To help education sector to safely reopen, Hikvision India offers an impressive line-up of solutions for the education sector. Few such solutions include flow control and social distancing solutions.

Public and private managers and authorities have to do more than ever before to keep people safe, and in many cases efficient calculation of customer traffic will be essential. Use of technology can provide a monitoring solution to manage this, giving alerts when more people are present. The information from these can also be displayed on digital signage screens, for scenarios where transparency and public awareness are key. Key benefits Real-time display of number: A clear and easy-to-understand dynamic data display monitor can be installed at each entrance to provide real-time indoor number updates. Automatic alarm: An alert is created when the pre-configured maximum is reached, and an audio alarm can be triggered if anyone attempts to enter before the numbers go below that threshold. Display with mask & temperature status: Optional display of mask and temperature status on the digital signage if connected with corresponding camera and/ or NVR. Easy and rapid deployment: The flow control solution can be easily and rapidly deployed. It is designed to be simple to use and highly accurate, with options to suit all potential application scenarios. Social Distancing Solution This solution uses people counting and 3D modeling technologies to measure the distance between people accurately. The distance measurement can be adjusted, according to scenario, or changing Government regulations, for example. The output can be connected to various kinds of alarm, such as a siren or speaker, making it possible to relay the message to the scenario. For example, an audio message saying ‘Please remember to keep more than 1.5m apart’ could be used. Alternatively, in more extreme circumstances a siren could sound, alerting a security guard to intervene.
