3. Installation Diagram and Considerations
3.1. Installation Diagram
The diagram below represents recommended installation settings.
1. Install the camera facing away from the entrance or windows.
2. Place the camera 6.5~16.4ft from the objects (10 feet recommended).
3. Place the camera at a 20° angle from the objects.
4. Make sure people are walking into the camera’s FoV rather than straight towards the camera.
5. Only one person in the FoV at a time.
6. Place the Blackbody across from the camera, positioned in the corner of the camera’s FoV.
7. For optimal readings, the Blackbody should be 9.8~14.7ft from the camera (10 feet
recommended).
8. Recommended room temperature is 68° to 86°F (20° to 30°C).
9. Set up a monitoring station next to the camera with a monitoring PC and personnel. See
‘Camera Connection’ for more information.
10. Always follow elevated temperature readings with additional screening such as a medical
thermometer and wellness questionnaire.
For DW-ESTS installations, where the camera is mounted with a
Blackbody, allow up to 5 minutes for the camera to power up and
calibrate properly.
For DW-ESTCAM installations, where the camera is mounted without
a Blackbody, allow up to 30 minutes for the camera to power up and
calibrate properly.
