A smart building seamlessly integrates systems like BMS, surveillance, access control, and intrusion detection into one remotely managed network. Beyond safety and security, it fosters innovation, collaboration, and a healthier environment through continuous monitoring, automation, and improved employee performance.
As the demand for smarter, more resilient security solutions continues to grow, Securex South Africa 2025 is the must-attend event for professionals across the security and risk management sectors. Taking place from 3-5 June 2025 at Gallagher Convention Centre, the expo brings together leading security innovators, superior technology, and unmissable live demonstrations.
