Although the unit is designed and manufactured in compliance with all applicable safety standards, certain hazards are present during the installation of this equipment.

To help ensure safety and to help reduce risk of injury or damage, observe the following:

• The unit's cover is an essential part of the product. Do not open or remove it.
• Never operate the unit without the cover in place. Operating the unit without the cover poses a risk of fire and shock hazards.
• Do not disassemble the unit or remove screws. There are no user serviceable parts inside the unit.
• Only qualified trained personnel should service and repair this equipment.
• Observe local codes and laws and ensure that installation and operation are in accordance with fire, security and safety standards.

Avertissement:

• Do not drop the camera or subject it to physical shock.
• Do not touch sensor modules with fingers. If cleaning is necessary, use a clean cloth with a bit of ethanol and wipe it gently. If the camera will not be used for an extended period of time, put on the lens cap to protect the sensor from dirt.
• Do not aim the camera lens at strong light, such as the sun or an incandescent lamp, which can seriously damage the camera.
• Make sure that the surface of the sensor is not exposed to a laser beam, which could burn out the sensor.
• If the camera will be fixed to a ceiling, verify that the ceiling can support more than 50 newtons (50-N) of gravity, or over three times the camera's weight.
  • The camera should be packed in its original packing if it is reshipped.

Caution:

To avoid damage from overheating or unit failure, assure that there is sufficient temperature regulation to support the unit's requirements (cooling/heating). Operating temperature should be kept in the range -40^irc to 50^ircC (-40° to 122°F), with no more than 90% non-condensing humidity.

Attention:

There are several requirements that should be properly addressed prior to installation at the site. The following specifications are requirements for proper installation and operation of the unit:

• Ambient Environment Conditions: Avoid positioning the unit near heaters or heating system outputs. Avoid exposure to direct sunlight. Use proper maintenance to ensure that the unit is free from dust, dirt, smoke, particles, chemicals, smoke, water or water condensation, and exposure to EMI.
• Accessibility: The location used should allow easy access to unit connections and cables.
• Safety: Cables and electrical cords should be routed in a manner that prevents safety hazards, such as from tripping, wire fraying, overheating, etc. Ensure that nothing rests on the unit's cables or power cords.
• Ample Air Circulation: Leave enough space around the unit to allow free air circulation.
• Cabling Considerations: Units should be placed in locations that are optimal for the type of video cabling used between the unit and the cameras and external devices. Using a cable longer than the manufacturer's specifications for optimal video signal may result in degradation of color and video parameters.
• Physical Security: The unit provides threat detection for physical security systems. In order to ensure that the unit cannot be disabled or tampered with, the system should be installed with security measures regarding physical access by trusted and un-trusted parties.
• Network Security: The unit transmits over IP to security personnel for video surveillance. Proper network security measures should be in place to assure networks remain operating and free from malicious interference. Install the unit on the backbone of a trusted network.

Top-down view of a gray dome-shaped object with two red circular markers on its surface and a black connector at the bottom (no text or symbols visible)

Figure 20: Base Plate with Screw Holes

Figure 21: Drill Template

Note:

Before marking and drilling the holes, ensure that the base plate alignment is oriented correctly so that the required camera field of view can be achieved when the system is assembled.

b. In the marked locations, drill each hole using a drill bit of a slightly smaller diameter than the supplied screw anchors (molly-plug anchor). You want to achieve a snug insertion so that the plug expansion holds firm after the screws are screwed in.
c. Fully insert the supplied anchors into drilled holes. You may need to tap them flush with the wall using a hammer.

- For installing on a 4S recessed electrical box:

a. Have a qualified installer (check your local electrical codes) rough-in the 4S recessed electrical box and run the wires and power (if not PoE) through the wall/conduits to the box location.
b. Ensure that the box is sufficiently sturdy (attach to the wall stud, ceiling joist, or reinforced surface as needed) to securely hold the weight of the camera.

- For bracket, pole and pendant installations:

a. Feed the system cable through the mounting accessory.

Note:

The power cable is not required if using PoE.

Tip:

Even if you are not using alarm inputs and audio input/output at the time of installation, you may want to consider pre-wiring these connections for future use.

