In today’s rapidly evolving landscape, security threats are no longer one-dimensional or predictable. Organizations are no longer tasked solely with guarding against physical intrusions—they must also contend with emerging public health challenges that can disrupt operations, compromise safety, and affect public trust. The modern responsibility of security managers now spans both safety and health, requiring a proactive and holistic approach.

From global pandemics to heightened risks in crowded public spaces, the stakes have never been higher. Traditional security measures, which often rely on separate systems for threat detection and health monitoring, are no longer sufficient. Fragmented processes not only slow down operational flow but also create gaps in protection, leaving organizations vulnerable to both physical and biological threats. In high-traffic environments, such inefficiencies can result in bottlenecks, increased human error, and reduced overall safety.

At BASEC Africa, we understand these challenges and are committed to redefining what modern security looks like. Our solutions are designed to integrate speed, accuracy, and adaptability into a single, cohesive system, ensuring that every individual passing through your checkpoints is screened efficiently, safely, and discreetly.

The Walkthrough Metal Detector with Integrated Infrared Thermometer is more than just an incremental improvement—it represents a complete transformation of entry-point security. By merging advanced metal detection with real-time, contactless temperature monitoring, this system addresses two critical layers of risk simultaneously. It is engineered to meet the rigorous demands of 2026 and beyond, providing facilities with a future-ready solution that balances operational efficiency, high throughput, and uncompromising safety standards.

Whether it is managing crowds at airports, corporate offices, healthcare facilities, educational institutions, or public events, this system empowers organizations to maintain a safe, secure, and healthy environment without sacrificing speed or convenience. With BASEC Africa, security is no longer reactive—it is intelligent, integrated, and proactive, giving your facility the assurance it needs in an unpredictable world.

1. The Shift from Traditional to Intelligent Screening

For decades, security checkpoints have relied on standalone systems—metal detectors for weapons and handheld thermometers for health checks. While effective in isolation, these systems introduce operational inefficiencies:

Long queues and congestion at entry points

Increased physical contact between staff and visitors

Higher manpower requirements

Delayed response to potential threats

In high-traffic environments, these limitations can compromise both safety and user experience.

The Integrated Advantage

The BASEC solution merges both processes into one continuous motion. As individuals walk through the gate, they are simultaneously screened for metallic threats and abnormal body temperature—without stopping.

This creates a frictionless flow of movement, where security becomes invisible yet highly effective.

2. Dual-Layer Protection: Security Meets Health Intelligence

🔹 Advanced Threat Detection

The system is equipped with multi-zone detection technology, capable of identifying metallic objects across different parts of the body. This ensures that no concealed threat goes unnoticed.

Unlike basic detectors, this system provides precise location tracking, allowing security personnel to respond quickly and accurately.

🔹 Real-Time Health Monitoring

The integrated infrared thermometer performs instant, contactless temperature checks. This is essential in environments where preventing the spread of illness is just as important as physical security.

If a high temperature is detected, the system triggers immediate alerts, enabling swift intervention without disrupting the entire flow of people.

3. Engineered for Performance: Advanced Features

High-Precision Multi-Zone Scanning

Multiple detection zones provide a layered scanning approach, increasing accuracy while reducing unnecessary secondary checks.

Rapid Fever Detection System

The infrared sensor delivers readings in milliseconds, ensuring zero delays even during peak traffic periods.

Intelligent Anti-Interference Technology

In real-world environments filled with electronics, interference is inevitable. This system uses advanced filtering algorithms to maintain consistent accuracy and eliminate false alarms.

Continuous High-Volume Processing

Built for demanding environments, the detector supports non-stop operation, making it ideal for locations with heavy foot traffic.

4. Smart Data, Smarter Decisions

Security today is not just about detection—it’s about data-driven insights.

The system’s digital display interface transforms raw screening into actionable intelligence:

Real-Time Passenger Count: Monitor daily foot traffic trends

Alarm Tracking: Analyze frequency of security or health alerts

Temperature Logs: Maintain oversight of health screening results

This data can help organizations:

Improve operational planning

Strengthen security protocols

Ensure compliance with safety regulations

Customizable Sensitivity Settings

Every facility has unique requirements. The system allows full customization, enabling operators to balance security strictness with operational efficiency.
