For companies to gain loyal customers or clients it is important to develop the product according to what the general public wants and needs. Companies which are technologically driven and are in a market that is highly competitive, offering clients with devices that can perform more than one function. This type of devices is especially client-friendly since it gives the client several features or functions without the extra cost. With the global economic crisis still lingering in the minds of the clients spending or overspending for certain devices may not be so appealing. This fact is also true with the security and alert systems industry, since such industry is technology driven and the competition is very high. Thus, many security and alert systems companies have started to invest in their research and development division in order to develop products that may be packed full of different features and each feature would complement each other. Just like for a CCTV camera system where video analytics are installed in order to make the CCTV camera not only a device for passive protection but also an active security device.
