When one pays attention to the following list of emerging technologies, it becomes apparent, that our industry is on the precipice of major disruption(s) similar in severity to that of the Newspaper, Telephones (pay phones, voice mail systems, Key Systems, Pots lines services), Video Rentals, Taxis, Brick and Mortar Box shops, and too many more to list:

  1. ESP8266 S.O.C.(system on chip) with WiFi and G.P.I.O.(General Purpose Inputs/Outputs) and it's successors (ESP32, ESP12 etc...) that all cost less then $10.
  2. Raspberry Pi's, variants and clones (Complete Computer boards that can run Linux, Windows10 and other OS's that cost less then $35 based off of CPU's similar and or identical to those used in smart phones).
  3. 3D Printing.
  4. Drones, Quad Copters etc.
  5. Crowd Funding.
  6. Ebay.
  7. Amazon.
  8. Blockchain
  9. Advances in Battery Technology

I could probably go on listing trends to pay attention to that will dramatically impact our industry, but leave that up to fellow IPVM'ers?

I was highly skeptical of mobile credentials when they first appeared, but they are now becoming more and more requested by our clients.

Now we have at least one manufacturer that we work with that has a no-cost mobile credential plan (if you use their readers, which are standard weigand output), and I believe this is going to lead to even wider acceptance/demand.

Bot farming is my pick.  I think there is more money to be made in renting out a Hikvision and Dahua NVR botnet than there is in actually selling the equipment.

Mobile credentials would be my second pick.

 As an industry trend, I definitely see the enterprise survivors of video/access control moving to one piece of software versus two pieces of software and servers that integrate. Seems like a no brainer.

#MAGA.   If Trump actually places fees and restricts Chinese imports.

The biggest potential disruptive trend I could see (though I doubt it will happen), is a major tech company getting heavily involved in this industry. We have it in small ways with Cisco buying Hirsch, and with Drako coming from the networking world with Eagle Eye and Brivo; but if a major player like Microsoft, Apple, IBM, Google, etc got truly interested in this marketplace that would bring a whole litany of new ideas and products into the space. HIKVision may be able to claim 2,000 engineers; but put that number up against a team of 50 engineers from Google and it isn't even a fair competition. With the rise of open architecture hardware, a company that can come in and completely change the game on the software side could have a huge impact. 

 

The one I think is more likely is the rise of alternative video coding formats like VP9 (backed by Google- and their money) becoming more prevelant.
