System Connection

!

Caution:

1. If the camera is connected to a PoE network, note that the PoE supply's rated output is 48VDC, 0.2A.
2. If the camera is installed for outdoor use, the PoE supply must be installed with proper weatherproofing.
3. As a Listed Power Unit, the PoE should be marked as "LPS" or "Limited Power Source".
4. This product shall be installed by a qualified service person. Installation shall conform to all local codes.

Attention:

5.4 Connecting the Camera to the Network

To view and configure the camera via a LAN, you must attach the camera via the network switch or router to the same subnet (network segment or VLAN) as the computer that manages the unit. If the PC is on a different subnet than the camera, you will not be able to access the camera via a web browser.

If there is a DHCP server on the network, it is recommended to use FLIR's Discovery Network Assistant (DNA) utility to search for and change the camera's initial IP address. If there is no DHCP server on the network, the camera will initialize with the default IP (192.168.0.250). You can then use DNA to change its IP address.

5.5 Resetting the Camera

The connector panel includes a Default button for easily resetting the camera. The button enables you to save configured settings and to restore factory defaults, including network settings.

Default Button

To reboot the camera

6 Using DNA to Access the Camera

To view and configure the camera via a LAN, you must attach the camera via the network switch or router to the same subnet (network segment or VLAN) as the computer that manages the unit. If the PC is on a different subnet than the camera, you will not be able to access the camera via a web browser.

If there is a DHCP server on the network, it is recommended to use FLIR's Discovery Network Assistant (DNA) utility to search for and change the camera's initial IP address.

DNA is a user-friendly utility that is designed to easily discover and configure FLIR Professional Security edge devices on a network. The DNA tool has a simple user interface and does not require any installation. The software is provided as a single, standalone executable. It runs on any PC.

DNA provides a central location for listing all the supported FLIR Professional Security camera models accessible over the network. Once listed, each camera can be right-clicked to access and change the network settings. If the network settings are changed for some reason, a new search will relist the units. The units may then be configured via the web interface.

If FLIR's Latitude VMS is being used, configure the unit with a static IP address rather than with DHCP. This ensures that the IP address will not automatically change in the future and interfere with configurations and communication.

If there is no DHCP server on the network, the camera will initialize with the default IP (192.168.0.250). You can then use DNA to change its IP address.

Note:

For detailed guidelines about DNA and its usage, refer to the DNA 2.1 User Manual, which is included in the CD provided with the camera.

FLIR

7 Configuring the Unit's Initial IP Address

Use the FLIR DNA utility to discover the unit on the network and to set the unit's initial IP address.

• If the camera is located on a network that uses a DHCP server, or is managed by FLIR's Horizon or Meridian VMS and is configured as a DHCP server, configure the camera with DHCP-enabled Horizon or Meridian automatically assigns the camera an IP address.
• If the camera is located on a network that does not use a DHCP server, or is managed by FLIR's Latitude VMS, manually enter its IP address in the DNA utility.

Note:

1. It is possible to set the IP address without changing the subnet.

9.3.2.1.2 Configuring Video Settings

To configure video settings

1. From the Current Profile drop-down list, select 1, 2, or 3. The default is 1.

Each of the three Current Profiles has its own settings. The available parameters depend on the selected resolution. Each profile supports up to three concurrent streams (Stream1, Stream2, and Stream3), which can be configured separately to send two streams simultaneously with optimized quality and bandwidth.

1. From the Corridor drop-down list, select ON if you want to use this viewing mode. The image rotates 90° counter-clockwise (to the left) and is displayed in 16:9 aspect ratio. This mode is recommended when monitoring a long, narrow area, such as an aisle, hallway or corridor. This mode is referred to in Latitude as "90 and 270 degrees" mode when configuring the Rotate Image setting for the camera.

2. In the Stream1 section, configure the following settings:

a. From Resolution drop-down list, select the desired resolutions. The default is the highest resolution for each stream.
b. From the Compression drop-down list, select H.265 or H.264 according to the required resolution, image quality and storage limitations. The default is H.264.

Note:

MJPEG is supported on Stream2 and Stream3 for all the available resolutions.

i. If you selected H.265 or H.264, the following fields are displayed:

H.264 Settings

a. From the Profile drop-down list, select a profile: High Profile (H.265 and H.264) or Main Profile (H.265 only). Each profile targets specific classes of applications.

- High Profile (HP) High Profile is the primary profile for HD broadcast applications, providing the best trade-off between storage size and video latency. It can save 10-12% of the storage cost over Main Profile. However, it may also increase video latency, depending on the stream structure. This is the default profile.

- Main Profile (MP) This profile provides improved picture quality at reduced bandwidths and storage costs and is becoming more common as the camera processors (DSPs) become more able to handle the processing load.

b. Set the GOP to a value from 1-60 (NTSC) or 1-50 (PAL). The default is 30 for NTSC and 25 for PAL (one I-Frame transmitted every second).

