thermal scanner
Infrared temperature reader
A thermal scanner is a device that detects infrared radiation to measure surface temperatures, displaying heat signatures as visible images.
Used in building inspections to find insulation gaps, in medicine to screen for fevers, and in security applications.
Thermal scanners became ubiquitous during the COVID-19 pandemic for contactless temperature checks at entrances: Everyone had to pass through the thermal scanner before entering the airport.
