Also called as the intelligent cameras, smart cameras are just a machine vision intelligent system, with built – in image sensors. The smart cameras, along with their image capturing ability, is also capable of extracting application – specific information from the captured images, and making decisions, which could be used in an intelligent and automated system.
Therefore, a smart camera is used to track everything in the premises, and use the network connection to transmit the captured video to any smart device or cloud storage, as per the set up. The captured video can be viewed by the user on the smart device using a specified application.
The global smart market is basically driven by the increase in the security concerns, which raises the demand for video surveillance devices in households and various industries.
Also, the rising demand for the automation systems in many industries and sectors is one of the factors helping the market to grow. The increasing technology in the cameras is further supporting for the growth of the market.
The world was hit by a sudden virus which spread across the globe in no time. This spread of an unusual tiny virus, stopped everything; the governments across the globe instituted lockdowns and travel restrictions in order to control the spread of the disease.
The sudden lock downs across the globe, gave rise to huge unemployment, which definitely gave rise to robberies, murders, various other threats to life. Therefore, the smart camera market would see a rise in demand post COVID, owing to people’s concern towards safety of their homes.

Based on the type, the smart camera market is divided into single – chip smart camera, stand – alone smart camera, PC & network based smart camera, and embedded systems smart camera.
Based on the components type, the smart camera market is classified into image sensors, used to detect and convey information for making an image; display, lens, and processors, which are the logical units used to respond to and process the basic instructions driving a device.
On the basis of technology, the smart camera market is classified into two broad categories, the sensor technology and the scanning technology. The sensor technology is nothing but a technology that uses sensors for getting information, just by detecting the properties and converting information into readable signals. The sensor technology is further classified into CCD sensor (Charge – Coupled device), consisting of multiple arrays of light sensitive semiconductor elements; and the CMOS sensor, which is an electronic chip that converts photons to electrons for digital processing,
The scanning technology is further divided into Line Scan and the Area Scan.
Based on the connectivity, the market is classified into wired HART (Highway Addressable Remote Transducer), which is an open standard and is used to send and receive digital information using analog wires between the smart devices and control systems; Bluetooth, which is a wireless technology standard used for exchanging data between devices over a short distance with the help of radio waves; wi –fi, which is a wireless technology used to connect various devices over the internet.
By application, the smart camera market is classified into consumer electronics, video surveillance, industrial, automobile, transportation, and medical sectors. Out of which, the video surveillance application is expected to hold a significant share of the market owing to rising safety concerns at all the levels of household, industrial, corporate, industrial, and even the government offices.
Geographically, the image recognition market is studied across the countries of key regions such as, North America, Europe, Asia Pacific and rest of the world regions which includes Latin America, and Middle East &Africa.
The Asia Pacific region is expected to dominate the market, owing to the higher acceptance of smart cameras by the military & defence sector over there. Also, growing electronics and the semiconductor industries in the region is another factor responsible for the growth of the region.
Some of the major players operating in this market include Samsung Electronics (South Korea), Sony Corporation (Japan), Bosch Security Systems (Germany), Canon Inc. (Japan), Nikon Corporation (Japan), FLIR Systems Inc. (US), Panasonic Corporation (Japan), Raptor Photonics Ltd. (UK), Olympus Corporation (Japan), Polaroid Corporation (US), Watec Cameras Inc. (Japan), IntelliVision (US), VIVOTEK Inc. (Taiwan), Axis Communications AB (Sweden), among many others.
