WINNERS of the Hills and Pelco by Schneider Electric ‘Win a trip to Las Vegas’ competition, including Intelligent Surveillance from Cairns, Mick Martin Electronic Security from Tamworth, and Red Wolf Security Group from Wellington New Zealand – enjoyed a memorable week in the USA, touring the Pelco global headquarters in Clovis, California before travelling to Las Vegas to attend the largest security industry trade show in the US – ISC West.
The tour of the Pelco factory was a highlight for the installers, and a great opportunity to meet the people behind the Pelco product. The group previewed the latest Pelco products including VideoXpert 2.0, the all new VideoXpert Professional mid-tier VMS as well as the new Pelco Sarix Enhanced camera range.
