IFSEC 2011 Part 1

2nd attempt at this entry, made it to IFSEC (International Fire and Security Convention), the biggest in the World on Wednesday. The show gets bigger and bigger each year and has transformed from what was many years ago basically physical security with an element of electronics and CCTV to what is now a mass of electronics and for me a lot harder to comprehend. This time I went with a list of stands I wanted to visit and with a number of specific questions to ask - wise move.






As you can see from the photos there is one mass of exhibits , from some very large elaborate stands to small individual units - even so the costs for the sites is expensive.

The Norbain exhibits were good and I spent quite some time there with two very patient reps who eventually managed to make me understand what I was looking at.

I was pleased to see Fastlane on site as I had visited their site near London many years ago.

EMCS, Tom Bell and staff had sent me a VIP badge, however I managed a cup of tea on the strength of the badge - no car to park and too much to see.

















Around the halls there were a number of different things on the stands designed to attract the customers, from scantily dressed young ladies, the tubby gent, a racing motorcycle (Tyco); Hughes super touring saloon and the Bloodhound Rocket car - see next blogs.
