The UK CCTV industry went through a tumultuous change during the recession with some spectacular changes in the distribution model. The industry needs to prepare for this technology change otherwise it will suffer again.
London, UK. March 28 2013. Bikal has been through the ups and downs that any business goes through when it is in the process of growing. The positive factors have largely been around the international presence that it is having built up with buyers and suppliers. There is a growing understanding of the brands core values and what the company is trying to do, but perhaps this is not as clear to outsiders.
For a long time the CCTV industry in the UK has been a preserve of analogue legacy equipment and perversely the recession preserved a lot of these business and the ones that tried to bring in new technology did not quite make it through. The lack of support can be an argument levied to suppliers but then customers should embrace the new technology rather that apply a handshake and wait to see what is happening. IP CCTV is not only here to stay, its use is becoming far reaching that just security and a deterrent to security.
Bikal has spent the more quiet time to lean its business more into the IP world and for video to interact with more software to product some outstanding analytics. These analytics are readily available or we can bespeak an analytic based on the requirement. Our internal product management can even plan a generation of video analytics so that the wait for deployment is not long and that first generation software can be used and then feedback applied to following generations. It is an industry and end user partnership which we feel in a new product area is crucial.
This then leads to the message we are getting across to our customers, we are not here to prevent deficit through preventing or catching crime. But we design our product and applications to be more socially and operationally aware to improve the good of the many by analysing the good of the few. This method will and has already produced some interesting solutions which will in some form or another be released. In the meantime, if you have an application or problem that can save you time and money to then divert those resources into something more productive, then do contact us.
