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.

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.

2.1 SR-Series Camera Models

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.
