Report in a Nutshell

There have been numerous wireless and solar powered video surveillance solutions in the market over the last few years. The Really Wireless™ platform changes the equation for wireless video surveillance for a variety of reasons. This research document evaluates the systems and its practical application, as well as the opportunities for self-sufficient wireless video surveillance via WiMAX.

Key Findings

It is now possible to deploy "really wireless" remote video surveillance solutions at remote sites (construction projects, borders), where the power grid and telephone networks may not exist. New IP video surveillance cameras, using H.264 technology, provide high resolution imagery using one-fourth of the bandwidth of conventional cameras. WiMAX provides an ideal wireless backhaul solution for those cameras given its qualities for security, quality of service (QoS), reliability, range and throughput. Solar power stations are inexpensive and easy to deploy, and provide reliable power to both the security camera and the WiMAX subscriber device. Video surveillance over WiMAX services in US markets could be a $3.6 billion market by the year 2014.

Target Audience

• WiMAX vendors: This will prove to be a very lucrative niche market for those willing to focus on it and adjust their sales and marketing strategy accordingly.
• Video encoding equipment vendors, including vendors of IP video surveillance products. 
• Federal, military, state and local governments (police and firefighters).
• Security service providers.
• Network devices vendors: WiMAX deployments to service a $3.6 billion market will drive demand for a wide range of network devices.
• Insurance industry: How many billions of dollars in claims can be avoided via video surveillance via WiMAX?
