Top 10 best smart security camera in US

  • Aztech Global (SGX:8AZ) is an electronics manufacturing service provider to blue chip brand owners, primarily for their Internet-of-Things (IoT) and data communication products. Smart security cameras manufactured by Aztech was voted among the top ten best smart security cameras for 2021 according to Safewise.com.
  • With the global IoT market set to deliver a 20.8% CAGR to reach US$425.2bn by 2023F according to Frost & Sullivan, we believe decreasing average prices of IoT sensors will further accelerate adoption rates.

    3. Aztech’s expectation of a stronger order book and to potentially start manufacturing a new line of products for Customer A in 2H21F.
