Motorola Solutions has announced major upgrades to its AI-powered security platform at Intersec Dubai, unveiling new on-premise detection capabilities designed to address complex safety, security, and operational challenges across the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region.
The latest developments aim to help organizations transition from reactive incident detection to proactive, site-specific situational awareness, particularly in environments where resilience, data sovereignty, and operational continuity are critical.
AI-Driven Security Moves Beyond Traditional Perimeter Protection
Unlike cloud-dependent systems, Motorola Solutions’ on-premise AI architecture enables advanced video analytics to operate locally, reducing reliance on external connectivity. This approach is particularly relevant for critical infrastructure operators across the MENA region, including oil and gas facilities, transportation hubs, and government assets, where regulatory compliance and operational reliability are paramount.
By deploying AI analytics directly on-site, organizations can maintain continuous monitoring and decision-making capabilities even in constrained or high-risk environments.
Avigilon Visual Alerts Enable Site-Specific Detection
A key element of the expanded platform is Avigilon Visual Alerts, which allows security and operations teams to create customized visual detections using conversational interfaces. These detections can be tailored to individual site requirements, such as identifying unauthorized vehicles near sensitive infrastructure, detecting blocked fire exits, or monitoring safety hazards across extensive camera networks.
This capability transforms video security from a passive monitoring function into an active operational intelligence tool.
Addressing MENA’s Oil, Gas, and Healthcare Security Needs
Motorola Solutions highlighted that the expanded AI capabilities are particularly suited to sectors central to the Middle East’s economy. In the oil and gas industry, AI-powered detections support worker safety, hazard identification, and restricted-zone monitoring across large and complex facilities.
In the healthcare sector, where governments across the region are making significant investments, the platform enables real-time monitoring of patient safety, identification of falls, and improved protection of critical medical infrastructure.
Industry Perspectives on AI-Enabled Security
Enhancing Decision-Making Without Increasing Complexity
According to Jehan Wickramasuriya, Senior Vice President for Security & Resilience Software at Motorola Solutions, the value of AI lies not only in processing large volumes of data, but in giving security teams more time to focus on critical decisions. He noted that the expanded detection capabilities allow organizations to align their security systems with the nuanced realities of daily operations.
Pedro Simoes, Corporate Vice President for Video Security & Access Control, added that privacy-aware, on-premise AI analytics help surface only essential information, enabling faster and more informed responses to security and safety incidents.
Long-Range Cameras and Operational Resilience Software on Display
In addition to Visual Alerts, Motorola Solutions is presenting long-range cameras designed for extreme environmental conditions, along with operational resilience software that helps enterprises anticipate, prepare for, and respond more effectively to incidents.
