LenelS2 and FLIR Systems have signed an agreement to integrate select FLIR thermal cameras with LenelS2’s OnGuard access control system
The integrated, non-contact solution joins the carrier healthy buildings programme suite of offers to support reopening and help slow the spread of COVID-19 and possibly other viruses through thermal screening in the workplace.
FLIR specialises in the design and production of thermal imaging cameras, components and imaging sensors. LenelS2, an advanced security systems and services, is part of Carrier Global Corporation, a provider of innovative heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC), refrigeration, fire, security and building automation technologies.
LenelS2 will offer integrated thermal imaging screening and access control solutions to quickly identify individuals with elevated skin temperatures and apply customisable access control parameters to permit or deny entry.
The strategic collaboration will leverage FLIR EST line of non-contact thermal screening cameras, such has the A500-EST and A700-EST, by integrating with the LenelS2 OnGuard access control system.
“As organisations implement site-specific screening protocols, integrating access control systems with thermal imaging solutions is an important part of a comprehensive approach,” said Jeff Stanek, President, LenelS2. “The collaboration with FLIR will help drive our end users’ access control decisions in support of healthy, safe workspaces.”
The A500-EST and A700-EST were designed by FLIR as non-contact screening tools which can serve as a first line of defense against potential health risk. These cameras are part of the A-Series camera offered by FLIR and are registered with the US FDA 510(k).
These cameras provide fast, frictionless screening stations that communicate with the OnGuard system to automatically process and apply customisable access control parameters through on-board edge computing with advanced measuring tools or when combined with customised elevated skin temperature screening software.
