What you need to know:

  • The cameras have automatic facial recognition and visitor management systems.
  • The cameras are preferred by many firms as they are not invasive.
  • Should a visitors’ temperature be “above normal”, the camera alerts the control room.

As the country prepares for a possible return to normalcy following a reduction in new coronavirus cases, private firms and State agencies are adopting technology to stop the pandemic.

Cameras that can detect faces and fever have become a favourite tool with schools, hospitals and government and private entities.
