[Asia Economy Reporter Hyungsoo Park] As confirmed cases of the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19) have emerged worldwide, the demand for installing temperature detection cameras in places such as churches, offices, and stores has surged domestically. NewG Lab has entered the temperature detection CCTV market in the form of unmanned kiosks.


NewG Lab announced on the 6th that it has signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with Dongjin S&D regarding the production of kiosk temperature detection CCTV and will begin full-scale sales.


To prevent COVID-19 infection, multi-use facilities such as airports, shopping malls, and schools are measuring visitors' temperatures using thermal cameras. Since workers had to measure the temperature of entrants directly or identify those with fever through cameras, there was a labor burden and a high risk of COVID-19 infection for the workers. The temperature detection kiosk released by NewG Lab can resolve the inconveniences of the existing method. In particular, demand is expected to increase not only domestically, such as in schools preparing to reopen, but also overseas.


The kiosk-type temperature detection CCTV introduced by NewG Lab can check individuals with fever in real time using a thermal camera and can be used in various ways according to user requirements, such as closing the entrance door or sounding an alarm. There are nine CCTV models depending on usage and functions, including security features such as access control.


A company official stated, "NewG Lab is continuously promoting the transition of the CCTV business to a high value-added business," adding, "We are developing and selling high value-added products such as thermal CCTV for monitoring fire outbreaks and AI CCTV."



He continued, "Since the early stages of the COVID-19 outbreak, we have been actively promoting the development and sales of temperature monitoring CCTV," and added, "not only domestically but also through existing CCTV sales networks in the United States, Japan, and other countries, we have explored sales demand and found that there was significant demand due to the COVID-19 pandemic."
