Car camera to protect the next 'rich mine'

?In recent years, the continuous development of the vehicle monitoring market has made it an important market segment for the security industry. It has also developed for more than ten years in China. It has entered a period of rapid development in China. ? Car camera to protect the next 'rich mine' ? Car camera is not only a car accessory, but also the “eye of a smart car”. Thanks to the boom in autonomous driving, the automotive surveillance camera market has grown rapidly. At present, 13 of the world's 14 large-scale auto manufacturers have announced their entry into the autonomous vehicle market, and 12 of the world's 14 large-scale technology companies have announced that they will develop new technologies to support and operate autonomous vehicles. With the advent of the autonomous driving era after 2020, the in-vehicle camera market will 'go to the next level.' ? In addition, the rapid growth of the camera market is inseparable from the favorable policies of regulators. Beginning in 2018, the United States will force cars to be equipped with rear cameras to prevent collisions when reversing. And with the popularization of autonomous driving technology by major technology companies, smart camera sales will further increase. ? According to HIS estimates, global vehicle camera shipments will grow to 83 million units in 2020, with a compound growth rate of 20%. Based on this estimate, the global automotive camera market size will increase from RMB 6.2 billion in 2015 to RMB 13.3 billion in 2020, with a compound annual growth rate of 16%. Consumption regions are mainly in the Americas, Europe, Asia-Pacific and other places, of which Asia-Pacific will become a fast-growing market. ? The on-board camera has a wide range of applications. According to the application field, it can be divided into driving assistance (driving recorder, ADAS and active safety system), parking assistance (full-vehicle view) and in-car personnel monitoring (face recognition technology). The whole process from driving to parking, therefore, has higher requirements on the working time and temperature of the camera. According to the installation position, it can be divided into 4 parts: front view, rear view, side view and interior monitoring. Currently, most of the front-view and rear-view cameras are used. As the penetration rate of ADAS system and face recognition and other technologies are applied in the field of automotive electronics, the interior and side-view cameras will be further applied. ? At present, a new trend has emerged, which is to use side-view wide-angle cameras instead of rear-view mirrors, which can reduce wind resistance while obtaining a wider and wider viewing angle, and avoid accidents in dangerous blind areas. The BMW i8 Mirrorless concept car has Adopt this design. Japan has also revised regulations to allow vehicles without rear-view mirrors to go on the road and encourage the use of side-view cameras to replace rear-view mirrors. The US National Highway Traffic Safety Administration also recently promised to amend the regulations to eliminate vehicles without rear-view mirrors that are not allowed on the road limit. The replacement of rear-view mirrors with side-view cameras will be the future development trend. ? Concluding remarks ? Vehicle cameras are in the dual outlets of the connected car and autonomous driving markets, which is a gold mine with explosive potential for security companies. In the next two years, autonomous driving will inevitably develop normally, and on-board surveillance cameras will usher in the peak of their development.
