Platinum CCTV® Releases New Thermal Body Temperature Camera That Identifies Individual Body Temperatures in Addition to Providing Visual Security - An Innovative Tool to Rapidly Pre-screen Individuals for Fevers when Entering a Facility and Help Fight Future Pandemic Spread

WARRENVILLE, Ill., March 25, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Platinum CCTV (https://platinumcctv.com/) recently announced the development of a unique body temperature sensing security camera designed to help protect against pathogenic community spread by rapidly pre-screening individuals before they enter a facility. The PT-BF5421-T Thermal/Visible Hybrid IP Security Camera is the next generation in business security, providing accurate body temperature readings of plus/minus 0.3 degrees Celsius, while alerting staff to institute facility protocols when needed. Each thermal image is clearly seen and read up to three meters away, with both visible and audible signals sent whenever a high body temperature is detected.

"We're extremely proud of this new thermal camera," said Michael Dunteman, CEO. "It has the chance to really help reduce the spread of viruses in our workplaces and keep employees safe.  Current screening methods involve contact thermometers and are a very slow and tedious process.  With this body temperature camera, people can be pre-screened for fever as quickly as they can walk through a hallway.  It really is a one-of-a-kind tool for businesses, hospitals, transportation hubs, theaters, hotels and many other businesses to help screen against those who may be ill and unaware of their health status. Previously, this sort of technology was not as accurate and price-prohibitive for all but governments and the largest of businesses. But we've now introduced a model that is more accurate and modestly priced, specifically geared toward transit facilities, hospitals, medical buildings, schools, casinos, manufacturing facilities and other installations that need screening. Now, security personnel can screen and identify sick individuals without having to touch them, allowing for the implementation of safe, private and effective isolation protocols with medical professionals as mandated by each facility."
