Dubai Police General Headquarters
Case study
A paragon of control room technology
In 2003, Barco was selected to provide advanced control room visualization for the operations room of the new Dubai Police General Headquarters. As one of the most prestigious police security projects in the Middle East, the new headquarters of the Dubai Police General Command is rated as one of the most advanced buildings in terms of architectural design and application of state-of-the-art technology.
The new command and control room, which has been equipped with Barco video wall technology, is among the world’s best fitted rooms, with similar examples in Finland, China, Norway, Germany and Greece (i.c. the operations room of the 2004 Olympic Games in Athens). The room is designed to cope with the expansions in the next 15 years. The operations center has been linked with a network of 1,089 sophisticated surveillance cameras all over the Emirate of Dubai and hooked up with 13 shopping centers and 7 police centers. Airborne cameras also offer live broadcast to the operations room.
Thanks to an advanced 3D model of the city of Dubai, the Dubai Police control room operators are able to coordinate operations down to the smallest detail. On Barco’s video walls, they are able to visualize the prevailing situation in order to assess threats and vulnerabilities.
