Vodafone launches heat-detecting cameras to protect offices from Covid-19
UK based mobile telecommunications company, Vodafone has launched a heat-detecting, temperature screening camera designed to screen employees, customers and visitors.
Anyone coming into a building will be screened for signs they may be running a temperature, and potentially be infected with the Coronavirus, Covid-19.
Vodafone’s cameras can check the temperature of up to 100 people per minute with the images being streamed securely to a desktop computer, laptop, or smart device.
If elevated temperatures are detected, an alert is sent to the system operator of the camera to help them identify people who may have the infection.
