The year 2020 will be remembered for the outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) globally. The highly contagious disease has taken away many lives, especially in China, South Korea, Japan and some countries in Europe and the Middle East.
Dahua Technology has been an early participant in the epidemic prevention and control in Asia, joining the global efforts in combating the virus to minimise the impact on mankind. Since sending its first batch of thermal cameras to the hardest-hit area of Wuhan on 24 January, the Dahua thermal solution has been deployed in thousands of sites in China, including transportation hubs, commercial complexes, banks and other places.
Measuring human body temperature
Hong Kong is also suffering from the COVID-19 epidemic. Dahua thermal solution has been applied in some local business complexes, banks, company parks and other places. To enable a safe and smooth work resumption recently, quite a few major corporations have been using Dahua thermal solution in their headquarters and subsidiaries to improve their workplace safety.
Dahua thermal solution measures the body temperature of their employees, handling thousands of staff flow every day. Compare to the traditional way of body temperature measurement – a forehead thermometer, using Dahua thermal solution will significantly improve speed and accuracy and at the same time, help reduce cross-infection via non-contact measurement. To measure the temperature of 5,000 people, it will take about 4.2 hours using a forehead thermometer, as it takes at least three seconds to measure a person. However, it takes only 30 minutes if you use Dahua thermal solution, which measures three people per second. It is accurate up to ±0.3℃.
“Dahua thermal solution helped us detect a couple of suspected cases in just a few hours of operation, which we greatly appreciate,” a Hong Kong user commented.
Dahua thermal solution has been on the front line since the very beginning, helping with the epidemic prevention and control in airports, railway stations, hospitals, schools and other sites all over Asia. Featuring high accuracy, high efficiency, strong adaptability and easy deployment, Dahua thermal solution can also be applied to all kinds of entrances and exits, kitchens and kindergartens.
