Using a CCTV camera with “Infrared Temperature Detection” it is possible to detect high body temperatures in people giving a possible early warning someone has a fever and may have Covid-19.
Rapid identification of a fever is a great help to screening and protecting staff & visitors of any business, it’s contactless, easy and fast.
CCTV Cameras equipped with “Infrared Temperature Detection” are actually a “2 in 1” device, they have a standard IP CCTV camera and an additional infrared detection module that can read the thermal temperature of a human by the Infrared it gives off.
Infra Temperature detection cameras that help with the detection of fevers and Covid-19 are known as “ITDCs” and can be roughly split into two options for the user.
Long Range Detection with the Hothead™ Crowd (more than 1M)
These cameras can simultaneously read multiple people at a distance and therefore the subject’s temperature can be read without any participation in the process. Great for capturing temperatures of people in a busy environment where you can position cameras to capture people’s temperature by strategic placing of the camera(s).
Short Range Detection with the Hothead™ Selfie (less than 1M)
These cameras need the subject to be closer and pretty much standing in front of the camera. Because the Infrared detection module can’t read at a long distance, these cameras tend to be much lower in cost than the long distance readers.
