IP Megapixel cameras Finally, High Definition for Video Security has arrived. You know the ones they have shown on CSI and other TV shows that provides the detailed video from video recordings. Not yet for the masses, the post-recording analysis is, almost, around the corner due to high resolution megapixel camera technology.. Analog cameras will start their demise in 2010 and we should never look back. As Video on the Internet has expanded, so will Video from Security cameras. HD Camera Video streaming is here and it will get much better over the next 5 years.Look out for faster throughput at 30FPS to help penetrate the analog market. Reduction in in IP Video camera and system pricing will be severe as competition grows starting in 2010.
Video Software Applications – A major increase in video security software development should follow IP camera market penetration. New companies will be formed and emphasis on software video security applications will grow. Video access to the iPhone and Blackberry devices are now becoming available today along with unique Video Analytic applications. Software development in the Video Security market is a new science practically as hardware-based (DVR) systems are the predominant technology. The future will provide software-based applications utilizing IP Video and open up the field for 3rd-party applications. Video standards adoption is vital. Smart video security will follow IP camera adoption.
Network-Based Video Systems – Digital Video Recorders with IP and Analog camera systems on LAN and Remote WAN. “Video at your fingertips” as Gates once said.

2. Security areas and border control can now be monitored by CCTV which can be used to identify any suspicious activity, or to be on the lookout for known undesirables, or those who are not allowed to fly.
