Industry gears up for IFSEC India 2015

UBM India's 9th International Fire & Security Exhibition and Conference (IFSEC) India Expo 2015  is scheduled to be held from the 10th to 12th December 2015 at Pragati Maidan, New Delhi. The event is supported by the Asian professional security Association (APSA), ASIS International, British security industry association (BSIA) and Electronic security Association of India (ESAI).

In the age of smart technology, to match the pace of the smart cities, we need smart security. Closely integrated security solutions - IP CCTV segment are the new demand of the smart age security. Analysts are of the opinion that the rise in terrorist activities, growing crime rates, data thefts, remote monitoring, growth of public infrastructure, increasing IT spending, government initiatives and increasing security spending are boosting markets for video surveillance systems in India.

 Over the next six years, the market for IP surveillance is expected to increase due to increasing IP infrastructure, declining prices and demand for remote access. From the earlier Analog CCTV technology, there has been a steady technology shift to Internet Protocol (IP) based (digital), open source and fully integrated systems, with the option for remote surveillance, background screening, video analytics, digital video and sensor-based detection. The IFSEC expo will provide the guide as per the growing trend.

 Product cum Service will become more relevant and popular as compared to Product per se. Customers are looking for business value in surveillance solutions. All pervasive, online and proactive solutions will be driving the technology roadmap. As IP cameras become less expensive, more people will incorporate them into varied applications. Integration of business intelligence software to the video surveillance system will be a major trend. Industry observers are of the view that the aim is to utilize the system fully, everyone wants to realize far more value from video surveillance. While increasing Security & Loss prevention, data captured by the cameras will also give information one can use to improve other aspects of their business. 

 Also, integrated, cloud based & mobile operated security solutions will be the major trend in the surveillance business.