The GOP is a group of successive pictures within a coded video stream. Each coded video stream consists of successive GOPs. GOP structure, specifies the order in which intra-coded frames and inter-coded frames are arranged.

The GOP uses I-Frames (Intra-coded Frames), which are static image files (frames), as a reference for efficient H.265 and H.264 video compression. Transmitted video frames are compared to the I-Frame as they are transmitted. Video quality is higher when the interval between I-Frames is shorter, but the video needs more network capacity. When the interval between I-Frames is longer, the video transmission uses less bandwidth, but the video quality is lower.

ii. If you select MJPEG, the following fields are displayed:

Compression

MJPEG

Quality Level

Mid

MJPEG Settings

a. From the Quality Level drop-down list, select High, Mid, or Low. The default is Mid. High produces the highest image quality, but increases the file size. Low produces the lowest image quality and decreases the file size.

c. In the DSCP text box, enter a value between 0-63. The default DSCP value is 0 (DSCP disabled).

The DSCP (Differentiated Services Code Point) value defines the priority level or QoS (Quality of Service) for the specified type of traffic. The higher the value that is entered, the higher the priority, which reduces network delay and congestion. The camera supports the Video DSCP class, which consists of applications such as HTTP, RTP/RTSP, and RTSP/HTTP.

Note:

Remember to synchronize the QoS setting of the camera with the network router.

d. Move the Frame Rate slider to the desired value. The choice of frame rates depends on the combination of the selected resolutions for the selected streams. The maximum frame is displayed by default. The higher the FPS, the smoother the motion in the video.

e. Do one of the following:

- If you selected MJPEG, continue with step 4.

- If you selected H.265 or H.264, Rate Control is displayed. From the Rate Control drop-down list, select CBR or CVBR. The default is CBR.

- Select CBR (Constant Bit Rate) if you are monitoring simple scenes. CBR uses more storage capacity than CVBR. It wastes storage on simple scenes, while not allocating enough storage for complex sections (resulting in degraded quality). Move the slider to a number between 64 and 20000 bits per second. The default settings are H.264 at 2925 kbps for UHD/4K, 691 kbps for HD 720p @ 15 fps, and 375 kbps for D1 @ 30 fps. The higher the bit rate, the better the image quality. Set the maximum bit rate high enough to allow for a high instantaneous bit for more complex video. A higher bit rate consumes more storage space.

- Select CVBR (Constrained Variable Bit Rate) to enable greater control over image parameters. CVBR uses less storage capacity than CBR. This is helpful in complex scenes, which use more bits than simple scenes. CVBR is desirable if you want an optimum bit rate from frame-to-frame with a relatively predictable file size. Continue with the following steps.

• Set the Max Bit Rate to a value between 64 to 20000. The default settings are H.264 at 2925 kbps for UHD/4K @ 15 fps, 691 kbps for HD 720p @ 15 fps, and 375 kbps for D1 @ 15 fps. The higher the bit rate, the better the image quality. Set the maximum bit rate high enough to allow for a high instantaneous bit for more complex video. A higher bit rate consumes more storage space.
• Set the Encoding Priority. This function enables the user to adjust the quality of the picture along a single axis. The slider ranges from 1 (low bit rate) to 10 (high picture quality). The default setting is 6.

The slider is configured based on Quantization Parameter (QP) values. Setting QP to a high value increases the bit rate and results in high compression, but this is at the expense of poor decoded image quality. Setting QP to a low value results in better decoded image quality, but with lower compression.

1. Repeat Step 3 for Stream2 and Stream3. If you are not using additional streams, select Off from the Resolution drop-down list.
2. Click Save.

9.3.2.2 Privacy Zone

ROI Screen

The image displayed within the ROI box can be displayed with higher quality than the image outside of the box. Overall bit rate is not affected by selecting regions of interest. Enhancing the video where the quality is very important consumes more bandwidth, but enables lowering image quality and bandwidth consumption on less important zones in the scene.

To set a region of interest

1. From the ROI list, select ROI-1 or ROI-2.
2. In the Enable section, select ON. The default setting is OFF.
3. Use your mouse to draw a region of interest on the screen.
4. From the Level drop-down list, select a number between 1-6, where 1 is the lowest quality and 6 is the highest quality for the image within the region of interest.
5. Click Save. The region of interest is displayed on the screen.
6. To delete the region of interest, select ROI-1 or ROI-2 and click Clear. The ROI is deleted.

9.3.3.1.1 Auto Shutter Mode

Auto Shutter mode opens the shutter completely. Shutter speed and the AGC circuit function automatically in cooperating with the iris to achieve a consistent exposure output. The exposure priority is given to the iris. This mode is recommended to be used in indoor environments involving mixed lighting sources where the main source is fluorescent lighting combined with natural light that enters the scene through windows and other exposed areas. This is the default setting.

