AllGoVision will showcase its 3D Facial Recognition System, which uses facial recognition technology via IP video surveillance to compare facial features with a database of stored facial features to identify potential threats – or a VIP customer. Ashwin Amarapur, Director of AllGoVision, explained: “In city surveillance, the 3D Facial Recognition System is used to identify Black Listed people or known criminals, but in the case of hospitality or banking the use relates more to ‘White Lists’ – for example, visitors identified as a VIP guests or high net worth individuals. “The bank or hotel service staff would be alerted of their arrival in advance and can take necessary care of the valued customer or display an automated welcome note in the electronic board at the entrance,” added Amarapur. Matrix Comsec At Intersec Elsewhere, Matrix Comsec, an access control and surveillance solution provider, is returning to Intersec 2016 following their successful participation in 2015, where they secured business from the National Bank of Umm Al Quwain, having installed Time and Attendance Systems across the UAE bank’s entire branch network. The Indian-based company has also been involved in setting up surveillance and biometric access control systems across the Gulf region in the last year, including for the Kuwait Oil Company, Paris Group in Dubai, and Vodafone in Qatar. Abhay Joshi, Business Manager for International Security Sales at Matrix Comsec, commented on the future of biometrics in the Middle East: “Biometric technology has many advantages over traditional RFID card and password in terms of security and the ease of use that it provides. The new technology has found various applications across different verticals and is replacing the traditional security measures at a fast pace.” Exhibitors At The Event Other headline exhibitors at Intersec 2016 with biometric security solutions include the Dubai-headquartered Business Automation & Security System (BASS), Iris ID from the USA, Swiss company Touchless Biometric Systems and WatchNet Access from Canada. “In the not-to-distant future, everyone in the Middle East could soon replace pin codes with finger prints or Iris scans at an ATM when withdrawing money,” said Ahmed Pauwels, CEO of Messe Frankfurt Middle East, the organiser of Intersec. “The possibilities offered by biometric security technologies are vast, whether for government purposes or for the various range of industry verticals, and they’ll all share the spotlight when Intersec returns in early 2016.” Now in its 18th edition, Intersec 2016 will feature more than 1,300 exhibitors from 52 countries, spanning over 50,000sqm. The annual showpiece event focuses on the six core sections of Commercial Security; Information Security; Fire & Rescue; Safety & Health; Homeland Security & Policing; and for the first time in 2016, Smart Home and Building Automation.
