Analysis of the status quo of China's security software market

This article comes from the Chinese security industry network observation of the development of security monitoring and alarm system: from the past simple closed-circuit television monitoring to the city's large-area network monitoring and alarm system, is based on continuous innovation of technology and telecommunications, IT and many other new manufacturers to enter and The transfer of information technology elements across industries is an important factor in the rapid development of the security industry. It is not due to the expansion of existing enterprises. Under the impetus of cross-industry transfer of information technology elements and the strong demand for safe city construction, we will focus on the large-scale monitoring and alarm system network in cities. One prerequisite for these system interconnections is to rely on security system integrators to be distributed in all walks of life in cities. The security system is connected to a platform, and the key product that connects this platform, software, becomes one of the most important products in the security industry in the future.

Thirty years of reform and opening up have been the development of China's security industry for 30 years, and it is also the 30 years of the development of security monitoring and alarm system software applications. In the past three decades, China's security application software has grown from small to large, and it has now become the basic leading product of security systems. However, China's security software has always been an inseparable complex in the hearts of security guards. Both system integrators and industry users have high hopes for security monitoring and alarm system software. However, as a whole, the domestic software industry is growing at a rapid rate, but the average security industry is still relatively low.

With the transition of security monitoring and alarm systems from analog to digital networks, from simple single-circuit television monitoring to large-scale urban networked systems, integration of security systems is an irresistible trend and has led to a tremendous increase in the production and application capabilities of security software. Greatly promoted the interaction of security engineering and product and promoted the innovation of software technology products, formed a product integration from monitoring alarm management system, operating system, back-end database, middleware, building automation system, communication network system, office, fire automation system, etc. Software platform. These monitoring and alarm systems are based on the full use of existing information technology and applications of various departments. Through the construction of urban monitoring and alarm information systems, the city's dynamic security prevention and control capabilities are strengthened, and social information collection, processing, and deep processing are strengthened. Decision-making services fundamentally promote the stability and improvement of the social security situation and provide support means for modern information technology.

First, the security software target market began to say that security software has to start from the Chinese software industry, Chinese software from the initial enlightenment to the initial prosperity, is the tenth year after the reform and opening up that is 1988, and the most representative The city is Shenzhen. In 1988, Jinshan Software founder Qiu Bojun came to Shenzhen to research and develop China's first word processing software, WPS, and the history of Chinese software began. Since then, China's software industry has blossomed, and it has welcomed the era of software that is proud of. The development of security software is also developed step by step with the development of security monitoring and alarm networking market.

This article comes from the rapid growth of security software that is characterized by financial and traffic monitoring upgrades in China's security industry network. Since the beginning of the 1990s, with the start of financial and traffic monitoring systems, the software has entered the security industry. It is simply based on user needs to do some simple processing programming. The monitoring industry's demand for monitoring alarm products at that time brought a small golden period in the development of China's security industry. Until now, most enterprises with a certain size started from then on. At the same time, due to the need for system networking and management, some simple common platform software enters the security market. Such security software is only an accessory product donated by product vendors and engineering companies and does not generate the value of such software. At the beginning of the new century, the continuous expansion of the application scope and scale of the city's monitoring alarm system and remote monitoring system was different from the software's preliminary processing and programming. A brand-new bundled monitoring and alarm solution provider came into being. After consulting with the users on previous communications and user requirements, these solution providers provide customers with a solution that explains what the business is supposed to do, and then proceed with programming from the whole to the part, called the security system solution provider. At present, there are three kinds of security solution providers in China: First, IT integrated solution providers. Such enterprises mainly provide users with integrated solutions that include enterprises, industries, a region, or even a city. They used to have rich experience in the IT industry. They added security subsystems based on information systems to form a security protection system. In-house comprehensive information system. Such as Digital China, Huawei, ZTE, H3C, etc.; second is the security system industry solution provider. Such companies have long cultivated in the security market, understand the needs of industry users, and developed corresponding monitoring and alarm solutions for users in different fields. Some companies even developed hundreds of different industry solutions, which are more targeted, personalized and practical. Sex. Such as the world Albert; third is security engineering business. Regardless of the type of supplier, it is necessary to provide the user with a basic management platform for monitoring and alarming systems and application software for different industries. These software, the so-called solutions, are no longer free lunches and will have good economic benefits.

