Adjust the position and size of the ROI (Region of Interest) to manually set the area where the thermal camera will measure the temperature.

      • Skin Temperature Compensation: You can set the thermal camera to automatically calibrate the temperature based on the usage environment and ambient temperature.

      • Skin Temperature Correction: You can adjust the temperature readings to a fixed value based on the usage environment. For example, in environments where the temperature is always measured as 0.1 °C higher, set the temperature calibration value to -0.1.

Info

  • For optimal performance, it is recommended to use the default values for the sub-options of the camera settings. The default values of each option are as follows:
