One interesting find out in the recent UK CCTV Market Development report, it seems like the analyst started to see the trends in DIY CCTV. The value of equipment sales is expected to represent strong growth over the importance of installation and maintenance values, which ownership is gradually taken up by enduser, the growth in IP/networked surveillance system has reflected such. Most company in-house IT team will be able to install and commission IP CCTV system with sufficient training and support from the equipment seller.
Also we are now seeing more home networking device manufacturer targeting the lucrative IPCCTV surveillance market. Most of their earlier equipment is just an evolved webcam which is alright for remote monitoring purpose but not for video and audio recording. This has been changed in recent years, but improvement remains to be seen. If you are looking for IP surveillance recording software, give iCatcher a try,

It may have slowed slightly from the boom time in city centre installations, but there is plenty of growth predicted in the UK CCTV market over the next few years …
Newer CCTV technologies such as mobile CCTV, ANPR and "algorithmic" (video analytics) systems will be areas of strong growth in the CCTV sector over the next few years.
Opportunities in commercial and non-residential construction, particularly the 2012 Olympics, will also boost the market, says a CCTV survey.
Increased price competition and the completion of major city centre schemes has meant CCTV has developed at more modest levels in the last few years but there are still growth opportunities in the commercial sector as the trend to replace guards with CCTV continues.
The UK CCTV Market Development Report says the UK market (including sales and rental income) increased each year from 2002 to last year. In the early years of the review period, growth was at 5-7 per cent, boosted by major town and city schemes.
By last year, with the completion of many of these schemes, it had slowed to 4 per cent.
"Nonetheless MBD believes there still exists strong growth potential with some areas of the market, in particular the digital and networked video solutions sectors and new technology areas such as mobile CCTV systems, automatic number plate recognition schemes and algorithmic systems. The commercial sector also continues to provide opportunities for CCTV installations as the trend of substituting manned security continues."
The market is expected to grow in the forecast up to 2011 although levels are "expected to remain relatively moderate" at around 2 per cent per annum in real terms.

By 2011 the value of the market is forecast to reach £1195m at 2006 prices. Demand for digital and networked systems is expected to continue to be buoyant although prices are anticipated to fall in these sectors.
Further sectors expected to show strong growth include remote monitoring services, rapid deployment cameras and alarm activated systems.
"Anticipated output growth in a number of construction sectors, most notably the commercial and public non-residential sectors, as well as the 2012 Olympics, will provide a positive impetus for the CCTV market. However, intense price competition and increased import penetration from low cost manufacturers at the lower end of the market are expected to remain features of the CCTV market.
The proportional importance of installation revenue is forecast to decline from 46 per cent in 2006 to 45 per cent by 2011 "partly reflecting the increasing popularity of digital and networked systems". Even so, the value of installations is forecast to continue to increase, culminating in real term growth of 7 per cent between 2006 and 2011.
The value of equipment sales is expected to represent strong growth with an overall increase of 14 per cent in real terms forecast from now until 2011. Despite relatively buoyant demand, "intense price competition is likely to be a feature."
The value of maintenance taken out by end users will increase by 10 per cent in real terms to 2011. The proportional importance of maintenance will remain stable at 19 per cent of the total CCTV market although "stronger growth is expected to be hindered by the rising popularity of IP enabled systems, which tend to have lower maintenance costs."
