Thermal and Mask Settings

In the Thermal & Mask or Mask sections, you can set detailed parameters for the thermal camera and mask usage.

• The thermal camera can be linked to Suprema's facial authentication device to measure the temperature of users passing through the door and restrict access for users exceeding the threshold temperature.

• The system detects masks and restricts access for users not wearing a mask.

Info

• The Thermal Camera setting feature is supported by FaceStation 2 and FaceStation F2 models. Refer to the thermal cameras supported below.

  • TCM10-FS2

  • TCM10-FSF2

• The Mask Detection setting feature is supported by FaceStation F2, BioStation 3, and BioEntry W3.

• If the user has made any arbitrary changes, click the Apply button. Changes will not be applied to the device if not saved.

Mask Settings

In the Mask Configuration group, you can set whether to use mask detection.

• Mask Detection: Select whether to use mask detection.

  • Use(Deny access when failed to detect mask): Users not wearing a mask are denied authentication, and a mask non-compliance event log is recorded.

  • Use(Allow access after leaving log when failed to detect mask): Users not wearing a mask can still authenticate, but a mask non-compliance event log is recorded.

  • Not Use: Mask detection is not used.

• Mask Detect Level: Select the mask detection sensitivity.

Thermal Camera Settings

In the Thermal Camera group, you can set the use of the thermal camera and its parameters.

• Thermal Camera Use: Set whether to use the thermal camera.

  • Use(Deny access when exceeded threshold temperature): Users exceeding the threshold temperature are denied authentication, and a threshold exceed event log is recorded.

  • Use(Allow access after leaving log when exceeded threshold temperature)): Users exceeding the threshold temperature can still authenticate, but a temperature exceed event log is recorded.

• Celsius/Fahrenheit: Set the temperature display unit.

• Threshold Temp. (℃) / Threshold Temp. (℉): Set the minimum and maximum values for the threshold temperature that restricts access.

  Users with a surface temperature below the Low value or above the High value will be restricted from entry according to the Thermal Camera Use option. You can set the range from 1℃ to 45℃, and the Low value cannot be higher than the High value.

• Save Temp. Data: Set whether to save the user's temperature log.

  • Enabled: Logs both authentication success and the user's temperature value.

  • Disable: Only logs authentication success.

• Temp. Fail Sound: Set whether to notify authentication failure due to exceeding the threshold temperature.

• Show Infrared Image: Set whether to display infrared images on the device screen.

• Camera Configuration: Set detailed options for the thermal camera.

  • Temp. Correction (℃): Adjust the temperature to measure consistently higher or lower based on the product usage environment. For example, if temperatures are consistently measured 0.1℃ higher, set the temperature compensation value to -0.1℃.

  • Distance(cm): Set the distance between the user and the thermal camera.

  • Emissivity: Set the infrared emissivity.

  • Dynamic ROI: If other lighting is present in the environment, configure the thermal camera to measure the user's temperature automatically without interference from nearby lights.

  • ROI X(%) / ROI Y(%) / ROI Width(%) / ROI Height(%): If the Dynamic ROI option is set to Disable, manually set the ROI (Region of Interest). Adjust the ROI location and size to specify the area where the thermal camera will measure temperature.

Info

• The settings for the Threshold Temp. option's Low and High values are supported from the firmware versions below.

  • FaceStation 2 firmware version 1.4.2 and above

  • FaceStation F2 firmware version 1.0.2 and above

• For optimal performance, it is advised to use the default settings for the sub-options in Camera Configuration. The default values for each device's options are listed below.

  Item	FaceStation 2	FaceStation F2
  Distance(cm)	100	100
  Emissivity	0.98	0.98
  ROI X(%)	47	30
  ROI Y(%)	45	25
  ROI Width(%)	15	50
  ROI Height(%)	10	55

Thermal and Mask Verification Methods

In the Thermal & Mask Check Mode group, you can set the verification method according to the device's use when utilizing mask detection or the thermal camera.

• Check after authentication: Checks the user's mask usage or measures temperature after authentication.

• Check before authentication: Checks the user's mask usage or measures temperature before authentication. In this case, users not wearing a mask or exceeding the threshold temperature cannot authenticate.

• Check without authentication: The device can only be used to check for mask usage or measure temperature. Users wearing a mask or having a temperature below the threshold can enter regardless of authentication.
