Preventing Covid-19 with Thermal Camera Solutions

Preventing Covid-19 with thermal cameras is one of the most effective health control solutions that Vietnamese businesses have adopted from 2020 until now. Instead of manual checks with handheld infrared thermometers, thermal cameras automatically detect individuals with high fever symptoms when passing through an entrance, helping to reduce checking time by 60-80% and limit direct contact.

##How do thermal cameras work to prevent Covid-19?

Thermal cameras use infrared sensors to measure skin surface temperature from a distance of 0.5-1.5 meters. When a person with a temperature higher than the set threshold (usually 37.5°C) is detected, the camera will trigger an audible alert or display it on screen. Integrated AI technology helps eliminate interference factors such as sunlight and heat from surrounding objects, ensuring 95-98% accuracy.

Detection time is only 0.3-0.5 seconds, allowing for control of people flow without causing bottlenecks. Data is centrally stored, supporting quick tracing if a case is detected.

##Which thermal camera models are suitable for Vietnamese businesses?

The market offers many thermal camera models with different features. Below is a comparison of popular models implemented by Việt POS:

Model selection depends on the entrance area, pedestrian traffic, and accuracy requirements. These models all support network connectivity and integration with existing smart access control systems.

##How much does it cost to install a thermal camera to prevent Covid-19?

Thermal camera costs range from 8-25 million VND depending on the model and features. Basic models like ZN-T3 cost 8-12 million, while high-end models like ZN-T97 can go up to 20-25 million. In addition to equipment costs, installation costs (2-5 million), software configuration (1-3 million), and annual warranty (10-15% of equipment price) need to be considered.

For Vietnamese businesses, Việt POS offers a comprehensive package including equipment, installation, staff training, and 24/7 technical support. Contact hotline 0935 498 384 for a detailed quote.

##Is preventing Covid-19 with thermal cameras actually effective?

According to Việt POS's deployment experience at 100+ facilities in Vietnam, thermal cameras help detect 70-85% of high fever cases before entering the premises. However, effectiveness depends on usage: cameras need to be placed in appropriate locations, avoiding direct sunlight, and combined with other measures such as disinfection and social distancing.

Some cases of mild fever or those caused by external factors (hot weather, physical activity) may not be detected. Therefore, thermal cameras should be seen as a supporting tool, not a complete replacement for professional medical checks.

##How to integrate thermal cameras into existing access control systems?

Most ZKTeco thermal camera models support connection via Ethernet, WiFi, or RS-485. They can integrate with warehouse management systems, door access control, or HR management software via API. The integration process typically takes 3-7 days, including network configuration, data synchronization, and testing.

The Việt POS technical team will support this entire process, ensuring thermal cameras operate seamlessly with the business's existing systems.

##What should be noted when using thermal cameras for long-term Covid-19 prevention?

To maintain effective Covid-19 prevention, the following steps should be taken: (1) Check camera calibration monthly using a temperature calibration unit; (2) Clean the lens weekly to prevent dust from affecting accuracy; (3) Update software regularly to receive security patches; (4) Store data securely in accordance with GDPR and Decree 13/2023 on personal data protection.
