RS PRO DM60-W3 Infrared Thermal Imaging Camera, +20 → +50 °C, 640 x 480pixel Detector Resolution

Introducing the RS PRO Thermal Imaging Camera with long-distance body temperature measurement capability of up to 10 m. This high-quality infrared (IR) thermal camera provides an accurate and reliable measurement of the human body by combining all the important features for thermographic measurement at an affordable price. This hi-tech uncooled thermal camera is used as a non-contact screening method to visualise temperature differences of the skin's surface and is suitable for use across a wide range of applications where quick, high volume screening is required to gain accurate and rapid measurement of an individual’s body temperature, sometimes from further distances. The external display option of the measurements makes it easy to monitor and take action immediately, while the camera can detect the skin surface temperatures of up to 6 people at a time passing through the camera’s field of vision. This high-quality RS PRO thermal screening camera is versatile and an essential companion for those working in areas where human body temperature requires close monitoring due to the risk of cross-infection and contamination.

Thermal imaging plays an essential role in several applications, which is why thermal cameras are such an important piece of equipment. They can be used on objects or items to detect minute changes in thermal sensitivity, like spotting heat leaks in thermal insulation to see if it’s faulty. A thermal imager such as this RS PRO device is most commonly used to identify elevated body temperature and temperature abnormalities in humans for medical purposes. By using this non-contact method of screening, thermography can provide a quick and effective way of detecting temperature abnormalities in large public spaces, as well as within medical environments to reveal potential health issues in patients without the need for expensive and invasive generalised investigations, meaning the time can be spent on further screening, diagnostics and treatments for specific conditions like cancer and other diseases. Thermal imaging cameras are a commonly used screening tool in:

• Medical and clinical environments like hospitals, medical research facilities and primary and secondary care units


• Transportation hubs such as airports, train stations, underground and bus stations


• Company buildings


• Shopping centres and stores


• Community areas with regular footfall presence

Thermal imaging cameras create thermal images, also known as a thermogram, through a process called Thermography. This allows the user to visualise heat sources in real-time, making temperature measurement more accurate.

Whilst thermal imaging cameras can't see through objects or people, they can detect heat sources produced on the surface of a person’s skin or on an object, such as locating a fire or heat source behind a wall.

The blackbody is simply a constant temperature target which is used to continuously correct the camera to ensure the accuracy of the temperature measurement. It is installed in the field of view of the camera and the blackbody temperature is measured by the thermal imaging camera and used as a reference for real-time calibration. The blackbody is an essential device used alongside the thermal imaging camera to ensure accurate and reliable measurements.
