2.0 INTRODUCTION
The PTZ-35x140MS and SR-35x140MS are high-resolution multi-sensor (MS) camera systems
designed specifically for the security market for medium- to long-range security applications.
Each model includes a sophisticated thermal imaging system that provides excellent night
visibility and situational awareness, even in absolute darkness, as well as a standard high
resolution low-light video camera
1, integrated into a compact weather enclosure.
Each system includes a versatile, dual field-of-view thermal imaging system called Foveus, a
FLIR-patented innovation, which provides a high-resolution thermal image with a 5° view nested
inside a wider 20° view. This image presentation concept, derived from the same principles as
human vision, offers excellent situational awareness and long range threat detection,
simultaneously. Each system has two thermal imagers: a 35mm camera for wide-angle
surveillance, and a long-range 140mm camera, and the ability to continuously zoom between
the two fields of view.
This thermal imaging system is complimented with a high-resolution daylight camera, providing
optimal surveillance regardless of the time of day or lighting conditions. With the touch of a
button you can switch between the thermal imager and the daylight / low light camera. The
daylight camera provides up to 26x optical zoom. Displaying both the thermal image and the
daylight image at the same time is also possible via Ethernet.
Figure 2-1: SR-35x140MS
The SR-35x140MS is used for fixed-mount applications, or it can be integrated with a pan/tilt
mechanism. The camera provides crisp, clear thermal imagery in total darkness, light fog or
smoke. On the PTZ-35x140MS, this advanced payload is packaged in a precision pan/tilt
enclosure that will slew up to 120° per second. Each system provides standard video output
(PAL or NTSC format) that works with digital video recording devices, video motion detection
software or off-the-shelf video encoders.
Both 35x140MS camera systems have the performance of military-grade camera systems at a
fraction of the cost. Security operators can field them as portable stand-alone cameras, or
integrate them into a camera network. The cameras provide serial and analog connectivity for
existing legacy infrastructures using widely-deployed interface standards. Either system can be
integrated into IP Video security infrastructures using TCP/IP standards. The cameras support
network operation and control through the Nexus ™ architecture using FLIR Sensors Manager
(FSM) software or a third-party VMS. Video can be streamed over TCP/IP using FSM or a third
party video player.
1 The standard video camera is referred to in this manual generally as a daylight camera or
DLTV.

427-0011-00-10 Revision 140 Copyright © FLIR Systems, Inc. 7 The Foveal Concept The PTZ-35x140MS and SR-35x140MS feature a completely new concept in image presentation based on the foveal vision of the human eye. Foveal vision allows the operator to enjoy a wide angle view for situational awareness while maintaining a high resolution area in the center of the screen for object identification and tracking. The PTZ-35x140MS and SR-35x140MS accomplish this with two independent thermal cameras and a unique patented image processing technique that provides both the foveal imaging mode as well as a continuous zoom between the wide and narrow fields of view. The Foveus thermal imagery is provided as continually zoomed video from the wide 20° horizontal field-of-view (from the 35mm lens) to the more narrow 5° field-of-view (from the 140mm lens). The thermal imagery is presented by blending the two thermal images to provide high visual acuity in the critical 5° center area while simultaneously providing medium resolution in the 20° situational awareness zone. This presentation is an application of the design of the human eye, with the foveal region of the retina employing higher sensitivity than the peripheral area, thus the moniker Foveus™. When the system is zoomed out, the video output comes from the 20° field-of-view and the 5° field-of-view disappears. After zooming in slightly, the wide 5° field-of-view appears as a small inset window in the center. Continuing to zoom in causes the inset window to grow until it fills the video screen, eliminating the wide field-of-view. Figure 2-2: Foveal View (note the inset 5° field-of-view in both pictures) The image on the left shows the wide overall perspective of the 20° field-of-view, and the camera is partially zoomed in to show with the narrower field-of-view. The image on the right shows the camera nearly fully zoomed in, and the 5° field-of-view dominates the image. The 5° horizontal field-of-view of the 140mm lens provides long range surveillance with high visual acuity of distant targets. The 35mm lens provides a short to medium field-of-view of 20° and is well-suited for short range threat detection in all circumstances. The wide field-of-view allows it to cover a large area and provide excellent situational awareness. And the patented technology of FLIR allows continuous zoom between both fields of view.

2.1 Advantages of Thermal Imaging
The 35x140MS 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. Unlike other night vision systems that require low amounts of
light to generate an image, the 35x140MS thermal imagers need no light at all.
The 35x140MS
can be easily integrated with current systems employing daylight cameras. Initial
setup of the system includes connecting power supply leads for the input power and BNC cable
for monitoring output video (one cable is used for both the thermal and daylight video). A serial
cable can be connected to allow control of the camera (pan, tilt, zoom, focus, and so on) and
modify camera settings, and an Ethernet port is available for integration into IP networks.
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.
Thermal cameras create video images from infrared thermal energy (heat), and perform well at
night and day, in good weather and bad.
Figure 2-3 : Daylight camera on left; Thermal image on right
Under some environmental conditions, such as haze, or certain lighting conditions, such as
scenes with shadows, you will likely find that the thermal camera may outperform the daylight
camera, even during the day. Observe that the image above on the left from an ordinary
daylight camera is obscured by fog, while the thermal image on the right provides clear details.
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.

Figure 2-4: Backlit daylight camera on left; thermal image 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.
2.2 Camera Enclosures
The PTZ-35x140MS and SR-35x140MS cameras are packaged in environmental enclosures
that meet IPX6 test standards. Refer to section 8.0 35x140MS Camera Specifications
for
additional specifications. The camera’s sun shroud around the enclosure helps regulate the
camera temperature in direct-sun installations. Each camera uses a lens heater to provide
sharp imagery in all temperature and weather conditions, ensuring a clear lens and high-quality
infrared video, even in extremely cold environments.
2.3 Camera Control
The 35x140MS cameras have serial communication leads for control of the camera utilizing RS-
422 protocol. Users can control the camera using devices that support the Pelco® “D” protocol.
The serial control is connected with a standard 9-pin connector (DB9) via the provided System
Cable.
The camera can also be attached to an IP network through the Ethernet interface and controlled
through the supplied FLIR Sensors Manager software running on your PC. The software allows
streaming video and allows multiple users to control and/or monitor the camera.
Either method for remote control can be used to operate the following functions or features:
Pan/Tilt (PTZ-35x140MS only) and Zoom
Camera focus
Toggle analog video output between the thermal camera and the daylight camera
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.
