預計到2032年,全球Video as a Sensor市場規模將達到 1,317.3億美元,預測期內年複合成長率為 8.1%。
主要亮點:
在過去的一個世紀裡,使用Video as a Sensor的概念發生了巨大的變化,從基本的監控系統發展到智慧感測解決方案。早期的CCTV系統主要用於被動監控,可以追溯到1927年,當時人們使用機械監控設備來監控敏感區域。
到20 世紀中葉,Vericon 系統等商業解決方案使民用有線監控成為可能,但真正的轉變伴隨著網路視訊系統的出現而來,具體來說是 Axis Communications 於 1996年推出的第一台 IP 攝影機。這項創新具有突破性,因為它引進了透過網路通訊協定傳輸視訊的概念,實現了遠端存取、高解析度和擴充性。
隨著時間的推移,這些系統變得越來越複雜,逐漸轉向嵌入式Linux、攝影機內處理,並最終實現邊緣分析。2008年,安訊士、Bosch和Sony成立了ONVIF聯盟,透過促進互通性和介面標準化,進一步加速了技術創新。同時,世界各國政府開始考慮將人工智慧融入影像系統。
美國運輸部和能源部的專案已投資於即時影像分析,用於交通監控、公共和基礎設施安全。這些努力促成了芝加哥「虛擬盾牌行動」和紐約「域感知系統」等覆蓋全市的網路的建立,這些網路將數千個攝影機和資料饋送互連,以提供預測性警務和緊急應變能力。
同時,NVIDIA 等 OEM 廠商推出了 Jetson AI 平台,將攝影機轉變為智慧邊緣設備,無需持續存取雲端即可進行物體識別和異常檢測。因此,視訊系統開始充當主動感測器,檢測運動、識別物體、分析行為並將資料傳輸到更廣泛的物聯網(IoT)生態系統。

Key Highlights:
The concept of using video as a sensor has evolved significantly over the past century, starting from basic surveillance systems and transforming into intelligent sensing solutions. Early CCTV systems were primarily used for passive observation, with origins dating back to 1927 when mechanical surveillance was used to monitor sensitive areas.
By the mid-20th century, commercial solutions like the Vericon system enabled wired monitoring in civilian settings. However, the true shift occurred with the advent of networked video systems, particularly following Axis Communications' introduction of the first IP camera in 1996. This innovation marked a pivotal moment, as it introduced the idea of transmitting video over internet protocols, allowing for remote access, better resolution, and scalability.
Over time, these systems became more sophisticated, incorporating embedded Linux, enabling in-camera processing, and eventually facilitating edge analytics. The formation of the ONVIF consortium by Axis, Bosch, and Sony in 2008 further accelerated progress by promoting interoperability and standardized interfaces. Simultaneously, governments began exploring the integration of AI into video systems.
U.S. Department of Transportation and Department of Energy programs invested in real-time video analysis for applications like traffic monitoring, public safety, and infrastructure security. These efforts gave rise to city-wide networks such as Chicago's Operation Virtual Shield and New York's Domain Awareness System, which interconnected thousands of cameras and data feeds to provide predictive policing and emergency response capabilities.
Concurrently, OEMs such as NVIDIA launched the Jetson AI platform, transforming cameras into intelligent edge devices capable of object recognition and anomaly detection without requiring constant cloud access. As a result, video systems began to function as active sensors, detecting motion, identifying objects, analyzing behaviors, and feeding data into broader Internet of Things (IoT) ecosystems.
The major strategies followed by the market participants are Product Launches as the key developmental strategy to keep pace with the changing demands of end users. For instance, In June, 2025, Honeywell International Inc. unveiled a new line of CCTV cameras manufactured in India, incorporating AI-driven analytics for enhanced surveillance. These cameras are designed to deliver high-resolution video feeds, enabling real-time monitoring and intelligent data analysis. This initiative supports the growing demand for advanced video surveillance solutions in India. Moreover, In May, 2025, Axis Communications AB unveiled a new D6210 Air Quality Sensor that integrates with existing IP-based surveillance infrastructure using portcast technology. It overlays air quality data onto live video streams, enabling real-time detection of environmental issues like vaping or smoking. This fusion of environmental sensing with video analytics exemplifies the VaaS market's evolution.
