The domestic market for high-speed ball applications is relatively single

With the emphasis on urban security surveillance and traffic monitoring, given the advantages of high-speed cameras that other cameras do not have, despite the current high speed ball market in China facing high costs and core technologies being controlled by foreign manufacturers, its growth momentum and development potential Still obvious. With the development of domestic manufacturers' technology and the decline in the cost of upstream manufacturers' components and components, the cost of high-speed ball will certainly be reduced to reach a large area of ​​popular applications.

The status quo of high-speed ball in China was earlier. The domestic high-speed ball market has been occupied by foreign brands. Pelco, Panasonic, Bosch, and the United States AD are widely used in large-scale projects. However, since 2004, domestic high-speed ball has occupied a lot of low-end market. A group of high-speed ball manufacturers with strength and certain scale have grown up. According to the statistics of the Security Industry Association, there were more than 30 domestic high-speed ball manufacturers in 2005, almost three times the past.

However, it should be pointed out that in the early years of domestic high-speed production, most of them were imported-one movements, which was not entirely domestically made. Early high-speed ball manufacturers have completed the initial production by transplanting foreign high-speed ball technology, and gradually developed from the imitation, digestion, improvement and independent research and development. Although the involvement of home-made domes led to a slight decline in the overall price of the high-speed ball market, they still remained high, especially in high-end applications. The problem of high prices, long time for ordering and after-sales maintenance was still serious.

In terms of product quality, the newly introduced domestic domes and the long-term high-end foreign brands in the high-end market are mixed, and because of the phenomenon of “inbreeding” in high-speed balls, many emerging manufacturers are independent portals for early manufacturers. Since its founding, it has formed homogenized products, and the overall lack of independent research and development and correction capabilities.

From the perspective of manufacturers, due to differences in the degree of mastery of technology and development history, domestic high-speed ball manufacturers are generally divided into three categories: first-tier, second-tier and miscellaneous brands. First-line manufacturers have a relatively large scale and generally have more than five years of experience in producing high-speed ball. They are early-stage production enterprises in the security industry. They are relatively independent in brand, channel, and R&D. The scale of enterprises is relatively mature and stable. There are only a few domestic manufacturers, and they are still being squeezed by a large number of new manufacturers. The second-tier manufacturers are those who have mastered some of the technologies, and at the same time have certain characteristics and late-coming advantages in sales. These manufacturers generally have more than three years of production experience and have strong growth. This part of the manufacturer has a certain scale and cutting-edge technology, is unique in sales, and has potential competitiveness. No-name manufacturers are referring to the temptation of the market. In the past two years, many manufacturers that originally produced other monitoring products bought high-speed ball technology solutions for assembly and secondary development. Such manufacturers often produce high-speed balls for less than three years, technically. Without being fully digested, it is competitive in the low-end market but lacks economies of scale and lags behind in technical support and after-sales maintenance.

Generally speaking, the foreign brand corps holds a considerable share in the field of high-speed ball. It is only the first-line manufacturers and some second-tier manufacturers that can threaten it. Foreign manufacturers have widened the gap with domestic manufacturers in terms of brand, quality and price, and occupied high-end high-end markets. However, their market position will gradually be challenged and their market share will gradually decline.

The rise of domestic independent research and development forces In recent years, the market for high-speed ball and all-in-one machines has grown rapidly, and the market for one of its important components has also rapidly increased. After entering the era of digital surveillance, a few domestic security companies have emerged in the development of one-piece movements after several years of technological accumulation. Driven by market demand stimuli and technological advancement, the market structure of domestic integrated machine movements is being broken down. A few Chinese security companies have independently developed a domestically produced one movement.

In view of the high technical threshold of the all-in-one movement, some people have questioned the authenticity of the domestic one movement, but the advent of domestic high-speed ball makes these suspicions unbreakable. Compared with similar products imported from foreign movements, domestic high-speed domes have an overwhelming advantage. Some only account for about 1/3 of foreign prices. Just think, if the domestic high-speed ball movement is not independent research and development, but the import or OEM, it can never be much lower than the price of foreign brands.

