2.0 INTRODUCTION

The SR-Series Thermal Camera you have purchased is a sophisticated thermal imaging camera that provides excellent night visibility and situational awareness, even in absolute darkness. The camera has a standard video output that works with digital video recording devices, video motion detection software or off-the-shelf video encoders.

FLIR’s powerful SR-Series thermal security cameras compliment and complete your security camera network. They turn night into day, allowing you to see intruders invisible to the naked eye. SR-Series cameras create video images from infrared thermal energy (heat), and perform well at night and day, in good weather and bad. The SR Series thermal surveillance camera system is intended for various commercial and industrial applications, including security and surveillance.

Figure 2-1 : Daylight camera on left; Thermal image on right

Observe that the image on the left from an ordinary daylight camera is obscured by fog; the thermal image on the right provides clear details.

The SR-Series camera is designed for simple, intuitive installation and operation. Each camera is based on FLIR’s widely-deployed uncooled microbolometer imaging core. All cameras include FLIR’s advanced image processing techniques which deliver excellent contrast regardless of scene dynamics. Unlike other night vision systems that require low amounts of light to generate an image, the SR-Series thermal imagers need no light at all.

2.1 SR-Series Camera Models

The cameras are available with a choice of lenses for short-, medium- and long-range surveillance capability.

SR-100

The 7° horizontal field of view of the SR-100 provides long range surveillance with high visual acuity of distant targets. The camera features a motorized lens for adjustable focus. Like all SRseries cameras, the SR-100 can be used on a fixed mount or pan/tilt platform and provides crisp, clear thermal imagery in total darkness, light fog or smoke.

SR-100P

The SR-100P camera features a pressurized enclosure for added environmental protection and the same focal length as the SR-100 camera (100mm, 7° FOV). This camera has a sealed and pressurized outdoor enclosure that is designed to protect the camera and lens components in adverse environmental conditions.

SR-50

Utilizing a 50mm lens, the SR-50 serves as a medium-range surveillance camera and provides a 14° HFOV. This focal length is widely deployed because it provides an even balance between situational awareness and detailed perspective.

SR-35

The SR-35 camera features a focal length of 35mm, providing a short to medium field of view of 20° and is well-suited for short range threat detection in all circumstances.

SR-19

The SR-19 camera features a focal length of 19mm (36° HFOV) and, like the other SR-series cameras, has a standard resolution Focal Plane Array (FPA) with 320 (H) x 240(V) pixels. It gives you an extremely wide field of view, so that you can cover a large area and keep excellent situational awareness.

VSR-6

The VSR-6 is an extremely affordable thermal imager with a focal length of 6.3mm (52° Horizontal Field of View or HFOV). It features the same thermal imaging technology found in many of FLIR’s most sophisticated security and surveillance systems, but is packaged for users who have short-range security and surveillance as their primary application. The camera has a standard resolution FPA that is windowed down to 160(H) x 120(V) pixels. The wide field of view allows it to cover a large area and provide excellent situational awareness.

2.2 Serial Remote Control

The SR-Series cameras support serial communication for control of camera focus and other features. Each camera is pre-configured at the factory to support either RS-232 or RS-422 protocol. The serial protocol is user-configurable via a switch on all cameras except SR-100 and SR-100P.

The following table provides a list of the serial protocol supported on each SR-Series camera model.

Camera Available Protocol

VSR-6

SR-19

SR-35

SR-50

User configurable as RS-232 or RS-422 via DIP switch, RS-232 default

SR-100

SR-100P

RS-422 Standard, RS-232 optional (factory option, not user-configurable)

Table 1: Serial Communication Options

Users can control the camera through a Windows®-based graphical user interface. Users can also control the SR-100 and SR-100P cameras with devices that support the Pelco® D protocol. Either method allows the user to operate the following functions or features:

• Camera focus (SR-100 and SR-100P only)

• Digital zoom (2X)

• Selectable Automatic Gain Control (AGC) and Dynamic Detail Enhancement (DDE)

settings for optimization of video imagery

• Camera Palette (also known as Polarity) - by default the White Hot palette is used; alternatively the Black Hot palette displays warmer objects as black or dark rather than white or light shades. Additional pseudo color palettes are available using the application software supplied with the camera.

