The coronavirus pandemic metrics may fluctuate week-by-week and state-by-state, but many businesses and other public places that had been shuttered are now reopening in some mode — and that begs the question of how security integrators can help them establish safety through technology. One way is by measuring elevated skin temperatures of people entering a facility using thermal cameras. (See “Taking the Temperature of Thermal Cameras”) Another is by implementing video analytics to detect non-adherence to health safety practices and trigger audio reminders about distancing and other guidelines.
“The industry needs to wrap its head around, and security integrators need to change their mindset, for how they’re approaching their customers at this time, because that’s what their customers are worried about,” — John Kedzierski, Motorola Solutions
