This is a shot from the IR stream of a RoboTRAK camera in an IR-sterile room. Other than the presenter's
lanyard, the room is dark. This is what you should see when you view the stream from the IR camera. (If
the camera is not in setup mode, the image will not include the white rectangle.)
In the photograph below, the two displays both show virtually the same shot from the RoboTRAK IR
camera as shown in the previous photograph, but in a different room. The window shades are closed and
the room looks dark - but the IR image shows that the whole room is flooded with IR, and the lanyard does
not emit enough IR to be detected.
This room requires IR remediation.
Certain types of room systems also emit IR, and can keep the tracking system from working properly:
n
Assisted listening systems
n
IR-based audio systems
n
Room occupancy sensors
Turning any of these off may not be an option. In such cases, cover or remove reflective objects
if possible. IR reflects the same way as visible light – an object that looks shiny to you also
looks shiny to the IR camera.
