Settings

You can set up Suprema Thermal Camera in AUTHENTICATION menu of Face Station F2.

  1. Press and authenticate with the Admin level credential
  2. Press AUTHENTICATION > Face > Advanced Settings.
  3. Set Check Mode depending on the usage.
    • Check After Authentication : Measure the temperature after a successful authentication.
    • Check Before Authentication: Authenticate only when the user is within the range of the preset temperature threshold. When this mode is activated, it does not attempt to authenticate user’s identity if their temperature has been detected to be above the threshold.
    • Check Only: Detect temperature without authentication. This mode allows users within the range of the preset threshold to access without checking their identity or access rights.
  4. Set Authentication Fail Sound depending on the usage. You can set the alarm to trigger when the measured temperature is higher than preset threshold.
  5. Press Thermal Camera and set the thermal camera options.
    • Disabled: The thermal camera is disabled.
    • Enabled (Hard): It refuses authentication of users with elevated temperature than of the preset threshold range and saves event logs.
    • Enabled (Soft) : Users with elevated temperature than the preset threshold range can authenticate but event logs still be saved.
  6. When Thermal Camera is enabled, you can set advanced settings. Change the desired item.
    • Celsius/Fahrenheit: Change the unit of temperature.
    • Low Threshold Temperature: Set the minimum threshold temperature to limit the access. Users with detected temperature below the threshold will be denied access. It can be set between 1°C to 45°C and cannot be higher than the value of the maximum threshold temperature.
    • High Threshold Temperature: Set the maximum threshold temperature to limit the access. Users with detected temperature over the threshold will be denied access. It can be set between 1°C to 45°C and cannot be higher than the value of the minimum threshold temperature.
    • Save Temperature Data: Save temperature data. When this mode is activated, it saves both authentication and temperature logs. When this mode is deactivated, it only saves authentication logs.
    • Show Thermal Infrared Image: Display infrared imaging on the screen of the devices.
    • Dynamic ROI: If there are ambient light sources near the device, the thermal camera may incorrectly measure the subject’s temperature. You can set the thermal camera to automatically measure the skin temperature by detecting the ROI (Region of Interest) and to avoid detecting the temperature of ambient light devices.
    • Camera Configuration: Configure the thermal camera settings for accurate measurement.
    • Distance(cm): Set up the distance between the user and device.
    • Emissivity: Set up the emissivity to precisely measure the temperature of the user.
    • ROI X(%), ROI Y(%), ROI Width(%), ROI Height(%): If there are lights in the device field of view they may be detected instead of the desired subject. Set the temperature measurement area by adjusting the size and position of ROI (Region of Interest).
    • Skin Temperature Compensation: You can set the thermal camera to adjust its temperature value automatically measuring the ambient conditions.
    • Skin Temperature Correction: You can set the thermal camera to compensate for variations in caused by the ambient environment that consistently affect temperature measurement. For example, if the environment is causing temperature to be measured at 0.1°C higher, set the temperature correction to -0.1.
    • FW: It shows the current firmware version of the thermal camera when it is connected properly.

NOTE

  1. It is recommended to maintain the default values of the camera configuration settings for the best performance. The default values of each option are as follows:
    • Distance(cm): 100
    • Emissivity: 0.98
    • ROI X(%): 30
    • ROI Y(%): 25
    • ROI Width(%): 50
    • ROI Height(%): 55

Troubleshooting

Checklist before reporting a failure

Classification Problem Solution
Temperature measurement Mask Detection is enabled, but face authentication
can not be done smoothly when wearing a mask. Authenticate your face twice

with the mask pull down on the tip of your nose. Then, authenticate your face again wearing a mask that covers your nose completely. If the problem persists, contact the installation company.
The thermal camera fails to measure temperature.|

  • Check if the thermal camera is properly connected to the terminal.
  • Measure the temperature again without covering your forehead. If the problem persists, contact the installation company.

The thermal camera measures lower temperature than actual temperature.| If a user measures the temperature after being exposed to cold temperatures for a long time, the temperature may be measured lower than actual temperature. Wait for 1 to 2 minutes indoors and try again. If the problem persists, contact the installation company.
