Surveillance Camera Market

EETimes: Global video surveillance camera revenue is expected to grow to from $4.9 billion in 2006 to more than $9 billion in 2011, a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 13.2 percent, according to iSuppli.

As the result in the growth of the video surveillance market, sales of video processor and interface chips, such as Ethernet, Power over Ethernet and Wi-Fi, will grow dramatically, iSuppli said. But spending on image sensors will fall off based on relentless price declines and accelerated adoption of less-expensive CMOS image sensors, the firm projected.

There is no price heaven for image sensors in surveillance market, like many companies think.
