Capturing the EdTech market with a broad range of smart technologies

Capturing the EdTech market with a broad range of smart technologies

The education technology (EdTech) market presents a challenge for vendors since it ranges broadly, covering areas as diverse as interactive learning, content sharing, campus security, and management software. The good news is that Hikvision's smart technologies provide solutions for all of these, making it a valuable partner in this growing sector.

According to Research and Markets, the global EdTech market grew from USD 149.79 billion in 2023 to USD 182.26 billion in 2024. It is expected to grow at a CAGR of 22.62%, reaching USD 624.36 billion by 2030. This robust growth is drawing technology vendors eager to capture a part of that market share.

However, as the market develops and the range of technologies expands, the challenge for those selling to educational institutions is becoming harder. Universities, in particular, are seeking a streamlined solution to multiple EdTech technologies rather than engaging with multiple vendors.

For example, as digital learning tools rapidly advance, traditional methods such as whiteboards are becoming insufficient for presenting complex scientific concepts. There is an increasing demand for more dynamic and interactive teaching aids.

At the same time, the shift towards flexible and hybrid learning environments isn't just a response to unforeseen events like the pandemic, but also aims to enhance accessibility for educational institutions.

Moreover, there is a growing need for advanced security systems to ensure a safe environment for both students and staff.

Hikvision's broad range of smart technologies for education

By integrating advanced audio-visual technology, artificial intelligence, and data analytics, Hikvision's smart solutions for EdTech offer a comprehensive approach to addressing these challenges. They help transform ordinary classrooms into interactive, collaborative spaces that enhance both teaching and learning experiences. What's more, its security systems deliver thorough protection across entire campuses.

Together, they help higher education institutions bridge the gap between traditional education methods and cutting-edge digital technology.

• Exciting new ways of engaging students: Interactive flat panels

Hikvision's Interactive Flat Panels bring interactive learning to life in classrooms and labs. These smart panels are particularly useful during laboratory sessions, where observing experiment details can be challenging. Teachers can use their smartphones to project content onto large interactive displays by scanning a QR code, ensuring all students can clearly view essential details.

• Great tools for remote learning: ClassIn software and Education Sharing Device

The HikCentral ClassIn, integrated with existing educational applications, enhances remote teaching and collaborative learning. It supports real-time screen sharing and is compatible with popular video conferencing tools such as Zoom. The ClassIn software platform allows remote students to participate in lectures and discussions as if they were in the classroom. It also simplifies the distribution of digital content such as lecture recordings. Meanwhile, educators can use the Education Sharing Device to record lessons with a single click and retain necessary resources, facilitating real-time interaction between multiple classrooms.

• A secure environment: Hikvision's safe campus solution

Hikvision's safe campus solution leverages advanced technologies to create a secure environment for students and teachers. This usually includes TandemVu PTZ Cameras that provide wide-area coverage and detailed close-ups with high image quality, 24/7. The advanced video security system has significantly improved campus safety and operational efficiency, allowing students and faculty to focus on their academic pursuits with confidence in their safety.

Integrated solutions: Bridging science education with digital innovation at Indonesian university

Universitas Muhammadiyah Surakarta (UMS), a leading university in Indonesia, is a great example of how Hikvision's solutions can comprehensively improve educational excellence while securing the campus.

Partnering with Hikvision and the system integrator Zioncom Technology, UMS upgraded its educational and security infrastructures by installing sixty 75-inch 4K Interactive Flat Panels in classrooms and labs. In addition, HikCentral Enterprise ClassIn* was integrated with UMS's existing educational systems to improve remote teaching and collaborative learning. Currently, the platform supports 6748 registered users and 486 courses, significantly extending educational reach beyond physical campus. To create a secure environment for students and teachers, UMS also implemented Hikvision's safe campus solution. This included 2 MP Fixed Bullet Network Cameras that provide round-the-clock campus security and operational efficiency for security staff.

By integrating this broad range of smart classroom solutions and advanced security measures, UMS has created a more engaging, collaborative, and secure learning environment. Dr. Muzakar Isa, a lecturer at UMS, says that these solutions make it much easier for him to explain lecture material in a more interactive and modern way. "There are no more time or location constraints," he says, "because the solution supports offline and online learning at the same time."

Hikvision's broad range of smart technologies have significantly benefited UMS by making its learning environment more interactive, collaborative, and secure. Students now benefit from immersive learning experiences, while faculty members leverage advanced tools to enhance their teaching methodologies. The integration of advanced security systems has markedly improved campus safety.
