The SmartWater Group’s solutions are widely feared in the criminal fraternity, having helped to secure numerous successful convictions. Some of its claims to fame include achieving a 25% reduction in burglaries in Greater London, cutting stock loss at Homebase by 20%, and helping secure high-profile events such as the G7 Leaders’ Summit. CIAP, video surveillance, access control, forensic solutions SmartWater Group will discuss the benefits of working with the CIAP which collates real-time intelligence SmartWater Group representatives will be on hand to discuss the benefits of working with the Centre of Infrastructure and Asset Protection (CIAP), its crime analysis division which collates real-time intelligence from clients and law enforcement agencies to continually assess clients’ risks. They will also be available to demonstrate the wide range of video surveillance, access control, and forensic marking solutions that can then be intelligently deployed by the ground security team to mitigate such threats. Intrusion detection cameras Products available for demonstration on the stand include the iconic Armadillo VideoGuard 360 and VideoGuard compact intrusion detection cameras, alongside the PID Cloak, a brand new combined forensic spray, and a fogging system. These solutions are widely deployed for asset protection and temporary site security within the construction, CNI, civil engineering, and retail sectors. SmartTag The SmartWater Group’s wide range of forensic marking assets will also be displayed, including SmartTag, a deterrent device for SIA-accredited security staff that has been proven to have a calming effect when the disorder is threatened.  Gary Higgins, Chief Operations Officer at SmartWater Group comments, “We look forward to inviting visitors to engage with and understand the full breadth of our offering. Our portfolio and geographic reach have expanded significantly since IFSEC last ran as a face-to-face event. However, our focus remains squarely on helping our customers to better understand, manage and mitigate their risks.”
