Physical Installation Guidelines
Ceiling mounted configuration
Position the camera at a height of 6.5–7.5 feet from the ground. Place the Thermal Calibration Reference
Device 10–16 feet in front of the thermographic camera, and at the same height, as illustrated below.
Make sure the Thermal Calibration Reference Device is inside the camera’s field of view.
Wall Mounted configuration
When mounting the camera on a wall, use the same height and distance as the ceiling mounted
configuration. See illustration below.

Outdoor Mounted configuration
If using the camera in an outdoor setting, provide an enclosed area (tent) to ensure accuracy as
illustrated below.

Physical Installation Considerations
1.For accurate temperature measurement (+ 0.3ºC / 0.5ºF Degrees / Medical grade accuracy) install
the camera in areas without strong air flow. Place the camera away from objects that produce
airflow or high ambient temperature. Do not install the camera opposite an exterior door, air
conditioner, or in a position allowing the sun to shine directly onto the camera.
To ensure accuracy, install the camera indoors or in a stable temperature-controlled environment. If
you install the thermographic system in an open-air environment, temperature readings may differ
from actual temperatures, requiring a software adjustment to compensate.
2.If installed outdoors, provide a tent or an enclosed environment to ensure accuracy.
3.It is necessary to perform temperature measurements within a standardized distance, otherwise
temperature readings will deviate. The best horizontal distance from the camera to a person’s face is
13 feet (4m), with an acceptable range of 10–16 feet (3–4.8m).

4.The Thermal Calibration Reference Device should be installed in the camera’s field of view, ideally at
the same height. The best horizontal distance from the camera to the Thermal Calibration Reference
Device is 13 feet (4 meters) with an acceptable range of 10–16 feet
(3–4.8m).
5.The camera should be installed at a height of 6.5–7.5 feet (2.0–2.3m), with an angle less than 25°
horizontally to the faces of people in the scene.
6.Installing the camera straight relative to a human face will yield the best results. (Verify the side face
angle is less than 35° on either side from the intended target).
Configure the Camera
Access the camera using an HTML5 web browser, such as Google®Chrome®, or Microsoft®Internet
Explorer®(IE). When using IE the camera requires ActiveX®controls to display the video. The camera’s
default IP address is 192.168.0.121; the default username and password are both admin.
1.Connect your camera to your LAN or a standalone network. Your computer should be on the same
network.
2.Power on the camera. The camera can be powered via a PoE 802.3afenabled network switch
(requires 10W) or the supplied 12VDC power supply. It may take several minutes for the camera to
start up.
3.Open your web browser and go to 192.168.0.121.
4.Enter admin for both the username and password. You should change the default password after
you log in.

5.If using IE, select Download and install the new plugin.
a)Click Run to install the plugin. Close your browser while the plugin installs.
b)Open Internet Explorer again and go to 192.168.0.121. Select Allow to enable the plugin.
6.Log in using admin for both the username and password.
Configure Temperature Ranges
Aside from the settings listed below, we suggest keeping all other
settings as their defaults.
1.Go to the Configuration Tab.
2.Select Human Thermometer » Parameter Configure.
3.Enable Face Detection.

4.Go to the Temperature Parameters tab.
5.Set Enable to On to activate temperature measurement.
6.Set Temperature Unit to Celsius or Fahrenheit reflecting the units of measure that you use.
7.Set the Ambient Temperature for the area containing your camera.
NOTE: Cavity Temperature displays the internal operating temperature of the camera.
8.Set the Correction Coefficient. This is a final adjustment above or below the display temperature.
9.Set the Mount Distance in feet or meters. This is the horizontal distance from the camera to the
detection area. In general, this is the distance to the Thermal Calibration Reference Device unit.
10.Set Face Color to display a color pallet showing the hot regions of your targets’ faces.
11.Set Environment Adaptation to On if your camera is outside. Otherwise, leave it set to Off.
12.Set Abnormal Temperature Display to hide temperature readings that are outside your operating
parameters.

Set up Detection Zones
A detection zone is 4-corner polygonal area where you want to detect temperatures — typically where
faces appear in your scene. In many cases, a single zone can cover the entire scene, but you create up
to 8 detection zones.
1.Go to the Configuration Tab and select Human Thermometer » Parameter Configure.
2.In the camera image, click four corners outlining the area where faces will appear in your scene; after
you select the last point, click the first point again to finish drawing the zone.
3.Repeat the above steps to draw more zones.
4.Click Apply to save your settings.

Thermal Mapping
From here, you can map the thermal image with the visible image, ensuring the accuracy of temperature
measurements within your detection zones.
Within each detection zone, you will select three reference points. We suggest choosing three points
that are far away from each other, so the “triangle” connecting the three points you selected covers 70%
of the total image. Test that the defined area can correctly surround the faces in the scene. If it can’t,
adjust the three reference points.
1.Click the Configuration Tab and select Human Thermometer » Thermal Mapping.
2.Adjust zoom and focus so that the visual image is clear and identify out three points that you can
clearly see in the thermal image — see the example below.
3.Select the ID of a detection zone that you created earlier (1-8).
4.Set the Scene Depth. This is the distance from the camera to the detection area in meters.
5.Select Mapping Point that you want to set. Set points in order — one, two, three.
6.Click a point inside the zone in the visible scene.
7.Click the corresponding point inside the zone in the thermal scene.
8.Repeat this process for the remaining two Mapping Points.

9.Repeat steps 3-8 to map other detection zones (ID).
10.Click Apply to save your settings.
In the following illustration you can see Zone 1 — the area of detection (blue line rectangle) and the three
points on each camera view.
Thermal Calibration
The Thermal Calibration Reference Device needs to be powered on for at least 20 minutes, so that it can
reach a stable before you calibrate the camera.
1.Go to the Thermal Calibration tab.
2.Click Enable so that it is On.
3.If you turn on Display Area Info, the Thermal Calibration Reference Device is shown in a rectangle
with its current temperature on thermal image.
4.Enter the Distance to the Thermal Calibration Reference Device and the
Temperature of the unit.
