The global security industry resorts to rigorous testing
procedures to ensure that no defective system enters the mainstream market, says
Frost & Sullivan.
The demand for data protection is a top priority among
security companies, especially digital video technology enterprises. Digital
video recording's compelling benefits of excess storage, easy retrieval of
footage and remote viewing have helped it outstrip analog recording in video
surveillance.
The clarity of video and its superior data processing
abilities have further cemented its dominance over analog video. In fact, data
on digital format is even admissible as evidence in court of law.
 "Security companies have been working on different
aspects of security such as recording, data processing and information
management systems," says Frost & Sullivan Research Analyst Haritha
Ramachandran. "In the case of recording and data processing systems, there
is very little margin for error since these devices contain the proof required
for passing judgments."
However, digital technology is still grappling with certain
technical shortcomings, one of which is that it is not completely tamper-proof.
As technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI) are still nascent, there
has been little progress made toward standardizing AI-related technologies.
To ensure that the information recorded is authentic, the
industry for data processing technologies in video surveillance has to establish
certification or trademark standards.
Apart from ensuring authentic data, the security industry
should also try to set up standards to provide variability in surveillance
systems.
"Since numerous systems comprise a single security
solution, there is a constant concern about matching the different bit rates,
frame rates, resolutions and the other features in a camera," notes
Ramachandran. "Therefore, a certain level of standardization or
adaptability should be established in all systems to enable easy usage."
