During the evacuation of a building, incident managers need to supply the emergency services with reliable information on the number of people who have exited the building. This becomes increasingly difficult in large capacity buildings with multiple muster points, as staff tend to leave the site as quickly as possible without registering.
Irisys evacuation people counting solutions use thermal imaging technology to deliver an accurate real time count of people exiting the facility. By integrating Irisys thermal people counting solutions with a building security system, the data can be displayed on the graphical site plan and delivered to a fire/security control centre, an off-site disaster management centre, or to handheld PDAs for local response staff.
Benefits of thermal people counters for evacuation control:
- Real time count of people evacuating the building emergency services
- Identification of blocked exits
- Highly accurate thermal imaging technology
- Does not require employees to swipe cards
- Integration with building security/management systems
- Compact ceiling mount units
- Works irrespective of lighting conditions
