The Middle East, with its predominance of critically-vital hydrocarbon, energy and utility plants, is set to become an early adopter of the latest AI-influenced identity and face recognition technology as commercial building security rises up the region\u2019s infrastructure agenda, according to experts.<\/p>\n

With new insights from 6Wresearch estimating a 16.6% compound annual growth in the region\u2019s commercial security market over the next four years will reach US$ 8.4 billion, the international industry says owners and operators will employ the very latest technology to ring fence their assets.<\/p>\n

The forecasts are borne out by the commercial security sector at Intersec, the region\u2019s leading trade fair for security, safety and fire protection, which will run at the Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC) from 19-21 January next year. Commercial Security will be the second largest exhibitor segment at the show accounting for nearly a third of the 1,100 participants. Fire and Rescue will be the show\u2019s largest segment with over 400 exhibitors.<\/p>\n

Danish exhibitor, Milestone Systems which provides open platform video management software (VMS) technology that helps ensure safety, protect assets and increases business efficiency says the future of commercial security will be dominated by intelligent, AI-driven solutions.<\/p>\n

\u201cAI is a real gamechanger\u201d, said Amine Sadi, Regional Sales Manager, Middle East and Africa, Milestone Systems. \u201cAI systems can analyse massive amounts of data, which is beneficial for reviewing hours of surveillance footage. By learning how objects move and what they look like, the AI applications can rank the data and make decisions based on it. Machine learning and artificial intelligence assist by analysing data that has not been organised or labelled in advance, finding discernible patterns and helping to search for unknown output to solve problems.\u201d<\/p>\n

Sadi said the global video management industry is witnessing unparalleled innovation by creating new opportunities for the use of technology to protect people and assets, helping to optimise business and the way people live and work.<\/p>\n

\u201cAccording to The World Economic Forum, more than one trillion sensors will be connected to the Internet by 2022,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n

Sadi said demand for smart solutions and machine learning technologies will be fuelled through the adoption of the Internet of Things (IoT) and AI technology. Executives surveyed by the PwC Global Digital IQ Survey bear out his predictions with 73% saying they are investing in IoT and 54% committing to AI.<\/p>\n

Milestone Systems anticipates that within the Middle East, the UAE \u2013 as a proven early technology adopter \u2013 will lead the way in the adoption of AI systems. \u201cAt a national level an example of this is the launch of its National Cybersecurity Strategy, with the aim to create a safe and resilient cyber infrastructure in the UAE following the EU GDPR initiative,\u201d explained Sadi.<\/p>\n

\u201cFrom a business perspective we see a rising demand for bringing AI and business analytics into the projects, which we can deliver thanks to a strong partner base that can integrate leading market solutions to our VMS.\u201d<\/p>\n

At Intersec 2020, Milestone Systems plans to unveil the latest version of its market leading XProtect VMS and solutions and its purpose-built, high performance Milestone Husky XSeries, a high-performance network video recorder specifically targeting the Safe City, Transportation and Retail industries.<\/p>\n

Such is the company\u2019s belief in the potential of the Middle East that its Dubai regional headquarters has been chosen to host the company\u2019s largest event, the annual Milestone Integration Platform Symposium for EMEA and APAC, next April.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Italy\u2019s Euklis, which manufactures technological solutions for security, video surveillance, access control and telecommunications, identifies face recognition as the new industry game-changer.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt has a relevant impact in reducing residual risk, when the intention is to make the access to a critical infrastructure or an industrial site safer,\u201d explained a company spokesperson. \u201cThe key trends shaping the future of commercial security in the Middle East will be video surveillance, access control and integrated and centralised management of security systems on a common platform.\u201d<\/p>\n

At Intersec 2020, Euklis will demonstrate its FaRe 3.0 Hybrid \u2013 Identity & Face Recognition Platform which provides a suite of advanced security functions for automatic identification and authentication of people, vehicles and objects.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is hybrid because it simultaneously uses pattern matching and machine learning recognition technologies and it is anti-spoofing. Moreover, it is the only platform which is independent from the point of recognition, in other words, from the system in use, whether these are VMS, access control systems or PSIM. Our solution does not require any software development by system integrators only a configuration, implemented through an innovative approach.\u201d<\/p>\n

Euklis also claims FaRe 3.0 Hybrid can be integrated to existing systems without the need to replace them. \u201cThe main security functions are monitoring and security, access control, tracking, forensics, face detection, document control, advanced parking, marketing and statistics and it\u2019s possible to request the creation of plug-ins that implement customisations,\u201d said the spokesperson.<\/p>\n

Euklis, which began working in the GCC five years ago, said it has the region\u2019s urban security, airports and industrial sites in its sights.<\/p>\n

Whether exhibitor expectations reflect market realities will become clearer at the Intersec Arena and Intersec Future Security Summit. Here experts will examine the feasibility of securing the IoT World and connected devices and the digital technology revolution\u2019s impact on the security industry with industry focusses on retail, banking and finance, oil and gas, utilities and infrastructure.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s where the transformation pioneers will meet the planners and eventual purchasers,\u201d explained Andreas Rex, Show Director for Messe Frankfurt Middle East, which organises the event. \u201cThese are the forums where the future will become clearer and we\u2019ll all get a better understanding of just how secure we will be and how.\u201d<\/p>\n
