👋 Important Note
As COVID-19 continues to be a problem, we want to remove any confusion over product usage and ensure you find the correct solution. Although TEquipment sells a wide variety of thermal imagers and infrared thermometers, not all of them are suitable for detecting an elevated temperature in humans. This guide will provide an overview of several products which can be used for this application, covering various price points and levels of functionality.
Please note, these products are only designed to measure temperature. They cannot be used to detect or diagnose COVID-19/Coronavirus.
Screening Solutions by Type
IR Thermometers
🟠 Range requires closer contact
Measurement Range Less than 6 Inches
Thermal Screening Options
🟢 Range allows social distancing
Measurement Range 2.5 - 10.5 feet
Self-Service Kiosk Systems
Measurement Range Approximately 1 foot
Non-contact Thermometers
Non-contact infrared (IR) thermometers are basic, handheld devices and an excellent, low cost method for temperature measurement.
Metris THD2FE
✔️ FDA 510K Cleared
The Metris THD2FE is a clinical / medical grade non-contact infrared thermometer. It has an accuracy of ±0.4°F between 95-107.6°F and features an adjustable alarm threshold.
Extech IR200
Ideal for quickly detecting elevated body temperature. It can measure between 89.6 and 108.5°F with an accuracy of ±0.5°F and features an adjustable alarm threshold.
What about other IR Thermometers on TEquipment? The Extech IR200 & Alicn TE-AL-IR2 are the only IR thermometers suitable for temperature measurement on humans. However, we also have thermal solutions as shown below. While TEquipment carries a large number of other IR thermometers, they are designed for applications such as food inspection, or heating and air conditioning. These will measure temperature, but will not provide accurate results if used on people.
Thermal Screening Systems
Fotric 226B
The Fotric 226B provides an automated and easy solution, and is ideal for higher volume applications such as offices, factories and public events.
A.I. Face Recognition
Built-in Facial detection module which automatically recognizes people as they enter its field of view. It then measures their temperature and provides a pass/fail signal.
Large Detection Range
With a range of 2.6 to 10.5 feet, personnel are able to obtain accurate readings while adhering to social distancing requirements. This makes it ideal for quick moving lines or entryways.
Prevents False Positives
If the subject is holding a cup of hot coffee, the system will lock onto facial features and ignore the unrelated heat source. It will also adapt to changes in ambient temperature.
Seek Scan
The Seek Scan is an automated system used to measure one person at a time. It is easy to set up and performs its measurements in only one second. This helps to keep lines moving quickly.
Also available as a kiosk system - Learn more
Stand-alone Heatsource
The person being screened stands next to a stand-alone heatsource that reads exactly 98.6°F providing an extremely accurate reading.
Face Detection
Once a subject is in frame the camera finds the most reliable spot on the face for temperature measurement and provides a pass or fail signal.
5' Detection Range
This provides an efficient screening process, while helping to keep staff as safe as possible. The distance between the camera and testing subject is approximately 5 feet.
ThermaCheck by Planck Vision Systems
ThermaCheck is made by Planck Vision Systems of Santa Barbara, CA. It sets up in minutes and comes with all the cables you will need to hook it up.
Accuracy
≤0.5°F
Measurement Distance
3.5 - 6.5 feet
Sensor
High quality sensor core is made by FLIR in the United States
Freebies
Includes a desktop tripod and a FREE IR thermometer
Kiosks
TEquipment carries several kiosk style systems which can provide both automated and self-service solutions. These span a wide range of functionalities, from temperature measurement, to payroll and even door control. Kiosks can provide a simple pass/fail temperature status, but can also be used to prevent people from entering your building. For testing subjects, the screening process is easy. Simply walk up to it and look at the device. It will detect the presence of a person and begin its test. The following is an overview of a few popular brands.
Richtech AATSS
Based in Las Vegas, NV, Richtech currently offers several versions of its AATSS kiosk. This system is easy to use and automates the testing process. This device has several mounting options and degrees of functionality, making it suitable for a variety of users. The AATSS can be placed on a floor stand, table stand, wall mount or adjustable arm, with units ranging from basic standalone systems to fully networked devices. With the AATSS, it is possible to receive email alerts, trigger doors to open and much more.
How does it work?
The AATSS is designed to be accurate, easy and fast. Simply set it up near your entrance and it does all the work. Testing subjects walk up to it, place their face within 7 to 12 inches of the sensor, and it takes their temperature. Based on the results, it will provide a pass or fail signal. The AATSS will also work with people wearing glasses.
Hikvision
The Hikvision kiosk provides an accuracy of ±0.9°F and can measure subjects from 1.6 to 4.92 feet away. It features facial recognition, can be used for attendance purposes and also has access control functionality. This kiosk can be mounted on either a wall or optional floor stand.
Seek Scan Kiosk
Seek Scan Kiosk is an all-in-one, low-cost, thermal imaging system that’s designed to automate body temperature screening by using skin temperature as a proxy. Everything you need to start screening in minutes comes included with Seek Scan Kiosk. This all-in-one solution comes with a Seek Scan Camera and Reference Heat Source, a 10” tablet, durable aluminum stands, and all required cables.
Hand-held
Hikvision EBT510
The Hikvision EBT510 is a handheld thermal imager which can be used to screen for elevated body temperature. It has an accuracy of ±0.9°F accuracy over the range of 86-113°F and measures from a distance of 3.2 feet (1 meter).

FLIR EST Cameras
FLIR has been a leader in thermal imaging for decades. With a portfolio ranging from industrial to military devices, it now offers several FDA cleared cameras specifically designed for elevated skin temperature. These contain built-in features to automate and simplify the testing process, guiding subjects into position and providing pass/fail results to staff. These cameras offer extremely high resolution, measuring the temperature of over 70,000 individual points simultaneously. Measurements are commonly taken from the tear duct, as it provides a very consistent measurement point and is less susceptible to environmental conditions.
FLIR E54-EST
A handheld thermal camera that can be used to identify individuals displaying elevated skin temperature. With Infrared resolution of 320 × 240 pixels.
FLIR E86-EST 24
A non-contact screening tool that serves as a first line of defense against potential health risks. With Infrared resolution of 464 x 384 pixels.
FLIR T540-EST 24
A thermal screening solution that detects and visualizes heat to quickly identify individuals with an elevated skin temperature. With Infrared resolution of 464 x 384 pixels.
