Fever screening and temperature screening cameras

Are Hikvision’s temperature screening cameras & thermal imaging solutions the future of managing the safety of your workforce?

Will an investment in temperature screening camera systems & thermal imaging solutions become the norm for businesses looking to run a safe, productive workplace?

If you asked us these questions in early 2020, we’d be scratching our heads, wondering why you asked. Fast forward a few months and the answer is becoming clearer.

Hikvision is a global leader in the security industry. Here at Safeguard Systems, we’ve been working with this security systems manufacturer for years. With an extensive research and development (R&D) workforce, Hikvision is constantly innovating its product portfolio.

Thermal imaging and temperature screening CCTV systems have been around for years.

Due to the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, these security solutions have been developed to provide businesses with the means to scan all staff and visitors for abnormally high temperatures. Businesses, such as Amazon have started using these solutions to screen workers for Coronavirus symptoms.

How do Hikvision’s temperature screening cameras & thermal imaging solutions work?

Here’s the technical wording from the Hikvsision website:

“With advanced detectors and algorithms, Hikvision’s Temperature Screening Thermographic Cameras are designed to detect elevated skin-surface temperatures, and can thus be used for rapid and preliminary temperature screening in office buildings, factories, stations, airports and other public places, with accuracy up to ±0.3°C.”

If you’re not a technical person, here’s a short video explaining how Hikvision’s temperature screening cameras & thermal imaging solutions work. Before watching here’s a simple overview of how the systems work:

  1. Staff, suppliers and other visitors arrive at your premises or site
  2. As they enter, the temperature screening cameras scan them for an abnormally high temperature
  3. If their temperature is high, the system raises an alert
  4. Their temperature is checked manually and the decision is made whether it is safe for them to enter your premises

What type of businesses would benefit from temperature screening camera systems & thermal imaging solutions?

As we begin the process of exiting lockdown, with people heading back to work, companies are putting provisions in place to help protect their workforce and businesses from the ongoing threat posed by this current pandemic.

High footfall premises such as hotels, office-based businesses, construction sites, airports, warehouses, factories, and schools are all concerned about the impact of COVID-19.

These businesses will be considering an investment in temperature screening cameras & thermal imaging solutions.

Why?

Staff, pupil, and visitor safety – the world has changed and people are fearful of going back to work. Children will be going back to school and parents will be worried. Particularly after many have been at home worrying about this virus. Temperature screening cameras & thermal imaging solutions are a means to ease worries by highlighting any potential health risks with a business or organisation.

Reduce stress, anxiety, and improve productivity – if people feel safer at work, visiting an establishment, or going to school they are likely to be more productive. Employers who act to reduce on-site anxiety and stress may benefit from a more productive workforce.

Encourage the return of customers, guests, and visitors to the business – right now, would you be more likely to work or visit somewhere that screens anyone who enters for a temperature? Due to this current pandemic, people are scared. The future is unknown for so many people. Businesses who invest in temperature screening cameras & thermal imaging solutions may benefit from their staff, customers, and visitors feeling the security of being ‘less at risk’ from becoming ill or being around people running a temperature.
