As a two-year industrial exhibition, CPSE Anbo has become a barometer and market barometer for the development of the industry. Compared with 2010, HD and smart continue to sing Ambition in 2011. Another significant change is the majority. Manufacturers have shown industry solutions and have become a hot topic that we have to pay attention to. In the first two years of the exhibition, the manufacturers just proposed preliminary ideas for a solution. This year, we have seen a solid system architecture on many companies' booths, and some have been successfully applied. It must be said that the security industry has come to us.
Equipment suppliers to the overall solution provider transformation Under the continuous promotion of technological innovation and application requirements, security products have evolved from the initial simulation era, single equipment, small-scale system applications to the current digital, urban-scale large-scale applications The system has undergone fundamental changes in terms of application scope, system size and complexity, and the security industry has achieved unprecedented development in just a few years. Today, in many practical applications, security applications, including video surveillance, are no longer isolated and irrelevant to each other, but are converged applications that are closely linked to each other and interconnect large amounts of data. Under this situation, how security companies can further improve their product architecture and develop more valuable system solutions based on their needs is an important issue for security vendors.
Take Shenzhen AMB in 2011, most equipment suppliers pay more attention to the overall solution for exhibitors, such as: Hikvision's smart safe city solution, Sony's hybrid HD solution, World Albert Digital interrogation system, etc. The transformation of equipment vendors to system solution vendors is a general trend. The main reasons are as follows: 1) There are many types of security products, and the industrialization needs are different. “Service Solution†has become the mainstream business model; 2) To avoid pure product price competition, shorten the industrial chain and ensure the maximization of profits; 3 ) Solution Due to the need for more successful cases to accumulate, with high barriers and hard copy attributes, large vendors can maintain their competitiveness through solutions.
Based on the accumulation of product lines and user needs across the board, Hikvision, a representative company in the domestic security industry, has launched a series of industry solutions at this year's event, including public security, finance, electric power, transportation, and judicial professionals. security system. The successful launch of these solutions also shows that Hikvision is gradually completing its transformation from a product provider to a product and industry solution provider. From product providers to product and solution providers, Hikvision is always committed to mastering core technologies and is supported by sustainable R&D capabilities and a comprehensive service system to provide leading integrated security products and professional services for global users. Solutions and quality services.
Hikvision Solution Pavilion Hikvision is a technology-oriented company that provides customers with competitive products and solutions. The company currently has a full line of surveillance products including video capture, encoding, transmission, storage, control, decoding output, large-screen display, and central management platform software, as well as an overall industry solution.
From this security exhibition, we can see that the future competition in the security industry is not only product competition, but also the competition of the overall industry solutions. Which company can be closer to customer needs and better address customer needs will eventually occupy the industry market .
The emergence of smart and safe cities In the context of social management innovation and rapid development of IT technology, urban development is moving from safe cities to digital cities and smart cities. However, digital cities and smart cities have very high requirements for city informationization. There is still a long way to go before we can achieve digital cities and smart cities. In today's society, such as the maintenance of stability, safety supervision, food safety, municipal management, disaster management, emergencies and other hot issues, the demand for video surveillance in urban management has become increasingly prominent, and the construction of a “big integration†that can integrate many functions into one. The safe city is overwhelming.
Hikvision, based on years of experience in the construction of safe cities, has proposed a smart and safe city solution for this “big integration†safe city model – the future safe city construction will focus on “maintaining stability, safety supervision, food safety, "Management of municipalities, disaster management, emergency management," and many other requirements, from the application of a separate public security department to the transformation of city-level integrated video management applications. The smart and safe city is building a comprehensive system that takes security video surveillance applications as the leading factor, and takes into account the applications of urban management, traffic management, and emergency command through the application of advanced IT technologies such as the Internet of Things and intelligent analysis, through integrated planning and unified platform design. And management to promote the interaction and sharing of information between different departments and industries. The application of smart and safe city from the public security public security application gradually evolved into a city grid platform, covering public security, traffic police, urban management, safety supervision, emergency, food safety, environmental protection, and many other sectors. A quick upgrade will play an important role.
The intelligent and safe city video surveillance solution will adopt a new architecture to address and resolve existing issues such as business applications, video front-ends, resource integration and sharing, fault tolerance and reliability, openness, and intelligence in many aspects. Depth of application and other issues. The demand for video surveillance mainly comes from the needs of multiple police departments at various levels of public security departments, followed by the urban management of various government departments, large-scale enterprises, and video surveillance of various social organizations. Considering the integration and sharing of resources in the later period, the monitoring subsystems invested by various departments need to be planned, interconnected, and intensively used.
