D-Series Camera Installation Camera Overview The D-Series camera is both an analog and an IP camera. The video from the camera can be viewed over a traditional analog video network or it can be viewed by streaming it over an IP network using MPEG-4, M-JPEG, and H.264 encoding.
• Power connectors (qty 3) • Ethernet coupler (RJ-45 jacks at each end) Accessories are available from FLIR Systems, Inc. Contact your FLIR Dealer or integrator for up-to- date information. 1.5.2 Required Supplies The installer will supply the following items, as needed (specific to the installation).
The D-Series camera should be mounted upright (ball up) or upside down (ball down), depending on the model ordered. The camera should be mounted such that the FLIR logo on the side of the camera is right-side up and readable.
If using four M5 x 0.8 fasteners, the maximum depth of the fastener should not exceed 10.0 mm (0.394 in). Use Loctite 222 low strength threadlocker for the M5 fasteners. Refer to the ICD for additional information (FLIR Doc. # 427-9XXX-XX-19). (2.598) 66.00...

Once the camera is connected to a network and powered on, set camera network parameters using the FLIR Discovery Network Assistant (DNA) software, perform a bench test by using a web browser to view the video and control the camera, or view video in the local Network Video Management System (for example, FLIR Latitude ).
Basic Operation and Configuration 2.2.1 Set IP Address using the FLIR Discovery Network Assistant (DNA) The D-Series camera is shipped with a static IP address: 192.168.250.116. Assuming the existing network uses IP addresses that are unique and different than the default address on the camera,...
Basic Operation and Configuration Log into the Camera Web Page Use a web browser to connect to the camera’s web server using one of three User Names: user, expert, or admin (the default passwords are user, expert, and admin respectively). The user login can be used to do the initial bench test of the camera.
NVR. If the live video is not displayed, refer to Help The Help menu displays software version information. If it is necessary to contact FLIR Technical Support for assistance, it will be helpful to have the information from this page on hand.
Save snapshot Video stream This same web interface is used with various FLIR thermal cameras, some of which have different capabilities. As a result, different buttons in the control panel will appear for different FLIR cameras. Go to Preset position.

Basic Operation and Configuration Toggle Video Source This button causes the active video source to be switched between the thermal IR camera Sensor > Devices > IR > Zoom Slave, pg. and the daylight camera. Also, refer to Toggle Polarity—IR only This button changes the way various objects are displayed in the image, for example, with hot objects displayed as white and cold objects as black, or vice versa.
Basic Operation and Configuration Pan/Tilt Home This button causes the camera to go to the Home position. To set a new Home position, hold the button for approximately 3 seconds. Go to Preset The D-Series camera can have a set of predetermined pan/tilt locations, each of which is known as a preset.

Basic Operation and Configuration Contrast (Max Gain) can be used to increase contrast, especially for scenes with little • temperature variation (it may also increase noise due to increased gain). • Sharpness (DDE Gain) is used to enhance image details and/or suppress fixed pattern noise. Positive values increase Sharpness, while negative values soften the image and filter fixed pattern noise.

Basic Operation and Configuration Surveillance > Scan List To setup Presets: position camera, select Preset ID Click Set Surveillance > Auto Scan To start Auto Scan: select width and speed, then select Start Set Autoscan parameters: select speed, select limits, click Save Relative Auto Scan (Surveillance mode) will scan the scene starting with the current position of the camera.
Basic Operation and Configuration 2.4.3 Maintenance Menu When a user logs in as admin, a complete Maintenance menu is available. The basic camera configuration steps are accessed through the Maintenance menu, using the Server submenu on the left side of the page.The LAN Settings, Date and Time, Server Status, and Security Options selections are described below.
Page 25
Basic Operation and Configuration Server > Services > Date and Time The date, time, and time zone can be obtained from an NTP server, or can be entered manually. If the NTP mode is selected, the NTP server information can be entered. The NTP server address can be entered as a static address or can be obtained via DHCP.
Page 26
Basic Operation and Configuration Server > Server Status The Server Status page provides an indication of the current server status (either running or stopped) and buttons for starting or stopping the server and for rebooting the system. The Uptime section of the Server Status page shows how long the camera has been running, number of users, and the load on the camera processor.
Page 27
Basic Operation and Configuration Server > Security Options Use the Security Options page to restrict access through the camera web server to specific IP addresses and to set or change passwords. The admin login can change or set any password. The expert login can only configure the expert login password.
Page 28
Basic Operation and Configuration Sensor > Communications > Serial Remote In some installations, a serial device such as a keyboard, joystick, or other device is used to control camera functions such as pan/tilt or zoom. A serial device can also be used to access functions that are specific to thermal cameras, such as changing the polarity from white hot to black hot.

CCTV camera, control commands that allow access to more advanced features, or features that are specific to a particular type of equipment, are available through extensions to the serial protocol. These extended commands are quite useful when controlling features that are specific to FLIR thermal cameras.

By default, four video streams are enabled for the camera: Video 0, Video 1, Video 2, and Video 3. The streams are available for viewing from a client program such as FLIR Latitude, a stand-alone video player, or a third-party VMS including ONVIF systems. By default, Video 0 and Video 1 are from the IR sensor, while Video 2 and Video 3 are from the visible camera.

(RTCP) and Real Time Streaming Protocol (RTSP). In the background, a “negotiation” takes place to establish a session between the client (such as FLIR Latitude, a third party VMS, or video player) and the camera. The ports which form a session are negotiated using a protocol such as RTSP. A client typically requests a video stream using its preferred settings, and the camera can respond with its preferred settings.

Basic Operation and Configuration Files > Configuration The Configuration page allows the Nexus Server configuration to be displayed or backed up locally (on the camera). The configuration file can also be downloaded to another computer for backup, or a new configuration file can be uploaded from a computer to the camera. Shown at the top of the page is the configuration script file in a scrollable window.
Basic Operation and Configuration Files > Log > Field Support Log Scroll down and select the Download button under Field Support Log to download a zip file to the computer for field service evaluation. Thermal Imaging Overview The thermal camera makes an image based on temperature differences. In the thermal image, by default the hottest item in the scene appears as white and the coldest item is black, and all other items are represented as a gray scale value between white and black.
RCA connection inside the camera and determine if it produces an image. If the camera still does not produce an image, contact the FLIR dealer or reseller who provided the camera, or contact FLIR directly (contact information is provided on the rear cover of this manual).
