Multi-sensor thermal outdoor camera for TCP/IP networks

Breda, The Netherlands

Thermal imaging cameras are becoming more and more popular for security and surveillance applications. Many users require thermal imaging cameras that can seamlessly be integrated in new or existing TCP/IP networks. The new FLIR D-Series outdoor dome Multi-Sensor thermal imaging cameras are an answer to their demands.
D-Series thermal security cameras let users see intruders and other threats to a facility clearly in total darkness and in bad weather. The D-Series outdoor dome enclosure provides precision pan/tilt control while providing fully programmable scan patterns and slew-to-alarm functionality. Fully enabled for control and operation over IP and serial networks, D-Series systems deploy a 320 × 240 thermal imager along with a day/night 36× zoom color CCD
camera.

D-Series thermal imaging cameras incorporate an advanced uncooled Vanadium Oxide microbolometer detector. Producing crisp thermal images of 320 x 240 pixels on which the smallest of details can be seen.

Advanced internal camera software delivers a crisp image without the need for user adjustments. It provides high quality thermal imaging in any night- or daytime environmental conditions. There is no need for the expense or complication of added lighting infrastructure.

Wide variety of lenses
Depending on his needs, the user can choose for the following lens options:
- D-348: 9 mm lens - Field of view: 48°(H) x 39°(V)
- D-334: 13 mm lens - Field of view: 34°(H) x 28°(V)
- D-324: 19 mm lens - Field of view: 24°(H) x 19°(V)
- D-313: 35 mm lens - Field of view: 13°(H) x 10°(V)

The D-Series provide high contrast imagery optimized to get the most out of video analytics software. Digital Detail Enhancement ensures clear, properly contrasted thermal images in all weather conditions.

Equipped with an “athermal lens”, all D-Series are able to maintain focus no matter what the environmental temperature is. There is no need for user adjustments.

Equipped with a 35 mm lens, the D-313 is designed for mid-range security and surveillance applications. The D-313 has a 13° field of view. With the D-313 you will be able to detect a man-sized target at a distance of over 790 meter.

All D-Series thermal imaging cameras are installed on a precision pan/tilt mechanism. It allows the user to rotate the camera 360° continuously and to tilt it +45° to -180°. This drastically increases situational awareness. The Pan/Tilt has 128 preset positions. Ideal if you want to scan an area continuously.

All versions are equipped with a long range daylight/low light camera. The video output of the thermal imaging and daylight/low light camera are simultaneously available. The daylight camera offers a 36x optical zoom.

Various options exist to connect the D-Series and integrate them in your existing CCTV infrastructure providing early detection and visibility 24/7 all year round. They can be configured for stand alone use, as part of a network or in a hybrid configuration with local and network based control:
- Analog configuration:
Simply connect the D-Series over RS-232, RS-422 or RS-485 to a remote control panel. Pelco D and Bosch commands are used for common functions. A video cable can be connected to any existing multi-function display that accepts composite video.
- TCP/IP configuration:
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, you can monitor all activity over the network, even when you are thousands of kilometers away.

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

Each D-Series camera comes with a single sensor copy of FLIR Sensors Manager. This intuitive software allows managing and controlling a D-Series camera in a TCP/IP network.

The D-Series can be easily connected to common power and video interfaces found in existing and new security systems. It can be easily integrated into any existing CCTV infrastructure providing early detection and visibility 24/7 all the year round. The video can be displayed on virtually any existing display that accepts composite video.

The D-Series are extremely rugged systems. Their vital core is well protected, meeting IP66 requirements, against dust and water. The D-Series operate between -25°C and +55°C. They have a built-in heater which ensures a clear lens and perfect infrared images displayed on your monitor even in extremely cold environments
