Moreover, Expo involves a base built for cities to share information, knowledge, resources, and data.

One Interface for Thousands of Cameras and Access Control Points

  • 15000 cameras
  • 3500 access control reader
  • Fire alarms
  • Communication
  • Vehicle and person location
  • Video analysis by AI engines

As a result, all the details are available at the security team’s fingertips. Thus, the advanced system has made it easy to track and respond to emergencies. Also, control center operators can see live footage from all security cameras. 

Informed Everywhere, All The Time

On-site security personnel of the Expo 2020 site will have access to a special security mobile app. The app lets them monitor security cameras and raise alarms. Furthermore, it shares their location with the Expo Command and Control Centre. This will be used to respond to emergencies on time. 

A legacy in security infrastructure

The security system of Expo 2020 will also support Dubai’s future projects. These include the smart community District and evolution in Dubai South.
