2021: Thousands of private CCTV cameras hacked in Russia

On November 30, 2021, it became known that thousands of private CCTV cameras were hacked in Russia. Many of these devices are located in hotels, massage rooms. Videos recorded by such cameras, as well as access to them, are sold on the Web. It is very easy to protect the device - just change the factory settings.

The hacking is indicated by the data of the Shodan and Censys services, designed to search for devices connected to the Internet. This is also evidenced by the fact that there are many Telegram channels, publics in VK and forums on the Web, where they sell access to or video from hacked cameras.

Owners of hotels, beauty salons and other types of business put cameras in their premises for security reasons, but they are not always properly protected, "said Igor Bederov, head of the information and analytical research department at T.Hunter.

According to open sources, vulnerable cameras are located around the world.

The ease of access to cameras is also due to the fact that not every user is engaged in ensuring elementary security of devices.

You cannot hide the camera online. However, so that the attacker does not pay attention to the device, the owner often needs to change the password preinstalled by the manufacturer. After all, search filters of the same Shodan can be configured so that cameras with factory settings are displayed in the output^[1].

2023: The Ministry of Internal Affairs named the number of CCTV cameras in Russia. Leading regions

By mid-August 2023, there are more than 550 thousand CCTV cameras in Russia throughout the country. This was told by the first deputy head of the PKU NPO "STiS" of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation Denis Panyushin. According to him, about 199 thousand devices are endowed with biometric recognition functions, and 11 thousand cameras can report certain incidents.

According to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, by mid-August 2023, 56% of viewing cameras are located in three constituent entities of the federation: Moscow, St. Petersburg and Tatarstan. In nine regions, the law enforcement segment of the Safe City agro-industrial complex is absent at all, and not a single video camera has been installed in 26 regions. In six more subjects, the number of video cameras does not exceed 100 units. The lack of a sufficient number of surveillance CCTV cameras greatly complicates the work of law enforcement agencies, according to the department.

According to ministry leaders, smart cameras with facial recognition will play a priority role in ensuring security. In 2021-2022, research was carried out in Moscow on the detection of persons with weapons using video cameras. They proved that at this stage, the use of smart cameras for this purpose is not yet effective, Panyushin said in mid-August 2023.

We are constantly faced with information about the lack of funding for the development of the hardware and software complex. There are instructions from the president as part of the development of the Safe City agro-industrial complex. It is necessary that the regions correctly prioritize. The security issue is key, - said Denis Kormakov, Deputy Director of the Information Technology and Communications Department of the Russian Emergencies Ministry.

The Ministry of Emergency Situations believes that one of the development options for the Safe City agro-industrial complex may be the development of the platform as a service, services, since the budgets of the regions sometimes do not have large amounts for the implementation of certain solutions.^[2]

2021

Russia took second place in terms of the growth rate of video surveillance for citizens

Russia took second place in terms of the growth rate of video surveillance for citizens. This became known on October 5, 2021.

Video surveillance technology is spreading faster only in South Korea.

The total number of video cameras in public places for the year increased by 10%.

In the first half of 2021, the number of cameras installed in parks, streets, train stations, shops exceeded 15 million units. In terms of the number of working video surveillance equipment, the Russian Federation is already in third place after China, where 200 million video cameras operate in October 2021.

At ^[3] same time, there are no legislative restrictions for the distribution of video surveillance for citizens in Russia, unlike many other states^[4] of the ^[5].

In the first half of the year, Russia took second place in terms of the rate of connection of video cameras

2020: Russia entered the top three countries with the largest number of CCTV cameras

Russia entered the top three countries with the largest number of CCTV cameras - by the end of 2020 there were about 13.5 million of them (93.2 per 1,000 people). More equipment is installed only in the United States (about 50 million units, or 152.8 cameras per 1000 inhabitants) and China (200 million, or 143.6 units per 1000 people). This is evidenced by data from TelecomDaily.

58.7% of cameras in Russia are installed by commercial organizations to prevent theft, ensure security, etc. 32.8% of video cameras - at state expense. These cameras are installed in schools, state institutions, on the roads, in hospitals, etc. 8.5% of cameras in Russia were installed by individuals.

No more than 5% of all cameras are connected to cloud video surveillance (when the video stream is recorded in cloud storage). However, in 2020, the volume of this segment reached 3.53 billion rubles, which is 28% more than a year ago. Slightly less than 90% of revenue in this segment was generated by B2B companies, individuals - about 9%, the public sector (B2G) - 1.4%, B2B2C customers - 1.1%.

The study notes that a huge number of companies provide services in the corporate market - from telecom operators and system integrators to VSaaS providers. At the same time, there is a clear leader in the market for individuals:

Rostelecom occupies 86%;
Invideon - 5%;
y MTS and - MGTS 2%;
Novotelecom - 1.5%;
the rest of the companies control 5.3% of the Russian cloud video surveillance market.