Auto Shutter Exposure Mode Settings

In the Exposure section, configure the following settings:

- Max Shutter Speed – Select a suitable shutter speed according to the environmental luminance. The following table displays the options:

Auto ShutterMax Shutter Speed
PAL	NTSC
1/6.25	1/7.5
1/12.5	1/15
1/25	1/30
1/50	1/60

Caution:

Using a slow shutter speed causes moving objects to be blurred.

Attention:

- Min Shutter Speed – Select a suitable shutter speed according to the environmental luminance. The following table displays the options:

Auto ShutterMin Shutter Speed
PAL	NTSC
1/100	1/120
1/250	1/250

1/2500	1/2500
1/5000	1/5000
1/10000	1/10000

- Exposure Value – This is a number that represents a combination of a camera's shutter speed and f-number, which brightens or darkens the scene accordingly. Select from the following options: -2, -5/3, -4/3, -1, -2/3, -1/3, 0, 1/3, 2/3, 1, 4/3, 5/3, or 2. The higher the number, the brighter the image. The default setting is 0.

- Backlight Compensation – In images where a bright light source is behind the subject of interest, the subject would normally appear in silhouette. The backlight function of the camera allows it to adjust the exposure of the entire image to properly expose the subject in the foreground. From the drop-down list, select one of the following options for the backlight compensation: OFF, Upper 2/3rd, Lower 2/3rd, Central 1/3 ^rd , Central 1/6 ^th , Left, Right, or OFF (default setting). The settings are as follows:

Backlight Compensation Settings

- Digital WDR – This function improves the image quality and amount of details in high contrast scenes. Such scenes combine areas with different lighting conditions, where some areas are very bright and others are dark. If this function was not used, the image either would be overexposed or too bright in bright areas and completely dark in dark areas. Digital WDR helps to improve image quality by producing a larger amount of details in both the dark and bright areas of the image.

Select High, Medium, Low, or OFF. When High is selected, the image has the highest wide dynamic range, so that the IP camera can capture the greatest scale of brightness. Selecting OFF disables this function. The default setting is Medium.

10.7 Troubleshooting

This section provides useful information and remedies for common situations where problems may be encountered.

Problem	Possible Solution
No network connection	Hardware issues:Check that the network is working and the unit is powered on.Check that the network (Ethernet) cable is properly attached to the unit.Confirm that the network cables are not damaged and replace if necessary.IP Address issues:Change the default IP address/addresses of the unit.From the PC running the web browser, ping the unit IP address and confirm that it can be reached.Confirm that the network settings/firewalls are set according to the requirements.The camera might be located on a different subnet. Contact your IT administrator to get the IP address of the camera.
How do I find IP address of my unit?	Check the network DHCP server IP address assignments and lease.Alternatively, move the camera to an isolated network and make sure camera gets DHCP address and is accessible. Move the camera back to the network and test it. If you still have issues, reset the camera physically by pressing the reset button on the rear of the camera and test the camera again. This will ensure the camera releases the IP address.
The IP address responds to a ping on the network from the workstation but does not show in the Discovery List	Disconnect the unit's Ethernet 10/100 port or turn the power to unit off, and then ping the IP address again. If the IP address responds, there is another device using the IP address. Consult with your network administrator to resolve the conflict.Check the network port and ensure that it is working OK.Ensure that the switch ports provide the necessary power.
The unit IP address is in use by another computer (collision)	Check the DHCP settings. Obtain a new IP address using DHCP. Ensure this is a unique IP address.Alternatively, change the unit IP address after connecting to it directly (not through the system network).
Cannot login to the camera	Check the login user ID of the user or admin.Check the login password of the user or admin.
No video image displayed on the main menu or the view menu of the web interface	Reset the browser security settings to the default value.Check that the correct port was configured. The default port is 554.
Bad output video quality	Check that the network cable is connected securely.Check that the camera settings are correct on the camera and in the unit.Check that the camera lens is clean and unobstructed.Check that the cable length is within specification.
Streaming video image is hanging (stopped)	Confirm the unit's video streaming settings.Refresh your browser screen (F5).Check that the bandwidth and bit rate settings of the network are set properly.Check that other processes and applications are not causing undue latency.Check that the firewall analysis or blocking is not interfering with the video stream and supports the required ports and communication protocols.
Bluish picture in an indoor scene (possibly mixing indoor and outdoor lighting)	Adjust the White balance configuration to Auto. If the lighting in the scene is fixed, manually adjust the White balance to an acceptable image.
Reddish picture and incorrect colors in the image	Check the PoE power supply and associated network cables. Connect directly to the PoE and compare the images. If the problem persists, contact support.
