Nine interactive experience points set up within the campus showcased video surveillance systems, as well as Access Control, ProAV, Network Systems, and Smart Parking solutions. Participants had the opportunity to test devices in front of cameras in special studio rooms equipped with professional lighting.
Next-Generation AI for the SME Segment
