Point Roberts, WA - November 29, 2018 (Investorideas.com Newswire) Investorideas.com, a leading investor news resource covering security stocks releases a sector snapshot of the growing global video surveillance market, how companies in the sector are capitalizing on it and how smarter technology plays into the growth.
According to a report just released, "the Global Video Surveillance market accounted for $30.01 billion in 2017 and is expected to reach $105.99 billion by 2026 growing at a CAGR of 15% during the forecast period."
Continued: "Some of the important factors driving the market growth include rising demand for DIY and Spy Cameras, recent events of crimes and terrorist attacks and growing implementation of IP Cameras. One of the major opportunities is the Ongoing Technological Advancements in Big Data, Video Analytics, IoT, and Cloud-Based Services."
Video and security technology company, DirectView Holdings, Inc. (OTC: DIRV) is hoping to tap into the growth of the sector through an acquisition plan, while simultaneously building out revenue with existing clients and contracts. The Company just announced yesterday they have signed a Buyer's Agreement Contract with Murphy Business Sales, a business brokerage firm specializing in mergers and acquisitions, to locate and acquire profitable companies in the surveillance and security industry.
From the news: "According to the agreement, the targeted business must generate annual sales ranging between $1,500,000.00 to $10,000,000.00, must be located in the United States and must fall in either of the following categories; CCTV integrators, CCTV Websites, Alarm Companies, Monitoring Companies, Low Voltage Cabling Companies and WiFi companies."
This follows up on news last week that the Company achieved record sales and gross profits for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, reporting 22% sales growth to a record $3.3 million, a 20% growth in product sales to a record $2.7 million and a 32% growth in services sales to a record $0.6 million.
Looking at the biggest companies in the sector as a model for growth, market competition by top manufacturers based on production, revenue and market size, include: Hangzhou Hikvision, Honeywell, Axis Communications, Zhejiang Dahua Technology, FLIR Systems, Avigilon Corporation, Hanwha Techwin, Infinova Corporation, Nice Systems, Panasonic, Pelco By Schneider Electric, Start-Up Ecosystem, IP Video Mobile Technologies, Camcloud Inc., Solink Corporation and Camiolog, Inc., according to LPInformation.biz.
FLIR Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ:FLIR) announced financial results for the third quarter on October 30th saying, "Overall, I was pleased with the third quarter performance," said Jim Cannon, FLIR President and Chief Executive Officer. "We delivered strong performance reaching our highest quarterly gross margin, operating margin, and operating cash flow in over five years. We also continued organic revenue growth despite challenging year-over-year comparables."
FLIR is betting on technology advancement for its future and recently announced the launch of FLIR TruWITNESS®, an industry-first wearable sensor platform designed for city-level security and public safety operations. TruWITNESS combines video, audio, location data, Internet of Things (IoT) capabilities, and cloud and management software in one solution, allowing organizations to reach a new level of situational awareness. In mid- October they also reported the industry’s first deep learning inference-enabled machine vision camera, the FLIR Firefly.
DirectView Holdings, Inc. (OTC: DIRV) CEO Ralston also sees AI and deep learning as part of the future, telling Investor Ideas in a previous podcast interview, "The surveillance industry is continually evolving. We are now offering artificial intelligence."
Talking about smarter security and surveillance as a key to growth, Honeywell International Inc. (NYSE: HONsaid "As buildings become smarter, driven by trends like the Internet of Things and our increasingly connected world, security operations must follow suit. This can be a tall order, however, when you consider the scope and size of today’s connected organizations - and the number of cameras and other endpoints personnel must manage," said John Rajchert, President, Honeywell Building Solutions. "DVM R620 serves as a conduit for improved operator productivity and risk mitigation, leveraging connectivity for smarter surveillance that can more easily grow and expand as needs change and evolve."
Panasonic Corporation’s (PCRFY) Panasonic System Solutions Company of North America, Security Group, introduced its FacePRO deep learning facial recognition system, using extreme sensing and enhanced detection technology to identify persons of interest and alert authorities of their presence in real-time, at the Global Security Exchange (GSX) 2018 Expo in Las Vegas in September.
For investors following the sector key trends to look for include companies incorporating and integrating smarter technology, enhancing their current product portfolios.

