Installation
Install the camera preferably on a camera tripod.
Open the flap protecting the objectives.
It must be aimed once and for all so that the heads of persons of different sizes are in the screen.
The field of view (in other words, the background) must be free of windows, mirrors, and shiny metallic surfaces
such as stainless steel; ideally, it would be uniform, like a white wall or a folding screen.
The measurement distance must be represented by a mark on the floor. Prefer measurements at a short distance
(approximately 1m).
The person to be checked must not be undergoing a temperature transition, i.e. moving from a cool to a warm
place or vice versa.
The measurement must be made in a place free of drafts. Keep away from heating or air-conditioning registers.
There must not be any surface warmer than the human body in the field of view of the camera.
Person to be checked
No glasses and no mask.
Mouth closed.
Measurement on the head only. The neck is sometimes warmer.
Face full front and motionless.

1 m
Cursor (temperature measurement point)
The cursor automatically goes to the hottest point.
If the alarm is triggered, check that the cursor is in fact on the corner of the person’s eye or on their forehead. If it is
placed on the neck, the person must hide their neck with their hand.
Make a check measurement with a medical thermometer.
The ~ symbol before the
reading indicates that the
camera has not yet stabilized.
