Information and Internet technology, especially the traditional security industry, digital, networking, intelligent and integrated platform technology, to technology, products and applications has brought great changes. At the same time, network video surveillance market and the application of rapid development, increasing demand, manufacturers and users to form a mighty force to enter the security situation in the market. By 2010, will form the market size of 500 billion yuan.

    However, as technology changes, applications and industry gradually expanded, problems follow.

Standard absence

"First of all, the harmonization of standards is the most vexing problems." Expert Chen a security committee for standardization in the phrase. He pointed out that the network video monitoring generally include front-end, transmission and back-end storage management of three parts, each part of the products and applications should have uniform standards and norms.

However, due to historical reasons, as early as in video surveillance is still in the era of the traditional concept of security, international standards, national standards, industry standards, its own standards on mixed lines known to the world, all manufacturers in single-mindedness. Until now, the standard of the chaotic situation much worse. In order to grab the "head start", almost every vendor with solid technical strength to provide their own "standard" interface.

"It still is no uniform standard, or each on their own to do." Sony China Professional Solutions Group B2B Marketing and Market Development Division of Product Marketing, Product Manager Wen-Jun reflections, due to Sony's product was fairly wide, in order to General Motors, Sony's own design standards, had no choice but to use interface is compatible with all international standards.

Have not yet unified in the standard case, the manufacturer had to strive to be accommodating. Blue Star Video Network Division Chen Yanfeng, general manager, said: "The latest security solutions will be compatible with standard H.263, MPEG4, and also compatible with the Chinese standard AVS, while detailed description of product interfaces."

However, in a complex monitoring of the industry to achieve full compatibility will not be easy, standards, conflict is inevitable.

Since the standard is not compatible with each other result in the various parts of interface can not be docked, it has become a monitor construction projects often have to face technical difficulties, or even the entire project will lead to stagnation.

To address the standard absence of embarrassment, China's relevant standards and policies are being developed. According to Chen describes, government departments and the Security Association is stepping up development of a series of standards, especially in 2007, is the introduction of the standard single year. But experts believe that the development of standards still lag problems, but also in the actual project application, some users for network video surveillance adoption of the various parts of the tender separately, even if the use of international standards or Chinese standards, but also not the same.

Some experts said the delay in the standard becomes vacant, in addition to security standards for the work of the Commission itself lagging behind, the major blind with various parts of the building has a lot to mind their own business.

"Who's Who is the building of the money will come to have the final say." Experts on the current chaotic situation was very worried, "blindly on the project, the reference standard, there is no standard will put the user as a standard, and set up the interconnection can not be found, the application will be a lot of problems, which is great to waste. "

The good news is, now some big cities have established local standards, such as in Beijing and Chongqing, from the PUC to the branch office, branch to the police station, controls have detailed provisions. Because entirely on standards, in various districts and counties of Beijing are to build in accordance with this standard, in Beijing all video interfaces to share the information.
