Is Video Analytics being
commoditized?:
Interview with the CEO
iOmniNews: Dr. Kanga, most products in security are being commoditized. Is this the case with Video Analytics?
Kanga: The simple answer is NO. It is true that most products in the security business are being commoditized. This is especially true for cameras and recording equipment such as DVRs and NVRs and to a large extent, VMS systems. Command and Control systems perform essentially the same functions and most suppliers are therefore only able to compete on a few esoteric extra features and on price.
It's exactly the opposite for video analytics.
iOmniNews: Why is it different for Video Analytics from all other products?
Kanga: Most products used in security have been around for a fairly long time. The technologies are stable and easily replicated. Take cameras - even the new features built by the major camera companies are available fairly quickly thereafter from low cost manufacturers from Asia.
