Milestone Deployed at Italian Power Stations

TerniEnergia, a major Italian green energy supplier, needed an efficient surveillance system that could monitor their photovoltaic power stations that can span many square kilometers, making it nearly impossible to secure by traditional means. Thieves can enter the facilities unseen and cause damage to the property. They decided to implement Milestone System’s Xprotect video management software (VMS) in their large and remotely-located production facilities. The software alerts monitoring station operators of any suspicious incidents and allows them to contact the police immediately. During the first year of operation with the VMS, 25 attempted thefts and damages to the solar power stations were avoided, reducing losses and damages by 96 percent. The solution also ensures operation without unscheduled downtime, improving the power plants’ service levels. >> Retail

Assa Abloy’s CLIQ remote system was selected and installed at the properties, providing a simple and intelligent electromechanical locking system to allow only those with the necessary authority to obtain access to the private buildings. It also has the functionality to create time-defined user keys to allow access for a specified period of time. This feature is useful for maintenance workers who may need to access the properties outside normal opening hours. The system helped minimize security threats caused by copied or lost keys. Administrators use one single key to access all the properties and can remotely grant access or block lost or stolen keys conveniently. >> Government

VIVOTEK Monitors Turkish Bureau

The Turkish Soil and Water Conservation Bureau decided to establish a central monitoring office to secure its plant. The project required cameras that can provide wide-angle, detailed views in difficult lighting situations. VIVOTEK’s panoramic PTZ solution was used for the monitoring

station which combined the wide-range features of fisheye network cameras with the high-speed zoom and fine detail of speed dome network cameras. IR bullet network cameras protected the office grounds with its wide dynamic range technology and smart IR technology. 3D noise reduction technology further enabled clear videos under low-light conditions and reduced bandwidth from sensor noise. To tie the whole system together, VIVOTEK’s professional video/central management software was installed to allow central and remote management of all 100 IP surveillance cameras installed at the office site. >> Gaming

Tyco Secures American Casino Resort

WinnaVegas, a casino resort in Iowa, U.S., has implemented a complete security solution using Tyco Security Products’ platform to integrate its access control and video surveillance systems for its recently expanded casino facilities, hotel, and parking lots.

FLIR Secures Bulgarian Oil Refinery Perimeter

Lukoil Neftochim Burgas is the largest oil refinery in southeastern Europe. The oil production sites are vital to Bulgaria’s economy but present significant risks. The company called upon FLIR Systems for a fail-proof perimeter security solution centered on thermal imaging cameras. This solution used FLIR’s FC-series F thermal security cameras in combination with advanced video analytics software to achieve better perimeter protection. This created a so-called thermal fence which is a cost-effective solution that works well in any condition or environment. The benefits are very clear for Lukoil Neftochim: the investment in thermal cameras is much less than that of lighting and visual cameras around the entire perimeter and the system already aided them to apprehend two groups of intruders who were trying to break into the property. >> Transportation

Axis Selected for London Underground Upgrade

Canary Wharf Station approached Axis Communications partner Telent

Technology Services for a new IP video surveillance system to replace their aging analog-based system. Axis network cameras were selected for the project for its ability to integrate with both legacy and new station management platforms, strong performance in low light conditions, and its existing pedigree in the rail environment. Inside existing London Underground-approved housings 160 fixed day and night cameras were deployed, while a further four dome network cameras were installed to provide additional coverage. Telent was able to complete the upgrade to IP video in just eight weeks without any outage whatsoever. Telent’s station management system, called MICA, was simultaneously integrated into Canary Wharf’s existing station information management system to enable a seamless migration. >> Government

NUUO Enhances Namibian Government Facility Protection The Anti-Corruption Commission in Namibia houses highly sensitive information and personnel that must be protected against physical

threats. Eighty IP cameras were deployed to secure the inside and outside of the building, the camera feeds of which are transmitted to the control room. The agency opted to install NUUO’s Crystal Titan NVRs to complete their video surveillance system. The NVRs boosted the recording performance of megapixel cameras to a throughput of 250 Mbps while providing a platform to manage remote PTZ cameras with auto-patrol and programmable views. Image fusion technology stitches images from up to 10 different cameras to form a unified image. The client can also set the NVRs to perform event-triggered recording for low-activity regions. H.264 encoding is also supported which lowers bandwidth and storage demand for video files. >> Transportation

