Secure Logiq – Ultra-high storage solutions
The manufacturer has joined forces with Seagate to bring a new “ultra-high storage solution” to the security market. This new partnership is said to provide the ideal solution for security professionals in the Middle East where retention times for CCTV footage are comparably longer than in other territories. The collaboration will see Secure Logiq’s management servers, processing servers and client machines all designed and optimised for the application and combined with Seagate’s SAN storage units which offer large storage, resilience, expandability and vertical integration.
In further Secure Logiq news, the company will open a fully staffed Middle East office in Dubai. The move follows strong growth for the manufacturer in the region, says the vendor, and has been designed to better serve Secure Logiq customers in the Middle East. The new office launches with a Regional Director and Business Development Manager, who was on the stand at Intersec, and the team will be expanded over the coming months.
Secure Logiq’s Robin Hughes said: “With the new office, new staff and new partnership, we are starting the year with a lot of important announcements. Our partnership with Seagate will be particularly important for the Middle East market, and having local support in our new Dubai office will help to enhance this relationship and help us better serve our customers in the region. I’m delighted to be able to start 2022 in such a positive manner.”

It features advanced analytics, network communication security and ONVIF Profile S compliance.
FiberSensys also showcased the next generation of its buried sensor solution, featuring point location, the Terrain Defender 100. The TD100 provides one-metre target detection and adds another layer of precision and accuracy for perimeter protection for demanding sites such as military and nuclear bases, and VIP residences.
Touchless Biometric Systems – 3D Fly
Touchless Biometric Systems AG (TBS) launched the newest addition to its portfolio of biometric readers and solutions at Intersec: the 3D FLY.
TBS 3D FLY is a touchless scanning terminal designed to meet the highest hygiene and security standards, while using one of the strongest and most stable biometric markers in the human body: our fingerprints. Moreover, the AI-assisted hand recognition technology significantly increases user throughput without compromising on security, says the vendor.
Designed for access control in high throughout environments, such as on speed gates and turnstiles, the sensor captures a high-resolutions picture of the entire hand and extracts biometrics of up to four fingers. The process is said to be fast enough that users can present their hands while walking towards the 3D FLY and walking through with no stopping or slowing down.
The 3D FLY sensor captures a high-resolution picture of the entire hand and extracts the biometric features of up to four fingers, resulting in superior recognition performance. This superior sensor technology – combined with fast data processing – identifies a person within a second. The process is so fast that users can present their hands whilst walking towards 3D FLY and through the speed gate with no stopping no slowing down.
Suprema – 3rd generation product line-up
Suprema shared a showcase of its third-generation access control portfolio at this year’s Intersec, which focuses on contactless solutions with the latest market demands in the post covid era.
This year, Suprema will launch ‘BioStation 3’, the upcoming addition to its third-generation lineup of security solutions. BioStation 3 includes improved features reflecting the needs of operators, installers, and end-users and provides higher accuracy, faster recognition speed and a lower false acceptance rate (FAR), even with faces covered with masks. It also includes support for multiple credential options.
Suprema also showed its active participation in protecting the environment. The booth, designed around the theme of eco-friendliness and encompassing Suprema’s biometric recognition and mobile access control solutions, illustrated that contactless access control solves the problem of environmental pollution caused by plastic RFID cards.
“BioStation 3, being the first release in Suprema’s third generation product lineup, is expected to offer an enhanced experience for operators, installers and end-users. Moreover, Suprema will continue to play its duty in environmental protection by minimising pollution caused by plastic access cards through emphasising the advantages of using biometric and mobile access solutions,” said Suprema Inc.
