Many countries are dealing with the second wave of COVID-19 pandemic. So, it seems like for most businesses, a major concern is still managing traffic flow according to current social distancing and safety measures. These days it is necessary to employ contactless access control and touchless solutions to guarantee business security.
The world is changing fast, and businesses have to keep up with the latest innovations. Investing in thermal CCTV cameras, touchless door sensors, contactless switches, facial recognition systems, motion detection devices, Bluetooth readers are among the top business security options to consider using during these COVID-19 pandemic times.
Temperature screening with access control means using thermal CCTV cameras or handheld temperature screening devices to grant access when detecting “normal” skin surface temperature.
This terminal has a variety of functions. It provides fast, accurate recognition, even in darkness.
There are eight-channel mask detection and eight-channel face recognition. The system shows real-time temperature and supports multi-client login.
Such touchless solutions are designed for preliminary temperature screening of employees or guests entering such places, for example, factories, office buildings, transit stations, and airports.
Perfect to use in indoor environments, such as offices, airports and stations
It is a fast temperature screening touchless solution. It is manufactured to meet the temperature screening needs of restaurants, retail outlets, supermarkets, schools, factories, public buildings and construction sites.
Barcode and Wiegand technologies have been around for quite a while, but these days they are not as efficient anymore. Barcodes are cheap, but not that safe. Weigand technology still involves contact between a card and a reader. Thus, nowadays, the best contactless solutions would be proximity/smart cards or smartphones.
The popularity of using smartphones as an access credential is growing, as it is much more effective and cheaper option. Smartphones can use Bluetooth, Wi-Fi or high-frequency RFID to communicate with readers. However, BYOD use can raise compatibility and security issues.