Hikvision's smart, safe city solution adopts an advanced IT infrastructure and innovatively applies IoT technology and cloud computing technology to the construction of video surveillance systems. The cloud computing solution has solved the major problems existing in current video surveillance in safe cities more comprehensively and effectively. The new system design also has considerable challenges. It is necessary to solve key technologies such as video cloud storage, intelligent distributed computing, cloud system operation and maintenance, and global resource scheduling management. With the solution of these technologies, the smart and safe city will surely become a new milestone in the construction of the video system in Pingan City, and will lead the steady development of safe cities to digital cities and smart cities in the follow-up phase.
Hikvision's Smart Safe City solution demonstrated at Hirano City's booth in the Safe City Pavilion attracted a lot of feedback from participants and was widely recognized.
Over the years, Hikvision has been thinking about how to build a more intelligent City of Peace, and actively participated in many major and influential security projects in China, such as the 2010 Ping An Shanghai (Pudong) HD project, Ping An Chongqing emergency The digital construction project of linkage prevention and control system, Olympic/Asian Games security project, and the construction of Wuhan Ping'an City Municipal Bureau etc. are all important components of a smart city.
Video Surveillance Management Platform: Industry-Achieved Gaming Tools With the continuous deepening of security construction and the continuous advancement of security applications, the potential problems of various security subsystems are gradually highlighted: Security subsystems are independent of each other, lack of linkage, and emergencies. At that time, the role of early warning and defense could not be effectively played; in addition, the independent management of various security subsystems resulted in inefficient management and maintenance, and serious wastage of police and material resources. Through the integration of the video surveillance management platform and traditional security applications, unified management of various security subsystems such as video surveillance, alarm, access control, intercom, patrol, etc. can be realized, and management efficiency is improved; on the other hand, video surveillance subsystems are realized. The linkage of other security subsystems improves the joint defense capabilities of each subsystem and traceability afterwards. How to fuse these subsystems together perfectly and play a role of 1+1>2 has become a new focus. As a result, the voice of building an open security system integration platform is also increasing.
At present, the development of security platforms has several major directions: high-definition, industrialization, and intelligence. In addition to the need to achieve high-definition, monitoring platform construction should consider providing a full-process, interactive, industry-based intelligent functions, change the passive to active; and monitoring platform to be oriented to industry applications, based on the platform, build industrial security monitoring and application platform , Integrate industry management, production data, and support industry security applications. Specifically speaking, the construction of video surveillance management platform needs to consider the following aspects:
The technical architecture must be advanced. The construction of the monitoring platform must not only consider the current application, but also take into account the future application expansion of the system. SOA-based system architecture is the wisdom of many years of development and continuous integration of business and technology in the IT field, with adaptable business processes and services. The new generation of security platforms needs to be built on the concept of SOA in combination with the requirements of the system. That is, based on a solid unified security platform, through the integration of open security integrated service bus middleware and security industry integration tools, integrate and build a security monitoring platform to meet the specific needs of specific industries.
High reliability. For city-level and other large-scale monitoring and management systems, comprehensive consideration should be made from the perspective of safety and reliability. It is necessary to adopt a master-slave hot standby switching mechanism and a load balancing server clustering technology to integrate the business services at various points into a whole, get rid of the dependence on a single service node, and ensure the carrier-class high reliability of the system operation. By deploying NVR/DVR equipment at the front-end of the key monitoring area, the equipment can be distributed and deployed redundantly in key monitoring areas to ensure continuous monitoring of users' services. Offsite backup strategies ensure that important data is completely secure and can be used to recover system operations in the event of a major disaster.
Can support smart business. At present, smart technologies are rapidly developing. In order to adapt to the changes in the development of smart services, platform systems need to provide a variety of video intelligent analysis functions that can be configured flexibly, including video quality diagnosis, face recognition, suspicious retentate, and electronic circumference. Sector alarms. When anomalies in the monitoring screen are found, alerts and useful information can be issued in the fastest and best way possible, which can more effectively assist the staff in handling the crisis and minimize the occurrence of false positives and false negatives. The real passive monitoring is active monitoring, which reduces manual intervention and ensures the safety of the protected objects.
