北京13个公租房小区启用面部识别
Beijing's first batch of 13 public rental housing communities has launched a facial recognition system at their entrances.
北京首批13个公租房小区已在入口处启用面部识别系统。
By the end of October, the remaining 46 public rental housing communities in the capital will be equipped with the system.
Zhang Yu, a resident, entered the gate after being recognized by the system. The whole process only took about one second.
"Strangers who don't live in the community such as real estate agents and salespersons who came to post ads, used to get in freely," Zhang said.
Zhang hopes that the system can stop unidentified individuals at the gate so as to guard the privacy and safety of the residents.
The profile images of residents and their family members were collected before they moved in, according to Yin Na, who works in the community.
The community has also collected information of the service staff from express and food delivery companies, according to Shi Zhibing, deputy director of the Beijing Public Housing Center.
