1.3 Camera Overview
The D-Series camera is both an analog and an IP camera. The video from the camera can be viewed
over a traditional analog video network or it can be viewed by streaming it over an IP network using
MPEG-4, M-JPEG, and H.264 encoding. Analog video will require a connection to a video monitor or
an analog matrix/switch. The IP video will require a connection to an Ethernet network switch and a
computer with the appropriate software for viewing the video stream.
1.4 Installation Overview
The D-Series Camera is a multi-sensor thermal imaging camera system intended for outdoor security
applications. The system has a pan/tilt gimbal assembly with a dual payload that includes:
• An uncooled thermal imaging camera with fixed Field of View (FOV)
• A daylight camera with continuous zoom
It is shipped from the factory in one of two configurations,
either ball up
1
or ball down, depending on the model
number ordered. The D-Series camera is intended to be
mounted on a heavy-duty fixed pedestal or wall mount
commonly used in the security industry. The camera
mount must support at least 11.4 kg (25 lbs).
The camera can be attached to the mount with a single
1.5” NPT stainless steel threaded coupler which is
supplied with the camera. Optionally the camera can also
be mounted to a surface with M5 fasteners (quantity 6).
The electrical connections can be made with a short pigtail
cable assembly which exits the base of the camera. The
camera will typically be mounted (either directly or via a
short coupler) to a water-tight enclosure for the pigtail
connections. In order to install the camera, it is not
necessary to open the camera’s electronics enclosure.
The pigtail connectors range in length from 300 mm (11.8 in) minimum to 450 mm (17.7 in) maximum.
1. A camera mounted in the ball up position has a limited range of downward tilt. The range of
tilt motion is 25° to -90° when ball down, -25° to 90° when ball up.
427-9030-01-12 Version 140 March 2018 5
1 D-Series Camera Installation
1.5 Camera Connection Options
The camera can be powered with a conventional 24 Vac/Vd c powe r supply:
21 Vac to 30 Vac, or
21 Vdc to 30 Vdc.
The D-Series Camera produces analog or digital (IP) video output (or both). Analog video will require
at least one connection to a video monitor or an analog video matrix switch. In most analog
installations, two video connections will be used—one for the thermal camera video, and one for the
daylight camera video. The camera pigtail provides two BNC connectors for these video channels.
An Ethernet connection is provided for IP video streaming and for command and control
communications (pan/tilt/zoom/etc.). A PC or laptop with a web browser is also required for camera
configuration and maintenance (software/firmware updates).
For analog installations that are not using Ethernet/IP, a serial cable (RS232 or RS422) can optionally
be connected and used for command and control communications, supporting either Pelco D or Bosch
protocols. In installations using analog video and serial communications, it is recommended an
Ethernet cable is installed for camera configuration and troubleshooting using a PC with a web
browser.
For installations where the camera is mounted on a tower or pole or other location that may be difficult
to access, it is recommended the Ethernet connection should be installed from the camera down to
ground level at a minimum, to allow easier access.
1.5.1 Supplied Components
The D-Series camera package includes these standard components:
• Multi-sensor Pan/Tilt Camera Gimbal Assembly
• Stainless Steel threaded coupler (1.5” OD)
• Power connectors (qty 3)
• Ethernet coupler (RJ-45 jacks at each end)
Accessories are available from FLIR Systems, Inc. Contact your FLIR Dealer or integrator for up-todate information.
1.5.2 Required Supplies
The installer will supply the following items, as needed (specific to the installation).
• Water-tight enclosure for the connections
• 24 Vac or 24 Vdc power supply
• Power cable for system power; 3-conductor, shielded, gauge determined by cable length and

1.6 Location Considerations
The camera will require connections for power, video and communications. Ensure that cable
distances do not exceed the specifications and that cables adhere to all local and industry standards,
codes, and best practices. The D-Series camera should be mounted upright (ball up) or upside down
(ball down), depending on the model ordered. The camera should be mounted such that the FLIR logo
on the side of the camera is right-side up and readable.
A ball-up camera model can be mounted on top of the mounting surface. A ball-down camera model
can be mounted under an overhanging mounting arm, or underneath an overhanging mounting
surface such as eaves or an awning.
Note
If the camera is to be mounted on a pole or tower or other hard-to-reach location, connect and operate
the camera as a bench test at ground level prior to mounting the camera in its final location.

1.6.1 Prior to Cutting/Drilling Holes
When selecting a mounting location for the D-Series camera, consider cable lengths and cable routing.
Ensure the cables are long enough, given the proposed mounting locations and cable routing
requirements, and route the cables before you install the components.
Use cables that have sufficient dimensions to ensure safety (for power cables) and adequate signal
strength (for video and communications).
Caution!
There is no need to open the electronics enclosure. All settings and adjustments are done through
software. There are no user-serviceable parts inside the camera enclosure.
1.7 Camera Mounting
The camera mount must nominally be rated to support at least 11.4 kg (25 lbs). For some installations,
the mount must support even greater weights. Use a mount which will provide adequate support in
adverse weather and environmental conditions. The D-Series camera can be secured to the mount
two ways:
• 1.5 in. NPT threaded coupler
Intended for rigid mounting with the supplied NPT stainless steel coupler, or equivalent.
Use PTFE pipe seal tape or equivalent on the coupler.
• M5 x 0.8 fasteners (quantity 6)
If using four M5 x 0.8 fasteners, the maximum depth of the fastener should not exceed 10.0 mm
(0.394 in). Use Loctite 222 low strength threadlocker for the M5 fasteners.
Refer to the ICD for additional information (FLIR Doc. # 427-9XXX-XX-19).

