\nAside from the obvious growth rate within the industry there are several factors that make video surveillance a very attractive category for IT companies, particularly for local VARs and integrators that have a unique set of skills ideally suited for the new surveillance market as well as have strong relationships with many of the most lucrative market segments such as education, finance, and health care. Traditionally, video surveillance equipment has been purchased and installed by companies that specialized in the area of CCTV technologies and general security. However, with the increased popularity of IP Cameras and other related technologies the installation of video surveillance solutions requires networking expertise which is an area of strength for VARs. In addition, other technologies such as VSaaS (Video Storage as a Service) are emerging which further the need for IT knowledge.<\/p>\n
\nWhen it comes to video surveillance many people think of companies like Sony, Samsung or even GE or maybe they think of consumer products from companies such as Logitech, or Nest but few outside the video surveillance market would know the name Hikvision. Hikvision has been in business since 2001 manufacturing OEM commercial grade surveillance cameras for many of the largest and most recognizable brands in the industry making them the world\u2019s leading supplier of video surveillance solutions with 20% market share, 4 times that of the next closest provider. Today, they have grown to over $4 billion in annual revenue, have over 12,000 employees and were recently named to Forbes Top 100 Most Innovative Company\u2019s in 2016. Hikvision, with the industry\u2019s strongest and largest R&D Department is well renowned for its quality as well as innovative video surveillance products.<\/p>\n
\nHikvision designs, develops, and manufactures innovative standard- and high-definition cameras, including a variety of Smart IP recorders and cameras with infrared, wide dynamic range, facial detection, object counting, and intrusion detection capabilities.
