ColorVu Technology in Panoramic Cameras Provides the Ultimate in Crystal Clear, Wide Area Security

Hikvision’s Panoramic Cameras with ColorVu technology are powered by our pioneering image fusion technologies to provide 180-degree horizontal coverage with a dual lens, perfect for displaying a full, detailed picture. Available in two models, this camera series enables wide area coverage with 24/7 full color without extensive equipment and installations costs of traditional video security systems.

ColorVu-enabled cameras render vivid full color images and video in dim lighting for enhanced detail, which assists in reviewing forensic evidence for incidents that occur at night.

The Hikvision Panoramic Cameras with ColorVu apply pioneering, pixel-level image registration technology which can prevent image loss, twisting, or distortion of the picture that is typical of conventional line-level image registration. With conventional image fusion algorithms, the fusion image provides varying brightness and color rendition performance with an

obvious seam. However, Hikvision’s pioneering image fusion algorithm can process different lighting conditions for two lenses, providing a smooth and seamless fusion performance. This means better video and images for optimized video security.

This series is available in a turret model DS-2CD2387G2P-LSU/SL and a long bullet model DS-2CD2T87G2P-LSU/SL. Both include additional features such as:

Temperature Screening Thermal Solutions Guide issued by Hikvision

AS SOCIETY adapts to its new realities, both during and following the current public health crisis, innovative technological approaches to the issue of workplace and public confidence and safety will become increasingly important. Hikvision’s Temperature Screening Thermal Solutions Guide details an innovation approach to the issue and it’s one that’s being deployed right now.

Hikvision’s is a thermal imaging-based system designed for the rapid, contact-free preliminary detection of elevated skin surface temperatures. Using thermal and conventional lenses and sensors, it provides automatic alerts when anyone passing the camera exhibits a temperature in excess of a pre-configured range, allowing them to be clinically measured and assessed in an appropriate environment.

The accuracy of the camera standalone system is ±0.5°C. However, the system can be enhanced with a blackbody calibrator to increase the accuracy to ±0.3°C and is capable of screening multiple people simultaneously. It employs Artificial Intelligence in order to minimise false alarms caused by heat from other sources, and comes in a variety of formats, including turret and bullet-style cameras, a handheld version and a metal detector door with integrated thermal camera.

Employee confidence

Hikvision’s temperature screening systems are already being used across a wide range of industries, including hospitals, enterprise head offices, construction sites, Government buildings, meat processing plants, nursing homes, food and drug distribution centres, construction sites and retail stores. In many cases, their use has formed a significant part of the host organisation’s strategy for returning employees to work.

Before any organisation makes a decision about implementing this screening technology, it’s worth being clear about what it can and cannot do.

Thermal screening cameras can detect surface skin temperature on a non-contact basis (thereby reducing risk), indicate if that detected temperature falls outside of the pre-configured range (and so providing a first line of screening for a facility), screen a high volume of people in a short timeframe and also provide an audit trail of steps taken to assist with health, safety and welfare compliance

Thermal screening cameras cannot detect Coronavirus or detect a fever

These are not medical devices. Rather, they provide preliminary screening in order to offer reassurance and confidence for those entering a facility, with the risk for screening staff minimised due to the non-contact nature of the system.

Key considerations

Once a decision has been made to implement a temperature screening solution, a number of factors should be taken into account, among them company approvals, set-up and management guidance, communications to staff (and, if necessary, the wider public) and a data protection assessment.

End users should also consider the completion of consent forms for staff and a policy for screening visitors to the facility.

Who will monitor the screening? Will they need special conflict management training? Will visitors be asked to leave or to undergo further clinical screening? Will a specific facility be required for this further screening or for personnel feeling unwell?