Dahua Safeguards Public Transport in Mexico

To reduce crimes from occurring on buses in Gudalajara, Mexico, security cameras became a requirement onboard. Dahua Technology provided more than 1,250 pieces of security equipment to secure over 5,000 buses. Mobile dome cameras featuring 3.6-mm fixed lens were installed beside the driver’s seat, in the middle, and at the rear of the bus. Meanwhile, a 4-channel mobile standalone DVR, at the middle-front section of the bus, supports SXGA real-time live view and synchronous real-time playback. It helps to record traffic from the front and two sides outside the bus. Dahua also enabled live video and access to video storage under low-bandwidth conditions. The solution can use 3G and provide other extended functions such as people counting and bus route management.

he Internet of Things (IoT) has become t h e b u z z wo rd i n t h e I T wo r l d a s connected devices bring tremendous benefits to users: I n a connected smart home, smart thermostats send homeowners alerts while they are away on vacation. Nanny cams let parents keep an eye on their children while still at work. In fact, with Gartner predicting that 25 billion connected devices will be in use by 2020, IoT is expected to prevail in various aspects of our daily life.

Internet of "SecurIty" thIngS In many ways, security is intricately tied to the Internet of Things. This is especially the case after a migration of security products and solutions toward IP. When all connected, they in essence form an “Internet of Security Things” to bring value to users. “In the security world, IoT is helping businesses manage all their security systems — from intrusion sensors and fire alarms to video surveillance, access control, loudspeakers, emergency stations, and video intercoms — as a single cohesive platform,” said Dr. Martin Gren, Co-Founder of Axis Communications. “Fundamentally, IoT makes video surveillance easier to use and integrate with other devices. This lowers the technology hurdle for customers significantly and

opens up a great future for integration of video surveillance with other systems.” As a matter of fact, Axis should know something about the security industry’s evolution toward IoT. Back in the 1990s, Axis’s core business was in network servers that connected printers to the network, a technology that was based upon the “thin-client” concept popular at the time. Axis saw the success of attaching printers to the network and wanted to connect other products. The technology was named the ThinServer technology and included network optical storage products as well as scan-servers. Under this framework in 1996, the company introduced the world’s first IP camera, a game changer that forever changed the face of the security industry. “The first network cameras were introduced in 1996, and by 1999 they were embedding LINUX to create an open architecture that would finally make network surveillance devices practical solutions for the security industry. This open approach to system development not only became our business model, it launched an entire network video revolution,” Gren recalled. “Today tens of millions of network video devices have been installed around the world from a vast array of manufacturers. We are proud of the fact that Axis Communications developed and brought to market the security industry’s first Internet-of-Things device: ‘The network camera.’”

Increasingly, an intricate relationship between security and IoT can be seen as more and more security devices are connected on the Internet. In the article, Axis provides its road map to the Internet of security things. BY William Pao

SecurIty BenefItS To catch up further with the IoT trend, Axis realized the need to expand its product offerings to include more than just network cameras. That’s why the company rolled out access control, network speaker, and video station solutions that are all based on IP. “About two years ago, in 2013, we introduced our networked physical access control system, which really extended our focus beyond just cameras as connected IoT devices,” said Gren. “We continue to expand in other ways, such as with the IP video door station. We also introduced the market’s first open-standard network speaker addressing the needs of many of our partners and their customers in the field.” Integration of these Internet of Security Things brings many benefits to users. In terms of security, such integration helps administrators gain situational awareness and better protect their premises. Integration of IP cameras and horn speakers through the VMS, for example, allows the administrator to directly speak to suspicious individuals. “With a camera that is only performing video surveillance, it is limited because you really can’t talk to people. But if you add an integrated horn speaker, you can actually communicate to a person — for example, if someone is loitering, or in an area they shouldn’t be, or otherwise acting suspiciously. And you can do it through a single system that manages the video and not

have to switch between different systems or interfaces,” Gren said. When video door stations are added into the system, they would further help operators gain a better understanding of what is going on. “If you think of a vertical, for example, the airport, you typically have a lot of remote entrances and exits. You also typically have pilots who come in and come out and who are not part of your access control system because you don’t know which pilot is flying to a particular destination today. So they need door stations on various entry gates in order to identify them as they hold up their name tags or look into the intercom,” he said. Further, since all the devices are connected to the Internet, the systems can be controlled from anywhere with any device.