Use shims for shoring up mounts on uneven surfaces.

b. Thread the wires through the base plate and screw it to the pre-drilled wall, ceiling, CM Series Mini-Dome Recessed Mount, CM Series Mini-Dome Corner Mount, or 4S electrical box. Check that the installation is not flimsy, will not wobble, and is flush with the mounting surface.
c. Plug the Cat 5 cable into the camera's Ethernet port and, if needed, plug the power terminal block into the power terminals.
d. If applicable, wire the Alarm In, Alarm Out, Audio In, and Audio Out terminal blocks to external devices. See Cable Connectors (page 11).
e. If needed, connect the other end of the Cat 5 cable to the network and turn on the power from the power supply.

Note:

Do not reassemble the camera's inner cover and mini-dome cover until after hardware configurations and lens adjustments are made.

6 Using the DNA Utility to Search and Access the Camera

The Discovery Network Assistant (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.

The camera must be made accessible for setting network addresses.

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.

7 Configuring Communication Settings

To configure communication settings on the camera

1. Connect the camera to the network on the same VLAN/LAN as the workstation.
2. If the network supports the default, open the DNA utility by running dna.exe which can be

found in the DNA utility folder in the supplied CD, or click the DNA icon

1. In the DNA application, click the DNA button.

2. If the Windows Firewall is enabled, a security alert window pops up.

3. To continue, click Allow Access. Latitude users should consult the Latitude Installation Instructions on disabling the Windows Firewall.

Following are descriptions of different video rotate types.

- Normal video – The image appears as it is viewed. This is the default setting.

- Flip video – The image is reversed along its horizontal axis.

- Mirror video – The image is reversed along its vertical axis.

- 90 degree clockwise – The image rotates 90^irc clockwise (to the right) and is displayed in 9:16 aspect ratio. This mode is ideal for use when monitoring a long, narrow area, such as an aisle, hallway or corridor.

- 180 degree rotate – The image rotates 180^irc counter-clockwise (to the left).

- 90 degree counterclockwise – The image rotates 90^irc counter-clockwise (to the left) and is displayed in 9:16 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.

Click SAVE to confirm the setting.

Note:

Image rotation is not supported for 4K streams above 15 fps.

GOV Settings

Users can set the GOV length to determine the frame structure (I-frames and P-frames) in a video stream for saving bandwidth. The setting range is from 1 to 255. A longer GOV means decreasing the frequency of I-frames. The default GOV setting for H.264-1 and H.264-2 is 50/60 (PAL/NTSC). The default GOV setting for H.264-3 and H.264-4 (CM-6208 only) is 25/30 (PAL/NTSC). Click SAVE to confirm the GOV setting.

H.264 Profile

The H.264 standard defines 21 sets of capabilities. These are referred to as profiles and they target specific classes of applications. In the security industry, the most common are as follows:

• Baseline Profile (BP)

Primarily for low-cost applications that require additional data loss robustness, Baseline Profile is used in some videoconferencing and mobile applications. This is the most common profile used in IP security cameras due to the low computational cost of processing the video using this 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. Main Profile can save 10-12% over Baseline. This is the default profile.

• High Profile (HP)

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

Click SAVE to confirm the settings.

9.4.2 Video Compression

From the Video Compression screen, you can specify MJPEG and H.264 compression settings. CM-6204 cameras support three video streams.

Figure 94: Video Compression Screen-CM-6204

CM-6208 cameras support four video streams.

Figure 95: Video Compression Screen-CM-6208

MJPEG Compression Setting

A higher value implies higher bit rates and higher visual quality. The default setting of the MJPEG Q factor is 35. The setting range is from 1 to 70. Click SAVE to confirm the setting.

H.264 Compression Setting

The default setting of H.264-1 is 4096. The default setting for the other streams is 1024 kbps. Each stream can be configured individually. The setting range is from 64 to 20,480 kbps. Click SAVE to confirm the setting.

Note:

A total of 26,624 kbps is available on the camera for streaming. A single stream is limited to 20,480 kbps.

Quality

The Encoding Priority function enables the user to adjust the quality of the picture along a single axis. The slider is configured according to 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.

Encoding Priority should be set for each H.264 stream. The slider ranges from 1 (low bit rate) to 10 (high picture quality). The default setting is 7. Click SAVE to confirm the setting.

Note:

The Encoding Priority setting can be used only when H.264 is selected.

Compression Information Setting

Select the checkbox to display compression information on the Home page. The default setting is Display compression information in the home page. Click SAVE to confirm the setting.

CBR Mode Setting

If available bandwidth is limited, select CBR (Constant Bit Rate) mode. To operate the camera in Variable Bit Rate (VBR) mode, uncheck the CBR checkbox. Click SAVE to confirm the setting.

