The
ThermoScreen high-accuracy thermal imaging camera, manufactured by
OptoTherm, measures skin temperature by detecting and quantifying the
infrared energy that is continuously being emitted from the face. As
individuals walk up to the screening station, skin temperatures above a
predefined threshold are detected and displayed in bright colors on the
computer screen. Verbal instructions and screening results are
announced through the computer's speakers and an audible alarm is activated
to notify personnel that a temperature violation has occurred.
When mounted on the mobile computer stand,
ThermoScreen can be moved quickly to alternate locations in order to screen
additional groups of people or to accommodate changes in pedestrian flow.
ThermoScreen is a completely passive device and emits no harmful radiation.
