Device Placement
There are several factors to consider when deciding the proper placement for TAVIS Thermal AudioVisual Integrated
Solution. These factors include the environment, optimal scan range, and persons being scanned.
Considering the Environment
TAVIS’s scanning functionality operates best when placed in a temperature-controlled environment, such as OSHA’s
standard 68 – 78 degrees Fahrenheit indoor office recommendation. The air temperature may affect two things:
1) The default reading
2) The skin temperature of the individual
The default reading can set off false alarms if the air temperature is within 0.5 degrees Fahrenheit of TAVIS’s target
temperature threshold. By default, this would mean the air temperature must not exceed 100 degrees Fahrenheit.
In the case that the individual is waiting in the room for extended periods of time prior to being scanned, his or her skin
temperature may rise or fall, depending on the severity of the temperature. Extremely cold environments may cause the
skin temperature to drop to as low as 92 degrees Fahrenheit. For the most accurate reading, find the location where the
environment maintains a consistent and comfortable air temperature.
In addition to the air temperature, please be cautious of reflective surfaces and physical obstacles between TAVIS and the
target scan area. If an object is placed between the thermal camera and the person being scanned, the object will obscure
the person from view. There must be an uninterrupted line of vision between the camera and the person being scanned.
Even transparent objects, such as glass and plexiglass, will skew the reading, since the thermal camera will read the heat
being emitted from that object. If possible, position the camera so that the optical field does not include any windows; by
doing so, TAVIS will not pick up the outside temperature or be at risk from the glare of the windows’ reflective surfaces.
TAVIS must be placed within range of a power outlet in order to power the device or use battery pack or PoE LAN. If you
are using an external monitor to view TAVIS’s active display, please ensure that TAVIS has a secure HDMI connection to
the secondary monitor. In the case that you are using ReAX™ to interact with multiple devices, please ensure that all
relevant connections have a secure pathway. For Over the Air Updates, place TAVIS within range of a wireless router with
internet access.
