The biometric security solutions industry will be promoting itself to the Middle East market at this year’s edition of Intersec
Economic development and increasing security concerns throughout the region have led to an increase in demand for biometric security products and access control solutions.
Governments and a growing number of industry sectors have been embracing new biometrics technologies, including system technologies that focus on voice, retina, facial, vein and gait recognition, as well as fingerprint matching and DNA identification.
Among the company’s set to showcase their solutions at Intersec 2016 will be Suprema who will demonstrate BioStation A2, a leading-edge fingerprint access control and time and attendance system.
Young S. Moon, executive vice-president of South Korean company Suprema, said regional governments and corporations have been adopting new identification and authentication technologies to boost defences against potential fraud, cyber-threats and organised crime.
“We consider the Middle East as a key market with untapped growth potential,” remarked Moon. “The market has vigorous economic growth, high acceptance towards biometric solutions and a demand for high-end technology.”
AllGoVision, an advanced video analytics solution provider, 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, commented, “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 VIP guests or high net worth individuals. Bank or hotel service staff will 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.”
Other leading biometric security solutions providers set to be in attendance at Intersec 2016 will include Matrix Comsec, an access control and surveillance solution provider, Dubai-based Business Automation & Security System (BASS), US-headquartered Iris ID, Swiss firm Touchless Biometric Systems and WatchNet Access from Canada.
