Description

FLIR A500-EST thermal imaging camera

 

The FLIR A500-EST fixed thermal camera is a non-contact temperature measurement tool that acts as the first line of detection for potential fever cases. The FLIR-EST thermal imaging solution quickly identifies individuals with elevated skin temperature. With a 464×348 pixel sensor and FLIR Screen-EST mode, the FLIR A500-EST can be used as a stand-alone detection station or networked with other units.

The FLIR A500-EST thermal imaging camera can be easily integrated with third-party equipment thanks to its support for industry standards Modbus TCP, MQTT, RESTful API for file transfer and RTSP for video. The camera can be connected to most video management systems and is compatible with FLIR Screen-EST desktop software.

 

Plug&Play camera

Easily integrates into web services with RESTful API via XML or JSON; offers standard connection via EtherNet or Wi-Fi. Easy to configure and use.

Accuracy and real-time detection

Optimum measurement accuracy with automatic environmental drift compensation; optionally supports external blackbody compensation.

Security and privacy

The FLIR-EST in-camera mode does not store images or personal information and allows respecting the social distance in the detection zones.
