Cameras Are Watching Us, While We Watch Their “Childhood”: Why Video Surveillance is Stuck in the 2000s
You know, our world is a veritable paradise for surveillance cameras. They’re everywhere: on the streets, in stores, in building entrances, and even in our homes. We’ve essentially plastered ourselves with these “eyes,” seemingly for security. But if you take a closer look at this “digital zoo,” it gets a little… sad.
It turns out that many cameras run software that feels like it’s from the 2000s! Seriously, they have vulnerabilities like holes in an old sock, and that’s not even the worst of it. Sometimes, it seems like the firmware has built-in “snitches” that leak data to the manufacturer. And if that wasn’t enough, we often see requirements to use outdated ActiveX or Internet Explorer. Then there’s the “love” some manufacturers have for tying everything to their brand. For instance, you can usually only connect Dahua cameras to a Dahua video recorder. You want to ask, “Guys, are you stuck in the last century?”
Others, for example, disable video transmission over the RTSP protocol, or use their own “special” version of ONVIF.
Cloud Analytics: Everyone Talks About It, But No One Understands It
It seems that every year at trade shows, we’re promised that cloud video analytics is the next evolution of security systems. And that soon all smart cities and countries will start living in a new way. But honestly, after all the pompous speeches, success stories, and tales of the “coolness” of new solutions, there’s little of real benefit left.
Pretty much everyone has heard about video analytics. Customers, having listened to all this “magic,” come to vendors with inflated expectations, after watching commercials on the internet. And this is where it gets interesting.
Often, customer representatives have already “fallen into the clutches” of a camera manufacturer who proudly writes about “analytic features” on the camera in the specifications, creating the illusion of “everything at once, for free.”
As a result, this analytics turns out to be “rigidly tied” to a specific video recorder and, as a rule, works “as is,” that is, very poorly. And then you begin to understand how dangerous it is to become dependent on a single supplier, it’s like putting all your eggs in one basket.

Sanyo compatible software
Independent Software - Our Savior
This is where solutions like SmartVision come to the rescue. This software can take RTSP video streams from any equipment, no matter what kind of “zoo” of different manufacturers you have.
It all works in a single window, in a modern application, both on your phone and on your computer.
At the same time, operators at security posts will continue to sit staring at their monitors, as before. Nothing will change for them. But for shopping and business centers built in previous decades, this is a breath of fresh air.
So, let’s not allow our video surveillance to get stuck in the past. Let’s be smarter, choosing solutions that work, rather than promising the moon. And maybe, someday, cameras will stop being “time machines” and will actually start helping us.
