For locations such as office buildings where identification of employees is required, NEC is providing the Thermal FR option that integrates NEC’s world leading* facial recognition technology and temperature screening. Compatible with facemasks, users will undergo the facial verification and temperature scan at the same time. A scaled-up version of Thermal FR, the Thermal FR Plus, is also available. This solution is able to integrate video analytics capabilities and scan up to 5 concurrent visitors to allow faster screening of the crowd.
