- High-speed facial recognition and temperature monitoring to reduce access congestion
- Integration with third-party products such as turnstiles and VMS
Part of Hikvision's Ultra Face Recognition Terminals series, the Minmoe DS-K1T671TM-3XF, can detect the temperature and face of a subject standing as far as 2 meters away. The solution will display temperature readings on the authentication page. When an abnormal temperature is detected, the solution will provide a voice alert and can deny access.
Key Features
- Temperature measuring range: 30 °C to 45 °C (86 °F to 113 °F), accuracy: 0.1 ° C, deviation: ± 0.5 °C
- Recognition distance: 0.3 to 2 m
- Face mask compliance alert
To cater to the current demands in the market, Invixium has come up with an enhancement kit for its TITAN series that augments the device with a temperature monitoring feature.
Key Features
