PT-Series HD Camera Installation The PT-Series HD pan/tilt thermal security camera for medium- to long-range applications can be used with traditional analog video installations or IP video networks. It incorporates a high-sensitivity thermal camera with a choice of lenses and a long-range daylight camera all within a precision pan/tilt platform. The PT-602CZ HD pairs a cooled mid-wave focal plane array (FPA) thermal detector with the daylight camera.
PT-Series HD Camera Installation 1.1 Camera Overview The PT-Series HD 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 MJPEG or 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 the appropriate software for viewing the video stream. 1.

Basic Operation and Configuration On the other hand, the thermal camera detects energy that is directly radiated from objects in the scene. Most objects in typical surroundings are not hot enough to radiate visible light, but they easily radiate the type of infrared energy that the thermal camera can detect. Even very cold objects, like ice and snow, radiate this type of energy.
Basic Operation and Configuration the day due to solar loading. Greater temperature differences in the scene generally will allow the camera to produce higher-contrast imagery. Performance may also be affected when objects in the scene are wet rather than dry, such as on a foggy day or in the early morning when everything may be coated with dew. Under these conditions, it may be difficult for the camera to show the temperature the object itself, rather than of the water coating.
Basic Operation and Configuration Check cable connector terminations. Inferior quality connections may use multiple adapters which can cause unacceptable noise. Use a high-quality video distribution amplifier when splitting the signal to multiple monitors. Image too dark or too light: By default the PT-Series HD thermal camera uses an Automatic Gain Control (AGC) setting that has proven to be superior for most applications, and the camera will respond to varying conditions automatically.
