Financial security market development is unstoppable

With the rapid increase in the number of financial institutions, the requirements for security are constantly increasing, and they are basically updated every five years. These conditions provide a vast market for the application of security video equipment in the financial industry.

Currently, there are more than 350,000 financial business outlets in China. According to relevant statistics, by 2014, China’s ATM machines exceeded 400,000. From the perspective of the number of ATMs per million people, the gap in China's ATM demand is still large. In 2009, China had only 141 ATMs per million population, and the city had 550 ATMs per million population, far below the average of 1,150 units in the top 20 countries in the world. At present, it still maintains an average annual growth rate of more than 20%.

With the prevalence of banks' monitoring systems for existing outlets, the upgrading of surveillance systems has become a trend. Most banks this year have concentrated on upgrading and upgrading the old outlets, and based on this, equipment expansion has been carried out to ensure that there are no dead ends in security monitoring. Or blind area. The application of China's bank security equipment has basically formed the "five-yearly and renewed" pattern. In addition to the annual necessary upgrades to the security system, the financial industry has formed a security market demand of tens to hundreds of billions per year. Under the trend of high-definition, bank monitoring will not be affected. From the front-end monitoring equipment to the entire monitoring system, the momentum of high-definition trends is growing.

The need for financial and security technology to follow up the financial and security market is so broad, and it has very good market prospects for the next development. So, what is the effectiveness of security in the financial industry in terms of the current market?

The application of coexisting multiple HD surveillance systems in the financial industry has also achieved some initial results. High-definition cameras have been installed at key locations, entrances, and cash point counters, vaults, and other important parts of business outlets, mainly to assist the financial system in its normal operations. Corresponding security vendors have launched three high-definition solutions for financial services, namely 960H, IP HD and SDI HD. The three solutions have their advantages and disadvantages in practical applications. The 960H monitoring solution is simple to upgrade. There is no qualitative change in the system architecture, transmission lines, and product types, but the product performance and functionality are improved. At the same time, in the network transmission, alarm access, display terminals and other aspects of the traditional video surveillance program is exactly the same, suitable for the financial transition in the analog camera DVR application mode of the new construction and transformation. IP monitoring is the fastest-growing monitoring technology in recent years. It has the advantages of flexible application, multi-level management of storage, easy expansion, and ease of cross-region management. It is a monitoring program with a wider range of applications in the future. However, the application of the financial industry is facing Many bottlenecks.

Although the popularity of HD-SDI applications is not as high as that of IP networks, HD-SDI has obvious advantages of no distortion, real-time transmission, and no influence from the Internet, and is more easily accepted by customers.

â—‡ Achievements in Video Networking With the expansion of the financial system and advances in information management, the transformation and upgrading of financial platforms to large integrated networked monitoring and alerting platforms is also of great significance to assisting financial security and business management. The application of the financial industry focuses on system integration and monitoring and networking. In order to better conduct planning and management, the financial industry needs to invest in the construction or upgrade of the original video surveillance networking software. So far, some financial institutions have begun to deploy the province's network, and even some financial networks have already achieved the monitoring and networking of the national network. Because each financial infrastructure and the short-listing system is different, there is a difference in the extent of its technological application. In addition, considering potential security risks of network security and business management involving important business data, whether security and business integration are needed is a concern for users.

â—‡ In-depth integration integration Through the deployment of large-scale integrated networking platforms, event archiving, event processing and device management are handled. Major finances have integrated and integrated various subsystems such as monitoring and alarming. Based on the needs of management and security precautions, the platform is required to integrate deeper into access control systems, IP intercom, alarm systems, broadcasting, and fire protection systems.

â—‡ Intelligent analysis The application of video data analysis and mining generates more valuable and value-added information. In order to better serve financial security and management, intelligence is an essential means. For example, personnel flaws, artifacts left behind, camera shake, etc., future intelligent face technology such as face analysis, face recognition tracking, crowd gathering, etc. will be more applied to the financial industry, but due to the false analysis rate of intelligent analysis has been unavoidable, to some extent Aggravating the workload of staff, improving the accuracy of intelligent video analysis technology, improving the amount of maintenance work caused by false alarms, and reducing the work intensity of human monitoring massive video screens are the focus of intelligent analysis in financial development.

