STEP 1: POWER TO THE CAMERA
Plug an external power source into the mini-USB port on side of unit. A
USB battery, UAS power cable, or wall charger that outputs 5V ~0.5A all
work well. The camera has reverse polarity protection and accepts 5-26
Volts. Use the included Bench cable for initial power, display testing, and
configuration.
On initial power-up, LED #2 will flash red for approximately 15 seconds then
it will change to solid Blue; at this point LED #1 will flash yellow for about 5
seconds, then change to solid Green indicating the camera is ready for use.

STEP 4: RETRIEVE RECORDINGS
Connect the USB cable to a computer to view SD card as a mass storage
device and retrieve files as you normally would. Note that Duo cannot
record when connected to a computer. Duo will encode the date and
timestamps as part of file name after syncing its clock with the mobile app.
STEP 2: DISPLAY VIDEO
Duo can display either analog or digital
video. To display analog video to a monitor
or television, use the yellow RCA plug on the
supplied Bench Cable to connect Duo to the
monitor’s video input.
For digital video, power the camera as
described in Step 1 and connect Duo to an
HDMI display through the micro-HDMI camera
port. This will automatically disable the analog
video output and turn on the HDMI output.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Why doesn’t my camera connect?
Verify Bluetooth is enabled or press the
Bluetooth button to manually enable
Bluetooth.
Is there an internal battery?
Duo does not have an internal battery, as
it is designed for lightweight integration
platforms that can provide power to the
camera, such as small Unmanned Aerial
Systems (sUAS) or drones. Evaluate your
sUAS for available power connections.
How do I mount on my airframe?
Duo has familiar action-camera dimensions
that allow easy integration onto existing
mounts; however, due to the many unique
mount configurations it is recommended
your system is reviewed for compatibility.
What are Radiometric JPEG images?
Radiometric JPEG images are compatible
with FLIR’s free FLIR Tools software. FLIR
Tools can be used to view infrared, visible,
and MSX blended images, as well as to
thermally tune images to bring out the
details you need.
What is MSX?
MSX stands for Multi-Spectral Dynamic
Imaging, which is FLIR’s patented real
time thermal image enhancement feature.
MSX embosses key visible light details
onto thermal images so that structural
edges, textures, numbers, labels, and other
identifiable features captured by the color
camera are highlighted. This adds extra
perspective to the thermal image for easy
orientation.
