With growing concerns over the COVID-19 coronavirus, Motorola Solutions and its Avigilon brand have released a statement on their decision to pull out of this year's ISC West.

The trade show, one of the biggest in the security industry, hosts over 30,000 security professionals and over 1000 exhibitors each year. 

The company states: "After careful consideration, we have withdrawn from this year’s ISC West trade show due to the widespread impact of the coronavirus."