Recent shooting incidents have brought security in colleges and universities to the spotlight, boosting debates on the ideal solutions in higher education institutions. Certain unique issues pose considerable challenges in this vertical. But with technological advancements and customized solutions, the industry has a lot in store to make campuses safer.

en people were killed and several injured when a gunman opened fire at a community college in the US state of Oregon recently. The incident was the 45th school shooting incident in the country last year, and there was little surprise when it brought college and university security in to the focus. The education sector has always been a strong market for the security industry, but unlike K-12 schools, university campuses have lagged behind in being up-to-date. The recent active shooter incidents could well be a reason to change this. “The biggest driver for improved security (and use of security technologies) at schools and colleges has been the unfortunate shooting incidents such as those at Columbine, Sandy Hook, Blacksburg, and more recently in Roseburg, Oregon,” said Charles Volschenk, MD at Geutebruck USA. “Such incidents have highlighted the difficulties in securing educational institutions against attack whilst maintaining general freedoms of the students and teachers, and have led to a big increase in safety and security planning and spending in the vertical.” But protecting colleges and universities comes with a host of challenges that are unique to itself. Most of these are due to the operational nature of the institutions, and

Opening Doors to New Possibilities BY William Pao

For years, residential intercoms have played their basic function of helping residents check the identity of a visitor, who can then be buzzed in should he or she be a known person. Today, intercom systems are seeing an expansion of that basic functionality, allowing further data-sharing between different members of the residential complex, integration with third-party devices, and remote monitoring via smartphones. In fact, many intercom vendors have rolled out their own smart home systems through which door entry as well as other household devices can be controlled.

ntercoms have gone through an evolution over the past decades, with analog, audiobased intercoms slowly transitioning into systems that enable transmission of digitized audio, video, and data signals. “Intercoms have experimented a transformation in terms of installation, features, and design: less wires, easier to install, universal use, adapted for every kind of people, a design for different styles, more durability, and specialized on making day-to-day living more comfortable,” said Elena Ravello, Brand Manager at Fermax. “Now intercoms are an essential part of homes, buildings, and businesses.” Today, more and more residences, especially apartment complexes, turn to IP-based intercoms, which are scalable, integrative, and capable of performing much more tasks than merely buzzing someone in. “IP-based intercoms will eventually replace analog ones,” said Flavio Miozzo, CEO of Infiniteplay. “Digital data transmission allows smart functions

Intercoms will evolve more and more toward smartphone and tablets, moving from a big screen hanging on our living room wall to the small screen we all have in our pockets. such as monitoring call information, data exchange between internal users, and customizable and user-friendly interface.” “Our system is designed based on the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP),” said Chih-Heng Wang, Project Manager at Amroad Technology. “Engineers can easily expand the infrastructure without the problems of compatibility. Also, a SIP-based system is easy to handshake with other third-party IP-based systems or devices.” Increasingly, remote control of the intercom via the mobile device is also gaining popularity, and IP makes that possible. “These days, people want to check visitor outside of houses, and this is related with smartphone demands,” said Jason Yeo, Territory Manager for Middle East and India at Commax. “People like to check and see many things from their smartphone.” “Intercoms will evolve more and more toward smartphone and tablets, moving from a big screen hanging on our living room wall to the small screen we all have in our pockets,” said Pierluigi Monticelli, Regional Manager for Middle East and Americas at Comelit.

