The future of smart living and connected security

April 2026 Smart Home Automation, News & Events

Securex South Africa 2026 returns to the Gallagher Convention Centre in Johannesburg, South Africa, from 02 to 04 June, with a strong focus on the convergence of security, home automation, and smart living technologies. From controlling access and surveillance remotely to managing energy use during blackouts, smart technologies are transforming how organisations and property owners operate, protect assets, and maintain uptime across residential and commercial environments.

As a leading security exhibition in Africa and a key safety and security trade show, the event continues to reflect the growing connectivity between residential and commercial environments. Co-located with A-OSH EXPO, Facilities Management Expo, Firexpo, and RE+ South Africa, Securex South Africa offers a comprehensive platform where smart security, automation, and energy solutions intersect.

As Mark Anderson, portfolio director at Montgomery Group Africa, notes, “Home automation and smart security are no longer niche categories. They are central to how people manage safety, energy use, and convenience in both residential and commercial spaces. Securex South Africa reflects this shift by bringing these technologies into a broader, integrated environment.”

A growing priority

Across South Africa, demand for home automation and smart security solutions continues to grow. Homeowners, estates, developers and businesses are increasingly investing in systems that combine:

● Access control and surveillance.

● Remote monitoring and mobile integration.

● Smart lighting, climate and energy management.

● Perimeter protection and intrusion detection.

● Backup power and renewable energy integration.

Securex South Africa 2026 provides a practical opportunity to explore how these systems work together within a connected ecosystem. Visitors can see how solutions perform in real-world scenarios and compare options side by side.

What to expect at Securex South Africa 2026

Visitors to the Securex South Africa 2026 exhibition can expect more than static displays. This is where smart security and automation solutions can be experienced live, tested in action, and evaluated in context. Visitors can also enjoy sessions at the free-to-attend Firexpo Seminar Theatre, where experts share practical insights on fire prevention, compliance, and risk management, adding valuable context to the solutions seen on the show floor.

Co-located shows

Five co-located events bring together security, safety, facilities, fire safety, and energy sectors, allowing visitors to explore integrated solutions in one venue in Johannesburg.

Live demonstrations and smart technology showcases

The show floor features hands-on engagement with the latest innovations, including:

● Smart home and building automation systems.

● Integrated access control and surveillance platforms.

● Remote monitoring and IoT-enabled security solutions.

● Drone demonstrations supporting surveillance and estate security.

● Live product demonstrations across all co-located shows.

● Feature areas where visitors can experience how systems integrate across security, energy, and building environments.

Three theme days enhancing the visitor experience

Day 1 — New products and innovation in action: Discover the latest smart security and home automation technologies entering the South African market.

Day 2 — Installer appreciation day: Focused on installers and integrators responsible for implementing smart systems in homes, estates, and commercial environments.

Day 3 — Women in safety and security: Celebrating leadership and participation across the protection and smart technology sectors.

Where security, energy and automation connect

One of the key advantages of Securex South Africa is its co-location with a facilities management expo, a fire protection exhibition, and a renewable energy expo. This enables visitors to explore how home automation integrates with:

● Energy systems, including solar and backup power solutions.

● Fire detection and emergency response systems.

● Building management and infrastructure platforms.

● Estate and commercial security environments.

Seeing these systems together in one environment helps visitors understand how to improve efficiency, reduce risk, and keep operations running smoothly. This integrated approach is particularly relevant in South Africa, where energy reliability, safety, and operational efficiency are closely linked.

“Securex South Africa brings together the technologies shaping the future of smart security and automation. Whether you are upgrading a residential system or planning large-scale developments, this is where you can experience solutions live, compare options, and connect with the right suppliers. Visitors can find more information and pre-register online at www.securex.co.za,” says Anderson.
