How Face Mask Detection Systems Work

Face Mask Detection Systems use AI Deep Learning Algorithms that detect the wearing of face masks in real-time video streams.  The System’s provide real time alerts and voice prompts when an individual is seen and classified, either as ‘wearing a mask’ or flagged as ‘not wearing a mask’. 

Mask Screening Cameras

Many solutions offer ‘out of the box’ technology for quick and easy deployment to help make buildings COVID-19 secure. Mask screening cameras can be installed standalone camera systems or connect to an access control system to allow or deny entry based on whether a person is wearing a face mask or not.

Where can Face Mask Detection Systems be used?
