Siemens Siveillance Thermal: non-contact temperature measurement at building entrances

With the aim of minimizing the risk of contagion in buildings, this tool improves the level of protection for its occupants and can be integrated with the facility's security and access control solutions.

The Siveillance Thermal Shield solution that has just been presented Siemens Smart Infrastructure allows measuring, quickly, the body temperature of people who are going to enter an office building or similar, as well as visualizing the measurement results in the company's video surveillance and access control systems.

Thermal cameras are used to measure body temperature contactlessly from a distance of up to two meters, thus ensuring the safety of the security staff. In the event that the camera indicates that a person has a high temperature, a second reading can be taken using a medical thermometer to confirm the result.

This solution facilitates 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 building entrances, 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 food plants, where the Covid-19 pandemic has made production more complicated. In addition, This solution can also be used in hospitals or border crossings, among other places.

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

To ensure the highest level of accuracy, the cameras measure body temperature near the eyes. If the result is positive, an acoustic and a visual alarm are triggered. La temperatura se mide para cada persona de manera individual con el fin de asegurar resultados fiables.

En caso de que una persona muestre una temperatura corporal elevada y se confirme por una segunda lectura obtenida con un termómetro médico, los protocolos pertinentes se activan de manera automática.
