This article lists the environmental operating condition requirements for the indoor and outdoor thermal cameras.

1. Operating conditions

If any of the below guidelines are not followed, you may have issues with getting accurate temperature readings due to ambient conditions or external factors outside of the technology's control.

	Light should not be shining directly at the temperature probe (located above the screen) at any time of the day (this is extremely important).
	There must be no external heat sources near the temperature probe, either in direct line of site of the screen/lenses or behind where the camera is mounted. This includes site buildings that may retain a high amount of heat (i.e. metal demountable)
	There should be nothing blocking the line of sight between the temperature probe and the person who is having their temperature read.
	There should be no heat source shining directly on the head of the person who is having their temperature taken.
	No black lights should be facing the camera.
	Temperature camera and testing area should be shaded from the sun, and other heat sources, completely.
