Industry Assessment Overview

Industry Findings: The convergence of dense urban CCTV networks and strict data-regulation expectations has elevated the importance of explainable, latency-optimised vision systems. The market now looks for modular deployments that can anonymise PII at the edge, provide auditable inference trails, and integrate into multi-tenant operational centres; vendors meeting these governance and performance trade-offs secure mandates across transport, retail, and corporate campus surveillance.

Industry Progression: New official guidance and operational expansions are forcing vendors to pair high-performance analytics with strict privacy and explainability features; recent government and PCPD moves to publish CCTV and drone guidance and the announced expansion of SmartView facial recognition to thousands of cameras in 2025 mean buyers now require edge anonymisation, auditable inference trails, and latency-optimised deployments, shifting procurement to suppliers prepared to demonstrate privacy-first pipelines alongside accurate identity or crowd analytics.

Industry Players: With many companies present in the space, some are SenseTime Hong Kong, PCCW Solutions, Dahua Technology, Smartone 5G Labs, ASTRI, Varadise, and Dayta AI etc. Hong Kong’s market increasingly rewards privacy-aligned, edge-first deployments as regulators tighten expectations for video governance. PCCW Solutions rolled out an upgraded smart-retail vision analytics platform in 2024, adding cross-store behavioral insights for large retail chains. This move boosts adoption of compliant vision tools and favors vendors delivering privacy-tuned on-device inference and enterprise analytics dashboards.
