The market value of connected video cameras in North America and Europe reached € 12.3 billion in 2019
Connected video cameras can be useful in a wide range of applications from surveillance and business optimization to recreational activities. This report focuses primarily on connected video cameras used for surveillance, security and safety applications for consumers and businesses. These types of video cameras help protect people and property such as homes, commercial buildings and industrial sites. The recorded video material can also be used for accountability and as evidence in the criminal justice system or to settle insurance claims.
