With the network development and involvement of telecom operators, video surveillance are gaining more and more attentions in the civilian market applications, and the advent of 3G wireless monitoring brings the market more imagination. There is no doubt that the civilian market will be the most potential video monitoring market in growth.
    The so-called civil markets, are mainly in shops, families and individuals.
    Shops and family are similar, basically, It will not monitor when someone is there, and monitor when it is not, the main purposes are against fire and theft. Families may also use for remote looking after, etc. Its business mainly is to allow users to have timely access to event information and help users to achieve accessing at anytime and on anywhere. Therefore, the basic business model of shops and families monitoring is the IP camera +all kinds of alarm and detector devices + platform access, Basing on this mode, it achieves the following business processes: armed when users leaves, trigger the alarm when the unexpected occurs, the alarm information was sent to users in the form of SMS in time, and start the alarm at the same time and link IP camera to preset rotation, snap pictures, start the video and so on, after receiving text message, users log in PC or cell phone and real-time view the live video, when confirmed, to take measures, then user came back to disarm.
    For individuals, the situation is relatively complex, with wide range of applications, including for safety protection, coordination office and entertainment. Accordingly, the business focuses are more on upload and view videos at anytime and anywhere. To achieve uploading video all the time, the front-end will no longer be confined to its traditional IP camera: In the office, you can timely upload video and PC images through PC + USB camera to achieve collaborative applications; In outdoors, you can upload real-time videos by smart phone with camera in video site or twitter for entertainment sharing; In emergency scene, it can use handheld terminal or smartphone to timely upload video, provides intuitive and effective basis for emergency command. To view videos at anytime and anywhere, the clients are no longer confined to the previous PC, can be a smart phone, handset, even a iPod that can be access to 3G net.
    It can be seen, the civilian-oriented surveillance should first solve technical issues to ensure the monitoring point and viewing point existing everywhere: First, control points are everywhere, deployment location can be mobiled or fixed, the encoding device can be IP cameras, PC, smartphone and other types of multimedia terminals, the transmission can be based on wired, 3G, WiFi and other networks; Second, viewing points are without limitation, whether at home, office, business trip or travel, through a PC, smartphone or other multimedia, can access to warning information at anytime and anywhere, and free to browse real-time video or playback video at any time.
    The next thing is to solve the problem in operational level, who will operate, how to operate: the telecommunication operator is most suitable with strong infrastructure network, customer base and mature operational experience; security operators are the best candidate operators with professional, flexible, fast advantages; those most unreliable but still have infinite possibilities are the new network operators, anywhere, bizarre, or entertainment, or horror personal or family video sharing are the basises why these operators involved in.
    There are user-level issues, how to protect my privacy: technology + credit + legal.
    Therefore, civilian-oriented security is not easy to make substantive progress, need to solve technical, operational and user issues at all levels, there will be a gradual process.
    As an advocator and leader of network video surveillance, Kodak has paid sustained attention to and promoted the process of civilian-oriented surveillance, has launched a comprehensive family and commercial oriented public video surveillance solutions and wireless Monitoring basing on 3G networks and ******** solutions, and achieved success in  commercial usage.
