Mobile video solutions supplier Pro-Vision Video Systems has released a Touchless IR Thermometer for simple temperature screening on school buses and before entering buildings to detect potential health hazards and prevent COVID-19 exposure.

With a built-in IR sensor, the device is designed to automatically detect when a palm or forehead is in close proximity to initiate a temperature scan with contact-free operation to help people follow social distancing guidelines. Once a scan is completed, the device provides audible and visual notifications for irregular temperature readings to provide the instant data — which is not tracked or maintained — needed to take action based on policies and procedures.

“Schools need dependable tools that can help them prevent the spread of COVID-19 and protect their students and staff,” said Corey Mathews, sales manager – transit division at Pro-Vision. “This thermometer is another important tool schools can use to quickly detect any potential risks and take action to keep people safe.”

The Touchless IR Thermometer is a standalone solution that does not require a Pro-Vision video recording system to operate. It runs on a lithium ion battery or through a USB-to-12-volt power or USB-to-outlet adapter to operate as its own device, according to the supplier.

With a variety of mounting options, including 3M adhesive, high-strength magnets, and 1/4inch-20 mounting screws, the Touchless IR Thermometer is designed for easy installation on any school bus or building surface.
