AI Thermal Detection Cameras Installed in All Community Centers of Seongbuk-gu

Manage Records of Visitor Entry Times and Other Information... Immediate Alarm Sound and Access Restriction Voice Message upon Measurement Failure

[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] Seongbuk-gu (Mayor Lee Seung-ro) installed 'contactless automatic AI thermal detection cameras' at 20 community service centers in the district on the 15th to protect residents' health from the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19).

Community service centers, which residents frequently visit, are relatively crowded spaces and public facilities where the spread of COVID-19 is a concern.

The existing contact-type thermometers posed a risk of infection during measurement. Moreover, it was difficult to manage visitors as there were limitations in measuring the temperature of all entrants.

Accordingly, the district installed 'contactless automatic AI thermal detection cameras' to preemptively block infection risk factors associated with contact. The AI system embedded in the device enables facial recognition and can also detect whether masks are worn properly.

If the measured temperature is 37.5℃ or higher, an immediate alarm sounds along with a voice guidance message. Above all, the system stores the face, temperature, and visit time information of all entrants, which is expected to greatly assist in providing data during epidemiological investigations.

Lee Seung-ro, Mayor of Seongbuk-gu, said, “As COVID-19 infection shows signs of resurgence recently, I thought an efficient quarantine system was necessary at the community service centers frequently visited by residents. With the prolonged COVID-19 situation, we will meticulously maintain the daily quarantine system, which could otherwise become lax, through technical enhancements. We will make Seongbuk-gu a district that prioritizes the health of its residents.”