Select a water-tight enclosure for the connections that allows adequate space for the cable
connections. This requirement may vary, depending on the installation. Do not exceed the bend radius
per the recommendation of the cable manufacturer. The typical cable bend radius is 50 mm to 75 mm
(2-3 in).
1.8 Camera Connections
Do not disassemble the camera, as it will void the camera warranty and could lead to damage if the
camera is not resealed properly.

The power cable supplied by the installer must use wires that are sufficient size gauge for the supply
voltage and length of the cable run, to ensure adequate current carrying capacity (for most installations
18 AWG is recommended). Always follow local building/safety codes.
Note
The supplied connectors for the power connections will accept 16 AWG to 24 AWG wire size.
427-9030-01-12 Version 140 March 2018 9
1 D-Series Camera Installation
The camera itself does not have an on/off switch. Generally the D-Series camera may be connected to
a circuit breaker and the circuit breaker will be used to apply or remove power to the camera. If power
is supplied to it, the camera will be powered on and operating.
1.8.2 Camera Grounding
Ensure the camera is properly grounded. Failure to properly ground the camera can lead to permanent
damage to the camera. Typical to good grounding practices, the camera chassis ground should be
connected to the lowest resistance path possible.
Grounding of the camera is accomplished by terminating the ground wire (clear wire of the power
cable pigtail). Additional grounding can be accomplished by connecting a grounding strap to one of the
6X bolt locations on the unit's mounting surface, with the other end connected to the nearest earthgrounding point.
1.8.3 Analog Video Connections
The analog video connections from the camera use female BNC connectors. The video cable supplied
by the installer should be rated as RG-59/U or better to ensure a quality video signal and should be
terminated with male BNC connectors.
1.8.4 Ethernet
The Ethernet pigtail cable is terminated with an RJ-45 plug. Connect the supplied Ethernet coupler to
the pigtail cable, then connect a shielded cat5e/6 Ethernet cable to the other end of the Ethernet
coupler. Connect the far end of the Ethernet cable to a network switch.
1.8.5 Serial Connection
By default, the serial interface uses the Pelco D protocol, RS-422 standard, 9600 baud rate (8/none/1),
and address 1. The pigtail serial connection provides a female DB9 connector. The pinouts are as

2 Basic Operation and Configuration
This chapter provides basic information on how to operate the D-Series camera. A bench test can be
used to verify camera operation before the camera is configured for the local network. This chapter
also provides general configuration information.
2.1 IP Camera, ONVIF Profile S Compliant
When the camera is connected to the network it functions as a server; providing services such as
camera control, video streaming, network communications, and geo-referencing capabilities. The
communications protocol used is an open, standards-based protocol that allows the server to
communicate with a video management client, such as FLIR Latitude or with a third-party VMS client,
including systems that are compatible with ONVIF Profile S. These clients can be used to control the
camera and stream video during day-to-day operations. Refer to the individual product web page at
https://www.flir.com/browse/security/thermal-security-cameras/ for a listing of supported VMS clients.
2.1.1 Serial and/or IP Communications
For a camera that is installed in a legacy-type CCTV network using analog video, the camera may
commonly be controlled with serial communications. The serial cable from the camera will be
connected to a keyboard/joystick device, or to a video switch, encoder, or DVR that has a serial
communication port. In this case the installer may want to configure parameters such as the address of
the camera, the baud rate, and so on. These parameters can be set through software using a web
browser. The parameters can also be set using DIP switches when IP communications are not used.
2.1.2 Server Configuration
It may be necessary for the installer to make a limited number of configuration changes to the camera
server, such as setting the IP communication parameters, setting new login passwords, as well as
some scene specific parameters. For example, each camera comes from the factory with the same
default IP address, so adding more than one camera to an IP network requires each camera to be
configured with a different IP address. On the other hand, many of the configuration parameters will
remain unchanged from the factory default settings.
2.2 Camera Bench Test
Since the camera offers both analog video and IP video, it is recommended that the installer test the
camera using the same type of connections as the final installation. If using analog video and serial
communications in the final installation, also test the IP communications when performing the bench
test. If any image adjustments are necessary, they can be done using a web browser over the IP
connection, and saved as power-on default settings.
Test serial communications by connecting a serial device such as a keyboard and confirm the camera
is responding to serial commands. It may be necessary to configure the serial device interface to
operate with the camera.
Once the camera is connected to a network and powered on, set camera network parameters using
the FLIR Discovery Network Assistant (DNA) software, perform a bench test by using a web browser to
view the video and control the camera, or view video in the local Network Video Management System
(for example, FLIR Latitude