The remarkable rise of Hikvision and Dahua has changed the dynamics of the security industry and has increased international awareness of the growing role of Chinese manufacturers in the international market. Local Chinese companies must set their focus on research and development if they hope to follow in their footsteps and achieve success overseas.

he global security market has seen many changes over the past few years. Among these, one significant development has been the emergence of Chinese players in the international market. Positioning themselves as low-cost alternatives to more expensive foreign brands, companies such as Hikvision Digital Technology and Dahua Technology were able to quickly gain an international foothold. Consequently, many other Chinese manufacturers have followed suit, causing a massive influx of “made-in-China” products and services into various overseas markets. Undoubtedly, this trend has made a huge impact on the industry as a whole. Although the video surveillance industry is experiencing a volume growth, average selling prices are being driven down as companies are forced to adjust their prices accordingly to remain competitive.

Product Homogeneity

JAN 2016 ● www.asmag.com

At the same time, products on the market are also becoming less differentiated or becoming increasingly similar in terms of quality or features. This trend is, in part, heightened by the fact that certain companies are mainly focused on improving their bottom line and not on innovation. According to Joe Qiu, Overseas Sales Director at TVT Digital Technology, there are generally two types of companies in the local manufacturing industry. The first type consists of companies that are hugely invested in research and development so as to come up with quality solutions, software, and hardware. The second type are manufacturers with little to no knowledge or education and are only focused on mass producing products then earning a profit by selling them

at substantially low prices. “These companies currently pose the biggest challenge for good companies like Hikvision, Dahua, and TVT, because it is impossible to explain to our customers why their prices are so low. They are using price to cause trouble in the market and this can hinder growth,” noted Qiu. In light of this, customers are becoming more price sensitive. Rather than making purchasing decisions based on qualities and features offered by a specific product, they base it on the best price they can get. If left unchecked, this could lead to an all-out price competition in the near future. “Product homogeneity is a serious issue that can result in a substantial price war,” said Johnson Jiang, Overseas Sales Manager of Hanbang Technology. “It is important to highlight product differentiation and usability. Companies should guarantee product quality, quantity, and function as well as reduce

researcH and develoPment for success In order to address this alarming turn of events and to increase their own overall competitiveness, companies should take Hikvision and Dahua’s lead and turn toward research and development for innovations that can help with product differentiation and portfolio diversification. “The reason for Hikvision and Dahua’s success lies in their huge investments in research and development as well as huge investments in marketing and quality control. Companies that want

Companies should take Hikvision and Dahua’s lead and turn toward research and development for innovations that can help with product differentiation and portfolio diversification.

There are many different approaches a company can take to make their products and services distinct from others and make themselves more attractive to a specific target market. The focus could be on improving the overall user experience, making it easy for them to deploy and implement products. “Recently, our company’s focus in research and development has been on ease of use. We are bidding farewell to old-fashioned user designs and are committed to creating a ‘foolproof’ operating system for the next generation of IP products and solutions,” remarked Jiang. “For Uniview, focusing on understanding the actual problems that different end markets may have and providing innovative technologies and solutions to solve their problems is more important than offering simple ‘supermarket-style’ products, ” said Ximen Yan, VP of Uniview Technologies. SolutIonS and nIche technologIeS

Some companies also leverage their knowledge and experience in certain market segments to provide tailor-made products and solutions. “Currently, KEDACOM’s core business revolves around public safety projects, the prosecutor’s office, courts, prisons, and the military,” commented Sher Ye, New Media Marketing Director at KEDACOM. “Faced with these types of customers, our company launched a full range of solutions such as for safe cities, intelligent transportation, remote interrogation, and arraignment.” Some Chinese companies are now also shifting their focus from merely producing products to producing solutions. “BlueSky provides customers with a full range of quality products tailored for banking customers. For instance, the company designed its own video management platform to create one-stop solution for small-, mid-, and large-sized enterprises,” said Benny Gu, Overseas Sales Director at BlueSky Technologies. Other times, it’s about analyzing the industry and positioning the company in a yet under-tapped market to possibly develop a niche for itself. “We think we are doing something quite different from our competitors. We have many high-end intelligent video surveillance products. Recently, we had a big breakthrough with our newly

