2.0 INTRODUCTION
The PTZ-35 MS and PTZ-50 MS are high-resolution multi-sensor camera systems designed
specifically for the security market. These small, pan/tilt systems feature a powerful thermal camera,
with 35mm or 50mm lens, as well as a standard high resolution low-light video camera
1, integrated into
a compact weather tight pan and tilt enclosure. The systems can be configured for portable or point-to-
point use, and are compatible with Pelco D protocol (using RS-232 or RS422, depending on the
configuration ordered) and Nexus communications. They are perfect for security and surveillance
applications that demand compact size and rugged performance.
The FLIR system you have purchased includes 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. Thermal imagers are well suited to video analytics – a combination of
best-in-class intruder detection cameras with intelligent 24-hour automated monitoring. Day or night,
thermal cameras provide excellent scene contrast, critical for high-reliability and reduced false alarms,
even during daylight hours.
FLIR’s powerful 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. FLIR PTZ cameras
create video images from infrared thermal energy (heat), and perform well at night and day, in good
weather and bad. The thermal camera system is intended for various commercial and industrial uses,
including security and surveillance applications, such as border / perimeter patrol and security
inspection.
Figure 2: Daylight camera on left; Thermal camera on right
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 PTZ-35/-50 MS camera is designed for simple, intuitive installation and operation. Each thermal
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.
This camera has a sealed outdoor enclosure that is designed to protect the camera and lens
components in adverse environmental conditions. The sealed enclosure increases the camera
reliability and reduces the cost of maintenance.
1 The standard video camera is referred to in this manual generally as a daylight camera or DLTV.
427-0116-00-10 Revision 140 Copyright © 2010 FLIR Systems, Inc. 7 PTZ-35 MS The PTZ-35 MS camera features a focal length of 35mm, providing a short to medium field of view of 20° and is well-suited for short range threat detection in all circumstances. It gives you a wide field of view, so you can cover a large area and keep excellent situational awareness. Like all FLIR thermal cameras, the PTZ-35 MS provides crisp, clear thermal imagery in total darkness, haze, light fog or smoke. PTZ-50 MS Utilizing a 50mm lens, the PTZ-50 MS serves as a medium- to long-range surveillance camera and provides a 14° HFOV. This focal length is widely deployed because it provides an even balance between situational awareness and detailed perspective. Like the PTZ-35 MS camera, the PTZ-50 MS has a standard resolution focal plane array (FPA) with 320 (H) x 240 (V) pixels, the same thermal imaging technology found in many of FLIR’s most sophisticated security and surveillance systems. 2.1 Advantages of Thermal Imaging Originally developed for the military, thermal imaging cameras are now deployed in numerous commercial applications where it is impractical or too expensive to use active illumination (lights). It is perfect for wide-area surveillance in critical infrastructure or high-value residence installations where lighting is unwelcome or impractical. The camera also provides improved daytime surveillance in environments where traditional CCTV security camera performance suffers, such as in shadows, backlit scenes or through foliage. Low-cost infrared illuminated cameras rely on near infrared (NIR) lamps to illuminate threats, resulting in shadows, reflections, backscatter, higher power consumption, narrow areas of illumination and much shorter ranges than passive thermal camera technology. Unlike other night vision systems that require low amounts of light to generate an image, the PTZ-35/- 50 MS thermal imagers need no light at all. The choice of lenses for the cameras allow for short- or medium-range surveillance capability. Figure 3: Backlit daylight camera on left; thermal camera on right Observe that the setting sun in the backlit image on the left makes it difficult to discern any objects of interest; the thermal image on the right is not affected by the bright sun and therefore provides detail and contrast.
427-0116-00-10 Revision 140 Copyright © 2010 FLIR Systems, Inc. 8 The PTZ-35/-50 MS is designed to be compatible with standard security systems employing ordinary daylight cameras. A variety of connection options are available. Each system includes a standard break-out cable that allows connection to power, analog video (one output for the thermal camera and one for the standard video camera) and control (RS-232 and RS-422 are provided, with only one or the other useable at any given time, depending on the configuration ordered). 2.2 Package Contents Refer to the Shipping Check List that is shipped with each camera for a description of the parts and components that are included with the camera. If there is any discrepancy between the list and the contents of your shipment, please contact FLIR Systems Customer Support immediately using the contact information at the front of this manual. Figure 4: PTZ-50 MS camera unit, system cable and break-out cable The camera unit includes the thermal camera and daylight camera on either side of a pan/tilt motor, which is held up by the black pedestal base. The pedestal base is not removable from the camera. The system cable connects to the round connector on the back of the base. For most installations, the system cable will exit to the rear after mounting is completed. The system cable has a female 18 pin sealed connector at one end that connects to the back of the camera base. The other end has a male 32 pin sealed connector that connects to the break-out cable or another device. Refer to section 6.2 Integrated Interface Cable for additional information about the connectors. The break-out cable has a mating 32 pin female sealed connector, and provides connectors for power, video (one for thermal and one for daylight), and serial communications (one DB9F labeled “RS232” and one DB9M labeled “RS422”). Refer to section 0 Breakout Connector Cable for additional information about the individual connectors. Note: When connecting to the RS-422 port on the break-out cable, be sure to note the pin designations as shown in section 0 Breakout Connector Cable. The PTZ-35/-50 uses pins 6, 7, 8 & 9, which may be different than DB9 pin configuration on other FLIR cameras or equipment from other manufacturers.
427-0116-00-10 Revision 140 Copyright © 2010 FLIR Systems, Inc. 9 3.0 SERIAL COMMUNICATIONS The PTZ-35 MS and PTZ-50 MS cameras support serial communication for control of the camera motion and features. The camera is shipped with a graphical user interface (GUI) software that can be used to operate the camera and configure camera settings. The software is titled the ThermoVision SecurityHD User Interface, or commonly referred to as the SHD software. Alternatively, the camera can be controlled with any device that is Pelco-D compatible. For serial communications, there are several choices available to the installer and the camera user. If the camera is configured for RS-232 protocol, then the likely choice for camera control and configuration is a PC or laptop running the SHD software. If the camera is configured for RS-422, then a communication protocol converter (also known as a serial 232-422 converter) can be used to connect to a laptop or PC running the SHD software, allowing a longer cable run. Alternatively the camera can be connected to a device that communicates with the Pelco-D protocol. The following diagram illustrates these communication options.
427-0116-00-10 Revision 140 Copyright © 2010 FLIR Systems, Inc. 10
The cameras can communicate using either the RS-232 standard or, for longer distances typically, the
RS-422 standard. Each camera is pre-configured at the factory to support either the RS-232 or RS-422
signaling standard
2.
Detailed information on using the SHD software is provided in section 5.0 ThermoVision SecurityHD
User Interface. In addition to the customary pan, tilt and zoom control of the camera, users can change
settings that are specific to the thermal camera, including the following functions:
• Selectable Automatic Gain Control (AGC) and Dynamic Detail Enhancement (DDE) settings for
optimization of video imagery
• Camera Palette (also known as Polarity) - by default the White Hot palette is used; alternatively
the Black Hot palette displays warmer objects as black or dark rather than white or light
shades. Additional pseudo color palettes are available using the application software supplied
with the camera.