Supports high-quality image processing technology. The platform needs to increase the decoding capability of the image as much as possible to increase the number of points monitored by a single workstation. At the same time, the platform needs to provide powerful image processing technology to enable brightness, contrast, and saturation of real-time video images, historical video images, and video print images. , color, clarity adjustment. Through the use of image enhancement processing technology, the system can provide high-quality dynamic monitoring images.
Extensive device compatibility. As a comprehensive management system, the video surveillance platform system involves a variety of monitoring devices, such as multi-brand IPC/DVR/NVR, multiple alarm devices, and multiple access control systems. The platform should adopt the plug-in mode to achieve the front-end device driver, access control system access, decoders and other functional modules of any plug. The automatic assembly of plug-ins and core programs into a complete platform system by the container enables the platform architecture to be more open and flexible. Replacing and modifying any plug-in will not affect the core programs and plug-ins that have been running stably, and meet the core technical requirements for software custom development and upgrade.
Fully open. The platform also needs to provide a complete secondary development environment such as the SDK to support the public resources and public information provided by the third-party system call monitoring platform to achieve the purpose of information sharing and resource integration. Gateway technology can also be used to achieve interoperability between this system and third-party digital or analog systems to achieve the goal of "cooperation".
Based on the above considerations, in recent years, Hikvision has developed a centralized monitoring and management system iVMS-5000 with independent intellectual property rights, and at the same time launched industry platform software that meets industry needs.
Hikvision iVMS-5000 platform software interface The Hikvision centralized monitoring and management system iVMS-5000 is a self-developed SOA system architecture based integrated multi-security subsystem networking platform. The use of advanced software and hardware development technologies has solved the problems of centralized management, multi-level networking, information sharing, and interconnection of integrated security systems. The software platform is stable, reliable, and easy to use. It centralizes the management of various modules in the video surveillance system and performs unified scheduling of resources to meet the needs of high-definition monitoring.
This system is a set of "integrated" and "digital" platforms, and realizes the unified management of each function module under one platform, and realizes the linkage between each other, so that the entire system truly realizes "integrated" management. In terms of security, from the perspective of the importance and security of business and video data, security assurances are provided in terms of information security, network security, and operational security.
The system meets the long-term application needs of the monitoring networking platform. The construction of the equipment, network, and platform must ultimately serve the application of user services and monitoring data. The main body of the system adopts an IP network architecture and standard interfaces to achieve smooth upgrade of functions. The system adopts a modular design, and the expansion of the system and the increase of service application functions can be achieved through the addition of corresponding modules.
The system can well access high-definition network cameras, high-definition network domes, high-definition decoders and other network equipment, and provides front-end devices, real-time preview, high-definition storage, playback, on the wall and other functions, the real realization of high-definition monitoring.
It can be seen that, in order to give full play to the role and efficiency of the security system, in addition to the basic hardware modules, the platform software is the key, the core, and the commanding height. Hardware modules will be highly convergent and competition will be more intense, and differentiation will be reflected in platform software. Especially for industry-oriented platform software, the threshold for entry is quite high, because understanding of industry applications must be based on a thorough understanding of the industry's business and precipitation, and continuous upgrading of the system. Not only does this require companies to cultivate business experts and supporting professionals (manpower systems) for related majors, but also to build a business model, knowledge system, and R&D system that fits well. Under these supports, companies can not only listen to customers' opinions but also To provide business consulting and other services. But these are not the capabilities that can be quickly acquired in a short period of time, and take quite a long time to develop; it is different from the traditional product marketing model, is a brand-new solution-style marketing, and objectively speaking, this is a A new kind of core competitiveness.
At the same time, we should clearly realize that the development and improvement of industry-based solutions is a gradual and cumulative process that cannot be accomplished overnight, and requires the accumulation of large amounts of funds and experience. Moreover, for security companies that choose to take the industrialization route, the investment in personnel and funds must be fully protected. The company’s strength is more demanding. Enterprises must do what they can and cannot follow the flow of the masses, because they go deep into the industry. After the industry's diversified customization needs and user-oriented rapid response requirements, these two significant requirements of industrialization will occupy more corporate resources.
Equipment suppliers to the overall solution provider transformation Under the continuous promotion of technological innovation and application requirements, security products have evolved from the initial simulation era, single equipment, small-scale system applications to the current digital, urban-scale large-scale applications The system has undergone fundamental changes in terms of application scope, system size and complexity, and the security industry has achieved unprecedented development in just a few years.
