Industrial Grade Face Recognition & Temperature Screening Device with 4G Connectivity

We've been seeing more demand for integrated access control with temperature screening, and this unit form the supplier we've been testing covers both without needing a separate tablet or sensor module hanging off the side.

It basically runs on Linux with an 8-inch IPS display at 1280x800, and teh dual camera setup uses a Sony 1/2.8" CMOS sensor which handles variable lighting pretty well—we've had it in a corridor with direct sunlight and it still reads faces under half a second, usually around 400ms or so.

The temperature range is 30-45°C with ±0.2°C accuracy, which is tighter than most of the cheaper units we looked at, and it stores 100,000 records including the temperature logs, so you don't have to pull data every week.

IP66 rating means it can sit outside in rain or dust, and the operating range of -20°C to 60°C covers most climates we deal with, though the recognition distance of 0-9m drops off past 5m in bright sun—just something to keep in mind for outdoor placement.

We went with this one because of that it have CE, FCC, RoHS, and ISO9001 certs which a lot of the no-name boards don't bother with, and the supplier gives a 1-year warranty, though we usually have stock so lead time is about 20 days or so (check before ordering larger batches).

Most buyers seem to use these for construction site gates or office lobbies where they need both face access and a quick tempearture check, but it's not really suited for rapid crowd scanning at stadium scale—the 20,000 face database is fine, but the 4G connectivity means you can place it anywhere without running network cable.
