Incorporating the broadest range of security companies, products and services possible under one roof, IFSEC South Africa Securex 2010 will once again be shaping the industry’s progression when it runs from 31 August through to 2 September at the Sandton Convention Centre in Johannesburg.
This year’s show promises to be even better than ever, with the event attracting attention from South Africa, its northern neighbours and even practitioners and suppliers from the Far East.
In addition, visitors can streamline their entry to the event by pre-registering online (see the web link on the right hand panel of this page for details).
Business matchmaking
The IFSEC South Africa Securex 2010 Business Matchmaking Programme is a new, proactive pre-show platform enabling conference delegates, exhibitors, pre-registered visitors and sponsors alike to view profiles of participants and select who they want to meet at the event.
As soon as you’re confirmed to attend the show, the IFSEC South Africa Securex 2010 Business Matchmaking Team will profile your company and provide access to the online matchmaking programme.
The Business Matchmaking Team starts its work four-to-six weeks in advance of the event, pre-profiling all confirmed participants and creating individual matching reports, in turn encouraging meeting selections and pushing meeting requests into confirmed interactions that take place at the event.
This programme enables you to be proactive before arriving at the event, thus maximising your networking experience. By searching through event profiles, you can select exactly who you want to meet, send a meeting request and confirm all the meetings that will take place at convenient times for the meeting invitee.
Online diaries allow you to track your meeting requests in a real-time environment, providing up-to-date information through your private online matchmaking account.
All meetings take place in the IFSEC South Africa Securex 2010 Business Matchmaking lounge, at meeting tables or on relevant exhibitors’ stands.

Axis has also launched a new range of affordable fixed cameras with varifocal lenses and “excellent image quality” that will be showcased.
The Axis Q6034 will be a highlight of the show. This camera offers HDTV video, 18x optical zoom and high-speed pan/tilt performance for exceptional coverage of large areas and great detail when zooming in.
Local Axis country manager, Roy Alves, will also be presenting educational talks at the show.
Meanwhile, BFR Digital’s solutions will be on display in Hall 1, with the company launching its new Fibre Lite Plus. This product is designed to transmit analogue video, data, contact closures and audio over a multimode fibre optic cable.
Fibre Lite Plus has the power budget to transmit these signals over a cable distance of 6 km.
The Fibre Lite Plus product range consists of stand-alone transmitters and receivers, cage card transmitter and receivers, Field Lite enclosures and Fibre Lite Rack (a 16-slot, 19-inch card cage including the power supply unit).
Remote CCTV monitoring in focus
Remote Offsite Monitoring (ROM) will also be at the show, focusing on its core business of remote CCTV monitoring.
ROM is another first-time exhibitor and will be expanding on the advantages of remote off-site monitoring. The company will be demonstrating remote bi-directional audio control over a site, remote access control and electronic management systems.
ROM has also arranged for its Command Centre to be open to all registered IFSEC South Africa Securex visitors for the duration of the show. Transport has been arranged for interested parties, or fixed appointments can be scheduled.
Bloodhound Technologies will be at the show (in Hall 1, Stand E39). One of the two primary products the company will be demonstrating is Bloodhound Static, a solution that enables clients to monitor and report in real-time the 24/7 presence of their personnel in a specific area.
The second is Bloodhound Mobile, which creates a real-time monitoring environment for clients that require no size limitation in terms of the area being monitored.
This system identifies any person on duty, their location and the amount of time spent in any specific area.
