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
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
