With the suite, security teams can streamline distribution of safety updates, minimize downtime post-incident and improve communication with critical call lists and contacts in one place.

Part of the WizSense Series, the Hybrid Thermal Network Bullet (DH-TPC-BF1241N) and Eyeball (DH-TPC-DF1241N) cameras by Dahua Technology combine an uncooled VOx 256 x 192 thermal imager with a 4MP visible-light sensor for short-range surveillance in an all-in-one package. They offer early fire detection. The thermal imager coupled with a thermalized, focus-free lens produces images in total darkness and delivers high thermal sensitivity that sees through rain, fog, and snow. The hybrid thermal cameras feature simultaneous Smart Alarm, with customizable voice prompt, and white light LEDs when an abnormal behavior is detected. With the addition of Analytics+, false alerts from animals, weather and debris can be reduced so only alerts for humans and vehicles are detected for higher efficiency.

It supports three methods of entry: touchscreen keypad, biometric finger scan or touch-free mobile app. Network and Bluetooth connectivity allows for instant upgrades at any time.

The new BlueFox solution has expanded into occupancy monitoring for social distancing with BlueFox Count. Sensors measure real-time occupancy by using Wi-Fi probes from mobile phones to measure the presence and aggregate flow of people through a space. The solution notifies the on-site team when the number of people in a store or a public place exceeds a preset threshold. A single sensor surveys areas up to 300,000 square feet and all mobile devices located within a distance of up to 300 feet (100 meters) from the sensor and reports how many phones are detected within the space. The range can be reduced to measure smaller areas and “always-present” devices can be excluded from the count with the SmartDetect feature.

A new partnership between invisaWear and ADT aims to introduce mobile safety and monitoring features into invisaWear’s line of wearable personal safety devices, which are disguised as everyday accessories such as necklaces, bracelets, keychains, fitness bands and hair ties. ADT powers invisaWear’s companion app, allowing users who feel unsafe to discretely connect by voice or SMS chat with ADT. A double-press of the button on the accessory initiates an S.O.S. and sends an alert to ADT along with their location, allowing ADT to notify the customer’s emergency contacts, alert authorities and share their location, as well as other personally identifiable information to help emergency responders locate and identify them.

EyeLock LLC’s nano iXT iris recognition reader detects the presence of a mask and can conditionally deny access when one is not being worn, enabling a safe working environment for employees, customers and visitors. The mask detection feature is enabled when the iTemp temperature screening module is connected. The nano iXT provides the technology framework to manage and control the iTemp thermal sensor. Setting the temperature threshold, denying the subject access if they are not wearing their mask or when their temperature exceeds the threshold, are among its key capabilities.

Easy Aerial’s Albatross drone is ideal for long overwatch or surveillance flights carrying multiple payloads in harsh weather conditions. The Albatross is designed with three hardpoints, each with a carrying capacity of up to 4 lb., with the bottom hardpoint able to carry payloads of up to 8 lb.

The bottom hardpoint is designed for gimbaled cameras or large ISR payloads, such as radars and communication jammers. The system's data-over-power tether system enables unlimited flight time while also transmitting HD video and telemetry, eliminating the need for radio transmission.

Invixium added two advancements to its IXM TITAN, which provides mask detection and face recognition while wearing a mask. Rather than rebuild security plans around users wearing masks, current and future users can enable mask detection and face recognition while wearing a mask and continue using the solution's touchless face recognition with minimal disruption. Its mask detection capabilities can recognize if a visitor or employee is wearing a mask or not, and to inform users without masks to put one on if masks are required. With temperature screening and now face recognition while wearing a mask, IXM TITAN is a seamless, touchless solution that enables businesses of all sizes to adhere to new guidelines and reopen as safely as possible.

Aiphone added the IXG-MK IP Video Guard Station to its IXG Series Multi-Tenant Video Intercom System. The IXG-MK provides visitors a way to call a building’s concierge, receptionist or security guard directly from the entrance station, to help when visitors are unsure how to reach a tenant or if they are simply trying to deliver a package to the front desk. Once safe intent has been determined, calls can then be transferred to the proper apartment or suite, or the door unlocked for deliveries. This solution offers enhanced perimeter security measures - ensuring buildings, assets and tenants are kept safe from physical security and health risks.

SafetyTek Software introduced an Instant Results feature to its COVID-19 Workforce Health Analysis solution, a cloud-based solution that allows safety, human resources (HR), security and other managers to share updates with workers and monitor the COVID-19 status of employees to determine who can safely work onsite with team members and who needs to work in isolation.
