This may be a really dumb question...but will it read a human body temperature to determine if you're running a fever.

This product is only meant to read surface temperatures. To get accurate body temperature readings, they must be taken internally.

it will give you a reading, but it wont be accurate for that. It will just be measuring skin temperature, not body temperature.
1533841
Yes. Actually, it is fun to do that for whatever reason. Make sure you turn the laser light off first.

Unfortunately, no. IR thermometers read surface temperature only, which is fairly useless for checking fevers. Even on the hottest night in the kitchen, I've only seen people read around 90f. Just use a medical thermometer, there's no better way to check a fever.

It not a dumb question I had the same one. But sadly no it will not read a human body temperature I use mine for a cat toy now lol

No. It reads the "black body" radiation from the first surface it encounters. I presume your cover is insulated so the temp measured would be that of the outside layer of the insulation. Use a temperature probe in your scupper that has a wire to the readout like they do for barbecues. Those even allow you to set alarms for over/under temp situations. Good luck!

Yes! It measures your heart rate doing various activities. There is a strap that you wear under your clothes that sends a signal to your watch.

I have not used it to measure body temperature yet, but the others are a yes

NO. I just tried mine (down my throat) and it gave me THREE different readings. All were close, but not near close enough for medical purposes.

It does. Recently it is experiencing some problems reading heart rate with heavy sweat but the tech support team got it sorted for me.

yes, it can be used for detecting human, ambient and other hot(maybe cold) object's temperature.

Yes, but not for medical reasons since skin can be less temperature than internal body temperature. We used to check the temperature guns for function (on/off) by checking temperature on our wrists.Also the temperature reading is at a point slightly below the laser light dot depending on distance per the included instructions, NOT on the laser dot location. Follow all included precautions with laser light such as not shining light into eyes.

Yes, but in order to get an accurate reading you have to really "jam" the thermometer into the ear. Sometimes My baby was hot and the thermometer would read a low temperature.

Yes, it does. The top reading on the display is your pulse rate and the reading below that is your percentage of Oxygen Saturation. Hope this helps.

Yes, but since it's an outside temp rather than internal, don't expect it to match normal readings. I've been thinking of using this with, say, sleeping grandchildren who may have a fever. My first step will be to run some trials to establish what this thermometer reads when things are normal. Then I will have the baseline for determining fever. The only issue is that it is a laser beam, so when using it on any person who is awake, be sure the laser doesn't hit them in the eye!

No, it reads the surface temperature of whatever object you point it at. You can't "point it" at clear air -- it will read the temperature of the surface across the room.

To the best of my knowledge, it doesn't. You need to put 2 fingers on the watch sensors to get a pulse reading.

No. It calculates the estimate by skin temperature, movement, and some other things through the sensor. I use both armband and a polar hrm and they are pretty much the same for my activity. Sometimes the hrm will be moreand ssometimes it's less.

I don't think it should be used for that. First it is a laser light, and you should avoid shining it on skin or inside a body -- in the eyes it may blind you, and on the skin for a prolonged period may burn it. Second, to take a person's temperature you should take the internal temp, not the external because the skin temp varies too much to tell you if a person has a fever or not anyway.

No. While it is a "thermometer," it really only checks the temperature of the surface of an item. It is not intended to tell the internal temperature of an item. For the price though, I would still recommend the purchase because you can easily tell the temperature of your pans, pots etc.

Yes. There's a switch on the bottom of the device to choose either Fahrenheit or Celsius readout.