2.3 Camera Enclosures

SR-Series cameras are packaged in environmental enclosures that meet IPX6 test standards. Refer to section 9.0 SR-Series Camera Specifications sun shroud around the enclosure helps regulate the camera temperature in direct-sun installations. Each camera uses an athermalized lens (except for the SR-100P) and a lens or window heater to provide sharp imagery in all temperature and weather conditions, ensuring a clear lens and high-quality infrared video, even in extremely cold environments.

for additional information. The camera’s

Figure 2-3: SR-35 Camera with and without the Environmental Enclosure

The SR-100P camera uses an enclosure that is sealed and pressurized for additional outdoor protection in adverse conditions.

Figure 2-4: SR-100P with Sun Shroud

The SR-100P enclosure is pressurized with dry nitrogen to prevent impurities from contaminating the camera and lens components. The camera can be pressurized in the field, and a pressure relief valve prevents overcharging of the enclosure.

3.2 Ground Connection

The SR-Series cameras have grounding and surge protection to provide further immunity from high current transients that can occur in installations that are subject to electrical storms and/or

nearby lightning events. In order to ensure CE and FCC compliance as well as to protect against these high current events, installers are required to provide an Earth connection to a

specific connection on the camera. Note: a ground connection to the exterior of the camera (for example, to the mounting foot) is insufficient.

When the camera is shipped from FLIR, an internal ground wire (green) connects the interface board to the Earth Ground Lug, located on the inside of the rear of the enclosure disconnected during the installation, it must be reconnected. For proper installation, a ground connection from an external Earth ground must be connected to the Earth Ground Lug as shown in Figure 3-2: Earth Ground Connection. Typically the Earth ground connection will be part of the power cable bundle.

Caution! The camera must be installed according to industry-standard practices and local

electrical codes. Failure to properly connect the enclosure and the electrical interface board to ground could result in damage to the camera and possible bodily injury.

On the SR-100P camera, the Earth Ground Lug is located on the outside of the rear of the enclosure.

Refer to section 5.0 SR-100P Installation

for SR-100P installation details.

3.3 Input Power

The SR-Series cameras operate on either 24VDC or 24VAC power (nominal). Refer to the section titled SR-Series Camera Specifications provide screw-terminals for receiving tinned leads for input power. For details on how to connect the leads, refer to the installation section for each specific camera below. The power cable should be twisted pair or triple, with an overall shield or conduit connected to the enclosure rear panel ground lug, as described in the previous section.

The system is fuse-protected against over-voltage conditions. A blown fuse is an indication either that the circuit has been overloaded or that a short circuit has occurred somewhere in the circuit. A wiring problem may be placing too much of a load on the circuit if a fuse blows after plugging in or turning on the camera. Before replacing the fuse it is important to identify what has caused it to fail.

Prior to changing a fuse, turn off the electrical circuit or completely disconnect the camera. Make certain that no dangerous condition exists before restoring power. Replace the fuse with a fuse that is of the same rating and proper for the circuit. Never use anything other than a fuse of proper rating.

Caution! Failure to disconnect power to the camera while replacing a fuse could result in

accidental injury or death.

for additional power requirements. The cameras

3.4 Serial Communications

For serial communications, there are several choices available to the installer and the camera user. Refer to Table 1: Serial Communication Options in section 2.2 for a list of the protocols supported by each camera.

If the camera is configured for RS-232 protocol, then the likely choice for camera control and configuration is a PC or laptop running the appropriate graphical user interface (GUI) software, which is included with the camera or downloaded from the FLIR website. For the SR-100 and SR-100P cameras, the software is known as “TVIS-7 User Interface” (refer to section 11.0 SR100 & SR-100P Control Using TVIS-7 User Interface for more information). For the other cameras, the Photon GUI is used.

If the camera is configured for RS-422, then a communication protocol converter (also known as a serial 232-422 converter) can be used to connect to a laptop or PC running the appropriate GUI software, allowing a longer cable run. If the SR-100 or SR-100P is configured for RS-422, then a Pelco D compatible keyboard or other device supporting RS-422 or RS-485 may be used. The following diagram illustrates these options.
