These double vision thermal and color lens scanners make it possible to detect a person's temperature, raise an alarm on a remote observer station and provide a color image making it possible to identify the person with the increased body tem- perature immediately. The scanners offer live monitoring on a PC monitor with automatic alarm reporting and alert from a distance, defined by temperature limits or temperature ranges. Other than temperature reading, Kirby Pines can use the camera as a surveillance solution and record the number of people passing through a specific zone and peri- od. This allows management to perform analysis based on our desire to maintain a safe community for our residents and their families. These cameras have been installed in two areas of the community. The first area is located in the hallway as individuals enter the main dining areas. The second camera is located near the time clock as team members clock in for their respec- tive shifts. Kirby Pines management feels these cameras will be extremely beneficial in a number of ways to provide a safe community for our residents beyond the COVID-19 pandemic recovering efforts.
