TOP 15 largest manufacturers of video surveillance systems

No one wants to suddenly lose their hard-earned material wealth, so home security is always on people’s minds. Video surveillance systems are in high demand, as they help not only to secure their property, but also to solve various unforeseen situations when, for example, someone illegally enters the site or punctures the tires of a car near the house.

Thanks to surveillance systems, you can solve crimes, which means you can be calm about your property. Our rating of video surveillance systems will help you choose the right model for your home or cottage.

What is a video surveillance system

A camera and a surveillance system are completely different things. If a video camera records everything that is in its field of view and no more, then the video surveillance system is more functional. A complete surveillance system typically consists of the following elements.

Videcam

The number of devices depends on the size of the protected area and the wishes of the customer. For complete coverage of a small summer cottage, about 4 cameras are usually required.

Control system

It processes and records the received readings from the cameras, saving them to the hard drive. Some models make it possible to monitor readings from cameras remotely, that is, being on the other side of the city you can observe what is happening at your summer cottage.

Motion Sensor

If any activity suddenly appears in the protected area, an alarm is sent to the number you designated.

Fire protection sensor

A useful function, since in the event of a fire threat, the sensor is triggered and either a fire brigade is called, or an automatic fire extinguishing program is activated.

Ready-made solutions for video surveillance: what are they?

Video surveillance kits based on Wi-Fi cameras

Most often, these kits include several home or outdoor Wi-Fi cameras, a DVR and a hard drive.

The cameras only need to be provided with power; they will transmit video via a wireless Wi-Fi network.

The connection diagram for such IP kits is as follows:

• the hard drive is installed in the recorder (if an archive is needed);
• The recorder is connected via a LAN cable to the router;
• cameras connect to the same router via Wi-Fi;
• Then cameras are added in the recorder settings.

For remote viewing via the Internet, the router to which the recorder and cameras are connected must have access to the Network.

A free application is installed on a mobile device (smartphone or tablet), into which the recorder’s unique ID number is entered, which allows you to remotely watch online video from all cameras connected to it, as well as the archive recorded on the hard drive.

Video surveillance kits based on DVRs and cameras with POE power support

IP cameras that have a built-in POE splitter, which allows them to receive power via a LAN cable, are very popular when organizing street surveillance, since there is no need to install additional sockets for cameras. Power is provided by a DVR or switch with a built-in POE injector, which transmits power to the LAN cable.

The connection diagram for such kits is as follows:

• the hard drive is installed in the recorder (if an archive is needed);
• The recorder is connected via a LAN cable to the router;
• cameras are connected directly to the recorder via a LAN cable;
• Then cameras are added in the recorder settings.

Remote access is carried out in the same way as described for video surveillance kits based on Wi-Fi cameras.

Video surveillance kits based on analogue (AHD) cameras

If you need to solve the problem of installing video surveillance on a small budget (usually up to 20,000 rubles), analogue video surveillance systems are used.

Video from cameras is transmitted via coaxial cable to the recorder, then an archive is written or the video is viewed online (locally or remotely).

Among the advantages of analog solutions, we highlight low prices compared to solutions based on IP cameras. Also, power and video are transmitted via 1 cable; the cameras do not need sockets.

Among the minuses, we note the lower quality of the picture (compared to IP), but if the task is not to view small details (car license plates, etc.), then it is quite possible to use analog video surveillance.

Mixed video surveillance kits: IP cameras + analog cameras

If the task is to organize video surveillance at a facility where you need to get a high-quality picture from a number of cameras (for example, they are installed at the entrance to the territory and you need to monitor car license plates), and from other cameras you can get a picture with a lower quality.

In this case, you can consider a mixed version of cameras, which will save on equipment.

The connection diagram for such kits looks like this:

• the hard drive is installed in the hybrid recorder (if an archive is needed);
• The recorder is connected via a LAN cable to the router;
• analog cameras are connected directly to the recorder via a coaxial cable, IP cameras are connected to the router or recorder (if it has POE);
• Then cameras are added in the recorder settings.

How to choose

Before purchasing a video surveillance system, you need to decide what exactly you need: which functions are welcome and which will be superfluous. Any additional parameter is an increase in the price of the equipment.

