Though thermal video was already gaining popularity when it began to be utilized for temperature monitoring during the pandemic, it still has more to offer. Here’s how its use cases can broaden integrator opportunities.
The company’s AI thermal cameras can be used to pre-screen individuals for elevated temperatures and weapons prior to entering facilities.
The multipurpose camera from Hanwha combines AI with a dual-sensor design to monitor facility entrances and identify potential health risks.
The integrator has expanded its access control offering to manage entry based on facial recognition and thermal scanning.
The new Dahua solutions include hybrid thermal cameras, multisensor cameras, panoramic fisheye cameras, penta-brid recorders and LPR cameras.
The thermal solution automatically detects when an individual’s body temperature exceeds a pre-set threshold and provides an alert to the appropriate personnel.
Using video surveillance cameras for thermal temperature monitoring is emerging as a viable opportunity for security integrators to expand their business.
Honeywell says its ThermoRebellion system can conduct non-invasive, preliminary screenings of personnel entering a facility, as well as validate if they are wearing proper PPE.
Thermal cameras enabled with video analytics can assist with detection of people who may have elevated temperatures from COVID-19 and other conditions.
