Forehead Fever Scanners

Currently, governments worldwide are trying to reopen the economy safely, and businesses are doing their best to get customers back. However, we’re all experiencing the stress of a further COVID-19 breakout. That’s why business owners must not only navigate the financial and operational challenges of this pandemic, but also provide a safe environment for their employees, partners, and visitors.

One of the most common symptoms of COVID-19 is a fever. According to the World Health Organization, more than 87% of infected reported feverish symptoms. At first, a person may experience a low-grade fever that gradually increases in temperature. Therefore, the first step that authorities and business owners should take is monitoring people’s body temperatures. Public health experts recommend installing thermometers in checkpoints, entrances, entryways, and other crowded venues to stop the spread of COVID-19.

How smart fever scanners can reduce the spread of Covid-19

It’s not an exaggeration to say that during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, devices that can quickly and accurately measure body temperature in high-traffic areas are vital. Even though a fever scanner won’t replace virus-specific tests, it is still one of the best tools for early COVID-19 detection.

A high-quality fever detection camera located at checkpoints and other crowded places can protect the public. On top of that, it takes some strain off healthcare providers who work tirelessly to cure patients infected with COVID-19. Therefore, authorities, business owners, and the public must do their best to minimize the spread of Coronavirus. That’s why continuous temperature monitoring is a preventative measure that will save thousands of lives.

Many public institutions and companies have already integrated infrared fever screening systems for mass monitoring or as an employee-tracking tool. These systems significantly reduce the risk of infection and increase confidence among workers, partners, and clients.

Stationary vs. wall-mounted fever scanners

Now, when lockdown measures are being relaxed, and workplaces are subjected to an inflow of workers, suppliers, and customers, etc., it's time to choose a fever thermometer suitable for your office. There are different types of them, and we'll discuss them further in this article. Right now we're going to look into stationary vs. wall-mounted fever scanners. They both are effective and convenient to use; however, they may have drawbacks pertaining to your business. We mean that for some offices, stationary systems work well, while for others - wall-mounted will do better.

Advantages of stationary fever scanners:

• They come with adjustable height.
• Some models include hand sanitizer.
• They are perfect for self-scanning.

Disadvantages:

• Stationary fever scanners can't monitor a vast group of people simultaneously.
• Distance may influence accuracy.
• It can be difficult for stationary devices to detect temperature accurately if an individual is moving or is positioned incorrectly.

Advantages of wall-mounted fever scanners:

• They can scan vast groups of people simultaneously and detect individuals with elevated body temperature for further monitoring.
• The best cameras can "recognize" objects like a hot cup of coffee.
• In such a case, the system won't send notifications; it'll only alert if fever-like symptoms are detected.
• Some fever cameras can be used discreetly.

Disadvantages:

• The atmosphere temperature may influence the scanner's accuracy.
• The device must be mounted correctly, the wrong position may affect the accuracy.
• Some of the wall-mounted scanners are more suitable for mass scanning and are not very effective as an employee-tracking tool.
