Adafruit Thermal Camera Imager for Fever Screening with USB Video Output

This video camera captures thermal images, taking photos of temperatures within the 30°C-45°C / 86°F-113°F range with a precision of 0.5°C / 1°F, making it exceptional for identifying human fevers.

Commonly utilized by companies, airports, hotels, and malls for preliminary fever screenings, it triggers an alarm if temperatures exceed 99°F, prompting follow-up checks with handheld thermometers. Unlike broad-range thermal 'FLIR' cameras, this device aims for accuracy within a specific range for fever detection.

The 2.8" 320x240 TFT screen displays real-time temperature readings from a 160x120 thermal resolution, highlighting hotspot temperatures. Configurable features include alert temperature ranges, unit preferences in F or C, and diverse color palettes. The built-in Li-poly battery ensures portability with USB recharging.

Some notable advantages of these thermal scanners include surprising accuracy at up to 10 meters, standalone operation with no internet required, and compatibility with Windows computers for larger displays via free software. They capture thermal data using evolving open-source software, run on rechargeable batteries or remain plugged in, and perform comparably to costly machine-learning systems.

The UTi165K model enables real-time data transfer to a computer via USB for analysis, offering three viewing modes: Thermal (infrared image), Digital (regular camera), and Fusion (a mix of both). Alternatively, the UTi165H is available, limiting to thermal mode without USB output. It supports image and data transfer through USB type C or SD Card.
