WHEN THE doors open at London’s Olympia on 30 September for International Security Expo 2025, visitors to Stand D110 will find Hirsch UK making a strong statement about the future of integrated and high-security technology.
Recognised for its expertise in protecting critical infrastructure and sensitive facilities, the company will use the event to showcase its full portfolio of access control, perimeter security and video surveillance solutions. Designed to work seamlessly together, these technologies embody Hirsch UK’s ‘edge-to-core’ philosophy: a layered approach that protects sites from the outer boundary right through to the Security Control Room.
Hirsch UK will be showcasing several of its National Protective Security Authority (NPSA)-approved solutions, underlining their suitability for some of the UK’s most demanding security applications.
Innovation journey
For managing director Richard Huison, who was recently appointed to lead Hirsch UK, the Expo is particularly significant. Not only will it be his first International Security Expo with the company, but it also marks an important moment in Hirsch UK’s ongoing innovation journey.
“I’m excited to have joined Hirsch UK at such a pivotal time for the company and to make my first appearance at the International Security Expo under the Hirsch UK banner,” enthused Huison. “This event brings together some of the best minds and technologies in the security sector. It’s the perfect platform for us to demonstrate the breadth and depth of our high-security capabilities.”
Huison added: “The launch of Lumor and the opportunity to showcase Velocity Central mark a significant step forward for Hirsch UK. They’re part of a much wider portfolio we’ll be bringing to the Expo. I look forward to engaging with customers, partners and industry peers across the two days.”
PIDS solution
At the centre of Stand D110 will be the aforementioned Lumor, the next generation fibre optic perimeter intrusion detection system. Designed for exceptional flexibility, Lumor can be fence-mounted or buried to provide accurate, real-time detection and the location of potential intrusions, even in the most challenging conditions. With its passive fibre design and minimal maintenance requirements, Lumor offers dependable performance and long-term value for security professionals.
Visitors will also have the opportunity to experience Velocity Central, Hirsch UK’s latest edge-to-core integrated security management platform unifying access control, video surveillance and intrusion detection in a single and intuitive interface. Live demonstrations will show how Velocity Central’s real-time mapping, event prioritization and integrated video verification empower operators to make faster and better-informed decisions.
Broad cross-section
Hirsch’s presence at this year’s Expo goes far beyond Lumor and Velocity Central. On Stand D110, attendees will see a broad cross-section of the company’s security technologies, including Velocity Access Control, the powerful analytics-driven Velocity Vision Video solutions and NPSA-approved perimeter intrusion detection products, all of which are engineered for the most challenging environments.
Visitors should also look out for live demonstrations of Hirsch UK’s NPSA- approved HatchSecure hatch detection system in the Live Immersive Arena – for which Hirsch UK is a sponsor – during the show. This specialist solution provides high-assurance monitoring for hatches, delivering early warning of tampering or attempts at unauthorised entry.
Perimeter portfolio
According to Adam O’Reilly, Hirsch UK’s director of perimeter security, the Live Immersive Arena is an ideal place in which to experience Hirsch UK’s NPSA-approved HatchSecure solution and underlines the strength of Hirsch UK’s high-security perimeter portfolio.
“International Security Expo’s Live Immersive Arena is the perfect stage to show HatchSecure in action, demonstrating how we detect and deter real-world attempts to compromise critical access points. The HatchSecure demonstrations will afford attendees a close-up look at its precision detection capabilities and ease of integration into broader security systems and highlight our commitment to giving customers clearer insight, faster response and stronger protection across complex sites.”
Hirsch UK’s presence at International Security Expo 2025 underscores its role as a trusted partner for organisations that cannot afford to compromise on security. With live demonstrations and product launches, Stand D110 promises to be a must-visit destination for anyone seeking to explore the next generation of integrated and high-security solutions.
