Viettel enters the security camera market with a different product

Camera is predicted to be the second smartphone market in Vietnam thanks to the explosion of demand in the digital revolution, as well as the development trend of smart cities and the need for security monitoring of businesses, organizations, households... This attractive market has attracted many domestic and foreign enterprises. With many advantages, Viettel Telecom also launched the AI ​​Camera product developed by the Enterprise itself. Although entering the market later, Viettel Telecom is confident that it will succeed in conquering domestic customers with the Home Camera brand.

According to statistics from B&Company Vietnam, the camera market in Vietnam has the fastest growth rate in the region with an estimated annual growth rate of 8.6% in the period 2020-2026. In 2021, the number of imported cameras will reach 5 million units, second only to smartphones. It can be said that in today's modern life, installing cameras to ensure security and safety has become an urgent need. Thanks to Internet-connected cameras, users can observe and control their home, factory, and office space more conveniently... remotely in real time. Checking past activities is also easy thanks to data stored on memory cards or on the cloud. Many Wi-Fi cameras allow users to observe their home simply by operating on a smartphone or tablet and even talk to relatives at home using the two-way talk function in real time. B&Company assessed that young couples with jobs and raising young children in Vietnam, especially in big cities, have an increasing demand for home surveillance cameras. This trend stems from security concerns for young children who are cared for by grandparents or domestic helpers at home while their parents are away. Similar needs also arise in families with elderly people living alone at home.

And so, the Camera is not only a security monitoring device but also helps users connect with their family when they are far away or record, store and share memorable footage of their loved ones, making family life happier. However, this 'companion' has potential risks that not all users are aware of.

The above report by B&Company also pointed out the fact that the Vietnamese camera market is heavily dominated by 3 international brands with 95% of the total import value, of which 1 Chinese brand alone accounts for 52%. This situation has caused many security experts to strongly warn about the risk of users having their data illegally collected when most devices are not strictly managed. With a huge amount of data including clear images, sounds, and private information of individuals and organizations, it can be used for bad purposes such as commercial competition, blackmail, fraud, property appropriation, defamation, etc.

In particular, when camera products operate on a cloud storage mechanism connected to a server system located abroad without a security mechanism, the security risk increases even more. Vietnamese users have absolutely no idea how the server is attacked, exploited or controlled and how their data is being used by foreign organizations. More sophisticatedly, cyber criminals can take control of the device and use it for cyber attacks and spreading malware. In a workshop, Mr. Khuong Duy - Director of Viettel High Tech's Camera Center said that current cameras all have microphones, as well as headphones, image sensors like eyes, and can actively rotate 360 ​​degrees. Maintaining a connection to a server abroad only requires a small change in software, and all of the above cameras become a giant surveillance system.

Viettel's Home Camera is a genuine high-end security camera product that Viettel pioneered in researching and developing. Participating in the camera market first comes from the attractive growth prospects of the market. Second, as a military enterprise, Viettel clearly identifies the risk of data insecurity for Vietnamese people when using floating products with server systems located abroad. Providing high-quality camera products that ensure data security criteria is within its capabilities, and is also what Viettel considers its responsibility. "Viettel's mission is to provide products and services aimed at improving the quality of life for Vietnamese people. A quality life must start with safety" - Mr. Nguyen Trong Tinh, Deputy General Director of Viettel Telecom Corporation (Viettel Telecom) emphasized. Third, Viettel has the advantage in capacity to create products of higher quality than the current market level. "Viettel is currently a rare enterprise in Vietnam that is capable of mastering both modern core technology and hardware manufacturing capabilities. We have learned many lessons to prove that, although we entered the market later than our competitors, with our superior intelligence, financial capacity and high technology level, Viettel has quickly risen to become the market leader. Viettel security cameras will certainly be significantly improved in quality compared to existing products" - Mr. Nguyen Trong Tinh affirmed.

The outstanding feature of Viettel Home Camera is the application of artificial intelligence (AI) to distinguish between people and objects, sharp images thanks to H265 compression standard technology, full HD 1080. Home Camera also provides SOS emergency call feature from the camera to the application, automatic 360-degree rotation following every movement and 2-way conversation feature. Notably, the accompanying Cloud Camera service helps customers store unlimited capacity and review unlimited number of videos on Viettel Home application in the last 7 days/15 days/30 days with corresponding fees of 40,000 VND/ 60,000 VND and 90,000 VND. This is an optimal solution to replace memory cards/recorders and is highly stable, secure, avoiding the risk of data loss in case of damaged/lost memory cards, recorders or even lost cameras. Viettel's Cloud Camera service fee is considered the cheapest in Asia and is only 1/3 of the similar service package of other providers in the domestic market. In particular, Viettel Home Camera is absolutely secure thanks to the placement of the server system and data storage in Vietnam, managed by Viettel Telecom itself. The reputation of the enterprise is an affirmation that user data will be kept absolutely confidential, not allowing any cases of falling into the hands of a third party. According to the leader of Viettel Telecom, the Corporation accepts high server costs to best serve customers based on the criterion of "safety first".

In addition, Viettel owns a diverse ecosystem of telecommunications and technology products, which can provide optimal solutions for consumers, especially corporate customers. As the number 1 telecommunications enterprise in Vietnam, covering the Internet to all regions of the country, providing high-quality broadband services and soon commercializing 5G, Viettel product users can rest assured about the quality of connection and can have different experiences when using security cameras in smart home systems, smart factories or smart urban areas... In addition, Viettel also owns a wide distribution channel so that products can easily reach consumers, accompanying the Vietnamese people. B&Company's report believes that the surveillance camera market will continue to grow strongly as Vietnam moves into the 5G and IoT era along with the flow of the world, with 1.5 million Vietnamese people joining the global middle class each year and the urbanization rate is increasing rapidly. This is a good opportunity for businesses in the market to develop an integrated smart ecosystem with innovation-oriented products to meet specific domestic market needs./. source: https://nhipsongkinhte.toquoc.vn/viettel-vao-thi-truong-camera-an-ninh-bang-san-pham-khac-biet-20240525112538664.htm
