Frost & Sullivan Presents 2012 United States Retail Facility Managers' Choice Award for Best Brand of Analog Cameras to Sony Electronics, Inc. PR Newswire MOUNTAIN VIEW, California, Aug. 14, 2012 - Survey shows that retail managers prefer Sony analog cameras over others to maintain physical security focus on their facilities MOUNTAIN VIEW, California, Aug. 14, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- On the basis of Frost & Sullivan's independent research, "2011 United States Security in Retail, Physical Security Focus," Sony emerged as a strong leader in the analog camera category for retail facilities. A leading vendor for security cameras in the United States and globally, Sony has effectively adapted its consumer technology to better suit the video surveillance market. The Frost & Sullivan survey of United States retail facility managers asked which brand of analog cameras the managers considered first-, second-, and third-best. Weighted mean scores (WMS) were computed from their responses and Sony received the most number-one rankings and the highest WMS. While some retail managers anticipated a decrease in the use of analog cameras due to the incursion of Internet Protocol (IP) or digital cameras, many still expected increasing use. "Overall use of analog surveillance cameras likely will not decline," said Frost & Sullivan Senior Research Analyst Anna Kuberacka.
