Fever Detecting Cameras - Hot Tech or Hot Air?
Show Notes

CEO of Calamity Daniel Lewkovitz speaks with John Honovich from IPVM

Fever detecting cameras are going to be a gold rush and possibly the biggest snake oil by the electronic security industry since 'analytics' 20 years ago that was utter garbage at the time.

Panicked buyers are rushing to vendors who are selling technology that quite simply is not fit for purpose.

In some cases, manufacturers specifically indicate in their literature that the hardware is not fit for medical applications. That has not stopped people selling it as such.

Moreover, there are many reasons why a person's skin temperature could be high (or low) that are unrelated to a virus and may result from ambient temperatures, stress or clothing.
