Banbros launches UNV and HopeTrek in the Philippines with focus on smart security and energy solutions

Banbros Commercial Inc. has officially introduced UNV and HopeTrek to the Philippine market during a partner and media event held on June 23, 2026, at AC by Marriott Hotel in Ortigas Center, Pasig City. The launch brings together intelligent security and sustainable energy technologies that aim to help businesses and households improve safety, energy efficiency, and operational reliability.

Why it Matters: As more Filipino homes and organizations adopt connected technologies, the need for integrated security systems and reliable energy solutions continues to grow. By combining AI-powered surveillance with smart energy management, Banbros aims to provide local partners and customers with solutions that address both physical security and power-related challenges.

UNV, also known as Uniview, is a global AIoT and video surveillance provider that showcased a wide range of intelligent security products during the event. Its portfolio includes IP cameras, video management systems, access control solutions, and AI-powered analytics designed to strengthen security operations while improving situational awareness and day-to-day efficiency.

The company’s surveillance ecosystem is built for various applications, including commercial establishments, offices, industrial facilities, educational institutions, and residential communities. With AI capabilities integrated into its platform, organizations can automate monitoring tasks and respond to incidents more effectively.

Alongside UNV, Banbros also introduced HopeTrek, Uniview’s smart energy brand that focuses on renewable and backup power solutions. The brand offers an integrated ecosystem that includes solar power systems, energy storage solutions, EV charging infrastructure, and smart home technologies.

HopeTrek is built around its “Less is More” philosophy, which aims to deliver less waiting, lower costs, and fewer operational concerns through intelligent energy management. The platform is designed to help users maximize power efficiency while providing reliable backup energy during outages.

The company highlighted that HopeTrek’s solutions have been developed with local conditions in mind. With electricity costs continuing to rise and power interruptions remaining a concern in many areas, the system offers an alternative that combines renewable energy with battery storage and smart power management. It also helps protect connected devices from voltage fluctuations while supporting the country’s gradual transition toward more sustainable energy sources.

According to Michael W. Bangayan, President and CEO of Banbros Commercial Inc., the introduction of both brands addresses two of the most pressing needs in today’s technology landscape.

“Through UNV and HopeTrek, we are introducing technologies that address two critical needs of today’s market, security and energy reliability. Our goal is to help partners and customers build smarter, safer, and more sustainable environments,” he said during the launch.

Beyond the products themselves, Banbros also announced initiatives designed to strengthen its local partner ecosystem. The company committed to providing technical training sessions, certification programs, marketing support, demo unit incentives, local spare parts availability, and responsive after-sales service for dealers, system integrators, and installers across the country.

These support programs are intended to help partners deploy and maintain security and energy solutions more efficiently while expanding access to enterprise-grade technologies throughout the Philippines.

Established in 1997, Banbros Commercial Inc. has built its business around distributing IT infrastructure, cybersecurity, surveillance, and enterprise solutions. The addition of UNV and HopeTrek expands its portfolio into AI-powered security and sustainable energy technologies, reflecting the growing demand for integrated systems that combine connectivity, intelligence, and reliability.

With security threats becoming more sophisticated and energy resilience gaining importance for both businesses and homeowners, could integrated smart security and sustainable energy solutions become the next standard for connected Filipino homes and workplaces?
