As we continue to phase into reopening, it's essential to make sure that you are prepared to keep people protected from potential coronavirus carriers. As the impact of COVID-19 varies from state to state, it's hard for anyone to say that a particular product or solution is necessary for everyone. However, social distancing, hand hygiene, face coverings and temperature screening all play a vital part in helping businesses and institutions open up safely. Together, we can help you deploy AMETEK Land’s vIRalert 3, a thermal imaging system that accurately and non-intrusively detects fevers at the point of entry into any facility.

A Safe & Accurate Solution

Equipped with a dual thermal imager and non-contact visual camera, vIRalert uses face detection to automate and reduce false readings, and accurate real-time blackbody calibration to ensure reliable results. It then provides an audible alarm and on-screen notification of the results in less than two seconds! 

Though the system does not inherently use facial recognition, it can be integrated into a facility's system under existing protocols to maintain GDPR compliance. Otherwise, you can trust that this solution is privacy safe. While handheld devices are an alternative solution for this, consider that they can compromise social distancing guidelines, and we’ve seen firsthand how every effort counts in containing the spread.

Simple to Set-Up, Easy to Use

With flexible mount options to choose from and packaged with preconfigured software, it takes less than 30 minutes to install. Intuitive user controls allow for automated functionality, truly making this a plug-and-play solution (or plug-and-protect, if you will). It is easy to use and makes an otherwise daunting process simple while keeping everyone protected from six-feet apart. Green for go, red for alert. Are you interested in seeing how it works?

Integrations Are Available

Our teams can work to integrate this system with your existing communications technology. In the healthcare space, we can help reduce staff exposure by tying vIRalert into your nurse call solution. In the education space, we can tie vIRalert into your access controls - keeping the doors locked if and when visitors fail their reading.
