Hikvision Millimeter Wave Body Scanning Security System: A New Dimension in Security

Today's security threats can be controlled more quickly and effectively thanks to developing technologies. In this context, one of the technologies that has come to the fore in recent years is millimeter wave (mmWave) body scanners. Hikvision's innovative systems in this field provide the detection and prevention of threats by taking security measures to the highest level. This article will detail what a millimeter wave body scanner is, how it works, the security threats it can detect, and its areas of use.

What is a Millimeter Wave Body Scanner?

A millimeter wave body scanner is a device used at security checkpoints and is a system that can detect metal, plastic, ceramic, and similar objects on people. The term "millimeter wave" refers to radio waves in the frequency range of approximately 30 to 300 GHz, which is between microwave and infrared waves of the electromagnetic spectrum. These wavelengths can detect hidden objects by scanning not only through clothing but also in depth. Hikvision’s mmWave scanners can blur private areas while providing high-resolution scanning, while also protecting people’s privacy. This allows security processes to be completed more quickly and effectively by focusing only on objects that may pose a security threat.

Millimeter Wave Body Scanner Working Principle

Millimeter wave technology is based on the reflection of electromagnetic waves from the human body and clothing. The device sends high-frequency waves, receives the reflections that hit the body and analyzes these signals to create images. These images are interpreted by special software, and abnormal objects or objects that may be a threat are determined.

Passive Operation: Millimeter wave scanners work by evaluating only the reflections. In this way, they provide a safe scan without using ionizing radiation such as X-ray.

High Resolution: The locations and sizes of suspicious objects can be determined with high-resolution images.

Fast Scanning Time: The scanning process is usually completed in seconds. This is a great advantage especially in areas with high human traffic.

What Can Be Detected with a Millimeter Wave Body Scanner?

Millimeter wave technology can effectively detect objects hidden under clothing. These devices can identify metal and non-metallic objects, which allows them to be used against a wide range of threats.

Here are some of the items that can be detected:

Metal Objects: Guns, knives or other dangerous metal objects.

Non-Metal Objects: Materials that metal detectors cannot detect, such as explosives, drugs, ceramic knives or plastic weapons.

Explosives: Ability to detect hidden or worn explosives.

Other Prohibited Items: Electronic devices or any object prohibited in special areas.

Usage Areas of Millimeter Wave Body Scanners

Millimeter wave body scanners are used in many areas where security must be maintained at a high level. Airports, public buildings and stadiums are the most important of these areas. Let's take a closer look at the areas where millimeter wave scanners are used:

Airports: Allows for the rapid detection of hidden dangerous objects while ensuring passenger and baggage security.

Public Buildings: Security levels can be increased in courthouses, ministries and municipal buildings.

Event Areas and Stadiums: Scanning can be done against suspicious objects entering events such as sports competitions and concerts with heavy human traffic.

Shopping Malls: It is used in large shopping malls or shopping festivals to control crowds and reduce security risks.

Private Institutions and Companies: It is preferred to increase the security level in companies where important data or materials are located.

Result: New Standards in Security

Hikvision's millimeter wave body scanning security system offers an effective solution to meet public and private security requirements. Fast, reliable and easy to use, this technology makes security measures more effective and efficient. In the face of the increasing variety and complexity of security threats, millimeter wave technology offers a strong layer of protection for personal security, public security and private property security.

Integrating this technology into the security strategies of institutions and organizations is an important step to provide a safer environment.
