The plate reader utilizes a combination of on-device and cloud computing to work in real-time. The hardware for the project includes a Raspberry Pi, Pi camera, 4G antenna, and a GPS antenna.

UTi165 Thermal Fever Scanner Camera

How to use your precision fever scanner camera

This video camera takes photos of temperatures! This camera is specifically tuned to work in the 30˚C~45˚C / 86˚F~113˚ F range with 0.5˚C / 1˚ F accuracy, so it’s excellent for human temperature & fever detection. In fact, this thermal camera is often used by companies/airports/hotels/malls to do a first-pass fever check: If any person has a temperature of over 99˚F an alarm goes off so you can do a secondary check with an accurate handheld temperature meter.