Patriot One (TSX.V: $PAT.V) (OTCQX: $PTOTF) @patriot1tech to Acquire Video #ThreatRecognition Software

Company extends PATSCAN AI Technology to Incorporate Video Solution

Patriot One's (TSX.V: $PAT.V) (OTCQB: $PTOTF) on Investorideas.com


TORONTO - November 27, 2018 (Investorideas.com Newswire) Defense stock news alert - Patriot One Technologies Inc., (TSX.V: PAT) (OTCQB: PTOTF) (FRANKFURT: 0PL) ("Patriot One" or the "Company"), developer of the award-winning PATSCAN™ covert weapon detection system, is pleased to announce the execution of a definitive acquisition agreement with EhEye Inc. ("EhEye") of New Brunswick, Canada (the "Transaction").
Identified earlier this year as a prime candidate for integration into the PATSCAN product line-up, EhEye's video threat recognition software recently met with overwhelming security reseller and end-client interest during a number of recent invitation-only industry events held at Patriot One's development center in Las Vegas.
The terms of the Transaction provide for the acquisition of a 100% equity interest in EhEye by Patriot One in consideration of the issuance of 1,636,363 common shares of Patriot One to the existing shareholders of EhEye. Patriot also proposes to grant up to 277,775 replacement incentive stock options to employee, director and officer option holders of EhEye in consideration of the cancellation of those outstanding EhEye options.
"We are extremely excited to join the Patriot One team. Their mission to become the foremost proponent and provider of innovative threat detection and counter-terrorism solutions and services for general public safety fully aligns with our own mission," stated James Stewart, EhEye's CEO and President. "Further to that end, we expect their advancements in machine learning for weapon recognition through their proprietary PATSCAN software, as well as their key strategic partnerships, to propel our video recognition solution's commercialization. This will ensure significantly enhanced detection capability whenever weapons are handled inside or outside of facilities like event venues, schools or virtually any public building."
This truly unique system automates the detection of weapons, disturbances and suspicious behaviours through existing camera infrastructure. Using computer vision techniques coupled with machine learning for artifact recognition, the solution employs deep learning architecture to alert security teams to anomalies that a standard video system cannot identify.
EhEye is in the process of piloting the solution with an international airport and a correctional facility through the Build in Canada Innovation Program. In addition, the developers also received the support of the National Research Council of Canada. In 2017, they received three (3) awards - two (2) KIRA awards for Most Innovative Startup and Most Innovative Technology and one (1) of StartupFest's Choice Awards.

"We are very pleased to welcome the EhEye team into the Patriot One family. Their award-winning threat recognition software will integrate into our client's existing video camera networks offering a first line of defense to detect active shooters or terrorists approaching a venue with weapons drawn," explained Martin Cronin, CEO and President of Patriot One. "It will also offer an additional layer of detection inside buildings to track threats and even identify irregular disturbances or physical altercations between individuals."
This novel video recognition software joins Patriot One's family of threat detection solutions under the brand name PATSCAN VRS, denoting video recognition sensors for threat detection. Sales of the PATSCAN VRS solution will be based on a SaaS pricing model on a per camera-use basis per location. The solution is currently in late stage pilot testing, as the platform is an AI based system designed to improve weapon detection, disturbance recognition and ongoing accuracy once deployed. It will continually learn through shared network updates as part of its monthly recurring subscription service, similar to the revenue model for the Company's flagship PATSCAN CRM covert weapon detection solution.
Additional technology candidates for potential inclusion into the PATSCAN product line-up are currently undergoing technical assessment, focus group and marketing evaluation. Subject to the conclusion of a rigorous period of due diligence, Patriot One aims to extend its brand offering through the inclusion of select technology partner agreements.
In October, Cisco Systems invited Patriot One, as one of its innovation partners, to showcase to its largest clients and partners our PATSCAN family of threat detection solutions, including PATSCAN VRS, during their annual Cisco Connect event at the Toronto Congress Centre. Further to this end, Patriot One expects to begin commercial deployment of the PATSCAN VRS solution to select customer sites followed by distribution to its security system integrator network in Q1 of 2019.
The Transaction is subject to a number of standard closing conditions, including any required approvals of the TSX Venture Exchange.
Martin Cronin, CEO
