Please read the user manual for complete product information. If you have questions

please call our Toll-Free Consumer Help Line at 866.667.7732 for assistance.

STEP 1: POWER TO THE CAMERA

The Duo Pro R requires 12W to function correctly. The camera cannot be powered via a computer
USB port or most cell phone chargers. For power via USB-C, FLIR recommends a wall charger
capable of supplying at least 12W.

The Duo Pro R can be powered through the USB-C port or through the 10-pin JST port using the
cables included with the camera.

On initial power-up, LED 2 will ash red for approximately 15 seconds then change to solid Blue;
LED 1 will turn solid green. This indicates that the device is ready for use.

STEP 2: DISPLAY VIDEO

Duo Pro R can display either analog or digital video. To display analog video to a monitor or
television, use the yellow RCA plug on the supplied Bench Cable to connect Duo Pro R to the
monitor’s video input.

For digital video, connect your camera to an HDMI display through the micro-HDMI camera port.
This will automatically disable the analog video output and turn on the HDMI output.

STEP 3: RECORDING VIDEO

Press the Record button to start recording video to the included memory cards. LED 1 will blink
red to indicate active recording, and the camera will beep. Press the Record button again to stop
recording video.

STEP 4: RETRIEVE RECORDINGS

There are two ways to retrieve recorded video & image les from the Duo Pro R:

• Remove the SD cards from the camera and read the les using an SD card
reader (included on some laptops).

• With the camera powered through the 10-pin JST connector, connect the
camera to a computer using the included USB cable. Note that the camera
must be powered through the 10-pin connection, as most computers cannot
supply 12W through USB to sufciently power the Duo Pro R.

STEP 5: ACTIVATING BLUETOOTH

When LED 2 is blue, the camera’s Bluetooth is active and you can connect to it via the FLIR UAS
mobile app. Bluetooth is enabled upon camera boot up, but automatically disables after two
minutes of no activity (LED 2 will turn green). Press the Bluetooth button on the camera at any
time to reactivate Bluetooth.

STEP 6: CONNECTING TO CAMERA BLUETOOTH

Download the FLIR UAS mobile app from Google Android Play Store or Apple iOS App Store. This
connects to the camera over Bluetooth so that you can change camera settings and start or stop
recording remotely. Launch the FLIR UAS app and it will automatically display a list of cameras
nearby. Select your Duo Pro R and wait for settings to sync.

• Note that no images are transferred to the phone: all recordings are saved
to the onboard SD cards.

STEP 7: CONFIGURE DUO PRO R WITH THE APP

The FLIR UAS app lets you congure many of your camera’s functions and options. Here are a
few to get you started:

• Choose between Thermal, Visible, and Picture-in-Picture video display modes

• Change the IR color palette to apply different thermal colorization schemes to your
infrared images and video.

• Switch between video and still image recording modes.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

My camera keeps turning on and off when I connect it to power. What’s wrong?

Ensure that your camera is connected to an adequate power source. Plugging into a computer
USB port or a standard cellphone charger does not provide enough power for the Duo Pro R to
operate correctly. FLIR recommends a tablet charger capable of at least 12 watts.

Why doesn’t my camera connect to the FLIR UAS mobile app?

Verify Bluetooth is enabled – LED 2 should be blue. Press the Bluetooth button on the camera
to toggle Bluetooth on and off.

Is there an internal battery?

Duo Pro R does not have an internal battery, as it is designed for lightweight integration plat­forms that can provide power to the camera, such as small Unmanned Aerial Systems (sUAS)
and drones. Evaluate your sUAS for available power connections.

How do I mount on my airframe?

There are two ¼”-20 tripod mounting interfaces on the bottom of the camera. This enables
mounting to many commercially-available gimbals.

What are Radiometric JPEG images?

Radiometric JPEG images have temperature data embedded in each pixel, and can be analyzed
with FLIR’s free FLIR Tools software. FLIR Tools can be used to view infrared, visible, and MSX
blended images, as well as to thermally tune images to bring out the details you need.
