The Detektor International Award 
is an independent prize and as 
such companies cannot nomi-
nate their own products. Instead, 
the nomination is conducted by 
the editorial board of Detektor. 
This selection criteria is the main 
reason why it has become one of 
the most prestigious awards in the 
global security market. The jury 
consists of members of the edito-
rial board of Detektor from three 
continents.
The criteria for a product to 
be nominated for a Detektor 
International Award encompasses 
not only the technical solution 
but also the packaging and over all 
presentation of the product, which 
actually could equally as well be a 
service. 
The twelve nominated finalist 
products have been chosen on 
the basis of both innovation and 
customer orientation. Winning 
products need to be smart as well 
as useful. Products are divided 
into the following three categories: 
the Access Control category, the 
Alarm & Detection category and 
the CCTV category.
The overall winner in each 
category will receive the award for 
"Best Product", the second will 
receive the "Highly Commended 
Award" distinction and third place 
will be presented with the diploma 
for "Innovative Achievement 
Award".
