Market and economic benefit analysis of thermal imaging cameras

The infrared camera is a high-tech product used to detect the infrared radiation of a target object and convert the temperature distribution image of the target object into a video image through photoelectric conversion and electrical signal processing. The core device and technology are mainly Focal plane detector, follow-up circuit, image processing software and other three parts. Infrared thermal imaging camera and video alarm system are based on hardware systems such as uncooled infrared camera or visible light camera. They use infrared/visible composite imaging, video image processing and automatic behavior analysis and alarm software to integrate existing video. The manual monitoring and post-testing functions of the monitoring system in good weather are upgraded to the hands-free care and computer automatic real-time alarm function under all weather conditions. So, what is the current market demand and economic benefits?

1. Market demand analysis
The infrared camera and video alarm system are proposed for the relevant market demand in the military and civilian fields.

Thermal imaging cameras have high military application value and civilian value. In the military, infrared cameras can be applied to military night vision surveillance, weapon sights, night vision guidance, infrared search and tracking, satellite remote sensing and many other fields. Under modern war conditions, thermal imaging cameras have been widely used in military weapons such as satellites, missiles, and aircraft. In civil applications, thermal imaging cameras can be used for the detection and evaluation of material defects, building energy efficiency evaluation, and equipment. State thermal diagnosis, production process monitoring, automatic testing, disaster mitigation and disaster prevention, and many other aspects. At the same time, with the development of uncooled infrared thermal imaging technology, especially with the significant reduction in production costs during industrialization, thermal imaging cameras have been used in industry, agriculture, medical, fire, archaeology, transportation, geology, public security reconnaissance. The civil sector has been widely used.

The video alarm system is different from the general network video surveillance, it is a higher-end video surveillance application. The intelligent video surveillance system automatically recognizes different objects, detects anomalies in the surveillance screen, and alerts and provides useful information in the fastest and best way to more effectively assist security personnel in handling crises and maximizing Reduce false positives and false negatives. Today, as the world's anti-terrorism struggle is becoming more and more serious, intelligent video surveillance is clearly a powerful aid to counter terrorist attacks and deal with emergencies. In addition, it can be applied to a variety of non-security related scenarios such as traffic management, customer behavior analysis, customer service, etc., to improve the return on investment of users.

2. Analysis of economic benefits

In recent years, thermal imaging cameras will be equipped with various modern weapons. At present, the number of military forces in the world is about 20 million. If 10% of the military is equipped with one infrared camera for each soldier, each infrared camera will be pressed. At $2,000 (currently priced at about $10,000), the global military thermal imaging camera market demand can reach $4 billion. In developed countries, thermal imaging cameras have been widely deployed in various services such as the Army, Air Force, and Navy. In the Gulf War, an average of 1.7 thermal imaging cameras per American soldier. Compared with developed countries, the application of infrared thermal imaging cameras in our military is relatively small. According to the "China's National Defense in 2006" white paper issued by the Chinese government, the number of personnel in our military is 2.3 million. % of the troops equipped with infrared thermal imaging cameras, the market capacity of China's military infrared thermal imaging cameras can reach 230,000 sets, with a set of 100,000 yuan per set (the current actual price of most military infrared thermal imaging cameras is far more than 100,000 yuan) Calculated, its market prospects can reach 23 billion yuan.

The field of fire protection is the largest civilian market for infrared cameras in developed countries. Due to the smoke and temperature measurement characteristics of infrared imaging, infrared cameras can be used in fire rescue and detection equipment for fire protection. According to statistics, there are currently about 5 million firefighters in the world. If each fire-fighting vehicle is equipped with a thermal imager, the total market will reach 200,000. There are few infrared thermal imaging cameras in China's fire engines. According to the statistics of the equipment department of the Fire Department of the Ministry of Public Security of China, the current number of fire engines in China is about 23,000, according to the Ministry of Public Security, the National Development and Reform Commission, and the Ministry of Construction. The "City Fire Station Construction Standards" requires that by the end of 2008, the fire truck configuration of each fire station has increased from 3.2 to 5 in the past, and 500 fire stations will be added. The total number of fire engines in the country will increase. 8,000 vehicles. With the development of China's economy and society, the use of infrared cameras for fire engines will become a trend. If each fire engine is equipped with an infrared camera, the market for infrared cameras in China's fire protection industry will reach 30,000 units. The average is calculated at 100,000 yuan (currently about 150,000 yuan), and the total market demand reaches 3 billion yuan.

In the power industry, although the industry is currently the most widely used industry for thermal imaging cameras in China, it is currently limited to coastal economically developed regions such as Guangdong, Zhejiang, Jiangsu, and Shandong, and the number of these developed regions is only required. 20%. As the most mature and effective online power detection method, the infrared camera can greatly improve the reliability of the operation of the power supply equipment and greatly reduce the maintenance time of the equipment. Therefore, with the development of China's economy, the power of other inland provinces The industry will also use thermal imaging cameras, which provides a huge space for the development of the thermal imaging industry. According to statistics, the total demand for infrared thermal imaging cameras in China's power industry is about 25,000 units, calculated at an average price of 80,000 yuan per unit (currently selling price is about 100,000 yuan). The total market demand is about 2 billion yuan.

In the construction industry, on November 1, 2006, China Engineering Construction Standardization Association approved the implementation of the "Infrared Thermal Imaging Method for Testing Debonding Defects of Building Exterior Wall Finishing Layers", and applied the application of infrared thermal imaging cameras in the construction industry. specification. At present, there are about 100,000 construction enterprises in China. If each one is equipped with one infrared thermal imager, the total market demand can reach 100,000 units, with an average price of 100,000 yuan per unit. The market demand can reach 100. 100 million yuan.

In addition, as of the end of 2006, China's manufacturing industry had a total of 1.32 million enterprises. If these manufacturing industries use infrared thermal imaging cameras for process control, they can greatly improve the product quality of enterprises. For example, 10% of large enterprises in the manufacturing industry are equipped with infrared thermal imaging cameras, and each company is equipped with an infrared thermal imager to calculate The total market demand reached 132,000 units, and the market demand for the price of 100,000 yuan per unit (currently sold at 150,000 yuan) reached 13.2 billion yuan.

Since the cost of the infrared thermal imager has been high, its use in the domestic security field has only started from the “Safe City” project in the past two years, but with the cost of the infrared thermal imager and the domestic The demand for security system has increased, and its demand in the security field in China has shown a rapid growth trend. Although the domestic manufacturers of infrared thermal imaging cameras have been around for 4-5 years, many famous infrared thermal imaging camera manufacturers such as Zhejiang Dali and Wuhan Gaode have put their main product research and development and sales efforts on medical care. On the test and industrial testing equipment, the importance of security cameras is not enough. This makes the domestic infrared thermal imager manufacturers in the security field of the overall technical level is not high, the product is single, and there is no monopoly enterprise or leading enterprise in the security industry.

The video alarm system entered China at the earliest in 2005. At that time, with the implementation of the Olympic security project, some foreign security companies introduced video alarm systems to China, and began a wide range of promotion activities, hoping to quickly seize the market with the help of Olympic projects, but because of At the stage of new things in China, Party A generally does not understand its functions, and it does not form a unified understanding of its necessity. Therefore, there are few successful cases. However, with the passage of time, the military, armed police and public security systems have now formed a correct understanding of the video alarm system, and with the increase of domestic terrorist activities, many areas have already put forward a clear use intention.
