The Growing Importance of Video Content in the Security Industry: A Perspective from GSX 2024

Video Content

Welcome to the Pipl Systems media portal!

At GSX 2024 in Orlando, we noticed a significant shift: nearly every booth was actively producing video content, with some brands even live-streaming directly from the exhibition floor. Just a few years ago, this level of video production was rare. Today, however, companies are leveraging professional equipment to capture and share their presence at the event. This shift makes perfect sense — exhibitions provide an ideal setting for filming. Most of the equipment is fully set up and operational at the booths, making it the perfect time to showcase products. It’s a convenient and efficient moment for brands to demonstrate how their systems work, offering real-time explanations to viewers.

What Video Content Means for Security Brands

When we talk about video content, we mean a brand’s team member, often a product expert or sales representative, speaking directly to the camera at their booth. They walk viewers through how their security equipment works, showcasing key features and innovations. Often, these videos focus on demonstrating new products or solutions introduced at the exhibition. The speaker will explain how a particular system or technology operates and why it is relevant to the audience — primarily security professionals such as engineers, installers, and decision-makers. This visual and interactive format makes it easier for potential clients to understand the value and function of these security systems (security alarm, video surveillance, video intercom systems, and more) in real time.

The Growing Demand for Educational Security Content Online

In recent years, more and more people have been searching for information about security systems and educational content online, particularly through search engines. With the demand for remote learning and research growing, video content filmed at exhibitions is becoming increasingly relevant and engaging. These videos allow security professionals — engineers, technicians, and decision-makers — to access detailed product demonstrations and technical insights without needing to attend the event in person. As more of the industry turns to the internet for educational content, videos from exhibitions have become a critical resource for staying up to date with the latest technologies.

The Importance of Industry Expertise in Video Creation

It’s important to recognize that simply having a camera and equipment is not enough to create valuable video content. Understanding the industry, the pain points of potential viewers, and what truly interests security professionals is crucial. Creating content that resonates with the audience requires experience, knowledge of the market, and the ability to highlight the most important aspects of a product or solution. At PIPL Systems, we’ve been honing this expertise for over seven years, producing content that addresses the real concerns and needs of our audience. Our experience allows us to create videos that are not just informative, but also engaging and useful for security specialists.

The Future of Video Content in the Security Industry

Looking ahead, we believe video content will continue to play an increasingly important role in the security industry, not just at exhibitions but also in the day-to-day operations of companies. Educational videos — such as unboxings, product reviews, and instructional guides — can significantly reduce the workload of technical support teams by allowing customers to resolve issues on their own.

Sales teams can also benefit from video presentations to demonstrate product advantages more effectively to decision-makers. However, it’s not enough to simply create content; it must be shared on open platforms where it can be easily found by security professionals. At PIPL Systems, we’ve developed expertise over the past seven years in creating video content for the security industry. We’ve produced over a thousand videos for our YouTube channel and have helped brands grow their own channels, ensuring their content reaches the right audience.
