Nancaimen Community in the Economic and Technological Development Zone in Urumqi city, Xinjiang Uygur autonomous region has started employing facial recognition systems to safeguard community security, the uetd.gov.cn reported.
Nancaimen Community is the first pilot community in Urumqi to use of the facial recognition technology.
Sun Jian, the manager of the Xinjiang Ganzhi Information Co explained that the facial recognition technology can record both the human faces and vehicle registration plates and make comparisons for further analysis.
Sun said that upon setting the time, tasks and area, the system can warn of unconventional behavior, such as that of someone climbing a wall.
