Flir A500-EST 24° Lens

Highlights

The FLIR A500-EST is a non-contact screening tool that can serve as the first line of defense against potential health risks. The Flir A500-EST thermal screening solution detects and visualizes heat to quickly identify individuals with elevated skin temperature. With a 464 × 348 pixel thermal detector and on-camera FLIR Screen-EST™ Mode, the FLIR A500-EST can be deployed as a single, standalone screening station or in a network. Compatibility with industry standards such as Modbus TCP, MQTT, RESTful API for data transfer, and RTSP for video makes third-party integration easy. The camera can be connected to most Video Management Systems and is compatible with FLIR Screen-EST™ Desktop software.

A500-EST Features

Flir A500-EST Easy Set-Up and Operation:
- Integrates easily into web services with RESTful API over XML or JSON; offers standard EtherNet and Wi-Fi connectivity.
Fast Accurate Screening:
- Optimal screening accuracy with automatic ambient drift compensation; support for external black body compensation if desired.
Maintain Saftey and Privacy:
- On-camera FLIR Screen-EST Mode does not store images or personal information and allows for social distancing in screening setups.
