The CCTV market is still expanding fast, but cybersecurity has become the pressure point that turns cameras into targets, not just sensors. With 74% of breaches in Verizon’s 2024 DBIR tied to financial or credential theft, the industry’s growth in IP cameras, NVRs, and video intercoms comes with a new set of risks that are measurable. From global market forecasts to internet exposure rates found in scan studies, the shift in what drives value is harder to ignore than it used to be.
