It is expected that project related surveillance investment in Qatar will lead the market. This increased investment will lead to significant expansion and growth in businesses that are directly and indirectly involved in the security and surveillance market in Qatar.
The demand for smart cameras and their impact on data generation is forcing storage manufacturers towards a greater adherence to quality and more importantly, longevity, increasing new investment and encouraging upgrades from older analogue-based solutions. This is expected to lead to complete sweep by IP cameras
