IFSEC 2014 covered a wide range of security
We were pleased to see that IFSEC provided visitors with a wide and diverse range of security stands. We were particularly interested in Access control, Video surveillance and physical security but we also enjoyed learning more about Biometrics, safe cities and IT security as these all relate to our core product range.
Access Control & Biometrics
Driven by rising concerns over public and private safety, Access control is an integral part of business and public sector security. This product range includes door entry systems, readers, integrated access control systems and access control software solutions.
Video Surveillance
With the move of wireless video surveillance and digital allowing for a higher image resolution, a need has been created to consistently take the newest approach to surveillance and intruder alarm solutions. This product range includes ANPR cameras, IP cameras, remote surveillance and thermal imaging CCTV systems.
Physical Security & Perimeter Protection
The importance of strong perimeter protection and other physical security solutions cannot be ignored. The deterrent of a visible security system is a fundamental part of all security strategies. Due to the highlighted threat in today’s world, the importance of protecting property and assets is paramount to securing your premises.
Integrated Security
To install or ensure an efficient and effective security system, you’ll want the individual elements to be integrated. Whether it’s integrating with existing solutions set in place or streamlining the integration process on new security systems we can help. The purpose built integrated security area of IFSEC focused on determining system flows so each security service doesn’t work in isolation. The integrated security area provided us with access to provides who’s sole job is to ensure each area of security is integrated and managed effectively.
Safe Cities
The need for global city hubs to future proof, upgrade and plan has never been greater with collaboration from global business leaders, mayers office, first responders and local/central government. Safe cities utilise a multi-agency approach led by the government to protect the population , infrastructure and cities economy against the threat of terrorism, criminal activity and natural disasters.
Smart Buildings
Smart buildings combined the fire and security areas for both events and focused on the common area of system integration and convergence. Unlike the other areas, Smart Buildings was more about holistic solutions. Smart Buildings opens up the opportunities for interoperability and information sharing between fire, security, IT, data and building management systems.
Cyber & IT Security
The IT and Cyber security area represented the ever changing landscape of the security industry’s primary sectors – physical security, video surveillance, access control and intruder alarms. This sector showcased solutions that are designed to protect your business from IT and Cyber security pitfalls.
The team at Lockrite really enjoyed the day and we’re really glad to have been a part of IFSEC 2014.
