D-Series Camera Installation
1.3
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. Analog video will require a connection to a video monitor or
an analog matrix/switch. The IP video will require a connection to an Ethernet network switch and a
computer with the appropriate software for viewing the video stream.

Installation Overview
The D-Series Camera is a multi-sensor thermal imaging camera system intended for outdoor security
applications. The system has a pan/tilt gimbal assembly with a dual payload that includes:
•
An uncooled thermal imaging camera with fixed Field of View (FOV)
•
A daylight camera with continuous zoom
It is shipped from the factory in one of two configurations,
either ball up
1
or ball down, depending on the model
number ordered. The D-Series
camera is intended to be
mounted on a heavy-duty fixed pedestal or wall mount
commonly used in the security industry. The camera
mount must support at least 11.4 kg (25 lbs).
The camera can be attached to the mount with a single
1.5” NPT stainless steel threaded coupler which is
supplied with the camera. Optionally the camera can also
be mounted to a surface with M5 fasteners (quantity 6).
The electrical connections can be made with a short pigtail
cable assembly which exits the base of the camera. The
camera will typically be mounted (either directly or via a
short coupler) to a water-tight enclosure for the pigtail
connections. In order to install the camera, it is not
necessary to open the camera’s electronics enclosure.
The pigtail connectors range in length from 300 mm (11.8 in) minimum to 450 mm (17.7 in) maximum.
1. A camera mounted in the ball up position has a limited range of downward tilt. The range of
tilt motion is 25° to -90° when ball down, -25° to 90° when ball up.
