Camera Overview - FLIR Elara DX Series Installation And User Manual

Camera Overview

1 Camera Overview
Elara DX-Series cameras include a thermal sensor with digital zoom; a 4K visible light camera with 31x
optical zoom; audio; digital I/O; near-infrared (NIR) illumination; laser focus technology (LiDAR); a camera
lens window wiper (wash kit available as an optional accessory); and automatic side heat sensors. When
the camera is connected to an IP network, it functions as a server, providing services such as camera
control, video streaming, and network communications. The server uses an open, standards-based
communication protocol to communicate with FLIR and third-party video management system (VMS)
clients, including systems that are compatible with ONVIF®. These clients can be used to control the
camera and stream video during day-to-day operations. For a list of supported VMS clients, refer to the
product's web page on FLIR.com.
The video from the camera is viewed by streaming it over an IP network using MJPEG and H.264
encoding.
Elara DX-Series cameras are components within the FLIR Thermal Fence, which combines FLIR thermal
security cameras, the FLIR Cloud, and control and management software in a fully integrated perimeter
security solution. The FLIR Thermal Fence provides automated perimeter surveillance, intrusion
detection, and alert capabilities for perimeter security applications. The FLIR Thermal Fence gives you
instant, automated threat detection and visual threat assessment capability around the clock in one easy-
to-use package.
