Components for OEMs
When choosing and sourcing products, such as infrared camera cores and infrared blackbodies, to accurately identify EBT ‘Elevated Body Temperature’, each component is key to ensure the overall solution delivers as promised. We have built-up long term partnerships with world leaders FLIR and Santa Barbara Infrared to offer such products.
Our team are here to help support you through your design processes, sourcing high-quality products, solving challenges and making your ideas possible.

IR solutions for manned security
A key indicator of a virus is elevated body temperature, but people may not be aware they have a fever, however businesses and organisations globally need staff to continue working causing an ongoing risk of spreading the virus. To combat this there has been a rise in demand for tools which can be used by security guards to help with preliminary screening as people enter a building. The IR camera’s chosen for such a system needs to provide reliable results and work easily with other components.
If you need a ready-to-use, accurate solution that can be used by a security guard for EBT screening, our team can recommend some field-proven systems all based on FLIR thermal infrared cameras.
Example of installation

Step 1: Individuals are remotely monitored as they pass screening check points set up at an airport, border or in the entrance lobby to a corporation or school |
Step 2: IR camera operator looks at a colour monitor that shows audible and/or visible colour alarms when the individual shows an "out of norm" body temperature |
Step 3: Persons with an elevated body temperature are sent to a seperate line for further screening by a healthcare professional or designate. |
