Hikvision has announced that it will be hosting its annual Ecosystem Alliance Event 2022 in Dubai on June 22-23, 2022. The event will bring together industry leaders from all sectors as well as leading technology partners and system integrators from across the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region. With the theme being ‘Re-Connect and Co-Create’, Hikvision’s Ecosystems Alliance Event 2022 aims to identify new technology opportunities and encourage collaborative technology development.

The first Hikvision Ecosystem Alliance Event (EAE) event held in 2019 was a success, where the company welcomed over 300 CXO-level decision-makers. With many advancements and developments in science and technology emerging at that time, such an event was the need of the hour. Hikvision has encouraged industry participation and created a platform for more technology partners to collaborate and innovate while discovering new business opportunities. The company plans to bring together customers and partners once again in 2022 at the Ecosystem Alliance Event in Dubai.

Axis Communications is participating in the 2022 edition of the World Police Summit (WPS) and will demonstrate how its market-leading network video and audio products can be leveraged by policing and law enforcement entities and enterprises to serve as the bedrock of a comprehensive surveillance and security ecosystem.

The summit, which will take place from 14 to 17 March at the Dubai Exhibition Centre, Expo 2020, in the UAE, brings together policing officials and experts from around the world to discuss current trends and technologies and to debate topics relevant to the future of the sector.

“We have a strong relationship with the law enforcement authorities in the Middle East and are proud to be showcasing our solutions for smart cities and traffic management at the World Police Summit. Additionally, we are also collaborating with video analytics firm Irisity, to demonstrate the true power of analytics,” says Ettiene van der Watt, Regional Director for the Middle East and Africa at Axis.

Axis will be demonstrating the following solutions:

• Multisensor and Multidirectional cameras for city surveillance
  Multisensor and multidirectional cameras provide seamless 180° coverage with great detail and minimal distortion. With their seamlessly stitched images, multisensor cameras also eliminate blind spots. They are well suited for railway stations, metro stations, and airports and for squares, stadiums, campuses, and parking lots. They’re also ideal for perimeter surveillance around critical infrastructure, public or government buildings, banks, and healthcare centres.
• A smarter approach to traffic incidents and offenses
  Combining high-quality images with automated edge-based video analytics allows the detection, verification, and response to incidents quickly and efficiently. When combined with intelligent automatic incident detection software, the traffic cameras reliably spot actionable incidents with significantly fewer false alarms.
• Audio for security
  Axis network audio systems ensure that important communication takes place at the right time, in the right place, and with the sound quality needed to keep citizens safe and secure. Emerging audio technologies can also help smart cities flexibly tackle issues that are having a direct and detrimental effect on citizen wellbeing.