The cloud video analytics (OVA) market in 2020 grew to 1.98 billion rubles, 98% of revenue fell on corporate clients. Analysts explain the low share of the public sector by the fact that data from video cameras are written mainly to the data processing centers of state customers, and not to the cloud of the service operator. In the future, the state's share in this market will also grow, TelecomDaily expects.^[6]

2019

The total volume of the Russian video surveillance market is 76 billion rubles

According to TelecomDaily, the total volume of the Russian video surveillance market at the end of 2019 reached 76 billion rubles: the fastest service developed in digital format (IP video surveillance), including the data storage sector in the cloud (VSaaS). Such data were presented by the information and analytical agency TelecomDaily on December 25, 2020.

The volume of the Russian market for CCTV cameras increased by 19%

According to the market research agency Discovery Research Group, the volume of the Russian market for video surveillance and security cameras in 2019 reached 4.53 million units against 3.82 million a year earlier (an increase of almost 19%). Deliveries of devices manufactured in Russia during this time rose from 357,155 to 400,796 units. The share of such decisions remained almost unchanged - about 9%. The largest number of CCTV and security cameras in 2019 was produced in the Krasnoyarsk Territory.

According to analysts, despite the small share of video cameras made in Russia, they successfully compete with foreign products due to the fact that domestic products have a number of competitive advantages.

As noted in the study, the high need to ensure public and personal safety is one of the characteristic features of modern Russia.

The Russian market for CCTV cameras added 19%

Experts call the lag in the field of electronics a factor restraining the development of Russian production. The production of modern electronics requires huge investments. For domestic collectors, it is cheaper and more efficient to buy electronic components abroad.

The volume of imports of cameras for video surveillance and security in 2019 amounted to $195.87 million. By body type in 2019, the largest share was occupied by body cameras. Among the body cameras, models of the classic version in appearance are popular.

According to Discovery Research, most CCTV and security cameras are imported to Russia by the Hiwatch, Dahua, Hikvision, RTI, Trassir and Axis brands. The shares of these producers in the free sample for the study are not indicated.

The largest volume of imported video surveillance and security cameras to Russia in 2019 was supplied from China, and Dahua took the largest share of the piece export of equipment from Russia.^[7]

2010: Data from IMS Research

IMS Research estimates the volume of the 2010 Russian video surveillance market at $173 million. Even during the crisis, there was a relatively small decline in the Russian IP video surveillance market - about 10%. According to IMS Research forecasts, by 2014 the video surveillance equipment market in Eastern Europe and Russia will approximately double and, according to preliminary estimates, in 2010 its growth was about 10%, and sales exceeded the pre-crisis (February 2011 data^[8].

If in 2010 the 45% of sales accounted for network video surveillance systems, then in the next share of analog and IP video surveillance equipment will be equal - as a result of the evolutionary transition to digital technology. However, Russian distributors give slightly different figures and say that sales of IP video cameras account for only 15% of sales.

According to IMS, in 2010, the increase in sales of IP video surveillance equipment in Russia amounted to 50% in monetary terms. After the crisis of 2009, this IP equipment market grew mainly due to the implementation of relevant solutions in large companies. At the same time, analogue CCTV systems were sold only 10% more compared to the recession, and this despite the fact that over the past two or three years the price of analog cameras has fallen three to four times, and for digital cameras - only 1.5-2 times. Sales of management software (Video Management Software, VMS) increased by 45%.

According to IMS, in 2010 in the markets of Eastern Europe and Russia, the share of sales of high-resolution (HD) cameras was only 4%, and megapixel cameras - 22% (analysts share these product classes). It is expected that by 2014 their shares will grow, respectively, to 20 and 33% and in monetary terms this segment of the Russian market will reach $150 million. According to IMS Research analyst William Rhodes, megapixel and HD video cameras in Russia "take root with difficulty" due to their high cost and unacceptable TCO indicators. Despite the fact that sales of this class of equipment will grow at the fastest pace, their use in security systems will not be ubiquitous, especially cameras with Full HD resolution (1920×1080).

IMS notes that video analytics systems do not yet occupy a significant segment of the market, but the need for such products is growing, and they have a great future. Such systems can be used to find people, applied in forensic studies and in other areas of activity. Thermal imaging video cameras are considered a promising direction. Abroad, growing attention is attracted by "cloud" solutions - "video surveillance as a service" (Video Surveillance as a Service, VSaaS).

Only 15 CCTV equipment companies are present in the markets of Russia and Eastern Europe. According to IMS, the five leading vendors of video surveillance systems in Russia are companies:

50% of the CCTV market turnover in Russia is accounted for by products of well-known brands. According to IMS forecasts, in the coming years we can expect new major global vendors to enter the Russian market and tougher competition in the segment of software management (Video Management Software, VMS). Analysts do not exclude the growth of the consulting services market for IP video surveillance projects, which, in their opinion, will depend on the success of anti-corruption measures, and predict an increase in the supply of local assembled products.

CCTV video surveillance systems are in demand from large commercial organizations, government agencies, law enforcement agencies and end users. The growth of this segment is facilitated by both the creation of large-scale urban video surveillance systems and the deployment of personal systems.

According to IMS, among consumers of video surveillance systems, the fastest growing and most profitable segments in Russia are Russian Railways, state corporations and commercial organizations. In addition, video surveillance is actively used in traffic monitoring and traffic control systems, and high-resolution (HD) cameras and video analytics are used to recognize car license plates. The sports and entertainment segment contributes to the growth in sales of IP video surveillance equipment.
