Top trends

The top six video surveillance trends for 2025, according to Eagle Eye Networks, are:

1. More remote video monitoring due to increased practicality, affordability and the use of AI to reduce false positive alarms
2. Security cameras in more places, including locations that were too remote or too expensive to install only a couple of years ago
3. Multi-sensor cameras are proliferating, enabling one camera to do the work of two or more cameras
4. Gun detection is a rapidly improving technology that uses AI, and has numerous advantages over human guards
5. Low-light capability in security cameras not only delivers better video, it increases the reliability of AI-based object recognition, face detection and license plate recognition
6. More cameras have built-in AI, capable of functions such as object recognition and event detection
