Overview | Application scenarios
•This camera is ideal for installation as a pre-screening method to be placed in areas where personnel are on duty to conduct
further screening of body temperature and to enact company protocols when individuals are found to have abnormal skin
temperatures. This solution is popular in places like passenger stations, railway stations, subway stations, airports,
manufacturing facilities, hospitals and any other security check entrances. It is recommended to deploy our PT-BF5421-T
camera and blackbody (real-time calibration tool) at each entrance of the facilities to ensure that all persons must pass
through an inspection point. This camera has a built-in configurable audio and visible light to alert when persons are found
above the expected temperature and can be connected directly to a laptop or computer for viewing through a web browser,
or optionally connected through our MicroNVR or AVM NVR software for recording and additional alerting capabilities.
When properly installed and configured, this camera provides accuracy of ±0.3°C / ±0.54°F at normal body temperatures.
This is the reason it is important to follow these directions for proper configuration and setup.

Overview | Solution Features
Easy deployment
Thermal camera + Blackbody
+ ordinary PC constitutes a
quickly deployed body
temperature pre-screening
station. Optional tripods
make setup even easier.
Safety
Non-contact thermography to
avoid the risk of cross
infection during pre-screening
process. This makes it a key
component of a complete
security solution for
businesses and
transportation.
High-efficiency
Stop the long lines and
difficult delays. By scanning
quickly, this thermal camera
allows people to move at
normal speeds (detection
times down to 1 sec)
High detection rate
The head detection
temperature measurement
can avoid the interference of
other non-human targets,
and the temperature
measurement accuracy can
reach ±0.54 °F with
blackbody
Advanced Alerting
When combined with our
AVM NVR software or
MicroNVR recorder with
AVM software, alerts can be
not only heard and seen at
the camera, but from
anywhere with authorized
users over the internet.

Installation Checklist

Preparation | Survey
•The installation area shall be a relatively isolated and stable environment without wind or rapid changing ambient temperatures.
Avoid outdoor areas for best accuracy. It is not suitable for environments with strong air flow, rapid ambient temperature changes or
strong electromagnetic interference or vibration.
•Position the camera so that the flow of traffic is towards the camera to ensure the camera can detect the temperature of people with
their forehead and/or eyes.
•Keep out of direct sunlight or high ambient temperatures. Avoid interference of heat sources such as microwave ovens, electric
heaters, hot water heaters, high-power lamps, radiators, etc. to avoid damage to the camera or blackbody.
•The visible light channel of the camera requires sufficient illumination with minimal backlighting to properly register faces.
It is recommended to use railings or
other devices to guide personnel in the
correct direction towards the camera for
detection for best accuracy and stability.
Recommended Positioning
Insufficient
illumination
Too much
backlighting
Incorrect direction
of traffic
Avoid these scenarios

Preparation | Survey
•When there is a large difference between indoor
and outdoor temperatures, it is recommended to
route people through a back and forth S shaped
route to allow the temperature of a person’s
forehead to stabilize (reducing impact of
excessive heat from outside or excessive cooling
of the skin)
•It is recommended to keep thermal camera away
from an exterior door where hot or cold air might
rush in when it is opened.

Preparation | Device & Tool List
Note: Tripod installation is used for this example for portable indoor installations. Optionally camera and blackbody can be mounted with brackets/junction boxes.

Installation Checklist

Installation | Installation Requirements and Precautions
•The blackbody should be installed just above and to the side of where
persons will be walking past the camera. The blackbody heat radiation
surface should face the camera. The black body can be to the left or right
side where a person will be walking.
Note: The blackbody should not be installed too close to the edge of the thermal
image. It is recommended to divide the image into 16 equal parts as shown. Mount so
that the blackbody is near the intersection point on the upper left or upper right of the
image.
Protect the blackbody and camera from damage, especially if opting to use the tripods!

Installation | Installation Requirements and Precautions
Camera mounting height Camera angle Blackbody Mounting Height Distance between Blackbody and Camera Distance between forehead
and camera Width at the best distance
6 ½ ft (~2m) Downward
angle of < 30 °6 ft (~ 1.8m) 10 ft (~3m)
10ft (~3m)
（No blackbody 6.5ft (~2m)）5ft (~1.5m)
The installation height of camera and blackbody and the distance from blackbody to camera are important for optimum accuracy as shown in the table below.
The distance between a person’s forehead and the camera should be the same as the distance between the blackbody and the camera.
PT-BF5421-T（13mm）Installation Guide

Installation | Installation Requirements and Precautions
Announcements :
•Do not touch or spray the blackbody heating surface. Scratches, smudges and dirt will lead to the decrease of blackbody
accuracy and/or failure. This will affect the accuracy of your calibration.
•The blackbody equipment uses AC120V power supply, make sure you use a grounded outlet/receptacle to prevent shock!

Installation | Installation Requirements and Precautions
Person standing at distance of ~10ft from
camera at same distance as blackbody
This is an example setup of the thermal camera and blackbody. The height of the
thermal camera from the ground is 6.5ft, and the height of the blackbody from the
ground is 6ft. The best detection position of the human body is parallel to the
blackbody (~10ft away from the camera), and the camera's pitch angle is less than
30 °, facing the forehead of the face and the radiation surface of the blackbody
Note: During field installation, direct contact
with the outside air should be avoided when
possible, otherwise the temperature
measurement may be inaccurate due to the
influence of indoor and outdoor airflow
convection.
