Fujifilm Expanding Into Video Surveillance
While Sony continues to fade out of the video surveillance market and Canon continues to make huge investments into acquiring video surveillance companies, yet another mega-Japanese manufacturer is making a move in the market.
Fujifilm has not only released a surveillance camera but has declared:
The release of this product marks Fujifilm's entry into the surveillance camera market in its drive to expand the business further. [emphasis added]
We spoke with Fujifilm about the product and their move into the market, examining their outlook.
