Thermal Security Camera
Functional Description
1. The Thermal Security Camera shall not depend on any visible or invisible
(infrared) illumination or image intensifier to “see” i.e. produce images.
The Thermal Security Camera shall be totally passive and not produce any
energy or emit light in any bandwidth. The Thermal Security Camera shall
allow the user to clearly identify images in the total absence of light.
2. The Thermal Security Camera shall allow the user to see through smoke
and light fog and to view the thermal patterns and contrast in the scene.
3. The Thermal Security Camera shall not be susceptible to “image blooming”
caused by bright lights as are image intensifiers and visible spectrum
cameras.
4. The Thermal Security Camera shall utilize a Vanadium Oxide (VOx)
uncooled microbolometer responding in the LWIR (Long Wave Infrared)
spectral range of 7.5 – 13.5 μm which is beyond what is visible to the
human eye.
5. The Thermal Security Camera shall be a multi-sensor camera unit
consisting of a thermal imaging camera with a fixed 35mm or 50mm lens
and a daylight camera with a continuous zoom lens mounted on a heavyduty pan/tilt drive and rated for outdoor installations. The pan drive shall
be capable of +/-200° panning and the tilt drive shall be capable of +/- 60°
tilt.
6. The thermal imaging camera shall be factory configured with one of the
following fixed anti-reflection coated Germanium lenses with the Field of
View (FOV) indicated:
a. SR-35 – 35mm lens with 20° H x 15° V FOV
b. SR-50 – 50mm lens with 14° H x 10° V FOV
7. The daylight camera shall be provided with a high resolution CCD imager
with a 22x optical zoom and 12x digital zoom lens, automatic IR cut-filter
and an integral image stabilization feature.
8. The range of the Thermal Security Camera shall be defined at three levels
consisting of:
A&E Specification

Models PTZ-35MS & PTZ-50MS
a. Detection – In order to detect if an object is present or not, its critical
dimension needs to be covered by 1.5 or more pixels.
b. Recognition – Recognizing an object is defined as seeing what type of
object it is. This means being able to determine if the object is a
person, a car or a truck. In order to recognize an object it needs to be
subtended by at least 6 pixels across its critical dimension.
c.
Identification – Identifying the object is defined as seeing if it is a
man/woman or a man carrying a shovel verses a man carrying a rifle.
In order to identify an object it needs to be subtended by at least 12
pixels.
9. The approximate DRI (Detection, Recognition, Identification) range for a
vehicle and a human target with each the camera models is listed in
Tables 1 & 2.

Table 2: DRI range for Human Target using a Thermal Security
Camera with 38 micron pitch detector
Assumptions: 50% probability of achieving objective at the specified distance given a
2-degree temperature difference and 0.85/km atmospheric attenuation factor. Actual
range may vary depending on camera setup, user experience, environmental conditions,
and type of monitor or display used.
10. An online site security planning tool shall be available to assist the user in
selecting the correct cameras and designing a video surveillance system.
The tool shall utilize Google Earth maps saved as jpeg images to allow the
user to place cameras on the site / buildings and simulate the actual field
of view of any camera to visually see the difference between each camera
/ lens combination for detection, recognition and identification. The tool
shall be available at http://raven.flirops.com/.
11. The Noise Equivalent Temperature Difference (NETD) is the measure of
the smallest object temperature that can be detected by the thermal imager
relative to the system noise. The measurement is usually quantified as a
mK value. This is the most common Figure of Merit of a thermal imaging
system and a true measurement of the thermal camera’s sensitivity.

12. The Thermal Security Camera shall include a Dynamic Digital Detail
Enhancement (DDE) filter which is a real-time DSP-based image
enhancement function that optimizes the thermal image across all scene
conditions to provide video with the optimal contrast and low noise. DDE
automatically adapts to all scene conditions and requires no user input.
13. The Thermal Security Camera shall utilize Non-Uniformity Correction
(NUC) which is a set of compensation factors for each pixel. NUC shall
enable the following features and benefits:
a. Eliminate the need for FPA (Focal Plane Array) temperature
stabilization.
b. Allow for near instantaneous camera turn-on.
c.
Reduced system complexity and power consumption.
d. Allow for a wider operating temperature range.
14. The Thermal Security Camera shall include a function known as Flat-Field
Correction (FFC). The FFC function provides optimal image quality across
changing scene and environmental conditions. FFC can be controlled at
any time using the Do FFC command in the ThermoVision Security HD
User Interface. The User Interface provides two FFC modes:
a. Automatic: In the Automatic FFC mode, the camera performs FFC
whenever its temperature changes by a specified amount or at the end
of a specified period of time (whichever comes first). When this mode
is selected, input windows are available in the camera GUI for
specifying the temperature change and the number of frames that
trigger automatic FFC. The temperature change is specified in
degrees, with valid values in the range 0 to 100 on 0.1 degree
increments. The time period is specified in frames, with valid values in
the range of 0 to 30,000 frames.
b. Manual: In the Manual FFC mode, the camera does not perform FFC
automatically based on specified values of temperature change or
expired time. The FFC will be preformed when the “Do FFC” button is
clicked.
15. The Thermal Security Camera shall include Automatic Gain Control (AGC)
circuitry to compensate for scene variations, improve image quality by
avoiding saturation and distortion, and to balance signal levels prior to
display to maximize image quality.
16. The Thermal Security Camera shall feature both White-Hot and Black-Hot
operating modes. In the White-Hot (default) mode warmer images will be
displayed in white or lighter shades than cooler or background areas. In
the Black-Hot mode warmer images will be displayed as black or darker

than the background. Additional pseudo-color palettes shall be available
using the application software provided with the camera.
17. The Thermal Security Camera shall provide a standard NTSC or PAL
analog composite video output to allow it to function as a direct
replacement for daylight cameras and to connect directly to digital video
recorders, encoders and monitoring equipment.
18. The Thermal Security Camera shall be controllable by a serial interface
(RS-422) for camera set-up and control with a computer running the
ThermoVision Security HD User Interface or via a RS-422 serial
connection and Pelco D protocol.
19. The ThermoVision Security HD User Interface shall provide for the
following camera set-up:
a. Pan/Tilt Tab provides the following set-up options:
1)
Preset control and set-up for 3 presets and a Home preset. The
ability to Import and Export preset data is provided.
