From LiveView Technologies to integrate Axis cameras into mobile surveillance trailers

How could LiveView Technologies' integration of Axis cameras affect Genetec?

Possible What happens if… A possibility worth considering, not a forecast.

Increased competition in the ALPR market may challenge Genetec's position LiveView Technologies is integrating thermal-plus-visual cameras from Axis Communications into its mobile surveillance trailers. These systems feature AI capabilities that allow them to flag people loitering and read license plates. Since Genetec competes in the market by manufacturing ALPR technology, this expansion of LVT's capabilities and market presence using Axis hardware increases competitive pressure within the surveillance sector.

The facts so far

As reported. Each one links to where it comes from.

  • LVT is adding a thermal-plus-visual camera from Axis Communications to its trailers.theguardian.com
  • LVT's systems use AI capabilities to flag people loitering and read license plates.theguardian.com
  • LVT has frequent business with the federal government, including a $343,000 lease to the US Park Police.theguardian.com

Why it matters

For Genetec, the surveillance and ALPR market is highly competitive. LVT's integration of advanced Axis technology allows it to offer sophisticated mobile surveillance solutions, potentially capturing market share from established players like Genetec, especially within the lucrative federal and government contract space.

This move occurs while LVT is already a frequent federal vendor, having secured contracts with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and the Park Police. The expansion of LVT's capabilities, particularly its AI-driven ALPR features, positions it as a stronger competitor in the mobile security sector.

What we don't know yet

  • Will LVT's new thermal-plus-visual cameras overcome previous reliability issues, such as those faced in Colorado?
  • How will Genetec respond to increased competition from LVT's expanded mobile surveillance offerings?

What would change this answer
