In the history of humanity, fiction often precedes reality. A clear example is the cult novel 1984, which already in 1949 presented a reality in which the world was watched and controlled through cameras and other monitoring and control mechanisms.
Nowadays, reality has long surpassed fiction: video surveillance has evolved significantly in recent years, becoming a fundamental element for security in both commercial and residential environments, to indispensable for the control of public areas; not in vain, video surveillance is the main tool of states to control not only crime but also to manage traffic, supervise hygiene, and ultimately, organize the city intelligently.

In this post, we will conduct a thorough analysis of the current state of video surveillance services, as well as explore the trends that are shaping the future of this industry.
Leading companies in the security camera market play a crucial role in defining standards of quality, innovation, and reliability in this industry, particularly in Mexico, a country where trust is a key factor in such delicate and decisive matters as security.
Considering the relevance of the subject, we have written in the past this comparative perspective on ADT, Prosegur, Securitas, and other well-established security companies.
A significant issue with traditional security camera companies is linked to their cost and contract conditions: the market norm is to offer expensive and complicated contracts, which, thanks to complex fine print and an advanced payment retention system, make it really difficult to break them when the user wishes to.
