Fever detection screening thermal cameras

How to choose a right Fever Detection Screening Thermal Cameras?

"When used correctly, thermal imaging systems generally have been shown to accurately measure someone’s surface skin temperature without being physically close to the person being evaluated."

---- FDA Guide "Thermal Imaging Systems" on May 13, 2020

1. What are fever detection thermal imaging cameras?

Fever detection screening thermal camera, also called elevated skin temperature (EST) screening camera, fever scanning camera, fever detection camera, body temperature measurement thermal camera, or fever screening system.

Fever detection screening thermal imaging cameras are specially designed infrared thermal cameras with the temperature measurement range centered around human body temperature, which normally iranges from 97°F (36.1°C) to 99°F (37.2°C), and higher accuracy (less than 0.5°C).
Body temperature thermal cameras have been used on medical research and diagnostic for some time. During Corona virus pandemic, these body temperature measurement thermal cameras have been widely deployed to detect fever patients quickly with social distance. These devices have shown up at airport, subway stations, hospital, office building, bank lobby, supermarket entrance, school, restaurants, manufacturing plant, and clinics.

2. Benefits and shortcoming of fever screening thermal cameras

Thermal cameras based on Infrared technologies have been used for human body temperature measurement for long time. The main benefits of this technology are:

Non-contact measurement with social distance. from 0.5m to 10m
Fast measurement, less than 1 second
Multi-point and multi-target measurement
Decent accuracy
Auto alarm (audio or lighting)
Can work with software for AI automation and data analysis

Some drawbacks of these thermal camera for fever screening:

It can just measure surface temperature, which can be affected by many other factors
High temperature does not mean virus positive

3. Principles and technologies of fever screening thermal imaging cameras

Infrared thermal camera is basically just like a normal digital camera, but instead of having a sensor that detects visible wavelengths, this one can “see” infrared wavelengths emitted by objects observed. Thermal camera can give a temperature reading right on the image.

Refer to Rhett Allain's article

4. Types of fever screening thermal imagers

From a simple infrared thermal camera to more complicated thermal measurement systems:

Handheld camera with LCD screen. More like a handheld advanced thermometer
Handheld camera with LCD screen and USB output for PC connection. With body temperature measurement and analysis software, live streaming and monitoring can be set up. Data can be further analyzed, stored, shared and reported by the software
Integrated dual camera tablet with face recognition
All-in-One thermal camera and tablet bundle
Thermal camera system with intelligent software
Dual camera thermal camera face recognition with intelligent software

5 How to choose a right fever screening thermal camera for your facility?

Depending on how large and how many people will go through the temperature checking point per minute, you can choose different type of fever detection screening thermal cameras.

For small facility such small business office or clinic, the crowd is very small and you want to check the incoming people one-by-one, the handheld LCD thermal cameras or smartphone USB thermal cameras will be sufficient. You can place the LCD thermal camera on a tripod, and set up automatic audio alarm. All-in-one tablet bundle or face recognition tablet will be better choice if you want to add more capabilities.
For medium size and relatively high people flow facilities like schools, hospital and large office buildings, face recognition tablets, intelligent thermal cameras, and dual-camera thermal imagers are good choices with fast measurement and advance software to do screening quickly.
For high crowd flow place like airport, subway station, intelligent thermal cameras with multi-target measurement and screening are better choices with fast measurement and advance software to distinguish a human face from other hot objects such as coffee cups.

6. How to set up and use fever screening thermal imaging cameras?

Usually the setup is easy and straightforward, especially for a camera with LCD screen or All-in-One system.
For thermal camera system with software, one needs to download and install software. For some systems, one need to set up parameters for auto alarm and reporting.
