A cutting-edge smart security system designed to detect unusual activity inside homes has been launched in Dubai. Unveiled during GITEX GLOBAL 2024, the system was introduced by Dubai Police in partnership with e& UAE to improve the safety of both homes and properties.

According to the Dubai Police website, the advanced system utilizes motion detectors capable of distinguishing between everyday activities and potential threats. Discreet door and window sensors are strategically placed at entry points, detecting unauthorized access and immediately triggering an alert to a 24/7 monitoring center. A touchscreen hub serves as the control panel, enabling users to manage all connected devices.

Masood M Sharif Mahmood, CEO of e& UAE, stated, “For the first time in the UAE, we are integrating IoT-based home security systems with immediate police response to detected movements. This is a significant step towards transforming residential areas into smart, secure environments”.

The system uses state-of-the-art IoT sensors that detect irregular activities, paired with surveillance cameras that are monitored around the clock by e& UAE security centers. This setup ensures that any suspicious movement triggers an immediate response. The system can also be linked directly to a specialized operations room, allowing authorities to take swift action to verify any potential threats.

Customers will receive real-time alerts through a mobile app when any unusual activity is detected. They have the option to manage the system independently or connect it to a specialized monitoring center for further support, according to a statement by Dubai Police.

As the primary technology provider, e& UAE handles the system’s entire operation, from customer registration and installation to ongoing maintenance and technical support. The Dubai Police will oversee the integration for customers who choose to link their systems to the specialized operations room.

HH Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai and Deputy Prime Minister of the UAE, chaired the first meeting of the Supreme Space Council in Dubai on December 16, 2024. The session highlighted the UAE’s ambitious space plans and took stock of the sector’s economic progress.

The council emphasized the growing role of private companies in advancing space technologies, noting that their contributions are now equal to that of the public sector. Members also praised initiatives like the Space Economic Zones Programme, which are designed to fuel innovation and investment in the space industry.

Discussing the UAE’s space journey, HH Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum remarked, “The national space sector continues to grow and advance, and we take immense pride in the remarkable achievements we have accomplished over the years”.

Sheikh Hamdan also received updates on two upcoming satellite projects: Thuraya-2 and MBZ-SAT. Thuraya-2, developed by Space42, is slated for launch this December. Meanwhile, the MBZ-SAT, created by the Mohammed Bin Rashid Space Centre (MBRSC), will soon follow. MBRSC, a major driver of the UAE National Space Programme, continues to lead the nation’s space-related developments.

Space42 took the opportunity to showcase its advancements, including ongoing collaborations between public and private entities. The company also outlined strategies to promote innovation, boost revenue streams, and create new opportunities for growth in the sector.

The UAE’s current projects build on a growing legacy of space exploration. Back in 2020, the nation made headlines with its Mars mission, successfully sending a probe into the planet’s orbit in 2021. This mission, which is now in its second phase as of June 2024, has been collecting critical data to develop a comprehensive diurnal image of Mars.

The UAE also ventured into lunar exploration with an unmanned mission aimed at studying untouched regions of the Moon’s surface. While the probe ultimately crashed during its landing attempt after communication was lost seconds before touchdown, the effort represented a significant step in the country’s exploration ambitions.
