Features an Automatic On-Edge Guide to the Inner-Canthus for Improved Temperature Reading Accuracy and People Flow Through Screening Checkpoints As employees continue returning to the office, travelers start flying again, and fans slowly return to stadiums, technology that focuses on maintaining health and safety in semi-public and private venues remains crucial to slowing the spread of COVID-19. In response, FLIR Systems today announced the FLIR Elara™ FR-345-EST, a fixed-mount radiometric thermal security camera that measures elevated skin temperature (EST) accurately without contact or the need for a reference temperature source. This system provides a safe and effective environment at high-traffic...

The Insights from the Field series features insight from FLIR experts who recommend, deploy, and use thermal imaging technology every day. Join us as we discuss the diverse applications of thermal technology in security, safety, and equipment protection for critical infrastructure. Security personnel must be able to quickly detect unauthorized vehicles and individuals at critical infrastructure sites. Without intrusion detection, entities like electrical substations can be subject to physical attacks. 88 percent of substations experience at least one break-in every year and 10 percent see more than 20 intrusions in the same time frame, according to CIGRE, a global electricity...

Two innovative companies have integrated the new FLIR Hadron into sUAS platforms being launched this summer. The Hadron is a compact, low power form factor that includes both a visual and thermal camera and is designed to enable lightweight and dynamic aircraft. Teal Drones and Vantage Robotics took advantage of the Hadron’s state-of-the-art capabilities to create sUAS platforms at the leading edge of the industry. The Golden Eagle from Teal Drones Teal was started about five years ago by CEO George Matus, who had a vision of enabling unmanned systems to be more than just single use-case devices. Early in...

Upgrade to a Targeted Temperature Screening System FLIR A320 Tempscreen Upgrade For FLIR A300, A310, and A320 Fixed-Mount Thermal Camera Solutions The FLIR A320 Tempscreen upgrade prepares your A300, A310, or A320 fixed-mount thermal camera for use in elevated skin temperature screening in entryways, hallways, open areas, or any place where you want to introduce temperature screening safety measures. This upgrade features a Screening mode that detect temperatures deviations for use in rapid, non-contact screening for elevated skin temperature. Screening mode can determine an average skin temperature based on a sample of people from the testing location and then identify...

Building a First Line of Defense with Thermal Imaging Cameras Elevated skin temperature screening with a thermal imaging can help offices, businesses, factories, and other operations avoid work and production interruptions due to COVID-19. By screening each person for elevated skin temperature before they enter a building, you can determine who needs a medical check for fever, which can be a sign of infection. It’s an easy and efficient way help reduce the risk of spreading the virus. Options for High-Traffic Areas Protective measures such as disinfecting equipment, requiring six feet of distance between people, or any of the other...