Safe city construction accelerates the growth of the security software market. From the current target market, the construction of safe cities, financial and telecommunication monitoring, traffic monitoring, coal mine safety, hospitals, schools, government agencies, corporate production, office buildings, community streets, etc., are all huge markets for security management and application software. Among the domestic security management software vendors, there are a group of innovators who dare to be pioneers, and they have begun to shift from product-oriented to industry-oriented research and development and promotion. Due to the diversity and diversity of industrial applications of security systems, the business characteristics and information infrastructure of different industries are quite different, such as urban social security monitoring systems, court trial monitoring systems, school invigilation systems, environmental monitoring systems, and so on. The requirements are not the same. Therefore, it is necessary to centralize the use of the industry's core process system and the flexible configuration system that the customized software has. Industry analysts believe that security software's ease of use, scalability, and other standards are becoming more and more demanding, and the software industry's industry experience and demand model requirements are becoming stricter.

The above phenomenon shows that China's security software is playing an important role, and such characteristics are not short-term and have medium- and long-term significance. Due to the development of networking, security software has dominated the development of the security industry. The user's demand is no longer a simple monitoring system. Instead, it integrates work management, property management, access control, and monitoring and alarming systems into one platform. This networking of consumption upgrades and city monitoring and alarm systems greatly promotes the rapid growth of our security software.
According to industry estimates, the annual domestic security software market capacity reaches 10 billion yuan.

This article comes from China's security industry network, security software market, internal and external problems Despite China's security software market has made considerable progress, but in the field of basic software, China's software companies is still difficult to effectively compete with the international giants in the security industry In the area of ​​management application software, local software companies still have plenty of room. According to Dai Lin, general manager of Tiandi Weiye, China's security industry has entered a period of steady development from a rapid growth stage. The field of industrial application market is constantly expanding, and integration of security systems is a general trend, and software will be the core of the security system. It has strong permeability and can greatly promote technological innovation. To survive and develop in a changing market, companies must grasp the most critical market elements and change with their needs.

At present, there are difficulties in the security software market where piracy, giving, and development are relatively difficult, but the market is still in a prosperous period. Mainly these basic management software and application software in different industries are different, do not understand the security industry can not be targeted to develop a suitable software product. Through comprehensive analysis of the security market, we can come to such a basic judgment: the security industry begins to enter a stage of development that adapts to the needs of users' consumption structure upgrades, and gradually increases the technological content and added value. Therefore, security software will develop toward the industry-leading product trend.
The first is that pirated software has become a barrier to the healthy development of security software. For product-oriented security companies, hundreds of dollars or even hundreds of billions of genuine software is worth more than the one-hundred-plus yuan of products. Therefore, we are more willing to choose a few dollars of pirated software. The proliferation of piracy has severely hampered the development of security software. Similarly, some software companies have been forced to close down or transition without being able to obtain a reasonable profit. This vicious circle has crippled the company's sense of innovation and has seriously undermined the enthusiasm of security software developers. The person in the industry pointed out sharply: The integration of security systems indicates a road for security software industry, but piracy kills the space they survive. Product innovation, software is the soul. Normally, nearly half of the value of security system integration projects comes from software, and now it is difficult for such a market to form a good software environment.

Followed by foreign software giants in the Chinese market staking. In the face of a huge market for the construction of a safe city, foreign software giants have also extended their reach to the domestic market. Microsoft and other international software companies join hands with domestic companies, such as Microsoft and Guangzhou Jinpeng, to establish a joint venture company to establish a safe city construction market; H3C, using its own advantages, began to enter the peacebuilding market in 2007, and has won in just two years. More than 100 safe city construction projects. The budding Chinese security software company is not an adversary. It is understood that there are only a few software technology developers in domestic security companies with more than 30 employees. With the increasing rampant piracy and the invasion of foreign software giants, it has become a focus of attention for security software to make use of domestic software to hide its shadow and seek opportunities for growth.

This article comes from China's security industry network Third, the market is vast but the product is not mature security software only take the road of software and product innovation, can firmly grasp the direction of market development. Security software is the core of security IT, is the soul of large-scale urban security monitoring and alarm system networking, has a strong permeability, can greatly promote the transformation of the traditional monitoring and alarm system, promote technological innovation, bring the market to monitor Revolutionary changes.
Experts in the industry point out that they just blindly copy foreign products and do not have the utmost to study the needs of customers, but they are mired in homogeneity. This is the current reality of China's security software.

