Dahua Buenos Aires Bus Screening Violates IEC Standards and Dahua's Own Instructions

Background: Buenos Aires Buses

Dahua 'fever' / temperature screening devices have been installed on two bus lines in the Autonomous City of Buenos Aires (the official name of Buenos Aires, Argentina’s capital), as well as on a third bus line in Buenos Aires Province (the region surrounding the capital).
