Vinny Peone, director of marketing for Eastern Security Services and Intelli-Tec Security Services, predicts that monitored video solutions will be the most profitable growth opportunity for dealers and integrators in the security industry in 2025.
Cloud as a one-size-fits-all solution is overplayed, but AI's role in predictive crime prevention, anomaly detection, and real-time analytics will continue to rapidly grow.
The biggest challenge for the security industry right now is finding and retaining top talent. Security companies must offer competitive pay, benefits, and a growth-oriented culture.
The most pressing issue professionals in the security industry should tackle right now is combatting false alarms through improved alarm accuracy and technology like video verification.
2025 will be remembered as the year that the security industry embraced AI-powered analytics and video surveillance, revolutionizing real-time threat detection and predictive crime prevention.
