HID Amico: The Gold Standard for Security in the UAE
As the UAE continues to establish itself as a global leader in smart infrastructure, security is becoming more sophisticated, integrated, and intelligent. Whether it’s corporate offices in Dubai, government buildings in Abu Dhabi, or secure facilities across Sharjah, the demand for cutting-edge access control systems has never been greater.

Enter HID Amico—the UAE’s trusted name in facial recognition and identity management.

Combining Advanced Facial Recognition with Contactless, high-performance authentication, the HID Amico Facial Recognition Reader delivers a seamless, secure, and scalable solution for organizations looking to raise the bar in security. Backed by HID Access Control Solutions and offering Multi-Factor Authentication, HID Amico is setting a new standard for what modern access control should look like in the UAE.

1. Why Security Innovation Matters in the UAE

With ambitious smart city projects like Expo City, NEOM, and Dubai 2040 Urban Master Plan in progress, the UAE is investing heavily in digital transformation. As part of this evolution, facilities are being equipped with intelligent, contactless, and AI-driven access systems to:

  • Enhance security
  • Improve visitor and employee flow
  • Ensure compliance with health and safety regulations
  • Provide real-time monitoring and analytics

This is where HID Amico comes in as the preferred solution for intelligent access control.

2. HID Amico Facial Recognition Reader: A Modern Access Experience

The HID Amico Facial Recognition Reader is built for speed, accuracy, and convenience. It provides:

  • Fast recognition under 0.3 seconds
  • Mask-on detection and liveness verification
  • Dual-camera support for enhanced depth perception
