Flir launches new D Series

Brede, The Netherlands

Flir has launched the new D Series of multi-sensor thermal security cameras, housed in ultra-compact networked, outdoor dome enclosures.
The D-Series outdoor dome enclosure provides precision pan/tilt control while providing fully programmable scan patterns, radar slew-to-cue, and slew-to-alarm functionality. Fully enabled for control and operation over IP and serial networks. The D-series combine a thermal imaging camera with a colour CCD camera. This makes them an ideal replacement for day/night dome cameras, providing clear 24/7 imaging capability in an attractive, discrete dome-style enclosure.

The new Flir D-Series are a lot more compact. TCP/IP compatible electronics are integrated in the camera and no longer in a separate box. This also means that the Flir D-Series can now be can be mounted in ball up and ball down position, giving more flexibility.

D-Series systems deploy a 640 x 480 or 320 × 240 pixel thermal imaging camera. To make sure that there is a D-Series for every security application Flir Systems offers a wide variety of lenses. Longer lenses have a narrower field of view and allow the user to spot intruders from further away.

Continuous E-zoom provides enhanced alarm assessment and optimisation of camera field of view. Optionally available on all 640 x 480 pixel models. All versions are also equipped with a long range daylight/low light camera. The daylight camera offers an 36x optical zoom.

The wide dynamic range feature delivers high contrast thermal images in the most diverse conditions. Even when the sun is in the field of view. But also in cold and low contrast thermal scenes. Ideal for working together with video analytics that need properly contrasted images in order not to generate false alarms.

All D-Series thermal imaging cameras come with a precision pan/tilt mechanism, allowing the user to rotate the camera 360° continuously and to tilt it +20° to -90°. This drastically increases situational awareness. The pan/tilt has 128 preset positions, ideal for continuous scanning requirements.

The D-Series can be integrated in any existing TCP/IP network and controlled over a PC. No additional cables are required. Using this configuration, all activity can be monitored over the network, even when the user is thousands of kilometres away. The D-Series are fully ONVIF compliant.

Multiple channels of streaming digital video are available in H.264, MPEG-4, or M-JPEG formats and simultaneous digital and composite video output is standard.

The D-Series can be connected by the integrator to a radar system. If the radar detects an object, the D-Series will automatically turn in the right direction, "slew to cue", and give you a visual image so that you can instantly see what the blip on the radar screen really means.

Each D-Series camera comes with a single sensor copy of Flir Sensors Manager. This intuitive software allows users to manage and control a D-Series camera in a TCP/IP network.