加速 Accelerated response by all levels of cooperation with the unit With the financial security system moving toward the direction of informatization, the financial industry has put forward further requirements for product suppliers, integrators, and construction contractors. It is not only required that product suppliers provide supporting integrated solutions and products that meet financial use habits and highlight industry characteristics. With the continuous development of security digital technology, the financial security system is facing a new round of transformation. The original system cannot be completely replaced at one time. In the process of upgrading, the integrator must do a smooth docking and access work before financial security can be achieved. The system reaches the level of integrated management to gain financial users' approval. This poses more challenges for integrators' integration capabilities, integration experience, and development capabilities.

With the advent of a new round of financial system upgrades, there will be unpredictable potential business opportunities for the entire security market. There is great potential for improvement in HD surveillance.

High-definition surveillance promotes financial security For a long time, security systems have played an extremely important role in protecting property security in the financial industry. The application of security technology in the financial industry is generally at the forefront. From the tape recorders of the 1990s to the current digital hard disk recorders, the equipment they use is often the most advanced and cutting-edge technology equipment. Bank security application trends Basically represents the overall development trend of the security industry.

The standard of "Bank's Risk Level and Security Protection Level in Banks" says, "This revision of GA38 mentioned that there must be monitoring within a radius of 50 meters outside the business premises. Before it was more about the business premises, The monitoring of the external 50 meters must use high-definition technology." This provision indirectly promoted the further development of high-definition monitoring applications in the financial sector.

With respect to video surveillance equipment manufacturers, high-definition is already a trend of security monitoring. If you do not do high-definition, you will automatically abandon future malls. Therefore, in the past, many manufacturers who did mimicry monitoring entered the field of high-definition surveillance in 2010 and switched to digital high-definition surveillance. They wanted to share a slice of new shopping malls and constituted the domestic HD industry in full swing.

At present, in the market application of high-definition cameras, accounting for about 11% of the financial sector, second only to traffic monitoring, is the main market for high-definition product applications. From the market point of view, due to the attention paid by the government and institutions, the financial industry will further expand its security needs and it is expected to form a market scale of several hundred million yuan. From the technical point of view, with the development of high-security monitoring and networked development, it will also guide financial security development in both directions. Therefore, we can see that video surveillance has a very broad space for development in the financial sector.

At present, every major financial organization in China is adding a lot of business outlets every year, plus the renewal and promotion of the original security system of financial organizations. According to people in the industry, as the financial category of security surveillance points shopping malls, there will be an attractive prospect in the era of high-definition, intelligence and networking.

In terms of product requirements, due to its special nature, it also has special requirements on the performance of security products. The first is the high quality of the image, clear, bright, and even details of the action should be able to see clearly. Secondly, the stability of the system and the function of the network alarm are higher. In addition, because the bank's network is dispersed, the networked performance is also an important consideration. For example, cameras above a bank counter must achieve high-definition, high-definition quality. In addition, in the 24-hour self-service facilities such as ATMs, the infrared and low-light performance of the surveillance cameras must be high to meet the surveillance in dark nighttime environments.

The bank's high-definition equipment is currently viewed from the front-end market. There are network-based and SDI high-definition cameras. At present, network-based applications are still more. SDI HD video cameras in some areas will cooperate with the construction of safe cities, with the construction of public security departments to set up some of these cameras, these cameras set high demands on enterprises, they are different from ordinary cameras, according to the test in the bank From the perspective of wide dynamics and high resolution requirements, in particular, there are high requirements and standards for the clarity of tellers.

In the ATM monitoring system, the demand for intelligent analysis of monitoring systems is increasing. In the intelligent analysis, the monitoring system is mainly to prevent the installation of fraud advertisements, the removal of password protection covers, the installation of card readers or camera equipment, and other crimes, it can give the user an alarm message in time to avoid such risks. For example, when deliberately blocking the surveillance camera or taking money, the payer uses his hand or other objects to cover the face, causing the monitoring system to fail to recognize the alarm. The alarm device will be activated and the alarm will be issued within the first time to avoid all illegal activities.

