Infrared Thermometer integration

Infrared Thermometer integration

This guide will help you install and configure Nirovision's compatible Infrared Thermometer.

Before you start

  • The thermometer can be connected to power using the Type-C cable in the box, or powered via a 18650 lithium battery (2000mAh). The battery can be used for about 4 days -if the thermometer is in use for roughly 8 hours a day- and can be recharged using the equipped Type-C cable.

  • Make sure your thermometer is powered on, and close enough to the iPad to allow for the device's discovery via Bluetooth.

  • Make sure your iPad has Bluetooth connectivity enabled.

  • Placement and environmental conditions are crucial for temperature measurements. Check our Doorkeeper mounting solutions guide for recommendations and best practices.

    • The operating environment of the thermometer needs to be between 10°C to 40°C.

    • People should approach their forehead to the thermometer's sensor between 1-10cms for a correct measurement.

  • The thermometer makes a loud noise in the event of detecting an elevated temperature.

Pair the thermometer

  1. Open the Doorkeeper app.

  2. Tap anywhere on the screen to bring up the Settings button, on the bottom left corner of your iPad. Tap on it.

  3. Tap on 🌡 Thermometer to view the thermometer's settings.

  4. You will see a toggle to Auto Connect to Thermometers - this should be on by default

    1. If the Bluetooth thermometer is within close proximity to the iPad it should automatically connect to it.

    2. If the Bluetooth thermometer in question is not connected, turn off the toggle for Auto Connect to Thermometers

  5. Tap on Bluetooth BP (thermometer) to pair your Doorkeeper to the thermometer. When connected the device will be blue.

Configuring maximum temperature on the Web App

To set a maximum temperature, in the Nirovision Web App go to Settings > Location and navigate to the General Config tab.

  1. On the line of Maximum temperature click Edit.

  2. A window will pop up, tick the Enable temperature box to reveal more configuration settings.

  3. Type in a maximum temperature in the text box.

  4. Type in a deviation from the maximum temperature.

What happens next?

The next time someone starts their check in process at a Doorkeeper kiosk, the first action they'll be asked to complete is a temperature check.

They'll see a helpful illustration, receive instructions to take their temperature on the thermometer, and come back to Doorkeeper to complete the process.


Every time someone checks in using Doorkeeper, a digital record is created in the Nirovision system. In this case, that record will include check-in time, location and temperature (in addition to survey results and/or BAC value if available).
