In the Indian state of Andhra Pradesh, all establishments expected to host gatherings of 100 or more people are required to have video surveillance protection, according to the Public Safety Enforcement Act passed in 2013. Both of these pieces of legislation are expected to increase the demand for video surveillance data storage.
 
According to leading vendors in the market, end users are placing greater value on their video surveillance data. This is because video surveillance is increasingly being used for business intelligence applications, as well as for evidence in legal defense proceedings.

Network-as-you-go (NAS) storage is predicted to increasingly compete with storage area network (SAN) solutions. Technological advancements in NAS are making it more comparable, in terms of performance, to SAN. NAS is also typically more cost-effective to install and maintain compared to SAN. With price being a key factor in video surveillance purchasing decisions, IHS anticipates strong growth in NAS solutions over the next three years.
