Covid-19, also known as the novel coronavirus, is a disease that unfortunately has reached pandemic proportions, spreading across all continents worldwide.
Although research to eradicate or prevent this disease is ongoing, little is still known about consistent solutions.
However, it is possible to mitigate contagion through some good practices such as social distancing, using hand sanitizer, wearing masks, and avoiding any type of human contact. In this way, various private and public organizations are adapting to prevent this type of contagion, whether through remote work or the use of technologies to avoid contagion in essential markets.
Through these concepts, some of the technologies provided by the CCTV and access control market can assist the population in preventing Covid-19 and ensuring the safety of assets. In this article, we will show some examples.
Remote Technologies
When we talk about the CCTV market, the most obvious consideration is the use of IP Cameras for security control and remote monitoring. Much can be done through software that integrates video monitoring projects with the cloud. In this way, for example, people working from home can remotely manage some local demands.
However, in addition to controlling video monitoring cameras, new technologies are being integrated into the CCTV market, such as access control technologies. Today, it is possible to find integrators with facial recognition projects that allow for the control of doors, barriers, and all types of controlled areas solely through identification and recognition algorithms. Furthermore, this technology ensures the safety of those controlling access, allowing for remote management and also for those gaining access, as there is no need to touch any surface for authentication.
Mobile Devices
Another type of technology that is already widespread in the market is the use of mobile devices for access control. This type of management is an evolution of the well-known badge, but with the advantage of authenticating visitor users without the need for contact or handing over any physical device.
As previously shown in the following article, it is possible to use technologies such as QR Codes that can be sent in advance via email, or even Bluetooth technologies for mobile device authentication.
Axis Communications has developed a solution that integrates its A1001 access controller with HID readers, allowing for the implementation of the access control solution mentioned above.
Finally, there are several other solutions that can assist various types of businesses in controlling the prevention of Covid-19. It is important for everyone to pay attention so that we can navigate through moments like this prudently, following the recommendations provided by health institutions and mitigating the damages of the pandemic.
