On October 26–27, Sectech returns to the Swedish capital with an equally strong seminar programme.

This year's Sectech seminars will once again be led by Markus Lahtinen, lecturer and researcher at Lund University – just as when the event was hosted in Stockholm in 2025. The programme features engaging presentations and panel discussions focused on key issues in the physical security technology market.

These are the English seminars. For a full list of seminars for 2025, visit the Swedish seminars page.

Session 12 14:50 - 15:30

What technological options are available for effective perimeter surveillance?

Radar, IP cameras, thermal cameras, lidar, and fiber optic sensors are examples of technologies used for perimeter surveillance in industry, commerce, and, not least, for the protection of airports, ports, defense facilities, power plants, and other critical infrastructure.

Today’s technology, with AI and intelligent analytics software, has significantly improved the reliability and accuracy of such systems. But how does one determine the right mix of technologies? And what are the legal considerations when using cameras and lidar technology in relation to GDPR?

Panelists: Gustav Norvik, Securitas Technology, Matt Wills, Gallagher Security, Thomas Lindblad, Garda Group, Glenn Michiels, I-Pro.
