Siemens Siveillance Thermal: non-contact measurement of temperature in building access

In order to minimize the risk of contagion in buildings, this tool improves the level of protection of its occupants and can be integrated with the security and access control solutions of the facility.

The Siveillance Thermal Shield solution you just introduced Siemens Smart Infrastructure allows you to measure, quickly, the body temperature of people who are going to access an office building or similar, as well as visualize measurement results in companies' video surveillance and access control systems.

Thermal imaging cameras are used to non-contactly measure body temperature at a distance of up to two meters, ensuring the safety of surveillance personnel. In the event that the camera indicates that a person has the high temperature, you can take a second reading using a medical thermometer to confirm the result.

This solution promotes the integration of third-party video surveillance systems with the Siemens Siveillance Video security platform and other company systems. The use of this new solution at the entrance of buildings, For example, of a factory, allows security operators to quickly and easily manage routine access control procedures.

Siveillance Thermal Shield is also particularly useful in power plants, where the Covid-19 pandemic has made production more complicated. Also, this solution can also be used in hospitals or border crossings, among other places.

Joachim Langenscheid, Siemens Smart Infrastructure solutions and services manager in Europe, says that "Siveillance Thermal Shield improves the safety of all occupants of buildings or facilities. We also advise companies on their possible uses to respond to specific needs and optimize their security, systems and procedures, and we support them in their technical implementation".

To ensure the highest level of accuracy, cameras measure body temperature near the eyes. If the result is positive, one acoustic and one visual alarm is triggered. Temperature is measured for each person individually in order to ensure reliable results.

In the event that a person shows a high body temperature and is confirmed by a second reading obtained with a medical thermometer, relevant protocols are automatically activated.
