👋 Important Note
As COVID-19 continues to be a problem, we want to remove any confusion over product usage and ensure you find the correct solution. Although TEquipment sells a wide variety of thermal imagers and infrared thermometers, not all of them are suitable for detecting an elevated temperature in humans. This guide will provide an overview of several products which can be used for this application, covering various price points and levels of functionality.
Please note, these products are only designed to measure temperature. They cannot be used to detect or diagnose COVID-19/Coronavirus.
Screening Solutions by Type
IR Thermometers
🟠 Range requires closer contact
Measurement Range Less than 6 Inches
Thermal Screening Options
🟢 Range allows social distancing
Measurement Range 2.5 - 10.5 feet
Self-Service Kiosk Systems

What about other IR Thermometers on TEquipment? We also have thermal solutions as shown below. While TEquipment carries a large number of other IR thermometers, they are designed for applications such as food inspection, or heating and air conditioning. These will measure temperature, but will not provide accurate results if used on people.
Thermal Screening Systems
Seek Scan
The Seek Scan is an automated system used to measure one person at a time. It is easy to set up and performs its measurements in only one second. This helps to keep lines moving quickly.
Also available as a kiosk system - Learn more
Stand-alone Heatsource
The person being screened stands next to a stand-alone heatsource that reads exactly 98.6°F providing an extremely accurate reading.
Face Detection
Once a subject is in frame the camera finds the most reliable spot on the face for temperature measurement and provides a pass or fail signal.
5' Detection Range
This provides an efficient screening process, while helping to keep staff as safe as possible. The distance between the camera and testing subject is approximately 5 feet.
Kiosks
TEquipment carries several kiosk style systems which can provide both automated and self-service solutions. These span a wide range of functionalities, from temperature measurement, to payroll and even door control. Kiosks can provide a simple pass/fail temperature status, but can also be used to prevent people from entering your building. For testing subjects, the screening process is easy. Simply walk up to it and look at the device. It will detect the presence of a person and begin its test. The following is an overview of a few popular brands.
Seek Scan Kiosk
Seek Scan Kiosk is an all-in-one, low-cost, thermal imaging system that’s designed to automate body temperature screening by using skin temperature as a proxy. Everything you need to start screening in minutes comes included with Seek Scan Kiosk. This all-in-one solution comes with a Seek Scan Camera and Reference Heat Source, a 10” tablet, durable aluminum stands, and all required cables.
