ISS releases advanced face mask detection analytics

WOODBRIDGE, N.J.—Intelligent Security Systems (ISS), supplier of intelligent video management system (VMS) and analytics for security and business intelligence applications, released the new SecurOS Face Mast Detection (FMD) solution. The solution is designed to help organizations safely and quickly restore, maintain and further protect operations by automatically detecting when individuals attempt to enter a facility without wearing a face mask, where required, and alert administrators.

“ISS is tackling all the identity verification and identification security challenges that people wearing face masks present to security and law enforcement officials,” Aluisio Figueiredo, CEO, ISS, said in the announcement. “As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, it is now equally important to know when people are not wearing masks. ISS’ new SecurOS Face Mask Detection solution automatically identifies and alerts administrators when an individual is not wearing a face mask and attempts to enter a facility where a face mask is required.” 

ISS FMD is built using advanced neural network-based algorithms to deliver high accuracy with real-time detection, and works with any camera using off-the-shelf computers while eliminating the need for any special GPU cards. 

ISS FMD is one component of a new plan for a safe return to work initiative launched by ISS that integrates four critical components into a comprehensive, easily deployed software-driven solution. Built on the SecurOS platform as it foundation, the holistic solution combines touchless elevated skin temperature detection via thermal camera integration with touchless identification and access control credentialing via FaceX facial recognition, along with ISS FMD.
