LG 8KC5PJ-S (Discontinued) · Replacements in Qatar

Name: LG 8KC5PJ-S 8-inch Thermal Sensing Face Recognition Kiosk Terminal
Brand: LG
SKU: lg-8kc5pj-s
Availability: Discontinued

Overview

The LG 8KC5PJ-S is an 8-inch Android touch terminal that combines a thermal sensor with mask-on face recognition and anti-spoofing checks. It estimates face temperature, raises fever alarms, and can work alongside existing NFC or RFID speed gates. LG has discontinued this model, so SmartRooms Qatar quotes a current equivalent or compatible replacement for offices, schools and clinics that need contactless entry checks.

What the LG 8KC5PJ-S does at an entrance

The LG 8KC5PJ-S is an 8-inch touch terminal built for controlled entrances. Its 800 × 1,280 screen runs Android 7.1 on an RK3399 processor with 4 GB of RAM and 16 GB of eMMC storage. A 2-megapixel RGB camera and a 2-megapixel infrared camera sit alongside the display, so one unit handles face capture, mask detection and temperature screening at the same point of entry. LG has discontinued this model, so this page is written for organisations that already own it, buyers comparing it with newer terminals, and anyone looking for a replacement.

Thermal sensing and mask checks

A Heimann thermopile sensor with a 32 × 32 grid (1,024 pixels) divides the face into cells and displays the estimated temperature near the highest reading. The fever alarm works across a 32-42℃ detection range. Before sending an alarm, the terminal determines whether the person is wearing a mask, which supports mask-wearing protocols in contactless settings. The rated detection speed is under 2 seconds, so queues keep moving at busy gates.

Thermal sensor: Heimann 32 × 32 (1,024 pixels)
Detection distance: 0.3 m to 0.8 m, with 0.5 m recommended
Anti-spoofing: deep learning combined with an infrared camera

Access control and connectivity

The terminal provides an interface for integration with NFC or RFID-based speed gate control systems already installed on site, so identity verification and temperature screening happen during the same entry. Administrators register users, assign access rights by controlled zone and monitor access status in real time from a PC or mobile device. Connectivity includes Wi-Fi 2.4 GHz, a 10/100 Ethernet port, two USB ports (Type-A and OTG, supporting FAT32 and NTFS) and one relay output. Software updates download over Wi-Fi and are applied from the touchscreen, so no USB stick is needed.

Where it fits in Qatar and what to plan for

In Doha, a government office in Msheireb could use the terminal at a visitor entrance where people pass through a speed gate, with facilities staff managing registrations from the admin tools. A clinic entrance in Al Sadd or a staff entrance in an office tower in Lusail could use it as part of a temperature and mask screening routine. A university building in Education City could use it on a staff-only door. Plan each site carefully: the terminal measures 129.6 × 88.1 × 369.0 mm and weighs about 1.7 kg. The optional floor stand pole runs from 795 mm to 1,145 mm high on a 340 × 340 × 42 mm plate, and the table stand measures 304.56 × 293.57 × 45 mm.

The power adapter takes 220 V, 60 Hz input and outputs 12 V DC at 2 A, and the terminal typically draws 12 W. Qatar mains run at 240 V, 50 Hz, so SmartRooms Qatar will confirm the power arrangement before a quotation is finalised. The source data gives no operating temperature range for this model, so confirm the entrance conditions, such as heat above 45°C or dust storms, before installation.

Because this model is discontinued, request a quote from SmartRooms Qatar for a current equivalent or compatible replacement. Free site surveys are available before you commit, and products are covered by the manufacturer's warranty. Quotations are usually issued within one working day, and we accept LPOs, bank transfer, cheque and purchase orders.

Questions about 8KC5PJ-S

Is the LG 8KC5PJ-S still available from LG?

No. LG has discontinued this model. SmartRooms Qatar can quote a current equivalent or a compatible replacement, which suits organisations that already run the 8KC5PJ series or buyers comparing it with newer terminals before they commit.

Would the LG 8KC5PJ-S suit a staff entrance at an office tower in Lusail?

Yes, for a staff entrance where people already pass through an NFC or RFID speed gate. The terminal verifies identity, estimates face temperature and detects masks during each entry, and administrators assign access by zone. Confirm the gate protocol with your integrator before ordering, because the source data lists Wiegand input as disabled.

How accurate is the temperature reading and what range does it cover?

The Heimann thermopile sensor uses a 32 × 32 grid, or 1,024 pixels, to divide the face into cells. The terminal displays the estimated temperature near the highest value, and the fever alarm works across a 32-42℃ detection range. It is a screening estimate, not a clinical measurement, so set your alarm response with your health and safety team.

What distance should people stand from the terminal?

The rated detection distance is 0.3 m to 0.8 m, with 0.5 m recommended. In a queue at a government lobby in Msheireb, floor markings or a simple barrier can bring each person to that distance in front of the camera. A free site survey from SmartRooms Qatar can check spacing before the quotation is finalised.

Does the terminal detect face masks?

Yes. The terminal detects heat and determines whether the person is wearing a mask before it sends an alarm. The rated detection speed is under 2 seconds, which helps queues move at an entrance. This supports mask-wearing protocols in settings such as clinic lobbies, school gates and office receptions.

Can printed photos or masks fool the face check?

The anti-spoofing uses a deep-learning algorithm with an infrared camera to separate a live person from 2D images or videos, 3D masks and mannequins. That matters at a ministry entrance or VIP facility where access control must resist attempts with photos or props. It supports security and crime prevention, but it does not replace trained security staff.

Can it work with our existing speed gate?

Yes, if your gate uses NFC or RFID. The terminal provides an interface for integration with NFC or RFID-based speed gate control systems already installed on site. The source data lists Wiegand input and RS232 or Wiegand output as disabled, so have your integrator confirm the gate protocol before you order.

Which stands are available and what size are they?

Two optional stands are available: a floor stand with pole ST-8KC5PJFL and plate ST-8KC5PJFP, and a table stand ST-8KC5PJT. The floor pole is 100 × 100 mm in section and runs from 795 mm to 1,145 mm high, with a 340 × 340 × 42 mm plate. The table stand measures 304.56 × 293.57 × 45 mm. Accessories are optional, so add them to your quotation if needed.

How much space does the terminal take up, and does it need a site survey?

The terminal measures 129.6 × 88.1 × 369.0 mm and weighs about 1.7 kg. Before you choose a location, SmartRooms Qatar offers a free site survey to confirm the stand footprint, cable routes and mounting height at the entrance. This matters in busy lobbies where visitor flow meets the gate.

What power does it need, and will it work on Qatar mains?

The adapter takes 220 V, 60 Hz input and outputs 12 V DC at 2 A, and the terminal typically draws 12 W. Qatar mains supply is 240 V, 50 Hz, so ask SmartRooms Qatar to confirm the power arrangement and adapter suitability with your site wiring before the quotation is finalised.

Is it practical for a clinic entrance in Al Sadd during Doha summers?

The source data gives no operating temperature range for this model, so we cannot confirm its performance in Doha summer heat above 45°C or during dust storms. Ask SmartRooms Qatar to review the entrance conditions, such as whether the terminal sits under shelter or in an air-conditioned lobby, before the clinic commits to this model.

How would a university in Education City use it on a staff-only door?

A staff-only door in a campus building is a practical case. The terminal checks identity through the existing NFC or RFID reader interface, and administrators set access rights by zone. Facilities staff can register new users and monitor access from a PC or phone. Connect over the 10/100 Ethernet port or Wi-Fi 2.4 GHz, and update the Android 7.1 software from the touchscreen.
