Avigilon, a leader in high-definition (HD) and megapixel video surveillance systems, recently announced its expansion into the growing surveillance market in Southern Africa with the appointment of a security industry expert in the region, Ryno Van der Vyver, as the company's Regional Sales Manager for Southern Africa.
