The surveillance camera market is poised for growth, driven by increasing crime rates. Crime, defined as unlawful behavior subject to legal punishment, is on the rise due to factors such as economic disparities, social disorganization, and drug-related issues. Surveillance cameras act as a deterrent to criminal activities by providing visible monitoring and valuable evidence for law enforcement. For instance, the National Insurance Crime Bureau reported over 1 million vehicle thefts in 2022, marking a 7% increase from 2021. Additionally, the UK government website CrimeRate.co.uk recorded a crime rate of 75.88 per 1,000 people in 2022-2023, an 8% rise from 2021. Therefore, the increasing crime rates are fueling the demand for surveillance cameras.

Leading companies in the surveillance camera market are prioritizing the development of advanced products such as edge AI cameras to stay competitive. These cameras feature on-device artificial intelligence capabilities for data processing and analysis at the network's edge. For example, IDIS, a South Korea-based security technology company, introduced a new line of Edge AI cameras in March 2023, including dome and bullet camera models. These cameras aim to reduce false alarms, enhance security responsiveness, and accurately identify humans, vehicles, and other objects. Equipped with NIR Lightmaster technology, deep learning-powered 5MP dome and bullet cameras, IDIS Smart Failover, true WDR, H.265, IDIS Intelligent Codec, and PoE capabilities, these cameras are easy to deploy and seamlessly connect with IDIS network recorders. They are particularly suitable for applications requiring precise alerts in vulnerable perimeters, vehicle access areas, parking lots, entrances and exits, and sensitive locations.

In March 2023, IDIS made a strategic acquisition by purchasing Costar Technologies Inc., a US-based security solutions company, for $23.2 million. This acquisition is expected to expand IDIS's presence in the government and intelligent transportation sectors, strengthening its global market position. Costar Technologies Inc. specializes in developing, designing, manufacturing, and selling a variety of security solutions, including surveillance cameras, lenses, and digital video recorders.
