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 : 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. 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 SR-

series 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. The pressurized enclosure increases the camera reliability

and reduces the cost of maintenance.

SR-50

Utilizing a 50mm lens, the SR-50 serves as a medium- to long-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.

2.1 Advantages of Thermal Imaging

Originally developed for the military, thermal imaging cameras are now deployed in numerous

commercial applications where it is impractical or too expensive to use active illumination

(lights). It is perfect for wide-area surveillance in critical infrastructure or high-value residence

installations where lighting is unwelcome or impractical. The camera also provides improved

daytime surveillance in environments where traditional CCTV security camera performance

suffers, such as in shadows, backlit scenes or through foliage.

Figure 3: Backlit daylight camera on left; thermal image on right

Observe that the setting sun in the backlit image on the left makes it difficult to discern any

objects of interest; the thermal image on the right is not affected by the bright sun and therefore

provides detail and contrast.

The SR-Series

is designed to be a drop-in replacement for current systems employing daylight cameras. Initial setup of the system includes connecting power supply leads for the input power and a BNC cable for monitoring output video. Optionally, a serial cable can be connected to allow control of the camera settings and focus (focus control available on SR-100 and SR-100P only, all other cameras are fixed focus).

2.2 Serial Remote Control

The SR-Series cameras have serial communication leads to connect 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 not user-configurable). Users can control the camera using devices that support the Pelco® D protocol interface.

VSR-6 RS-232

SR-19 RS-232

SR-35 RS-232

SR-50 RS-232

SR-100 RS-422 Standard, RS-232 optional

SR-100P RS-422

The remote control can be used to operate the following functions or features:

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

 Digital zoom (2X and 4X)

 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.

or through a Windows®-based graphical user

The "Pelco Digital Coaxitron" protocol is commonly known as the "Pelco D" protocol.

2.3 Camera Enclosures

SR-Series cameras are packaged in environmental enclosures that meet IPX6 test standards. Refer to section 0 SR-Series Camera Specifications for additional information. The camera’s sun shroud around the enclosure helps regulate the camera temperature in direct-sun installations. Each camera uses an athermalized lens and a lens 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.

Figure 5: 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. The pressurized enclosure increases the camera reliability and reduces the cost of maintenance. The 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.

In order to access the electrical connections for the VSR-6, SR-19, SR -35 and SR-50 cameras, the camera must be removed from its enclosure. With the SR-100 camera, it is only necessary to remove the rear of the enclosure (refer to section 4.0 SR-100 Installation). No disassembly is required for the SR-100P pressurized camera.

The SR-Series provides electrical contacts in the form of screw-terminal jacks, allowing it to receive 10-28 AWG tinned leads from the power supply and serial communication interface.

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 th

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 8: Earth Ground Connection.