The following are the capabilities of modern tracking devices, as well as the selection criteria:

• Video shooting in the daytime or under artificial lighting.
• Evening and night photography, which, thanks to infrared sensors, allows observation in poor visibility conditions.
• Panoramic and directional photography.
• A motion sensor that turns on the camera. Simply put, the camera is in a “sleeping” state, thereby saving energy, and as soon as the sensor detects movement, the equipment immediately “wakes up”.
• Shooting on any memory card.
• Remote transfer of captured video material to a computer, etc.
• Synchronized work with sensors, alarms, switches, etc.

If you own a small home, then there is a reason to choose equipment with basic characteristics without overpaying for unnecessary features. But if you have a large plot, and even one filled with valuables, then you shouldn’t skimp on the system.

The demand for video surveillance systems is growing

The global video surveillance market is growing rapidly.
According to Mordor Intelligence in 2020-2025. it will increase annually by 10.35% per year, to $94.97 billion in 2025, MarketsandMarkets estimate - $68.3 billion by 2023 (growth - 13.1% per year). The disparity in estimates can be explained by the fact that the video surveillance market consists of many segments (professional and “do-it-yourself” video cameras, recorders, storage systems, camera management software, analytics, services), often the installation of video surveillance systems is part of larger-scale projects. In addition, this market is not completely transparent, like any other related to security. All of the above applies to the Russian market. It grows quickly, but it is difficult to estimate its actual size. Many large Russian integrators involved in the implementation of video surveillance systems and the provision of related services were unable to isolate the “video component” from the cost of implemented projects; the fact that the security sector was very sensitive also played a role and some market players refused to participate, citing the signing of documents “about non-disclosure." Therefore, the first rating was based on companies specializing in video surveillance systems.

The total revenue of the top ten leaders in the CNews Analytics rating at the end of 2021 amounted to ₽7.2 billion, which is 37% more than in 2018, then their revenue figures were at the level of ₽5.2 billion. The leader of the rating at the end of 2021 . became with an indicator of ₽1.985 billion, which is 38% more than in 2021. In second place, with a slight margin, is the company ISS - in 2021, video surveillance projects brought it ₽1.963 billion. In third place is Sitronics with revenue in the amount of ₽1.728 billion. In fourth place is Hi-Tech Security (₽579 million), in fifth — “Information Technology Factory” (₽315 million). In total, the top five account for 90% of the total revenue of the rating participants. Over the past year, 7 companies exceeded the mark of ₽100 million in annual turnover; in 2021 there were 6 such companies.

What to consider when choosing a device?

When purchasing a video surveillance kit, the cameras deserve the closest attention. They can be analog and digital. Digital ones have higher resolution and better image quality, but the analog version has a longer service life. Dome cameras have a rotating mechanism, due to which they can cover a large viewing area. Both analog cameras and IP scanners can be used in one set, which provides higher detail of faces and small objects.

When choosing, you need to consider the following points:

• The camera must have a clear image. The higher the camera resolution, the better and higher quality the shooting will be.
• It is best if the viewing angle exceeds 70o. Otherwise, the cameras will not be able to record the movement.
• For video surveillance on the street, you need cameras that can operate over a wide range of temperatures (at least from -30 to +30°C). For northern regions, cameras are made of special anti-vandal metal that is resistant to mechanical and temperature influences.
• It is advisable to have a special data archive so that the video is duplicated in case of accidental loss or damage to equipment.
• When choosing a kit, you need to pay attention to the possibility of replacing or connecting additional elements.

Is it legal to install cameras in the private sector?

The personal life of citizens in our country is protected by the law on privacy. Filming is considered an invasion of privacy. If you wish to install cameras on your personal property, you must obtain the written consent of neighbors whose property may be in view of the cameras.

The owner of the video material does not have the right to post it in public sources or use it in any way for illegal purposes. This creates a threat of violation of constitutional law.

“Video surveillance is in progress” sign

Private property in which cameras are installed and video surveillance is carried out must be equipped with a special sign “Video surveillance is in progress.”

This is done to ensure that the law is not broken. It is considered that a person entering the territory is informed about the fact of filming if such a sign is present. It is important that the inscription is located before the entrance to the facility and in a visible place. There are special illuminated signs so that the inscription is visible even at night. If there is no such sign, the owner faces a fine for unauthorized filming, as well as dismantling of equipment.
