The Abu Dhabi Monitoring and Control Centre (ADMCC) has announced the launch of a Falcon Eye system throughout the city of Abu Dhabi, including the Abu Dhabi International Airport, the main islands, and the areas of Bani Yas and Musaffah.
The system, which provides warnings and allows quick access to events and incidents, links thousands of cameras spread across the city, as well as thousands of other cameras installed at facilities and buildings in the emirate.
A statement said the system will help control roads by monitoring traffic violations while also monitoring significant behaviours in the city such as public hygiene and “human assemblies in non-dedicated areas”.
“The system will mainly be beneficial to Abu Dhabi entities concerned with traffic monitoring, and will facilitate the management of intersections to increase their efficiency and limit traffic during peak hours,” the statement added.
Major General Mohammed Khalfan Al Romaithi, Commander-in-Chief of Abu Dhabi Police and ADMCC board chairman, said the system is “part of the vision of the emirate of Abu Dhabi to pursue its efforts to build a confident and safe society, and a sustainable and globally open and competitive economy”.
