Paxton has updated Net2 software and has six new thermal scan integrations available to boost installer and end user flexibility. Paxton has been developing solutions throughout 2020 which help reduce the spread of the virus in sites installed with its access control system Net2. While researching relevant updates to give Net2 greater functionality against the current pandemic, Paxton established that thermal scanning upon entry to a site or designated area would be beneficial to monitor people’s wellbeing, reducing the risk of infection to staff and visitors.
“Currently in the access control industry thermal scanners are seeing a significant rise in demand,” said Paxton Global Product Manager Steve Rowlands. “This is due to the symptom commonly associated with the virus, of a consistently high temperature . . . By utilizing thermal scanning in combination with access control, we are able to further reduce a building’s risk by denying access to people with a heightened temperature.”
