The global video surveillance market is projected to grow from $29.9 billion in 2022 to $64.8 billion by 2030. This expansion is shadowed by significant risk, as 74% of breaches in the 2024 Verizon DBIR involved financial or credential theft.
Key Takeaways

- In the 2024 Verizon DBIR, 74% of breaches involved the ‘financial/credential theft’ motive (incident motivation distribution).
- Average cost of security tooling per endpoint reached $1,000 per year in a 2023 industry benchmarking survey (security spend benchmark).
- In the UK, the Surveillance Camera Code recommends operational cost-effective measures; organizations are assessed against ‘need to know’ and ‘proportionality’ which reduces unnecessary surveillance costs (Code).
- 3,200+ hours of video are uploaded every minute on YouTube.
- 5.6% of total global fixed broadband subscriptions were fiber in 2020 (ITU dataset, ‘fixed-broadband subscriptions by technology’).
- 42% of security integrators reported that ‘cybersecurity of IP video’ is a top customer concern (industry survey).
- 29% of enterprises reported that they planned to invest in video surveillance/physical security technology in the next 12 months (global survey).
- 34% of organizations reported having automated alerts from video surveillance (survey result).
- 1080p became the most common resolution for IP surveillance cameras in 2023 (industry report conclusion).
- 60% of CCTV systems in a 2021 study used H.264 or H.265 for video compression (peer-reviewed study distribution).
- ONVIF Profile G supports network video linkages including PTZ control and audio (spec).
- In the US, cybersecurity incidents involving web-facing applications were among the top causes of successful exploitation in 2023 (CISA KEV).
With Brazil and global markets rapidly expanding, cyber risks are rising fast, making IP video security essential.

02
Average cost of security tooling per endpoint reached $1,000per year in a 2023 industry benchmarking survey (security spend benchmark).
03
In the UK, the Surveillance Camera Code recommends operational cost-effective measures; organizations are assessed against ‘need to know’ and ‘proportionality’ which reduces unnecessary surveillance costs (Code).
04
0.2–0.5% of networked cameras are exposed to the internet by default in some internet-scanning studies (scan-based measurement range reported in peer-reviewed work).
05
The median cost of a data breach in 2024 was $4.88 million (IBM/Cost of a Data Breach Report).
06
CISA estimates that phishing kits and credential theft costs organizations millions of dollars per year in losses and recovery costs (CISA guidance references economic impacts; measured via reported losses).
07
NIST estimates that cyber risk mitigation measures can reduce likelihood and impact; ROI calculations depend on expected loss (NIST guidance on cost-benefit).
08
In 2023, global IT spending on cybersecurity was projected at $188.3 billion (Gartner forecast).
09
In 2024, Gartner forecasts global security and risk management spending at $167.0 billion (forecast).
Interpretation
Cost Analysis Interpretation
From a cost analysis perspective, credential theft and phishing-related losses dominate breach expenses with 74% of Verizon’s 2024 breaches driven by financial and credential theft, and the median breach cost reached $4.88 million, making the total cost of inadequate camera and network security potentially far higher than routine security tooling spending of about $1,000 per endpoint per year.
