Video door phone market set for 7.5 percent growth by 2017

Worldwide unit shipments of video door phones will grow by 7.5 per cent during the next five years, marking a strong transition from audio to video in terms of access-control and intercom solutions, a new market study has revealed.

The 'World Market for Audio and Video Door Phones' report from IMS Research reveals that several technological advances and benefits will play an important part in driving the transition from audio to video door phones, including here increased integration with building automation, a transition toward "hands off " indoor units along with larger 7-inch screen sizes, and an increase in the use of network systems and megapixel cameras.

"The transition from audio to video door phones is occurring in all regions around the world, and is being driven by many factors, " said Oliver Philippou, market analyst for video surveillance at IHS, according to a media report by SecurityNewsDesk. "Ultimately, this change is due to a reduction in the price of video door phones, and the consumer's perception of increased security via better identification of those who are trying to gain access."

Nevertheless, the same report mentioned above also points out that the highly price-sensitive nature of the business will ultimately mean that the majority of products shipped will be entry-level devices.