JAN 2016 ● www.asmag.com

The overall security market grew in 2015 amid improved government and consumer spending in certain regions. This year, the world economy is forecast to grow 3.3 percent compared to last year, according to the World Bank. At the same time, the world is still living amid constant criminal activities and threats — last year’s terrorist attacks in Paris and San Bernardino, California, served as two vivid examples. These factors, plus ever more advanced technology and solutions that help various vertical markets improve security as well as operational efficiency, are expected to drive market growth even further this year.

economy, threats, and technology are major drivers

he global security industry grew in 2015, with Memoori Business Intelligence estimating the total value of world production of physical security products at factory gate prices was US$27.3 billion. The figure translated into a growth of 7.6 percent from 2014. “Generally speaking, both government investment and consumer spending in the security industry improved in 2015 — but are still below what we saw prior to the most recent global economic recession,” said Dave

Petratis, CEO of Allegion. “We still expect that it will take more time for institutional budgets to normalize — especially given there’s some uncertainty in global economics, including the strength of the dollar and weakness of commodities.” In terms of technology, the three major areas across the physical security arena — access control, video surveillance, and intrusion — all registered growth. “Access control has maintained its growth of 10 percent last year thanks to its moves into IP network and biometric and identity management systems,” said Allan McHale,

Director of Memoori. “As for video surveillance, despite sustained high rates of growth in China of over 30 percent, we estimate world growth at 8.9 percent, marginally lower than 2014. The intruder system market has long since reached maturity, but its increasing use of radar and thermal cameras has contributed to growth edging up to 3.5 percent.”

in terrorist or criminal activities, an increase in spending power in some parts of the world, and higher demands for more advanced security solutions. “In light of recent terrorist attacks, crime trends, and emphasis on school safety, security is seen as a constant need,” Petratis said. “In addition, disposable income for middle-class populations is increasing in some emerging markets, while the Millennials are embracing, and expecting, technology-based security options. These factors, among others, will continue to drive more advanced security solutions and upgrades.” In 2016, total security equipment sales are expected to edge up by 8 percent, and by 2020, total sales are expected to rise to $42 billion, according to Memoori.

BIG DATA ENABLING

SMART BUILDINGS Big data systems are used to process and analyze the vast amounts of information generated by various sensors in the modern smart building. Their success in doing so is bound to drive cost savings and also change the way we work; however, widespread adoption is still far.

JAN 2016 â&#x2014;? www.asmag.com

Peter Dickinson, CTO, BuildingIQ Doug Jacobson, Senior R&D Engineer, Crestron Rob Martens, Futurist and Director of Connectivity Platforms, Allegion Joe Phillips, AIA, Director of Building Industry Solutions, IBM Office buildings are prime candidates for "smart" building technology.

n 2015, the Amsterdam headquarters building of consulting firm Deloitte was voted the “World’s Smartest Building.” The building, fittingly named “The Edge” it is an example of how the use of sensors, big data, and connectivity changes the way companies manage office buildings. The Edge is also the greenest building in the world. The British rating agency BREEAM, gave it the highest sustainability score ever awarded: 98.4 percent. In addition, The Edge is probably the most connected building in the world, with 28,000 sensors; motion, light, temperature, humidity, and infrared sensors are laced in and around the building and collect, track, and analyze data. License plate recognition (LPR) cameras recognize entering vehicles and direct them to vacant parking places. Work places are assigned to the 2,500 workers based on their daily schedule in a system called “hot-desk,” which allocates work station (i.e., conference rooms, desks, etc.) based on workers needs and preferences instead of having empty unmanned desks during the day when employees are in meetings or out of the office. Using this system, Deloitte managed to cut the number of desks in the building by almost half. In addition, when many people are out of the office, the building management can choose to close off parts of the building and

save utility costs on lighting, heating, cooling, and cleaning. Sensors also tell the building management which areas need cleaning first, placing areas in use more during the day on the top of the cleaning crew’s list. At night, office security is managed by a small robot patrolling the grounds. Equipped with cameras, it can transmit video to a security control post and let human operators decide if an alarm is false or not. “The premise of IoT is that billions of devices will communicate with each other and benefit us,” explained Rob Martens, Futurist and Director of Connectivity Platforms at Allegion during a speech given at ISC West in 2015. “The core of IoT is ambient intelligence — systems that focus on people and their experience,” Martens said. “There are several types of sensors: embedded sensors, context aware sensors (i.e., sensors that understand the activity and environment the user is in), personalized, adaptive (i.e., sensors that react to what happens in the environment), and anticipatory sensors, anticipating user intentions. The number of connected devices is staggering. A thoughtful combination of some or all these sensors gives a more personalized experience and this is the upcoming expectation of users.” Sensors are only one part of the

