Top Video Surveillance Companies

Today, in state-of-the-art security, video surveillance is an inevitable element, and the fast pace of the changes around this field is noticeable. All, from governments to corporate entities to individuals, are being increasingly affected by the impending demand for safety, threat detection, and operational intelligence. Improvements in AI, analytics, and IoT have turned monitoring systems ubiquitous, at times even beyond stadiums and smart cities, and now, airports feel as if they are under surveillance. AI-driven surveillance supports scaling up and real-time responses, processing huge volumes of video data within minimal time. As technology advances, surveillance continues to play a crucial role in making the world smart, safe, and resilient. This page discusses key elements and emerging trends affecting the global video surveillance industry.

Industry Overview

According to SkyQuest Technology “Video Surveillance Market By Offering (Hardware, Software, and Service) By Vertical (Commercial, Infrastructure, Military & Defense, Residential, Public Facilities, and Industrial), By System Type, By Region - Industry Forecast 2025-2032,” the hybrid segment witnessed the highest growth, particularly among developing regions and small to medium-sized businesses. It makes sense to leverage these technologies since they can be costly on their own.
