Virus epidemics like the Swine influenza in 2009/2010 and the Ebola virus disease in 2014 has created a worldwide demand for suitable screening techniques allowing a fast non-contact detection of travelers with potential fever.
Optris’ fever inspection system is purpose designed for this application. The installation of the whole system including the infrared camera and its extensive software package is simple. Also it can be re-located and set up in minimum time. The system is password-protected to prevent unauthorised changes. Because of a reference radiator built into the infrared camera there’s an automatic and constant IR calibration of the camera itself. The temperature resolution of 0.1 °C detects the smallest of temperature variances.
The system works discreetly. The software singles out the people whose skin temperature exceeds the predefined value. The visual alarm gives airport employees the possibility to identify and isolate suspects from their co-travellers so that a medical examination can be done discreetly. If necessary the software offers the possibility to take automatically IR image snapshots when a person trips the alarm.
