5 Opportunities and Challenges for the Security Industry Under the Epidemic

On 2021 and 2022, the COVID19?rage is going on, and?many?small and medium-sized enterprises have quietly ushered in a wave of reshuffles. After the reshuffle, how many security companies can still stand on the top?

?With the raging of the new COVID19, many small and medium-sized enterprises can only be in a state of shutdown for a long time. Although the business can be stopped at any time, the corresponding employee wages and office rents cannot be stopped. Whether to resume work has become the first strategic consideration for countless companies. question. Although everyone understands in their hearts that returning to work does not mean having income, not returning to work means "waiting to die".

The emergence of the epidemic is not just about suffering, but also new opportunities emerge as the times require. Intelligent transportation, artificial intelligence and temperature measurement and prevention and control industries have once again entered people's attention. With the coexistence of opportunities and challenges, how to grasp the opportunities and realize the development and commercialization of emerging technologies will become the key for many security companies to occupy a place in the fierce market competition.

With the development of 5G and artificial intelligence and the support of policies, a series of industry support policies are likely to emerge after the reshuffle of the epidemic, which will also provide a good policy environment for the development of the smart security industry.

Smart Transportation

After all, this epidemic is a public health security event, and the main demand behind it is to respond to public health security events, public security events, large-scale emergencies and other scenarios. Therefore, the background of this market demand is city-level, large-scale traffic control and services.

?Many intelligent transportation companies and Internet companies have released solutions, related applications and products for the prevention and control of this epidemic. Overall, the products and solutions of each company are basically still in the category of thermal imaging and body temperature monitoring. The demand dimension of the flow of people and vehicles will skyrocket. Information such as the management and control of the flow of people and the travel trajectories of vehicles is also a test of the government’s governance ability, a test of the intelligent transportation system that invests hundreds of billions of dollars every year, and has also spawned smart city-related enterprises. a major development opportunity.

5G Commercialization

Just as 4G technology makes real-time dissemination of surveillance images, cloud technology and other technologies possible. The nationwide commercialization of 5G technology has also brought new possibilities to the security industry. With the continuous development of the Internet of Things and the live broadcast "cloud supervisor" derived from the epidemic, the development and application of 5G has been accelerated to a certain extent. From a technical point of view, the transmission efficiency provided by 5G can provide more possibilities for security equipment. sex. Ultra-high-definition cameras, more intelligent modules, and real-time cloud storage all require the support of 5G technology.

?The 5G environment provides conditions for security to realize the Internet of Everything. The Internet of Vehicles, Internet of Things, smart cities, and drone network construction are all inseparable from the application of 5G technology. Today's 5G field is in the stage of layout and technology discovery just like the artificial intelligence field in the first two years, but everyone also knows the importance of 5G technology. And 2020, as the first year of large-scale deployment and mature application of 5G technology, is bound to show strong possibilities.

AI Robot

In the face of the sudden outbreak of pneumonia caused by the new COVID19, in addition to the day and night struggles of front-line medical staff, "artificial intelligence" has also moved to the forefront in a special period and has received the baptism of anti-epidemic.

?The AI robot has the characteristics of flexible movement, autonomous search and interaction, and a wide service area. During the critical period of fighting the epidemic, the robot is allowed to carry out part of the work in the outpatient department, inpatient department, logistics and other departments of the hospital, which can serve both patients and medical staff. , reduce human-to-human contact and prevent cross-infection. Moreover, the robot moves flexibly, seeks people autonomously and provides 24-hour uninterrupted service, which can greatly reduce the work pressure of logistics personnel.

?Under the epidemic, these AI companies have played their respective strengths and applied their own artificial intelligence technology to various links such as epidemic situation research and judgment, precise prevention and control, and effective treatment, and launched a new version of AI robots on the basis of the original to assist the hardest-hit areas. Winning the battle against the epidemic has provided solid support. The epidemic will indeed have a certain impact on security companies in the short term, but from the process of participating in the fight against the epidemic, the emergence and development of nursing robots, diagnosis and treatment robots, etc., have allowed many artificial intelligence companies to see new opportunities and new opportunities for industrial development trend.

Thermal Imaging Temperature Measurement

?After passing through transportation hubs such as railway stations, airports, and subway stations, it is not difficult to find that there is an additional camera around the security checkpoint. This is a thermal imaging body temperature detector that incorporates artificial intelligence technology. When each pedestrian passes by, his temperature will be displayed on the display screen. If the detected temperature is normal, it can be passed without sensing. Once a suspected high-temperature pedestrian is detected, the system will automatically alarm, and the security personnel will conduct a second temperature measurement.

?The advantages of using thermal imaging for temperature measurement are non-contact, intuitive, large-area screening, and 24-hour uninterrupted, which can quickly screen out people with fever and high temperature in a large group of moving people. It is more useful in schools, subways, railway stations, airports, parks, office buildings and many other areas with high traffic and frequent access.

?The epidemic has brought pressure on companies in terms of cash flow and supply chain costs, but epidemic prevention and control has also further promoted the deep integration of infrared thermal imaging technology and artificial intelligence, and related companies have also obtained rare opportunities for practice and demonstration, which is expected to accelerate Public awareness and market popularity.

Intelligent Surveillance

?The prevention and control of the epidemic and the implementation of isolation and monitoring in key areas are the key measures to control the spread of the epidemic. The installation of surveillance cameras in key community areas and key rural areas is an effective measure for grass-roots epidemic prevention and control. The demand for monitoring equipment shows its development space to a certain extent, and monitoring security issues are still exposed in this epidemic. At present, many companies provide the government with free rental services for monitoring equipment, which further reduces government costs and expands the scope of monitoring, and also demonstrates their responsibility in epidemic prevention and control.

?Smart cameras with functions such as high-definition dead-end monitoring and video review can greatly improve the efficiency of epidemic prevention and control. Help the village and sub-branch committees to effectively carry out the work of strangers visiting, villagers' going out management, foreigners entering the village, and personnel flow review. Real-time monitoring of key areas and crowds in rural and community areas, providing two-way voice intercom and remote calling functions, providing a rapid response plan for the centralized remote monitoring of suspected areas and key isolated groups by multiple prevention and control headquarters, and protecting the safety of communities and villages , in an emergency, providing effective support for the epidemic prevention and control command work. Driven by this epidemic, video surveillance will usher in another wave of development space.

Conclusion

At present, the security industry is at the end of the network high-definition stage and the inflection point of intelligence. On the one hand, the demand of market players is sinking to the second, third and fourth tier cities, and the stock market space is still huge; The upgrade and transformation of the security system is expected to open up the incremental market in the first-tier market.

?At present, the industry competition is surging, and it has entered a period of deep-water integration. With the improvement of the technical level of the industry, the cooperation, integration and competition of enterprises in the industry will continue to intensify, and the overall industrial structure is expected to be upgraded and reshaped.
