NEC installs face recognition solution at hotels

Network and IT solution provider NEC India completed deployment of a high performance face recognition solution (FRS) at Lemon Tree groups' hotels for advanced security, a company statement said here Thursday.

The solution has been deployed by NEC's partner Target Vision. It matches faces appearing on the hotel surveillance cameras to a database list of potential security threats provided by local authorities.

Additionally, the solution can also be utilised for whitelist management, offering customized service to the VIP guests at the hotel simply by recognizing their faces.

"We have spent 30 years to bring in the level of advancement seen in this technology, which has been globally recognized for its performance and accuracy," Koichiro Koide, managing director, NEC India said.

The FRS can produce search results quickly, even when linked to a massive database of over 1.6 million records, it added.
