Syscom Emirates LLC, a specialist in internal communications network installations, CCTV and other Low Voltage systems, has announced its partnership with Bahrain-based Gulf Software WLL to offer advanced Behaviour Recognition Solutions for CCTV. Gulf Software WLL provides world-class design, implementation, management and administrative security services in the field of information assurance, secure operation centers, e-mail protection, secure e-commerce platform and visual intelligence software for CCTV that can exponentially enhance the performance of CCTV.

The two companies have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) that sets out the terms of collaboration based on the strengths and opportunities available to both Syscom Emirates and Gulf Software. The MoU was signed by Yawar Sajjad, General Manager, Syscom Emirates, and Pawan Josh, General Manager, Gulf Software.

Announcing the tie-up with Gulf Software, Yawar Sajjad, said: "Syscom Emirates is happy to forge this strategic partnership through which we will change the trend from the retrospective analysis of events rather then as a pro-active preventive measure. Therefore Syscom and Gulf Software will jointly exploit the vast market potential that exists for IPSOTEK technology in a number of sectors including Government, Banking, IT, Construction, Oil & Gas, Public Facilities, Real Estate and Manufacturing. Syscom Emirates is known for providing world-class PBX Systems, Customer Premises Equipment, IP telephony Solutions, CCTV systems, System Integration as well as Repair and Maintenance Services. The strengths and solutions offered by both parties are complementary in nature, and this provides an excellent opportunity as well as a solid platform to collaborate and to jointly offer major customers the opportunity to experience a new dimension in CCTV solutions and services."

Pawan Josh, Gulf Software, said: "We are enthusiastic about our alliance with Syscom Emirates, a major player in System Integration and Telephony in the UAE. Syscom Emirates and Gulf Software are both customer focused and committed to providing our customers with value-for-money and innovative initiatives and solutions. CCTV systems in the private and public sector are recently playing an increasingly influential role in safety, security and surveillance. We believe that CCTV is "real time" but does not create real time actionable information in today's scenario."

"Gulf Software's IPSOTEK solutions offer state-of-the-art Visual Intelligence Suite behavioural recognition technology that actively monitors CCTV Systems by alerting CCTV operators of various threats as they occur. It also provides with enhanced post incident video analysis tools for forensics and tracking. Having evaluated this market and studying the opportunities available for this technology, I am convinced that this partnership will help combine our strengths to service customers who seek cost-effective, comprehensive and proactive CCTV Solutions," he added.

Syscom Emirates is owned by M'sharie, a fully owned subsidiary of Dubai Investments. Syscom Emirates offers complete Telecommunications System Integration Solutions for commercial, corporate and residential sectors.
