  • Drop in and meet the experts – Gain Independent advice from a Tavcom specialist and industry independent experts throughout the day, free of charge.  If you feel that you would like Megapixel, IP or HD technologies or legislation revolving around the security systems sphere explained to help you in your day to day job, drop in and meet the experts on the education stand.

  • From Surveillance to Intelligence

    Years ago, it would have been significantly more expensive to run an analytic like that — requiring a custom-built solution with burdensome infrastructure demands — but modern edge devices have made it accessible to everyone. It also saves time, which is a critical factor if a missing child is involved. Video compression technology has played a critical role as well. Over the years, significant advancements have been made in video coding standards — including H.263, MPEG formats, and H.264—alongside compression optimization technologies developed by IP video manufacturers to improve efficiency without sacrificing quality.
