The development of smart cities is expected to propel the growth of the video surveillance as a service (VSaaS) market in the coming years. 

A smart city employs information and communication technology (ICT) to boost operational performance, exchange data with the public, and enhance government service and resident protection. Governments all over the world have lofty goals for making communities smarter and better for people and travelers. 

Smart cities are implementing intelligent video monitoring to help emergency responders respond more quickly in real-time or to detect and handle possible accidents to minimize crime. 

VSaaS refers to hosted cloud-based video surveillance. The service typically includes video recording, storage, remote viewing, management alerts, cyber security, and more.
