Thermal/Temperature Monitoring/Stand Alone Camera Setup

Temperature Monitoring Solution Stand Alone Camera Setup

This guide will cover the initial camera setup and Blackbody Configuration for the Thermal Temperature Monitoring Solution for a camera connected to LAN.

If you're using a camera connected to the NVR, follow the steps to set up Thermal Monitoring solution with NVR

Prerequisites

• DH-TPC-BF3221-T or DH-TPC-BF5421-T Thermal Hybrid Network Camera
• JQ-D70Z Blackbody
• Temperature Monitoring Physical Setup guide followed
• Thermal camera updated to latest firmware - How To Update TPC-BF5421-T Firmware

Step by Step Instructions

Camera Initialization

Initialize the Camera over the network using a local computer

• Plug the Thermal camera into the LAN
• Connect the NVR to a router/switch on LAN
• Connect computer to router/switch on LAN

1. Enter the IP address of the Camera(default http://192.168.1.108) in Internet Explorer

Proceed with Device Initialization

Create a password for the Camera and enter twice to Confirm

Enter an email address used for Password Recovery/Reset

Click Save

Check the box to agree to the terms

Click Next

Set P2P settings as desired

Camera initialization is complete

Enter the username (admin) and password created in the previous step

Click Login

Camera Configuration:

Check latest firmware and upgrade

How To Update TPC-BF5421-T Firmware

Open smart thermal of human body temperature measurement

==Set Smart Thermal Plan==

Enable the Smart Thermal Smart Plan for the Thermal Camera

• Log into Camera

Click Setting

Click Smart Thermal > Smart Plan

Click the icon to enable the plan.

Click Save

Set rules of human temperature measurement

Set Rules Of Human Temperature Measurement

Configure the parameters for the Human Temperature Measurement

• Log into Camera

Click Setting

Click Smart Thermal > Thermal Temperature Monitoring

Check the box to enable human temperature measurement

Check the box to enable Temperature report - this will report/display all temperature values

Check the box to enable High Temperature Warning - an alarm will be sent when the temperature is higher than or equal to this value

Click Draw Rule to configure the rule box

Left click inside the frame to draw the box

Completed

Click Save

Set blackbody parameters

Set Blackbody Parameters

Configure the parameters for the Blackbody device for Human Temperature Measurement

• Log into Camera

Click Setting

Click Smart Thermal > Thermal Temperature

Select the Blackbody parameter tab

Check the box to enable

Click inside the video frame to select the green rule box

The rule needs to be drawn along the bold highlighted edge, just surrounding the highlighted area of the blackbody

Left click to drag and move the box and click the corners to resize the box

Configure Advanced/Other Settings

Configure Advanced/Other Settings

Configure advanced/other parameters for the camera for Human Temperature Measurement

• Log into Camera

Click Setting

Click Smart Thermal > Thermal Temperature

Click the Smart Channel tab

Select which channel is used for Intelligent analysis

For normal scenes Visual channel is used to detect faces by default

For some scenes such as dark or with backlight environment, Thermal channel can be used

Snap Angle Filter - larger the value, easier it is to capture the side face

For example , when value is 1 , only the front face can be detected

Click Save

Check environment temperature

Check Environment Temperature

If the default temperature parameters are not accurate this situation will affect the human body temperature measurement.

If human body temperature is inaccurate, try the following steps:

Step 1 - Ambient temperature

• Log into Camera
  • Setting > Smart Thermal > Human temperature measurement > Others

• Use thermometer to detect the real ambient temperature on site and enter the number

• Click Save

Step 2 - Human temperature correction

• Use a thermometer to detect the real Human body temperature:

Calculate the difference between real Human body temperature and measure the temperature from the thermal camera, enter this value in Human Temperature correction field.

Smart Thermal > Human Temperature Monitoring > Blackbody parameter:

For example: real Human body temperature is 98.6F (37C), measure temperature in thermal camera is 100F (37.8C)

Human Temperature correction should be 98.6 - 100 = -1.4

Click Save

Event Verification

Event Verification

Once configuration is complete, go to Live interface to verify temperature measurement

• Log into Camera
• Check measurement value on screen

• • Compare it with the value on the frontal temperature gun, thermometer ( if available)
