The Worshipful Company of Security Professionals

CALLING ALL LIVERYMEN, FREEMEN & MEMBERS!
COMMON HALL is on MONDAY 23RD NOVEMBER 2009 at JP Morgan, 60 Victoria Embankment, London EC4Y 0JP

Common Hall is your chance to learn more about the Livery Company you have chosen to join: a modern Company with strong links to the past and great plans for the future.

Following the meeting of the Court in the Library at JP Morgan’s stunning London headquarters, there will be ceremonies in The Great Hall to admit Members to the Freedom of the Company and to robe Freemen in the Livery of the Company.

The Master, Chairman of the Board of Trustees and the Chairmen of the Standing Committees will then give short presentations on the activities and achievements of the Company in the past 12 months and look ahead to the challenges and goals in the coming year.

Alderman and Sheriff David Wootton has kindly agreed to attend and will present the Commendation Certificates to those nominated for the Sheriffs’ Awards. These prestigious Awards are respected throughout the City of London and “blue light” agencies across the country now take part.

Common Hall then finishes with a Reception and the opportunity to renew old acquaintances and make new friends over a few glasses of wine and beer - and some truly delicious canapés!

The Master, Wardens and Court would like all Members of the Company to attend and support Common Hall.

There is no charge. This is a free event!

It is also a wonderful opportunity for you to invite a prospective member along to see the Company at first hand.

NB:

For security and catering reasons only those who book in advance will be admitted.


Please email the Clerk at Clerk@WCoSP.org to reserve your place(s).

Forecast: 200% Growth IP Video Surveillance 2010-2012

Over the next 3 years, attacks against analog CCTV will accelerate on all sides. We forecast IP video surveillance product sales will increase by 200% total between 2010 and 2012, significantly disrupting and overtaking analog CCTV sales.




We are now bullish on the growth of IP video driven by recent widespread advances in product offering and pricing.

Why Now?

Last year, we projected a significant slowdown in IP video spending as the global economic markets imploded. This slowdown certainly occurred, documented in the deteriorated financial performance of most leading video surveillance companies.

However, in the last year, important advances in new products offered by both up-start and incumbent manufacturers have significantly enhanced the competitiveness of IP video.

What's Driving This Growth

We see 5 main drives behind this projected rapid growth:

Mainstream 720p/1.3MP cameras cut into the cost advantage of analog cameras
Mainstream hybrid DVRs remove the barriers of legacy deployments to migrate to IP
Emerging managed/hosted video undermines analog's advantages in small deployments
Emerging panoramic cameras further cut the cost advantage of analog cameras
Maturing IP camera standards will cut costs and reduce complexity

In 2009, significant advances have occurred in all of these areas.

Where Does this Projection Come from?

This is our theory based on non-public information we have gathered from over 100 sources on sales, product roadmaps and trends. It assumes weak economic growth over the 3 year period, limited overall growth in video surveillance and no major terrorist actions. A V-shaped recovery and/or terrorist events could enable the market to exceed this projection. A double dip secondary recession or growth of HDcctv could cause the market to underperform this projection.

What Does this Projection Mean?

We believe IP video growth will significantly outperform current industry expectations of 25 - 35% annual growth. While forecasting the future in a period of economic turmoil is more art than science, we are confident that IP video will gain the upper hand in general commercial deployments during this period.

Inside this report, we examine in-depth the factors driving this growth and the impact this is likely to have on industry participants.

and there is a clear feeling of optomism on the floor. Clearly, there's a number of slightly cloudy security professionals walking the aisles, and, I understand how that feels? There is so much business done at the various functions outside of the halls and last night I'm sure was no exception. With cocktails on the Milestone booth, the scene for my evening was set. It was a pleasure to be so well entertained in such good company and to hear only positives from the many partner companies in attendance. Milestone continue to deliver a business model others have tried to replicate but they do it so well, with a co-ordinated approach to technology and partnerships they really are a business that demonstrates joined up thinking. Bumping in to industry faces is always a pleasure and I particually enjoyed hearing from Martijn Kolenbrander of www.pivot3.com worth a click if you enjoy something new and different. Moving on to part two of the evening and like many others my interest in Cisco got the better of me, and it was with pleasure I was able to learn of the approach to market from Kent Breaux kbreaux@cisco.com. For those in the know, Cisco are already in the frame, for those that don't know, take a look at www.cisco.com. To name check just a couple of business I got to learn of over a hot wing and a glass of red two companies stood out www.sightlogix.com and www.axxonsoft.com.
Dallmeier have announced a new range of H.264 cameras coming out in October. Full HD offering 25-50 fps. with a fixed camera range and PTZ dome camera range. Keep an eye on www.dallmeier-electronic.com. Commenting on the show, James Walker MD. explained "the halls feel comfortable. The traffic level at the stand has been good, with quality people new and old, it's given us the confidence to book space for 2010 without hesitation."
Luis Coello of Axxon was delighted to discuss what has to be one of the largest BMS systems known / over 80,000 cameras! If you can beat than do let me know me know, it would make an interesting Editorial piece! So off to the floor for another day of meeting and greeting and reviewing the many technological developments on offer / if you have something you consider special, let me know and we'll do our best to take a look simply mail peter@cctvmedia.co.uk with a booth number and we'll do the rest! Have a great day and enjoy what looks like another busy day!,
Kind Regards
