The world’s first AI EagleEye Intelligent Patrol, developed by Zenith Technologies debut at Intersec 2023, Dubai.

Zenith’s AI EagleEye Intelligent Patrol embeds within the cavity of the Policing Lightbar a fully functional AI Drone that is poised to take flight autonomously or as manually controlled by its Law Enforcement’s personnel, whilst on city patrols. 

Impromptu at the press of a button, the top of the lightbar’s cavity slides away to expose the skies allowing the AI-empowered Drone to rise and take immediate flight. The AI Drone effectively unleashes an Eye in the Sky- as would a floating K9 – sniffing out crime whilst communicating a 360-degree Birdseye view back to HQ.

Shaping the future of Policing, the Zenith AI EagleEye leverages in-house developed, technologies to offer features such as 360 degrees Situational Awareness, Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR), Make Model Color (MMC), Face Recognition (FR), LIDAR Speed enforcement, Automated Traffic Infringements including real-time detection of fastened Seatbelt and Mobile Phones usage whilst driving.

Additionally, the AI Platform’s expansive capabilities allow for various data training for  Visual Pollution detection, Traffic and Crowd analysis, Detection of objects in the dark and 3D mapping of the surrounding environment. Disparate data is relayed in real-time to the police control centre wirelessly through Zenith’s AI-powered Traffic Enforcement Management (TEM) Command and Control secured protocols.

Speaking about the latest launch, Russell Hammad, Founder and CEO of Zenith Technologies, said, “The target market for Zenith’s technologies is predominantly Governmental, and Security, Health and Safety conscious operators within the community. Our AI technologies have had a positive ROI impact and have built efficiencies in law enforcement agencies and traffic departments.”

The UAE aims to boost its GDP by around 35% ($96 billion) using AI technologies. It will help the country cut down government spending by up to 50%, saving approximately $3 billion.

Commenting on their partnership with the UAE Government and neighbouring GCC and Middle East region, Hammad commented, “We began our engagements with Dubai Police as far back as 2008 when we introduced a mobile ANPR solution- a world first. Due to the success and simplicity of that ANPR offering, Dubai Police has since then expanded its appointments with Zenith into numerous other technologies. Apart from Dubai Police, Zenith has partnered with a number of governmental security apparatus in the region, some of whom are classified regional deployments, but others include Abu Dhabi, Kuwait and KSA Governments, Ajman Police, Emaar, Meraas, Dubai Holding, Nakheel in the UAE.”

Zenith is an Australian company with an established presence in the Middle East since 2008. The 1st Generation of mobile ANPR platforms was deployed by Zenith in 2008 for Dubai Police. In the next 5 years, the Middle East Homeland Security Market is estimated to be worth USD 34.2 billion.

In addition to leveraging an army of foot security personnel, the National Security Services Company (SAFE), identifies with the exponential power and reach of technological platforms. SAFE and Zenith have formed a Strategic Alliance to amplify the reach of their respective offerings to the various sectors in the kingdom of Saudi Arabia, the GCC region and beyond.
