Securex 2017 preview Editor's Choice

Hi-Tech Security Solutions looks at a few of the companies and products you can expect to see at Securex 2017 from 30 May to 1 June at Gallagher Convention Centre in Midrand.

It’s time for the 2017 edition of Securex and Hi-Tech Security Solutions has collected information from many of the exhibitors to provide our readers with a small sampling of what you can expect at the event. This year’s Securex will be held from 30 May to 1 June at Gallagher Convention Centre in Midrand.

Apart from the various companies exhibiting, a few of which are highlighted below, other attractions include the New Products Display, the Securex Seminar Theatre brought to you with Hi-Tech Security Solutions, the FPASA InFIReS Seminar, the ESDA breakfast and the SAIDSA Techman Competition.

New to Securex 2017 is the launch of a technical training component. Two morning and two afternoon sessions covering various topics such as surveillance for the entrepreneur (targeting end users and installers), IP surveillance and remote deployment (targeting entrepreneurs), storage know-how (targeting installers), and IP convergence possibilities and solutions in industry (targeting installers and end users), have been scheduled.

To provide a glimpse into what you can expect at the show from the various exhibitors, Hi-Tech Security Solutions asked them for an insight into their plans. Within these pages is a brief overview. There will be far more at the show than we can fit in this preview, so be sure to grab a copy of the Visitor’s Guide at the entrance to the exhibition.