Note:

CBR mode affects image quality.

9.4.3 Video ROI Encoding

It is possible to configure Region of Interest settings for three (CM-6204) or four (CM-6208) H.264 streams on the Video ROI Encoding screen. The image displayed within the ROI box can be displayed with a higher bit rate and 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.

Figure 96: Video ROI Encoding Screen

To use ROI encoding

1. From the Video Stream drop-down menu, select the H.264 stream. Three streams are available on CM-6204 cameras. Four streams are available on CM-6208 cameras.
2. From the ROI Encoding drop-down menu, select Enable to activate this function.
3. From the Quality drop-down menu, select a number between -15 (lowest image quality) to +15 (highest image quality) or default (where the image quality of the video in the box is the same as the image quality outside the box).
4. Click SAVE when finished.
5. Drag the box in the ROI Encoding Window to cover the zone for which you want to activate ROI encoding.
6. Click ADD to create a new zone or DELETE to remove a zone.
7. Click SAVE when finished.

9.5.1 Exposure

The Exposure screen is used to configure lens settings and exposure modes. The exposure is the amount of light received by the image sensor and is determined by the amount of exposure by the sensor (shutter speed), and other exposure parameters.

Administrators may either allow the camera to automatically select an exposure level using a programmed algorithm or choose the level themselves. The smaller the number (the higher the shutter speed) that the administrator selects, the lower the exposure level and vice versa.

Even in Auto Mode, a Minimum Shutter Speed may be set from the drop-down menu to ensure a maximum level of exposure. In Manual Mode, the administrator can choose fixed shutter speeds from a drop-down menu.

Exposure Mode

The bottom section of the screen enables you to select one of three exposure modes: P-Iris Priority, Auto P-Iris (default), or Manual Mode. Administrators may either allow the camera to automatically select an exposure level using a programmed algorithm or choose the level themselves.

Exposure Value (CM-6208 only)

The user can set the Exposure value for each exposure mode on the CM-6208. This is a number that represents a combination of a camera's shutter speed and aperture setting (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.

Figure 102: CM-6208 Exposure Screen

P-Iris Priority Mode

In P-iris Priority mode, the iris does not adjust, regardless of the light level. If, however, the light level goes below the P-iris setting, the iris will fully open in a single step if the Auto Adjustment option is turned on.

Figure 103: Exposure Mode P-Iris Priority Settings

The following setting are available:

- Iris Size Setting – Select the following buttons

The minus (-) button closes the iris.

The plus (+) button opens the iris.

The reset button is for resetting the P-iris

The radial button is for automatically selecting the optimal iris exposure

• Auto Adjustment – From the drop-down menu, select On or Off. When enabled, if the lighting level falls below the set P-iris level, the iris will jump to its fully-opened position.
• Min Shutter Speed – When selecting this mode, the camera's shutter speed automatically achieves a consistent video output level. Users can select a suitable shutter speed according to the environmental luminance.

The shutter speed range is selectable on the drop-down menu from 1/2 to 1/500 sec (NTSC) and 1/1.5 to 1/425 sec (PAL). The following table lists the options.

P-Iris PriorityMin Shutter Speed

Click SET when you finish configuring the settings.

Auto P-Iris Mode

Auto-P iris is the default mode. It automatically and smoothly adjusts the iris when the light level drops to a point where it is insufficient to support the P-iris setting. A Minimum Shutter Speed may be set from the drop-down menu to ensure a maximum level of exposure.

Figure 104: Exposure Mode Auto P-Iris Settings

The following settings are available:

- Min Shutter Speed – When selecting this mode, the shutter is completely open and the exposure priority is given to the iris. Shutter speed and AGC circuit function automatically in cooperating with the iris to achieve a consistent exposure output.

The shutter speed range is from 1/2 to 1/30 sec (NTSC) and 1/1.5 to 1/25 sec (PAL). The following table lists the options.

Auto IrisMin Shutter Speed

1/3	1/4
1/1.5	1/2

- F Number – Displays the current F-Stop setting.

Click SET when you finish configuring the settings.

Manual Mode

Manual mode is used generally where light levels are fixed and the auto settings do not provide the perfect exposure. It is recommended for scenes such as indoor scenes, where there is a fixed lighting contrast and a constant, precise exposure is required.

