Infrared Temp Sensor

[tbowmo]

Anyone knows at what distance it can do the temperature measurements?

it seems it depends of object size...http://forum.arduino.cc/index.php?topic=281508.0

or contact-less body temperature ;)

Isn't this what they use at the airports in pandemic situations?

In China they used FLIR cameras on the border to Hong Kong 8-10 years ago.. (that was the last time I encountered temperature measurement at border crossings / airport terminals)

I have been rethinking this for years now... considering the price of a "real" infrared camera. Plenty neat initiatives on that front...

maybe you could mount 4 together on the roof and get temperatures of 4 room walls averaging out the room temperature.

Or maybe a cheap person detector, is uncle bob sat in his favourite chair? 18deg or 30deg.

I think I need one to differentiate Terminators from actual humans ... in case my dog fails in it's duties.
