Video Analytics Market Guide and Favorities 2014

Author: John Honovich, Published on Mar 03, 2014

For more than a decade, video analytics has been the great hope for the surveillance industry. Indeed, it remains the pick as the Next Big Thing.

Yet the past 2 years has been rough, with ObjectVideo's lawsuit campaign against almost every major industry manufacturer and no investment / new startups in the space, culminating with one of the biggest names, VideoIQ, being acquired at less than their total funding.

IPVM State of Video Analytic Survey

IPVM has conducted a survey of 120+ integrators from over 20 countries, answering:

  • How often video analytics are being deployed
  • What is driving video analytic adoption
  • Who are the favorite video analytic manufacturers
