• Smart Cities
• Transportation
• Retail
• Manufacturing
• Healthcare
• Critical Infrastructure

AvidBeam at Intersec Dubai 2026

In this regard, Dr. Hani ElGebaly, Founder and CEO of AvidBeam, headed the company’s delegation, which also included Ahmed Elzoghby, Global Sales Director; Sherif El Husseiny, Sales Manager; and Ahmed Hafez, Senior Application Deployment Engineer.

From ACIX MIDDLE EAST (booth S2-G3) on January 14, the team demonstrated live demos of how artificial intelligence in AvidBeam’s solution suite transforms security operations across multiple sectors, focusing on the topics that Intersec Dubai 2026 placed at the top of its priorities.

Regarding this participation, Dr. Hani ElGebaly stated: “From our experience in the Gulf and Middle East market, we know well the security and efficiency challenges facing companies and institutions across all sectors. What we present at the 27th edition of Intersec Dubai is the result of years of research, development, and implementation in complex environments across the region.”

Intersec Dubai 2026: the 27th Edition

Intersec Dubai 2026 was held under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Mansour bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, and the event brought together more than 1,400 exhibitors from over 60 countries (and 140 visiting countries), and welcomed over 50,000 trade visitors. Therefore, Messe Frankfurt Middle East (the leader in organizing exhibitions and conferences) expanded the exhibition space by 13% and added two new halls to reach a total area of 67,000 square meters in response to record demand from the safety and fire protection sectors.

Also, the five main categories displayed at this international event were determined, which included:

• Commercial & Perimeter Security
• Cybersecurity
• Homeland Security & Policing
• Fire & Rescue
• Safety & Health

In four of these categories, AvidBeam team will showcased its intelligent solutions in facing challenges, including:

1. Commercial & Perimeter Security

AvidBeam understands that commercial facilities and critical infrastructure sites face difficulties with perimeter breaches and unauthorized access attempts. Traditional surveillance systems require continuous human monitoring, which creates vulnerabilities in facility protection and increases operational costs (unfortunately, security teams often respond to incidents after they occur rather than preventing them).

Accordingly, AvidBeam addresses these challenges through AvidGuard, which provides real-time intrusion detection and perimeter protection powered by artificial intelligence. Among its many capabilities, the system:

• Prevents Unauthorized Access: Identifies intrusion attempts at facility boundaries before security breaches occur
• Monitors Behavior: Detects loitering as well as threat detection and monitors weapons and anomalies across surveillance zones
• Establishes Virtual Perimeters: Creates intelligent boundaries around sensitive areas with instant alerts when crossed
• Accelerates Investigation: Reduces incident review time from hours to minutes through automated video search capabilities

2. Homeland Security & Policing

There are endless challenges facing law enforcement and homeland security agencies, which AvidBeam addresses with its list of intelligent solutions that includes:

1. AvidGuard specializes in safety and security with intrusion detection, perimeter protection, and threat monitoring (detects fire, smoke, and hazards with automatic alerts to response teams)
2. AvidAuto specializes in vehicle and traffic management with license plate recognition and access control (the ability to quickly search for the model and color of the violating vehicle and grant or deny access to any location)
3. AvidFace specializes in facial recognition and access control with watchlist management (the system enables law enforcement by tracking individuals across multiple cameras with facial recognition capabilities)
4. AvidSight specializes in behavioral analytics, event and crowd management, and operational optimization for visitor counting (monitors density and movement patterns to identify potential security risks before they develop)
5. AvidGenAI specializes in generative artificial intelligence for security operations (enables security personnel to search footage, generate reports, and extract insights through conversational commands)

3. Fire & Rescue

Moving to emergency response, the essence of the problem lies in many facilities lacking automated detection systems that integrate with existing surveillance infrastructure. Delayed fire and smoke detection leads to increased property damage and loss of life, or at least disruption of production operations. For this reason, AvidBeam will showcase the capabilities of its intelligent solutions in improving proactive security operations through:

• Differentiating between actual smoke that warns of a problem and any smoke from water vapor or resulting from other operational processes (no false alarms that disrupt production flow)
• Immediate Hazard Detection: Identifying fire, smoke, and environmental threats across facility camera networks through AvidBeam platforms
• Evacuation Route Monitoring: Tracking pathway safety to ensure safe passages during emergencies
• Access Point Analysis: Identifying closed exits or entry points that hinder rescue operations
• Archival Documentation: Maintaining incident records for post-event analysis and training purposes

4. Safety & Health

On the compliance front, organizations face regulatory requirements to maintain safe work environments while managing practical challenges of monitoring across large facilities with limited safety personnel. AvidBeam supports workplace safety programs through video analytics that:

• Monitors Personal Protective Equipment Compliance: Automatically detects personal protective equipment violations
• Controls Restricted Areas: Prevents unauthorized persons from entering hazardous zones
• Identifies Unsafe Behavior: Recognizes high-risk activities such as working at heights without proper precautions
• Provides Automated Violation Alerts: Generates instant notifications when safety breaches occur

Looking at the broader context, Intersec Dubai 2026 focuses on developing emergency response capabilities and securing digital and physical infrastructure in line with the United Arab Emirates’ vision for a safe and sustainable future, after the UAE received the ranking of the world’s safest country for 2025 according to Numbeo.
