IoT will change
the security market
2
014 has been a
very exciting year
for the global security market. The consolida-
tion of the industry has continued through a
number of interesting acquisitions. Canon's ac-
quisition of Milestone Systems was of course the
most surprising deal on the market. Vanderbilt's
purchase of Siemens Security Products was also
unexpected.
In Scandinavia there have been several
remarkable acquisitions in recent years. The
Norwegian companies Nokas and Sector Alarm
made the most high profile acquisitions in 2014.
Nokas had already acquired the Norwegian G4S
business in 2013 and continued this year to ac-
quire Svensk Bevakningstjänst, the third biggest
guarding company in Sweden. This happened
just a month after Sector Alarm had acquired
the G4S business in Sweden, the most surpris-
ing acquisition of the year in the Scandinavian
market. Sector Alarm is an extremely profitable
company specialised in residential security, now
they are getting into the commercial security
market in order to broaden their market and
their service portfolio.
Another remarkable thing was IFSEC's
successful return to London after 21 years at
the NEC in Birmingham, even though Security
Essen in Germany must be considered as the
international security event of the year in 2014.
Another exhibition that brought a great deal of
attention was ISC West in Las Vegas, now fully
recovered after some difficult years in the after-
math of the financial crisis some years ago.
So what about the trends for the years to
come? Of course there are several market trends
developing, but the most compelling is that of
the path towards integration and interoperability
between different security systems, but security
technology integration will also contribute
towards the development of advanced smart
buildings, or in residential applications, to the
growing market for smart homes.
In this issue of Detektor International we
present the recipients of the Detektor Interna-
tional Awards 2014. Significant for this year
is that two world leading companies within
IP-video were awarded for their products within
the access control field, both contributing to
the market through solutions that encourage a
route away from the proprietary tradition within
the access control market, through launching
a module for integration to an open IP-video
management system platform (Milestone Sys-
tems) or by launching the first open IP-platform
based door controller (Axis Communications).
It is certainly a sign of the times.
The security industry is very conservative
and even necessary changes tend to take a long
time. Just look at the migration from analogue
to digital video. It has been going on since the
turn of the millennium and it is still going on,
even though now it is now slowly taking over
the video surveillance market. The digital era
offers many opportunities for the end users
and also for the supply chain. Cost effective
Security as a Service (SaaS) is about to become
a reality, as a result of today's scalable security
technology. Through the cloud, resources can
be shared and security customers may not have
to invest in expensive infrastructure that al-
locates staff resources. Instead they can pay for
functions they need and use through a monthly
flat rate fee. This will happen, first of all, in the
SME market.
However, the general buzzword in the secu-
rity industry will be IoT ­ Internet of Things
­ obviously a strong driver for SaaS. According
to a report by Memoori the Global Market for
the Internet of Things (IoT) in Smart Buildings
will rise from $23Bn in 2014 to over $85Bn
by 2020. For sure it will have an effect on the
security market, primarily on the residential
security market. Today's dedicated security
systems in private homes, with sensors/detectors
and possibly cameras connected to a control
panel will have tough competition. Security will
soon become a part of the network based smart
home automation installations. People will add
functions to their home automation system and
security features will be among them. Eventu-
ally, this trend will also be adopted by smaller
business.
Finally ­ on the subject of trends ­ consoli-
dation, driven by acquisition, will of course
continue through 2015.