Body-Worn Camera BY Israel Gogol, Freelancer

Market

The market for body-worn cameras has seen rapid expansion in the last two years. The numbers of available models has multiplied, fitting every client size and budget, and an industry shakeout is imminent.

hile conducting the research for this article, a&s wanted to pinpoint the moment in time when the market for body-worn cameras started to boom — what was the trigger? “It all started with Ferguson,” answered Brad Barnes, Law Enforcement Specialist at Vizucop. “The market has definitely exploded from that point.” The incident Barnes is referring to is that of the fatal shooting of Michael Brown, an 18-year-old African American man, by a white police officer from Ferguson, Missouri, U.S., which escalated into protests and riots the day following the shooting. Apart from peaceful protest, the

tension between law enforcement and protesters also escalated into vandalism, looting, rioting, arson, and firearm use. A second wave of protests erupted after a jury decided not to indict the police officer that shot Brown. Conflicting accounts and lack of video evidence made it unclear whether or not the shooting was justified. Following the Ferguson incidents, US President Barack Obama announced his commitment to building trust and transparency between law enforcement and the communities they serve. As part of this commitment, the US Federal Government has awarded grants to law enforcement agencies to purchase law enforcement cameras. The target of this program is to help purchase 55,000 bodycams. These grants require a 50/50 match from the agency, meaning that the government is subsidizing half of the cost. The grant can be used to purchase equipment and requires that applicants establish an implementation plan and a robust training policy before purchasing cameras. Each agency awarded a grant is responsible for developing a plan for long-term storage, including the cost of storing data. During 2015, US$19 million was allocated to different agencies (most of them small) to purchase 21,000 cameras. Body-worn cameras are becoming common service in the U.S. and are seen everywhere from small towns to big cities. “In the next 18 months it will reach 75- to 80-percent saturation rate in the market,” predicted Barnes. While demand for body-worn cameras has sprung up in the U.S., their use is strong all over the world, including Europe and Asia. “UK police departments have

been using body-worn cameras for as long as seven years. From a percentage point of view, the percentage of police departments using body-worn video is the highest in the United Kingdom, but we are seeing a substantial global take-up of the technology,” said Jo McLean, VP for International Marketing at Reveal.

Benefits of Body-Worn Cameras Although research into the topic is still limited, it shows usage of body cameras by police officers has reduced the number of citizen complaints and internal investigations regarding officer misconduct. Body-worn cameras eliminate the “he said, she said” problem, explained Barnes. It is the best way to know if officer conduct was appropriate or not or if a civilian is making false claims. Barnes gave as an example a case where a young woman stopped for drunk driving accused a police officer of sexually harassing her. Had there been a camera recording the event it would have been easy to find out the truth. Cameras of UK-based Reveal have a front-facing screen that shows people that they are being recorded. “The front-facing screen on our body cameras has been found to have had a profound effect on the end users who wear our cameras. The screen shows people in real time what is being recorded. This means they often notice themselves being recorded which can dramatically alter their behavior. In many cases this has deterred physical and verbal aggression, protecting officers and resolving incidents quicker,” said McLean.

