Prosegur USA Expands the Availability of Thermal FLIR Cameras for Body Temperature Screening

HERNDON, Va., (July 9, 2020) – Prosegur USA, a global leader in security technology, announced that it has increased the supply of high-quality FLIR thermal cameras that can be used for contactless body temperature screening. The company also reaffirmed its commitment to helping its customers deploy thermal imaging solutions in strict compliance with FDA guidelines.

“FLIR cameras are some of the most advanced thermal imaging solutions available on the market, which offer quick and accurate temperature measurement from a safe distance,” said David Crow, Prosegur USA’s senior vice president of commercial development. “Not only do they allow the guard at the door to check temperature of people entering, but they are ONVIF-compliant, meaning they can easily be integrated into most of the popular video management systems (VMS) for remote access and monitoring.”

“Thermal video technology can a very helpful part of your overall temperature screening efforts, but it is extremely important to use it according to the guidelines set by the FDA, which includes having a secondary verification,” said Mike Dunn, Prosegur USA’s chief technology officer. “Companies that don’t, risk not only fines but also inaccurate temperature readings which can lead to people with fever being allowed to enter premises. For us at Prosegur USA, the number one priority when deploying these cameras is to ensure our customers get accurate readings from a quality solution, and also to help our customers with training materials for their employees on the proper use of the system.”
