As organizations around the world begin preparing to reopen and resume business as normal, leaders must take care to prevent the spread of disease. Although thermal cameras do not protect against, prevent, or diagnose illness, they can provide an effective solution for detecting elevated body temperature of both staff and visitors.
While several organizations have implemented mask policies and mandatory temperature screenings for employees, these measures are not enough to protect others from infection. Temperature screenings using a thermometer require the person taking the temperature to come within inches of a potentially infected person.
Mint Controls’ FeverOptics Camera provides an effective solution for detecting elevated body temperature (EBT) in multiple people. When mounted in entryways, these cameras can detect higher than normal body temperature from up to 10 feet away. The person taking the reading doesn’t even have to come close to the person being scanned.
How It Works
The System uses thermal technology and artificial intelligence (AI) to detect elevated body temperature (EBT) in individuals and groups that come within the scanning area of the camera. When placed in key locations, organizations can scan individuals for EBT before they enter the building or come into contact with others. The FeverOptics Camera allows for quick scanning of individuals and groups and can help identify people that might require additional care or attention.
The FeverOptics Camera measures the temperature of skin. It does not require direct contact with individuals. When mounted in areas like doorways and other key locations surrounding high-traffic areas where workers or visitors gather.
Through integrated software, the Camera locates and measures body temperatures in key areas like the forehead and the corner of the eye. Masks and other face coverings do not effect the accuracy of the Camera. In fact, the air escaping the lungs is generally 9 degrees cooler than body temperature. The system alerts users when the Camera identifies individuals with potentially elevated body temperature. Users can then decide whether to perform further screening with virus-specific diagnostic testing.