Choosing the right Camera The wide choice of cameras available on the market might make choosing the right one confusing. “The customer should first know what their requirements are. For example, how many hours of recording are needed, how they want to wear the camera (i.e., chest only or also helmet or shoulder), do they need live streaming or just recording, a simple one-sizefits all system versus a modular system that allows for customization (e.g., connect external cameras), security features such as encryption or different authorization levels, what VMS system to use, etc.,” explained Bart van der Aa, CEO of Netherlands-based Zepcam. Most bodycams have similar specs. Most come with pre-event recording and start

Z-WAVE SEES POTENTIAL IN RETAIL CHANNELS

Christian Paetz, CEO, Z-Wave Europe

“We have seen very solid growth in Europe in the last years, and we now see the technology enter the retail channel. If it’s possible to communicate well in retail channels there is a huge upside. So far most retail channels either don’t have a clear strategy or have not implemented this in the field. It is not enough to just show the products in their packaging. The largest hurdle is still the variety of different wireless standards and the proprietary nature of most offerings (even some that claim to be open). Consumers can’t understand this and they feel helpless. Z-Wave is on a good path to present itself as an ecosystem with various vendors all interoperating together. This is something consumers know from standards like WiFi — certainly the right way to go.”

AURORA HIGHLIGHTS BETTER USER EXPERIENCES

Neil Salt, Chief Product and Marketing Officer, Aurora Group

JAN 2016 ● www.asmag.com

“It’ll be a slow start, speeding up in 2017/2018. Awareness, education, consumer confidence once they begin to understand the benefits will drive the growth. What hinders growth is potentially cost, not understanding the best solution and whether those solutions will work best together. User experience will hinder growth because there are not that many products on the market. Negative user experiences can be removed by manufacturers creating more interoperable products, simpler user interface, and more autonomous systems. A pervasive deployment network of educated installers and commissioners will be a critical component in expediting the adoption and give consumers comfort that everything works together as it should — and someone to call when it doesn’t! It will take some large, well-known home brands to get on board with this so that it’s not some kick starter overnight success/flop.”

OOMI: WE’RE RIGHT AT THE BEGINNING OF A BIG CHANGE

Brian Hirsh, Marketing, Fantem Technologies

“We’re right at the beginning of a big change in people’s lives at home. We’re going to see adoption of smart home technology expand rapidly in the next few years. The devices are finally catching up with the average consumer. People were testing them out before, and they were designed too much for engineers or people who want to spend a lot of time and effort learning these systems to create their smart home. We are finally seeing technology coming out that is easy enough for the average consumer to use, and also affordable enough. I think that’s the combination that will really inspire the growth of the smart home industry.”

COZIFY: THE INDUSTRY NEEDS COMPANIES THAT CONNECT EVERYTHING TOGETHER

Antti Vihavainen, Business Development, Cozify

DSP: SMART HOME WILL SEE SIGNIFICANT GROWTH

Tali Chen, CVP of Corporate Development, DSP Group

“We believe that the smart home will present a significant growth in the coming years. The smart home market is still in very early stages, there are a few issues that are delaying the mass adoption — ease of use, cost, reliability, and multiple standards with no interoperability. Ultralow energy (ULE) solves a big portion of these hindrances. ULE-based systems are easy to use and built to be self-installed. With its range, DECT can provide full home coverage so there is no need for repeaters, making the system cost attractive. The spectrum of the DECT is interference free so the system is more reliable. When adding voice to the picture as the means to manage the system, we will see more people picking up IoT services.”

“The market will grow at an increasing speed due to several factors. One is the availability of innovative solutions that will be able to cater to the needs of new customers. Another one is the entries of internet giants into the scene — they will attract a lot of publicity and thus increase the awareness in the general public. Factors that are possibly slowing down the growth include immature products and the resulting consumer disappointment and bad publicity. Furthermore, industry standards are very heterogeneous and causing end users a lot of confusion. To use the smart home applications, the end user is forced to learn UIs and choose from multiple technologies. To overcome this, the industry needs companies that connect everything together and drive UX unification forward.”

SHARP: GOVERNMENT AND INFRASTRUCTURE PLAY IMPORTANT ROLES IN DRIVING THE MARKET

Linda Lim, Marketing Manager, Marketing Department Digital Visual Systems, SharpRoxy Sales and Service Malaysia

“Depending on the region in Southeast Asia, the government and infrastructure, such as broadband, can play important roles in driving the smart home market. Smart home adoption can be very fast especially for Malaysia as we are only at the introductory stage. With broadband penetration in Malaysia around 70 percent, faster data speed at lower cost would provide the impetus for growth. We see more competitors coming into the country, and with more competitors and government initiatives, we can see very fast growth.”
