Now equipped with Realtime Fever Scanning, will CCTV Operators in the UK be able to help contain the Coronavirus?<\/strong>
<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What does this mean for CCTV Operators? <\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The camera will act as a thermal imager and have the ability to sound an alarm when it reads a temperature that is defined as \u2018dangerous\u2019 on a subject. 
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Additional companies such as Bullitt and Vodafone UK have contributed their developments, producing camera products that are designed to capture the temperature of individuals from a distance. 
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vodafone UK claims that \u201ceach camera can check the temperature of 100 people per minute, and, as is the standard for this technology, screens body temperatures accurate to within +\/- 0.3 degrees Celsius.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How reliable is this technology?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

It must be taken into account that not everyone will show fever-like symptoms. Because of this, thermal imaging could perhaps fail. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFlir President, Frank Pennisi – in line with World Health Organisation – Says that thermal imaging could be helpful for screening, they are not sufficient for an actual diagnosis. For one thing, thermal imaging only measures skin temperature and not internal temperature.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another aspect that professionals are concerned with is that the use of \u2018fever detecting\u2019 devices could create a false sense of safety, which could lead to individuals returning to \u2018normality\u2019 before is deemed appropriate. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Though there are points that argue both the positives and negatives of thermal imaging, some suggest that at the very least, thermal imaging could help prevent a \u2018second wave\u2019 from occurring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The future<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Thermal imaging will soon be widely used to help identify carriers of the Coronavirus. While the data that a Thermal Camera produces can be valuable and relevant, it is vital to remember that not all data will report as accurate, as some Coronavirus victims show no fever at all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During this time, we must remember to maintain social distancing and use additional safety precautions when necessary, such as wearing a mask and\/or gloves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
