A new video surveillance system has been implemented at Sofia “Vasil Levski” Airport in the renovated multi-storey parking facility at Terminal 2, in a project delivered by Sectron and Motorola Solutions. The system is based on Pelco by Motorola Solutions cameras and is designed to protect infrastructure with high security requirements.

The solution uses an open platform, ONVIF standard, and advanced video analytics features. The surveillance system enables reliable monitoring of all 930 parking spaces while ensuring full coverage of the garage area. The technology is adapted for continuous operation in high-traffic environments typical of airport transport hubs. The goal of the implementation was to improve the safety of passengers and vehicles while enabling more efficient management of the facility.

The companies emphasized that security was integrated as part of the modernization process rather than added afterward. The project forms part of the broader modernization of one of Bulgaria’s most important transport hubs and contributes to a safer and more reliable environment for travelers.

Kamir opened this year’s cycle of professional events by organizing an educational meeting dedicated to fire detection and fire alarm systems. The event was held in cooperation with partners Apollo Fire Detectors and Advanced, focusing on solutions that today represent a key segment of technical protection across numerous facilities and projects.

Through expert presentations, equipment demonstrations, and hands-on work with demo panels, participants had the opportunity to learn about new products and technical solutions in the field of fire detection. Special emphasis was placed on practical system applications and the exchange of experience between manufacturers and installers.

Lectures were delivered by Alexandra Hristova, Malte Pollmann, Timur Karakas, and Joel Costa, who answered questions and took part in professional discussions with attendees. Kamir emphasized that open communication and direct contact with experts add particular value to such meetings. Strong interest and active participation confirmed the importance of fire protection for the professional community. The company thanked all participants for attending and announced further training sessions and events throughout 2026.

Italian operator Connetta has demonstrated that speeds comparable to fiber connectivity can be achieved using advanced wireless infrastructure, even in the demanding geography of the Apennine mountains. Active in three provinces and serving more than 3,500 customers, the company upgraded its network with support from Aikom Technology and solutions from Cambium Networks. Although FTTC and FTTH networks exist in the area, natural barriers and complex terrain made fiber deployment difficult, so the goal was to reach similar performance with faster implementation.

By introducing ePMP 3000 and Force 300 devices, the operator increased the number of users per sector and improved network stability, while the transition to the ePMP 4000 platform enabled speeds of up to 300 Mbps per user, comparable to fiber connections. The upgrade was carried out gradually, as the new radio units are compatible with existing CPE devices, allowing modernization without service interruption. The compact form factor also simplified installations, including those at hard-to-reach sites.

Users gained higher bandwidth, lower latency, and reliable operation even in adverse weather conditions, with centralized monitoring via the cnMaestro platform for configuration, monitoring, and remote maintenance. Company director Antonio Rosa noted that the operator can now compete with fiber networks even in areas where their deployment is challenging. The project also expanded the service portfolio through the Cambium Protection Pack, providing advanced firewall, SD-WAN, and network service management. The new architecture combines primary connectivity, wireless backup, business Wi-Fi, and cybersecurity protection within a single system, while the network continues to expand and legacy equipment is gradually being replaced.

Azitrend has announced its participation in the international trade fair Green Energy Expo & Romenvirotec 2026, which will take place from March 3 to 5 at the Romexpo exhibition center in Bucharest. The presentation will focus on security solutions for energy projects such as photovoltaic parks, hybrid systems, and energy storage systems (BESS). The company says it will demonstrate protection architectures tailored to the specific requirements of energy facilities, using artificial intelligence and advanced event processing.

The solutions include intelligent perimeter protection for solar and hybrid parks, integration of video analytics, thermal cameras, and radar into a unified system, as well as the GEF (Guard Events Flow) event management concept, enabling clear and correlated alarms in dispatch centers. This approach reduces false alarms and improves operational control.

The presented technology is designed for continuous 24/7 operation at large-scale sites, with straightforward implementation and integration into existing projects, aiming to provide better risk control without unnecessary system complexity. Azitrend invites partners, system integrators, and investors in energy projects to visit booth 114 and learn more about solutions for protecting energy facilities.

Kamir has introduced a new HikvisionCodeks integration, developed in response to the growing demand for facial recognition–based authentication. The new solution connects the well-established Jantar Codeks software for time and attendance and access control with Hikvision terminals equipped with facial recognition technology. The integration delivers a modernized approach to user management, enabling faster and more efficient synchronization between software and devices.

The system supports three communication modes with terminals—local, via HikPartnerPro Cloud, and via HikConnectTeams Cloud—enhancing deployment flexibility. Cloud communication does not require port forwarding, which further improves security and simplifies installation. Users can choose from multiple authentication methods, including face, fingerprint, card, PIN, and QR code. The integration also allows the configuration of up to six status buttons according to user needs, as well as live viewing from the terminals.

Kamir notes that all users who already operate at least one Hikvision facial recognition terminal can request a demo license for both Jantar Codeks and the HikvisionCodeks integration. The company adds that technical support and solution demonstrations are available to all interested users through its official contact channels.

EGAL, a Ljubljana-based company, has presented the latest innovations from AEM, a global leader in cable and network infrastructure testing, with a focus on new test adapters and enhanced software functionality. The key highlight is the AD-NET-PASSTHRU Ethernet pass-thru adapter for TestPro and Network Service Assistant (NSA) devices, which enables in-line testing of network connectivity and PoE power while connected devices, such as security cameras, remain in active operation. This approach allows continuous monitoring of link speed, network stability, and PoE load over extended periods, with precise identification of connection losses or performance degradation.

AEM has further expanded its range of coax adapters with the new AD-COAX-TYPE-N 50 Ohm solution for RF applications, alongside continued support for existing 75 Ohm adapters on the TestPro and NSA platforms. New OTDR adapters for single-mode and multimode fiber have also been introduced, further enhancing optical network testing capabilities. Additional practical value comes from the new BareWire adapters, which allow cable testing prior to final termination, eliminating the need to sacrifice connectors.

Alongside the hardware updates, the TestDataPro results management software now supports both Windows and macOS platforms, with enhanced cloud features including CSV export, analytics, and recertification. As noted by Lisa Schwartz, Director of Product Marketing at AEM, all new developments are driven directly by user feedback, with the goal of long-term investment protection and continuous improvement of field testing solutions.