At the 2010 Guangdong Security Products Expo, which ended not long ago, Shenzhen Wave Grain Technology Co., Ltd. highlighted its own R&D, one movement and high-speed ball, which became a highlight of the exhibition. It is understood that the high-definition, high-definition, high-precision, high-resolution ball adopts a low-illuminance photoreceptor to generate clear images in a dark environment, which greatly improves the low-illumination status of digital cameras. The wave-particle high-speed ball has the same functions as high-speed rotation, accurate positioning, and multiple patrol routes. It adopts digital signal transmission and does not need to set the control protocol and address code. It is very conducive to engineering installation and debugging. With other products to form a modular hybrid monitoring system to make it a wider range of applications.

Industry insiders believe that the emergence of domestically produced one movements is becoming more and more mature. It is indeed a big plus for domestic businesses, especially those in engineering. The biggest change brought by the localization of one movement is that the price will be greatly reduced, and the supply will also be more stable. It also shows that Chinese security companies are on the road from “manufacturing” to “creating”. Stride.

The application of high-speed ball needs to be popularized in rationality. In recent years, with the development of the “Safe City” building, especially the rapid development of high-speed traffic, the market demand for high-speed ball has shown a strong growth. Coupled with such domestic self-developed research and development companies like Shenzhen Wave Grain, which have made significant advancements in technology in high-speed ball and integrated movement, it is bound to accelerate the widespread adoption of high-speed ball applications.

In line with the development trend of the entire video surveillance industry, high-speed ball will also develop in the direction of digital high-definition, intelligence, and networking. It will use the advantages of the dome's own flexibility to greatly improve the integration capabilities of the surveillance system and achieve efficient and high-quality video surveillance.

The high-speed ball maneuverability and the fixed bolting machine have its specific functional advantages. Currently, an important application of the high-speed ball is the monitoring of highways and city intersections. It is mainly used to monitor and record the pedestrians and vehicles on roads and intersections. Respond quickly to public security cases and other incidents that occurred, and can also track and locate special pedestrians and vehicles, as well as post-mortem investigations and evidence collection. The other prominent application of high-speed ball is in the square of the highway toll station, which is mainly to monitor and record the overall scene of the toll station square, so that the incidents in the entire toll station can be known in time and the management staff can quickly respond and be important. People and things track positioning.

Although high-speed domes have the advantage that other cameras cannot be replaced, the more high-speed balls installed in a city, the higher the level of monitoring? Many monitoring projects blindly set high-speed ball monitoring points, and did not proceed from reality, scientifically designed monitoring programs; some cities also pursued the “Thousand Ball City” and “Million Ball City” by comparison, ignoring the ultimate goal of monitoring. In addition, high-speed ball in addition to high investment costs, the maintenance work is also very difficult. The first is that the surface of the ball has a large clean surface. Secondly, because the ball has a transmission part and a sliding contact part, its failure rate and service life are not as good as those of the bolts. Once a problem arises, repair is not an easy task. If you want to ensure that the tens of thousands of speed domes in a city are operating normally, the difficulty of this post-secondary work can be imagined. Therefore, whether it is a high-speed ball manufacturer, an engineering company or a government-related department, we must maintain a rational attitude in the application of high-speed ball. Manufacturers cannot arbitrarily exaggerate the performance and functionality of products; the use of high-speed balls by project companies in the monitoring project can be neither wasteful nor blind spots for monitoring; related government departments can't even deviate from the actual purpose of monitoring.

Conclusion With the vigorous development of China's security market, the application of high-speed ball will be more and more wide, and its monitoring value will be more excavated. In the aspect of high-speed ball manufacturers, a technical battle and market battle will be inevitable between overseas Corps and rapidly rising domestic brands. Although foreign brands have considerable influence in China's high-speed ball market, they also suffer from weaknesses in long periods of ordering and after-sales maintenance, poor system compatibility, and high prices. If there are more and more enterprises in the country that dare to innovate in technology and have the courage to study independently, in the near future, fully domestically produced high-speed balls will surpass foreign brands in terms of product quality, functionality, stability, etc., and enter the international market. .
