social monitoring resources are interconnected and interoperable. The homogeneity of security products and the incompatibility between products and public security operations, as well as the operation and maintenance of monitoring systems, are becoming three major challenges in China's safe city video surveillance construction and security industry and technological development. At the same time, this is also the three major security industry development. opportunity.

Problem VS Opportunity One: Effectively Resolving Interconnection and Realizing the Integration of Resources of All Parties Li Jianping pointed out that in recent years, as the intensity of the construction of the entire safe city has increased, video surveillance and alarm technology have been widely used, bringing tremendous benefits to industries and enterprises. Business. In the process of constructing a network of video surveillance systems, there are many problems and difficulties in the sharing of video resources. This is specifically reflected in the application level, that is, the scope of application of video surveillance information resources is still very narrow, only within the public security and various groups Interconnections between the public security agencies and the social video resources are ineffective.

It is understood that at the end of October last year, the national network of public security organs video surveillance system networking and application experience exchange meeting was held in Shenzhen. The meeting further implemented the requirements of the Ministry of Public Security’s “Opinions on Deepening the Application of Urban Alarm and Monitoring System” as well as the requirements. We have made further requests in accelerating the integration and sharing of various video and video resources and promoting the comprehensive development and utilization of image information resources.

According to Li Jianping, the bottleneck of the network sharing of image information resources in video surveillance systems is embodied in the internal and external factors of system technology. Internal factors include: standardization of video surveillance systems, such as signal quality, versatility of image encoding and decoding technologies, etc. For example, video surveillance systems in the financial sector are not considered to be integrated with public security video surveillance systems in the future. For integration, there are many mismatches in software and hardware. At present, how to realize the integration of the two systems and solve the problem of “middleware” without the need for transformation and repetitive construction of the system is precisely what is needed for the construction of the video surveillance system in Pingan City. External factors include: authorization of image and other information resources. This mainly focuses on the institutional aspects. For example, how the video surveillance resources of the public security department and the urban management department can effectively integrate with each other become a major bottleneck in information sharing.

“So, the purpose of video surveillance construction is not only for the public security agencies to detect crimes, but also for the public security organs to follow the surveillance images to catch criminal suspects afterwards. It is necessary to cooperate with public security agencies to enhance the overall combat effectiveness and achieve prevention and combat. Crime and the various functions of the comprehensive management of social security. To achieve this, to achieve different networks, heterogeneous, heterogeneous or multi-network and multi-code into interoperability and interoperability, these require the joint efforts of enterprises and the government.” Li Jianping said To.

Problem VS Opportunity 2: Serious product homogeneity is not compatible with the actual combat of the police. “The second problem is the homogenization of products and the application of public security and the application of the entire society,” said Li Jianping. “We can The exhibition site saw a lot of similar products. It was like hitting a table."

In this regard, Li Jianping gave an example at the conference site: For example, the traffic police department monitors the bayonet of the traffic video surveillance system. “Night, low illumination” is the focus and difficulty of government work. Therefore, the effect of infrared light sources can reach 50 meters. 200 meters of medium and long-distance video surveillance products have considerable demand.

According to reports, traffic video surveillance systems need to be able to quickly capture vehicle traffic information at night and in low-light conditions, and be able to complete information on the vehicle’s own records and violations in the case of rapid capture. Products currently do not fully meet the actual needs of traffic video surveillance systems. Although many manufacturers currently develop infrared night vision products with independent intellectual property rights, or laser infrared cameras with some introduction technologies according to nighttime and low illumination conditions, the market can really achieve long-distance infrared video products. Less, therefore, in most cases, foreign products are introduced.

Because of this, Li Jianping said that there are many blank technologies in the field of security that companies urgently need to develop, such as: massive information retrieval for video surveillance and so on. He called on the majority of security companies to independently research and development, to innovate, to keep up with market demand and application needs, to differentiate and survive, to find a suitable breakthrough point and profit space, and not to force a thousand horses to cross a bridge.

Problem VS Opportunity III: Market Lack of Operation and Maintenance Businesses Companies Do Not Understand Barrel Effects In addition, Li Jianping also pointed out that the operation and maintenance of video surveillance systems and other service issues are becoming a major opportunity in the future security market. He said that current video surveillance systems have a good momentum in terms of construction, engineering, and product integration, but they are still far behind the “rhythm” in operation and maintenance and comprehensive services. The number of companies that specialize in operation and maintenance is not. And so many large companies are currently trying to enter this field.

When Li Jianping introduced the importance of operation and maintenance services, he said, “We spent so much money to build such a large-scale video network project and it is impossible to maintain it. Many video surveillance systems have a lot of problems after 3 years of operation. However, many of our companies, not to mention three years later, have been unable to keep up with operations and maintenance for three years.You must know that there is a rule in the management of the “wood barrel effect”, which means that water is from the barrel The shortest part of the board flowed out. Once the operation and maintenance of the company couldn't keep up, then in times of urgency and in times of emergency, not the image could not be transmitted, the probe was broken, and the image quality was too bad. In short, it was because For various reasons, the back-end display is very poor. So, which department is still willing or dare to support this company?"

From this, it can be seen that whether it is the construction of a safe city or a social monitoring system, the space for operation and maintenance in the future is still very large. Last year, during the fifth session of the National Congress of the People's Congress of China Security Association, it repeatedly called for strengthening the construction of security services and called for more operational service providers. Here, we also hope that the majority of security companies can walk with the system counterparts and the construction of safe cities to fully grasp this development opportunity.
