Video Surveillance as a Service Gains Cognitive Insights

Capturing data from video is a growing application within the Internet of Things (IoT). Video asset management and big data analytics software are enhancing the inherent benefits of high-quality IP cameras. As a result, the video surveillance market is experiencing a significant transformation.

ABI Research forecasts global value-added services market revenues will reach $10 billion by 2021. Data and analytics services, as well as device and application platform services, show the strongest revenue growth within the non-consumer video surveillance market.

"With hardware revenue margins destined to decline, many industry players are adopting a more service-oriented approach to find new revenue opportunities," said Eugenio Pasqua, research analyst at ABI Research. "The intersection of video surveillance and IoT opens the doors to a whole new set of players."

Big Data Analytics and Cognitive Demand

Enterprises can derive valuable insights from the data generated by video surveillance systems, which the organizations can then use to drive their operational, marketing, and merchandising decisions forward. ABI Research anticipates that savvy vendors will offer solutions that integrate operation data from a variety of sources -- including cameras and control systems.

Three trends in the video surveillance market depict the convergence of IoT and video surveillance: Video Surveillance as a Service (VSaaS), the integration and unified management of video surveillance within other systems, and the use of video analytics as a business intelligence tool.

VSaaS, specifically, is an emerging business model that enables access to the system and its services from virtually anywhere, while relieving user organizations and enterprises from service management.

While large-scale adoption of a fully cloud-based VSaaS model is a nascent use case, many vendors are already incorporating VSaaS functionalities into their traditional video management solutions. They're then integrating and connecting them with other security systems -- such as access control, fire detection, and building management.

Harvesting Actionable Insights from Data

"The increasing demand of IT and physical security convergence and video integration will provide a fertile ground for players with a good IP understanding," concludes Pasqua. "This will ultimately push many firms to closely collaborate and reduce the complexity in delivering a viable end-to-end solution."

As for video analytics, Pasqua believes that its use as a business intelligence tool will be a major driver for growth in the sector. Moreover, the growing desire to achieve a higher ROI from video surveillance systems will push more commercial users to implement intelligent solutions, such as those enabled by cognitive analysis.

And while the majority of surveillance cameras currently installed in the enterprise environment still use fixed line analog connections, this will not handicap market development. ABI Research believes that both wired and wireless IP connections will continue to grow at a double-digit CAGR for at least the next five years.

Demand for Quantum Computing as a Service

The enterprise demand for quantum computing is still in its early stages, growing slowly. As the technology becomes more usable, we may see demand evolve beyond scientific applications. The global quantum computing market is forecast to grow from $1.1 billion in 2022 to $7.6 billion in 2027, according to the latest worldwide market study by International Data Corporation (IDC). That's a five-year compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 48.1 percent. The forecast includes base Quantum Computing as a Service, as well as enabling and adjacent Quantum Computing as a Service. However, this updated forecast is considerably lower than IDC's previous quantum computing forecast, which was published in 2021, due to lower demand globally. Quantum Computing Market Development In the interim, customer spend for quantum computing has been negatively impacted by several factors, including: slower than expected advances in quantum hardware development, which have delayed potential return on inve

AI Semiconductor Revenue will Reach $119.4B

The Chief Information Officer (CIO) and/or the Chief Technology Officer (CTO) will guide Generative AI initiatives within the large enterprise C-Suite. They may already have the technical expertise and experience to understand the capabilities and limitations of Gen AI. They also have the authority and budget to make the necessary investments in infrastructure and talent to support Gen AI initiatives. Enterprise AI infrastructure is proven to be expensive to build, operate and maintain. That's why public cloud service provider solutions are often used for new AI use cases. AI Semiconductor Market Development Semiconductors designed to execute Artificial Intelligence (AI) workloads will represent a $53.4 billion revenue opportunity for the global semiconductor industry in 2023, an increase of 20.9 percent from 2022, according to the latest worldwide market study by Gartner. "The developments in generative AI and the increasing use of a wide range AI-based applications in data c

Industrial Cloud Computing Apps Gain Momentum

In the manufacturing industry, cloud computing can help leaders improve their production efficiency by providing them with real-time data about their operations. This has gained the attention of the C-suite. Total forecast Industrial Cloud platform revenue in manufacturing will surpass $300 billion by 2033 with a CAGR of 22.57 percent, driven by solution providers enhancing platform interoperability while expanding partner ecosystems for application development. ABI Research found the cloud computing manufacturing market will grow over the next decade due to the adoption of new architectural frameworks that enhance data extraction and interoperability for manufacturers looking to maximize utility from their data. Industrial Cloud Computing Market Development "Historically, manufacturers have built out their infrastructure to include expensive data housing in the form of on-premises servers. The large initial upfront cost of purchasing, setting up, and maintaining these servers is
