With a high efficiency for inspection of fever-symptom caused by Sars or avian flu the camera is ideal for train stations, airports, supermarkets, ports, hotels and other places with flowing crowds
By incorporating an advanced uncooled focal plane array detector with a temperature sensitivity of <0.1C with a high resolution visible camera and advanced image processing software Armstrong Optical has been able to introduce a new weapon in the battle against human borne infectious diseases.
The IR230 is able to take crisp images and make accurate temperature measurement on objects as far away as 50-100 meters.
Imaging quality is unaffected by sunlight, temperature or other high temperature objects whether indoors or out, and with a false colour display the image is easier to interpret.
Thermal images and visible images are shown on the same screen simultaneously, making it easier to track suspects during or following the initial inspection.
A 50Hz frame rate enables the camera to perform inspection on a single object in less than 0.1 second, and a twinkling cursor indicates and tracks the object with the highest temperature in the field of view.
The system will alarm automatically when the object temperature goes beyond a predefined value.
The operator can be sited well away from the inspection area or even be placed in a sealed environment, ensuring the safety of the operator.
Passengers need not stop or stand still to be inspected - the system will take images without giving any pre-alert, avoiding panic or stress.
With a high efficiency for inspection of fever-symptom caused by Sars or avian flu the camera is ideal for train stations, airports, supermarkets, ports, hotels and other places with flowing crowds.
The low cost of the system means that it is ideal for all areas of high-density personnel movement and carriage and could even be used for farm-animal screening.
