In many scenarios, people with abnormal temperatures could have a health issue.<\/p>\n<p>To have a proper effect, it\u2019s crucial that this is detected and monitored quickly and accurately.<\/p>\n<p>But traditional methods of temperature measurement are time-consuming and can put operators at risk. At times like these, technology can provide an efficient alternative.<\/p>\n<p>With advanced detectors and algorithms, Hikvision\u2019s Fever Screening Thermographic Cameras are designed to detect elevated skin-surface temperatures.<\/p>\n<p>This means they can be used for rapid and preliminary fever screening in hospitals, stations, airports and other public places.<\/p>\n<p>The cameras have an accuracy rate of up to \u00b10.5\u00b0C, giving a valuable indication of which persons should be further tested for fever.<\/p>\n<p>It takes just one second to detect a person\u2019s skin-surface temperature, and the system can measure multiple people at the same time.<\/p>\n<p>This means it is efficient in an entrance, for example, where a number of people will be passing at the same time.<\/p>\n<p>The use of AI technology means non-human heat sources, for example a hot coffee, are ignored, reducing false alarms.<\/p>\n<p>Once a person is identified by the camera as having a higher skin-surface temperature, they can be flagged for further measurement. The system can also be useful to monitor a situation, providing useful anonymous data from a safe distance supporting end users\u2019 potential analysis or research.<\/p>\n<p>All this is also achieved with fewer people, not only making it easier to manage and more efficient but also reducing the overall risk of unnecessary exposure.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"my-4\"><strong>Flexible solutions<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Hikvision\u2019s thermal portfolio has a number of options to help with fever screening.<\/p>\n<p>For example, a Turret\/Bullet Camera with AI combined with iVMS 4200, a laptop and a bracket can be used as a quick solution that can be easily and quickly installed. For higher accuracy, a solution with a Blackbody calibrator gives an accuracy of \u00b10.3\u00b0C.<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s also a more mobile option, using a Handheld Camera that can connect to a smart phone or PC through wifi to a Hik-Thermal app. This also features a built-in speaker for audio alarm.<\/p>\n<p>There are also solutions that combine fever screening with access control, allowing lobbies to be monitored and, if necessary, people measuring above a certain skin-surface temperature refused entry until they are double-checked by alternative methods.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s important to remember that Hikvision\u2019s fever screening thermographic cameras are designed for the detection of skin-surface temperatures so as to achieve rapid preliminary screening in public areas.<\/p>\n<p>Actual core body temperatures should be further confirmed using clinical measurement devices.<\/p>\n<p>This is just one element of a complex infrastructure to overcome challenges in unsure times.<\/p>\n<p>It can also give managers and researchers useful information, collected in a safe manner.<\/p>\n<p>Hikvision is committed to developing technologies to empower vision for decision-makers and practitioners, and enhance safety and advance sustainable development around the world.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hikvision.com\/africa\/solutions\/solutions-by-application\/temperature-screening\/?utm_source=BusinessTech&amp;utm_medium=Article&amp;utm_campaign=03_April_2020\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>Click here to find out more about Hikvision<\/strong><\/a><strong>, <\/strong>or contact:<\/p>\n<p>Gauteng Province:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Alex Penhaligon<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Email: <a href=\"mailto:Alex.Penhaligon@hikvision.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Alex.Penhaligon@hikvision.com<\/a><\/li>\n<li>Mobile: +27 72 496 8570<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Western Cape Provinces:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Jason Linklater<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Email: <a href=\"mailto:Jason.Linklater@hikvision.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Jason.Linklater@hikvision.com<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>KwaZulu-Natal Province:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Nucky Du<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Email: <a href=\"mailto:duyeting@hikvision.com\">duyeting@hikvision.com<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Jade Wang<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Email: <a href=\"mailto:wangqi7@hikvision.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">wangqi7@hikvision.com<\/a><\/li>\n<li>Cell: +27 60 441 3111<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Keeping people safe and healthy in unsure times is a very modern challenge. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":57,"featured_media":387237,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[10459],"tags":[14819],"class_list":["post-387235","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-industry-news","tag-hikvision"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/businesstech.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/387235","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/businesstech.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/businesstech.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/businesstech.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/57"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/businesstech.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=387235"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/businesstech.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/387235\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":391633,"href":"https:\/\/businesstech.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/387235\/revisions\/391633"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/businesstech.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/387237"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/businesstech.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=387235"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/businesstech.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=387235"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/businesstech.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=387235"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
