Added in COVID-19
What are the temperature screening solutions available to help protect staff and customers from Covid-19 and how do I choose the best option for my business?
As the government has begun to ease the UK's lockdown restrictions and more and more business’ start to reopen the need to protect both staff and the public from Covid-19 has become the priority. Whilst regular hand washing and wearing face masks remains the official government advice there are new technologies available that can help detect signs of the virus. One of the most recognised symptoms of Covid-19 is a raised temperature, but how do you identify that someone on your premises has a raised temperature?
The answer is fever screening solutions, they work by using a thermal camera to read body temperature and provide a warning to anyone with an abnormal body temperature. But with several different solutions available how do you decide on the right one for your business?
This quick guide will outline the benefits of two popular solutions: thermal screening and thermal CCTV.
Thermal Screening Facial Analysis Solutions
How does it work?

If your temperature is abnormally high is will display a visual warning on the screen in front of you and you may be denied access to the premises.

Thermal CCTV Fever Scanning Solutions
How does it work?

Benefits
- Non-contact detection

It should be noted that while thermal imaging can detect a raised temperature it cannot diagnose someone with Covid-19. A raised temperature can also be a symptom of various other illnesses; however, businesses should still have procedures in place to safely isolate anyone identified.
