Special Report
2023 Video Surveillance
Forecast
Deeper integration of video
surveillance with access control
and intrusion systems will
continue to evolve, providing
security personnel with higher
situational awareness and
keener insights to mitigate
crime and more intelligently
respond to incidents.
DMP
will soon be
introducing
products
that take
advanced
video
analytics
technology
and combine
it with the
information
from a
security
and access
control
system to
provide real
value and
security.
- Kyle Heironimus,

Combining the three gives customers a major
leap forward in security by using video devices
and analytics as detectors for the security system,
which knows when a person should or should
not be in a particular area. By integrating these
technologies, we will see more focus on providing
actual value rather than just providing video
or analytics to check off a box on the spec.
Chuck O'Leary, Bosch
While standards like ONVIF have helped to
make integration easier for some technologies
and provided integrators with more options, a
system that involves intrusion and access control
from one manufacturer, cameras from another
and a VMS from a third puts the integrator
in the middle. If part of the integration does
not work correctly, the integrator may have to
troubleshoot with multiple manufacturers to
fi x the issue, which can require additional time
and energy and add expense to the project. Or
the integration may not include all the available
features of the individual technology components
- limiting capabilities.
It is important to fully research integration
claims to ensure the fi nal solution will fi t what
the end user requires. In some instances, using
multiple manufacturers may be required by the
user or specifi er or there may be an existing video,
access control, or intrusion system already
in place. If this is the case, partnerships that

exist between some manufacturers may help to
ensure a smoother integration.
2023: Body-Worn Use Upswing
Steve Jussaume,

Th e more
signifi cant
advances
and impacts in the
body-worn camera [BWC]
space will be tied to connectivity
and situation awareness.
Th e use of BWCs continues to grow and
expand beyond law enforcement, as more users
want the ability to monitor their operators in
the fi eld. A BWC that can connect to a network
and stream video and audio back to a SOC allows
administrators to be aware of when a camera
has been activated, so they can log into it
and view what is happening.
Having access to this information, means
that administrators can make critical decisions
on how to respond to any incidents without
having to be on scene or wait for the person
to feed information back to the security operations
center. Th is need is rising in many industry
segments such as retail and healthcare.
Situational awareness does not just mean video,
it can also be provided via data - meaning that
information can be provided through a BWC's
location or other triggering mechanisms. SSI