Manual Mode opens the iris completely with a fixed gain to a fixed shutter speed. Users can select a suitable shutter speed according to the environmental luminance. Increasing the value of the fixed shutter increases the amount of light entering the sensor. This allows a brighter and more detailed image. Similarly, utilizing gain and increasing its level increases the sensitivity of the image sensor, which brightens the image and add details. This increases the level of noise in the image.

In Manual Mode, the administrator can select a fixed shutter speed and gain from drop-down menus. The smaller the shutter speed number (the higher the shutter speed), the lower the exposure level. The higher the gain, the brighter the picture.

Figure 105: Exposure Mode Manual Settings

The following setting are available:

- Iris Size Setting – Select the following buttons

The minus (-) button closes the iris.

The Plus (+) button opens the iris.

- Gain – A nominal video signal level is usually 1 volt peak-to-peak for composite video, 0.7 volts for component or RGB video, or 0.3 volts for the chrominance subsection, at which level a fully saturated picture is transmitted to the acceptor. However, for cases where the video signal is attenuated, a low-noise, high-gain analog amplifier is built into quality video processing equipment. This amplifier provides video gain control whereby the video signal can be boosted or reduced. Dark pictures caused by low level lighting are easily adjusted. The Gain drop-down menu turns the video gain Off or moves it in steps from 1 to 9.

Click SET when you finish setting the gain.

9.5.2 Picture Adjustment

Figure 107: CM-6208 Advanced Picture Settings Screen – White Balance

A camera needs to find a reference color temperature as a way of measuring the quality of a light source for calculating all other colors. The unit for measuring this ratio is in Kelvin (°K) degrees. You can select one of the White Balance control modes according to the operating environment. The table below shows the color temperature of some light sources for reference.

Light Sources	Color Temperature (in K°)
Cloudy Sky	6,000 to 8,000
Noon Sun and Clear Sky	6,500
Household Lighting	2,500 to 3,000
75-watt Bulb	2,820
Candle Flame	1,200 to 1,500

Four white balance modes are available:

• Auto – The Auto Balance White mode computes the white balance value output using color information from the entire screen. It is suitable for an environment with a light source color temperature in the range of approximately 2,700 \~ 7,500K. This is the default setting for CM-6208.
• ATW (Auto Tracking White Balance) – The Auto Tracking White Balance function automatically adjusts the white balance in a scene while temperature color is changing. The ATW Mode is suitable for an environment with a light source color temperature in the range of approximately 2500 \~ 10,000K. This is the default setting for CM-6204.
• One Push – This button activates the factory-optimized setting for white balance. This setting may not be ideal for every lighting environment.
• Manual – In this mode, you can manually change the white balance value. You can select a number between 0 – 127 for either/both Rgain and Bgain to increase the red and/or blue luminance.

Click SET to confirm the new settings.

Backlight (CM-6208 only)

Backlight compensation is used in images where a bright light source is behind the subject of interest. Without backlight compensation, 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.

Select On or Off. The default setting is Off.

Click SET to confirm the new settings.

WDR Function

WDR (Wide Dynamic Range) resolves high contrast or changing light issues in order to enhance the image quality. It does this by producing a larger amount of details in both the dark and bright areas of the image. 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.

The WDR function setting is adjustable among Off, Low, Mid and Hi. A higher level of WDR represents wider dynamic range, so that the IP camera can capture a greater scale of brightness. The default setting is Mid.

Click SET to confirm the new settings.

Figure 109: Advanced Picture Settings Screen – WDR Function

Shutter WDR (CM-6204 only)

The Shutter WDR (Wide Dynamic Range) function, also known as True WDR, is a form of multi-exposure WDR that resolves high contrast or changing light issues and creates a constant video output level.

Figure 110: Advanced Picture Settings Screen-Shutter WDR

A combination of slow- and fast-exposure shutters is used to create a new image with a wide dynamic range. The camera uses an algorithm to determine the optimal mix of light and dark regions within the scene from the two shutters in order to adjust the wide dynamic range of the scene.

Figure 112: Shutter WDR Off

The Shutter WDR setting is selectable between On or Off:

• When On is selected, the image has a wide dynamic range, so that the IP camera can capture a greater scale of brightness.
• Selecting Off disables this function. This is the default setting.

Click SET to confirm the new settings.

Noise Reduction

The noise reduction function consists of three settings:

• 3DNR
- 2DNR
- ColorNR

Noise reduction settings are used to reduce or eliminate artifacts that can limit the ability to positively identify an object. There are two types of noise: luminance and color (chroma) noise.

