Dahua Temperature Measurement and Face Recognition Access Control terminal is being installed in the entrance area: doors, turnstile, or a barrier gate, to act as a checkpoint between the street and the working facility for employees. In such a scenario, we’ve got 3 assessment criteria: a permissible temperature, face recognition, and mask check before a person is let into the building. Among supported functions, there is also entry by individual cards and by passwords, but actually, there’s a lot more to talk about.
Dahua Technology DHI-ASI7213X-T1 is its name, and fundamentally it’s the access control terminal, able to measure temperature, recognize faces, and detect if a person wears a mask, if… the situation requires a person to wear it, that is configurable. On top of that, we can arrange entry by a password and a card… And those recognition status and temperature details are displayed in the form of the event on this separate monitor, from which we can also open the door and call the terminal.
Demonstration:
Numbers / Features
- Face Recognition speed of 0.2s. per face;
- The temperature measurement error is no more than ± 0.5 °C.
- Terminal measures temperature and recognizes faces up to 1.8 m. away from it, that’s a great indicator;
- Stores up to 100,000 users;
- 100,000 face images;
- 100,000 cards;
- 100,000 passwords;
- 50 Administrators
- 3,000 Event Records
And there is an option to enter by a combination of these, like face plus password, or a card plus face, and et on. I can call myself a fan of these terminals. That’s quite a solution: compact, and in some sense, standalone, not requiring any additional hardware. Like a Swiss knife, all-in-one. Things I like about this one in particular are the design, telling me it is solid, a larger temperature measurement, and facial recognition distance – that’s about the convenience. It doesn’t require you to adjust your head position or whatever for things to work. It happens seamlessly – the way it should happen. That’s what I mean by “convenience”. Great speed, good accuracy, and enormous capacities for data storage.
Hardware / Body Overview
From top to bottom – thermographic temperature measurement module, flash line, dual camera module for facial recognition, and two Infrared LEDs on the sides around the dual camera for accurate night scanning. Light sensor and the microphone that makes it kind of a door station, but not actually – it allows a person in front of this terminal to talk with a security guard if they dial it, so that’s kind of one-way. 7-inch LCD 1024×600 touch screen. LED-line, displaying current status with different colors, speaker, and lower–power, network, and a lot of interfaces to connect alarm sensors, buttons, locks, and many else.
That simple: a visitor with no mask wants to get in – nope, young man, but let me get the mask on, there we go, it also checks my temperature is okay. Now the password, let me type it in, there we go, and the card. Great! Although if an unregistered person tries to get it – well, he won’t go further, the security guard will get the notification. And due to that, we can turn on combinations of access methods, like face plus mask plus card, and eventually, we’ll get even more security out of it.
There’s a common question that sounds: “What should I choose? Dahua, Hikvision, ZKTeco, anything else?” They all have terminals, access control, face recognition, temperature measurement, thermal cameras, fingerprints and cards, and passwords. Go with one brand, a single manufacturer. Usually, the security system is not limited to one device. Terminals, intercoms, cameras, video recorders, and the thing is that every manufacturer has its pros and cons, but try to look a bit ahead and select based on the system that you want to get, but not on a single device. And about this Dahua terminal – I liked it a lot.
