IDC forecasts worldwide surveillance/monitoring camera shipments will grow from 9.3 million in 2007 to 26.5 million in 2013.
Future security administrators “will rely less on human observation to address their most critical security demands,” the analyst firm says.
Other uses include video analytics to track customer flows through stores, and then adjust merchandise placement, as well as better response to traffic incidents.
IDC also projects captured and archived network surveillance content will grow by 51.7 percent and 50.1 percent, respectively, in the next 5 years.
Worldwide network surveillance camera shipments are expected to increase by an average of 45.0 percent yearly from 2009 to 2013.