High-definition video technology has been widely used in the field of video surveillance in recent years. It mainly refers to digital video technology that enables image resolution to reach 1280×720 (720P) and above. The resolution of high-definition video is now mainly 1280×720 (720P), 1280×960 (960P), 1920×1080 (1080P) and other specifications. High-definition video technology has been booming in security monitoring areas such as safe cities, intelligent transportation, and special surveillance. More and more surveillance systems have begun to use high-definition video technology, mainly because they have the following advantages:

High-resolution, wider monitoring horizon: With the same degree of visual clarity, a high-definition camera is equivalent to four traditional analog surveillance cameras that are more efficient, more economical, more practical, and have more detailed details: Image magnification After that, the details are still clearly visible and the edges are clear and unambiguous.

Using CCD image sensors that are more suitable for monitoring: The progressive scan CCD sensor used in high-definition network cameras effectively avoids problems such as motion blur and tearing of interlaced camera images, and the images are more delicate and moving. Excellent night vision performance: In the low illumination background, it can not only effectively suppress the local strong light, but also can clearly see the detail of the low light, and can maintain the high-definition image quality under low light conditions. At present, the use of high-definition cameras for video surveillance has also gradually begun in the financial industry, and its market prospects are very optimistic.

Financial security HD surveillance prospect analysis HD is the trend of the security industry, which is beyond doubt. In a sense, high-definition is not limited to front-end devices, but also consider back-end storage devices. In other words, the cost of high-definition systems is no longer a matter of the price of a single device, but a set of system problems. . The current high-definition price has fallen sharply compared with several years ago. Although it cannot be predicted that there will be such a trend in the future, the application of high-definition will become more and more popular. The high-definition monitoring will certainly take the civilian route.

The application of high-definition video surveillance not only provides a pure HD network camera to solve the problem of high-definition surveillance, but also needs guarantees such as storage, transmission, display, and software platform. Without any of these links, HD monitoring cannot be guaranteed. Effect. From the front-end to the back-end, the entire system must meet the requirements of high-definition, that is, the overall high-definition is called real HD.

The development of high-definition has encountered the problem of high-speed transmission. That is, the bandwidth and the amount of data are too large. Both 720P and 1080P are too large: it is relatively smooth in the local area, and it is more difficult to reach different places. Why? It is bandwidth. To resolve this contradiction, we must speed up. In this regard, Professor Su Guangda of the Department of Electronic Engineering at Tsinghua University believes that there is a concept of handling front-ends. If the front-end carries out some intelligent analysis and then analyzes the images of useful events, it can solve broadband problems very well.

This is very high-definition in the local, very high speed, after the network transmission, the same high-definition images can be seen in different places, so the idea of ​​dealing with the front is a good attempt. Some companies at home and abroad have already launched some processing modules and event analysis modules. If there is a more powerful processor, good analysis software, and a good pre-processing, HD can achieve the effect of early warning, which is a direction to solve the transmission and storage problems.

High-definition monitoring is used in networking platforms. One of the major problems is remote monitoring and video transmission. Bandwidth is currently one of the main factors that limit high-definition networking applications. How to solve the broadband problem, "Dual Streaming Playback" technology is a technology dedicated to high-definition video surveillance broadband transmission technology. By adding a dual-stream playback engine to the product, a “high-definition valve” can be placed on the nodes of the network monitoring platform for transmission at the front and back ends. Both high- and low-resolution video can be exported in real time to meet the low network speed. The need for remote calls ensures high-definition video storage.

The biggest advantage of dual-stream playback technology is that under the premise of ensuring the continuity of screen playback without occupying hard disk resources, it can provide low-rate substreams to meet the needs of long-distance network transmission, even under low bandwidth conditions. You can view smooth video recordings. In essence, dual-stream playback technology considers both image quality and transmission quality when the existing network bandwidth is insufficient. Allows users to flexibly select the stream format according to the network bandwidth to achieve local high-definition storage, while the back-end low-stream network transmission. This undoubtedly provides a brand-new solution for high-definition applications and remote management in the domestic security industry.

High-definition is the trend of the security industry. With the improvement of security monitoring requirements in the financial sector, HD will surely shine in the financial sector, and HD will only make a difference in the industry if it breaks through its own development bottlenecks.

Concluding remarks The financial and security market is open. With the openness and upgrading of the financial market itself, coupled with the need to strengthen the level of financial security, the future needs of the financial security market are very large. From the perspective of current security applications in the financial industry, high-definition surveillance is becoming a new application demand highlight. The replacement of SD by HD is an inevitable trend. As a pioneer in the application of security technology, financial security will undoubtedly continue to be at the forefront in high-definition surveillance applications.
