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.

"Avigilon's high-definition surveillance solution, which combines high-definition network video management software with the industry's broadest range of megapixel cameras, delivers the image clarity, performance, and cost-effectiveness that the South African market demands."