3DNR and 2DNR settings reduce luminance noise, which is composed of dots of various brightness levels (black, white and gray). It is not recommended to completely eliminate luminance noise, which can result in unnatural images. 3DNR and 2DNR settings should be configured after configuring ColorNR.

Figure 113: Advanced Picture Settings Screen – Noise Reduction

3DNR

3DNR (3D Noise Reduction) provides superior noise reduction and is recommended for use in in extra low-light conditions. It is especially useful for reducing blur with moving objects. The 3DNR function reduces image noise/snow in low-light conditions by comparing adjacent frames. A higher level of 3DNR generates relatively enhanced noise reduction, although it creates more motion blur than 2DNR on moving objects.

The noise reduction is adjustable from Off, 3DNR Low, 3DNR Mid, and 3DNR Hi. The default setting is 3DNR Low. Click SET to confirm the new settings.

2DNR

2DNR (2D Noise Reduction) analyzes individual frames pixel by pixel and frame by frame to eliminate environmental noise and deliver optimized image quality, especially in low-light conditions. 2DNR tends to produce superior results for moving objects when applied to areas in the field of view where movement is present. However, it is less precise than 3DNR.

Settings include On and Off. The default setting is On. Click SET to confirm the new settings.

ColorNR

The ColorNR setting controls the noise displayed as red, green and blue dots that are visible between light and dark areas. Four settings are available: Off, Color Low, Color Med, and Color Hi. The highest setting (Color Hi) maximizes the blending of the color noise with the image, effectively removing the dots, while the Color Low setting minimizes the blending. The Off setting disables this function. Click SET to confirm the new settings. The default setting is Color Hi.

9.5.4 IR Function

The IR Function setting activates two functions:

• The IR Cut (IRC) filter for electronic day/night operation (IR mode)
• The IR LED illuminator for use in low-light conditions or at night

Figure 114: IR Function Screen

IR Mode

The day/night IRC switching mechanism operates according to the ambient light level rather than activation of the IR LED mode. The IR Mode drop-down menu enables you to select from Auto/On/Off/Smart modes. The default mode is Smart. Following is an explanation of the four settings:

• Auto Mode – The camera converts from Day mode (color) to Night mode (monochrome) automatically at nighttime or in low light conditions. When there is sufficient light, the camera converts automatically from Night mode to Day mode.
• On – Activates IR mode (puts camera into monochrome/Night mode).
• Off – Deactivates IR mode (puts camera into color/Day mode).

- Smart – Smart mode enhances monochrome/Night mode stability when IR illumination is dominant and keeps the camera from switching between Day and Night modes. In this mode, the IR Cut filter is on (i.e. monochrome/Night mode) when the IR LED illuminator also is activated. This prevents the camera from returning to color/Day mode.

Click SET to confirm the new setting.

IR LED Illuminator

This setting is used in low-light conditions or at night. IR LED lights are turned On or Off, depending on the light sensor. The default mode is Auto. Two settings are available:

• Auto – The light sensor operates automatically.
- Off – The IR light is always off.

Click SET to confirm the new setting.

Day/Night Threshold

Set the threshold at which you want to activate the IR function:

• For the daytime to nighttime threshold, from the upper drop-down list, select a number between 1-9, where 1 is darker and 9 is brighter.
• For the nighttime to daytime threshold, from the upper drop-down list, select a number between 1-9, where 1 is darker and 9 is brighter.

Click SET to confirm the new setting.

IR Compensation

From the drop-down list, set the IR Compensation to On or Off. Setting IR Compensation to On compensates for the reflection of infrared light emitted from the camera onto reflective objects, thus improving image sharpness and definition. Without IR compensation, objects may appear blurred. IR Compensation is enabled by default.

Click SET to confirm the new setting.

9.5.5 Misc.

From the Misc. (Miscellaneous) tab, you can set the Digital Zoom and TV System.

Figure 115: Camera Settings Screen – Digital Zoom

Note:

After changing TV System settings, the camera restarts automatically. You must re-enter the unit's IP address again in your browser in order to use the unit with the new settings.

Digital Zoom Settings

The camera's digital zoom is adjustable from x2 to x10. Select the desired zoom or Off. Click SET to confirm the new setting.

TV System Settings

Select the video system setting: 25 fps (PAL) or 30 fps (NTSC). The default TV system is 30 fps (NTSC). Click SET to confirm the setting.