Safe city construction is a big market security software is a small role. Since 2004, the construction of safe cities throughout the country has promoted the tremendous development of the security industry and has also led to the widespread use of security software. On the one hand, there is a large group of security software users in the Chinese market. On the other hand, long-term software piracy has caused China's security software companies to remain pessimistic. At present, there are few professional security software development companies. Most companies simply use pirated software to embed their own products and give them to users. It not only brings unsafe factors to the security system, but also can't fully innovate from the technology, which greatly hinders the sustainable development of the security software market.

The root cause is that there are few application software products in the security industry. There are no specialized software companies developing suitable products for hundreds of application fields in the security industry. Even if there are only some simple applications on other system software platforms, there is no real difference in security software products, homogeneity is serious. This brings about vicious competition in the market. According to statistics from relevant departments of the Ministry of Public Security, the country has now successfully built one million city surveillance alarm systems. Although it has not yet reached the level of popularity, it is already quite a large number. Moreover, the number of urban surveillance and alarm systems is increasing at a rapid rate of 25% per year. It has already involved the monitoring of urban social security to the safety of family life. All aspects. It can be said that the huge potential of the market is endless, but this does not seem to bring the nutrients they need to China's security software industry.

As domestic security manufacturing companies mainly sell products, and engineering companies aim to earn a little bit of labor costs, the development of security system application software has not caused widespread concern in the industry, which will bring endless trouble to the security industry. On October 20, 2008, Microsoft cracked down on pirated Windows XP in China, and for the first time verified the pirated Office. If it is a pirated software, it will often encounter a black screen. The pirated user's computer interface appears with a black background every 60 minutes, but does not affect other functions. The user can manually recall it. Now Microsoft's black screen seems to be just a warning. If Microsoft starts to make some embarrassment and let all pirated operating systems completely collapse and cannot be restored, what will be the consequences? Therefore, the author believes that security software will be the soul product that guides the integration of security systems, and it will force us to resolutely resolve to develop our own security system software.

This article comes from the new technology of China's security industry network to bring security to the security software industry. At the beginning of this year, the issuance of 3G licenses undoubtedly brought joy to security monitoring companies in the 3G industry chain. Mobile phone security monitoring has become a bright spot for business development. With the encouragement of this promising prospect, security monitoring software is waiting for a Like new students, they are taking advantage of the hopes and prospects of the security industry in the 3G era. Similarly, in the past 2008, some new concepts were heated up, such as. SaaS (software as a service), PaaS (platform as a service), cloud computing, and other terms have come together. Almost all software companies are transitioning to SaaS, and IT service providers are all ready to switch to cloud computing. All investment software VCs are considering SaaS and cloud computing. Although there are differences between these concepts, they all have one thing in common, that is, they are based on Web services.

Whether it is SaaS, PaaS or cloud computing, it is undeniable that they will show their skills in the construction of safe cities. In particular, thousands of tens of thousands or even tens of thousands of monitoring alarm nodes in the city are networked. The volume of video and audio data is large and the operation is complex. Professional software companies are required to provide solutions. It can be foreseen that this will be a very important market for the security industry other than hardware products. Because the city monitoring and alarming networking market has developed to today, it is no longer just a matter of security hardware product development. It often involves all business solutions across all industries and even across industries.

Especially in the 21st century, the Internet has brought the world within reach, and online monitoring has become a trend. Security system software, management software, programming software, office software, security software came into being. The rise of online monitoring and security system integration has brought new development opportunities to traditional security software. Observe the development of security monitoring and alarm systems: From simple CCTV monitoring in the past to urban large-area networked monitoring and alarm systems, based on constant innovation in technology and the entry of many new manufacturers such as telecommunications and IT, and the cross-industry transfer of information technology elements. The important factor in the rapid development of the security industry is not due to the expansion of existing enterprises. Driven by the cross-industry transfer of information technology elements and the huge demand for safe city construction, we will focus on the large-scale monitoring and alarm system network in the city. A precondition of these system interconnections depends on the security system integrators to be distributed in all walks of life in cities. The security system is connected to a platform, and the key product that connects this platform, software, becomes one of the most important products in the security industry in the future.
