New AI Protection for COVID-19: VIVOTEK Crowd Control Solution


TAIPEI, May 20, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- During the COVID-19 pandemic, social distancing has become a standard public health intervention around the world. It is proven to be one of the most effective ways to reduce the spread of illness during an outbreak. Retail sectors have adopted several practices such as limiting the number of in-store customers, in-store social distancing markers, investing in protective equipment, and increasing upper-limits on contactless payments. At the same time, an increasing number of retail, healthcare, banking, and hospitality industries have adopted AI-based IP surveillance solutions to reduce the load on manual management while also mitigating the risk of both employee and customer infection on their premises.

"VIVOTEK is one of the few IP surveillance companies that has implemented AI technology into its Crowd Control Solution.
