BRICS Summit

by Mark Rowe

The ninth BRICS Summit was held in Xiamen, China from September 3 to 5. National leaders of the five BRICS member countries (Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa) met. Dahua provided security systems for the summit, as the Chinese firm did for the G20 Hangzhou Summit in 2016.

The BRICS security command centre, administered by the Public Security Department of Xiamen, was fitted with a Dahua visual emergency dispatch and command system. The Centre’s display wall was stitched together with Dahua edgeless HD LED panels, giving a picture of units under the centre’s control, which simplified control and responses. The security system around the Xiamen International Conference & Exhibition Center besides the visual emergency dispatch and command system in the command centre both used video surveillance and display solutions from Dahua.

A customised Dahua Mobile Solution with GPS positioning and in-vehicle wireless image transmission was installed on 228 patrol cars and 72 other cars from the Xiamen Public Security Bureau which was used to clear the way for visiting leaders. This provided the command centre with a continuous live overview of all areas while providing support for the handling of various incidents.

“Four Bridges and One Tunnel” is the phrase used to describe the various road access points to Xiamen Island, the location of the main Summit. To secure these access points, Dahua employed intelligent analysis, big data, and video analysis to aid the efficiency of emergency command and information technology management, providing uninterrupted HD video surveillance and smart road event monitoring on bridges and tunnels. This helped prevent disturbances during the summit.

Dahua also contributed to the security of other key areas including Xiamen Airport, train station, ferry piers, and police checkpoints. In nearby Haicang and Jimei districts, Dahua set up video surveillance on key routes and sites, for coverage of guarded routes; making sure the leaders were secure after summit sessions. The mobile law enforcement surveillance system assisted the Xiamen Market Supervision Commission in guaranteeing the provision of safe food during the summit. The Dahua Smart Healthcare Solution covered various hospitals in Xiamen, enabling them to be ready for possible emergencies. Dahua also participated in logistics services.

Dahua says that it had been actively engaged in the summit’s surveillance operations since January. During the security deployment period, Dahua reports that it assisted the city’s public security and traffic police departments in accomplishing almost 300 security tasks and ensuring zero device malfunctions.
