CCTV Expo is the one and only specialized exhibition in India for CCTVs, access control and integration systems, and security technologies, The surveillance market in India has increased tremendously over the past decade. The high-level security needs of the people have led to the demand for more refined surveillance equipment.

The Indian government's project to have 100 smart cities, which was launched in June 2015, looks quite ambitious at the outset. While the cities have been identified and work has started on some of them, there are a lot of underlying aspects that need to be addressed. One of them, according to the Smart Cities Council India, is the need for the growth of video surveillance security in India and the development of surveillance standards.

Closed circuit TV cameras or CCTV cameras are being looked upon as a prime tool in improving the security apparatus of a city. According to the concluding remarks of the round-table, 'Technology modernization for Safer and Smarter Cities' held recently, investing in the latest video surveillance technology with the highest-resolution cameras, best quality analytical tools, and highest capacity storage would help lead to smart surveillance systems for secure and safe areas.

The objective of the CCTV Expo is to target prospective buyers and sellers to come at a single platform to cater to the needs and requirements of their entire Safety and Security fraternity, not just from India, but from across the globe as well.
