9.4 Digital camera
the Camera & Waveform Snapshot button.
Holding the Camera & Waveform Snapshot button for more than 2 seconds launches a camera screen.
The camera screen can also be launched from the main menu camera button. This shows the viewfinder
of the camera and provides buttons to take a still picture, turn on the backlight or transmit video.
It is possible to capture and send still digital pictures using the camera built into the device. If the Tempus is
connected to a Response Centre, then the image is sent immediately automatically. If it is not connected,
the image is stored and can be uploaded later if a connection to the Response Centre is made. Digital
pictures are shown live on the Tempus Pro screen so that you can see what the camera is seeing. When
you are happy with the displayed image, you capture the picture and can then send it to the Response
Centre. After pressing the “Take a photo” button the Tempus will display a 3 second countdown during
which time the photo can be cancelled without being saved or transmitted.
A backlight is provided to help light the subject.
Real-time video can be transmitted if a data connection with sufficient bandwidth is connected to the
Response Centre.
Note
Do not look directly at the backlight or shine in eyes unnecessarily.
Note
The camera is intended to allow photos of the patient to be taken (as part of the care record)
or to be transmitted to enable the user at the Response Centre to see the patient (e.g.
helping to decide the best care path and options will be aided by being able to see the
patient). The Tempus Pro is NOT a teledermatology system or similar device.
