Camera Installation
1.3 Installation Overview
The FB-Series camera is an infrared thermal imaging camera for indoor or outdoor security
applications. The camera mounting must support up to 5.4 lbs (2.5 kg). Refer to Mounting
Accessories, pg. 7 for wall and pole mounts that can be purchased from FLIR Systems, Inc.
1.3.1 Camera Connection Options
The FB-Series camera can be installed with an analog or digital (IP) video output (or both). Analog
video requires a connection to a video monitor or an analog video matrix switch. The camera can be
powered using Power over Ethernet (PoE) or with a conventional 24 Vac or 12 Vdc power supply.
For a PoE connection, an accessory PoE power supply (also called a PoE injector) is required if the
camera is not connected to a PoE switch. The maximum Ethernet cable run is 100 meters including
the PoE power supply. In installations using PoE power and IP video, only a single Ethernet cable to
the camera is required. The FB-Series camera is a Powered Device compliant with the IEEE
802.3af-2003 standard.
In installations using analog video and conventional power, an RG59U coaxial cable and a power
cable are installed. It is recommended an Ethernet cable should also be installed for camera
configuration and troubleshooting. The FB-Series camera does not support serial communications.
General Purpose Input/Output (GPIO)
The camera can receive two input signals and can provide a single output signal. By default the
signals are configured for normally open alarm switch circuits. Refer to Alarm Connections, pg. 10.
Input Signal—When an external alarm device closes a switch to complete the circuit for the
camera, an input alarm is generated by the GPIO for the Alarm Manager.
Output Signal—When an output alarm is generated by the Alarm Manager for the GPIO, the
camera closes its internal switch to complete the circuit for the receiving device.
1.3.2 Supplied Components
The FB-Series camera package includes these standard components:
• Fixed Camera Unit with sun shield and cable pigtail
• Power terminal block, if not using PoE
• Accessory terminal block—GPIO
• Five plastic screw anchors

Basic Operation and Configuration
This chapter provides basic information on how to operate the FB-Series camera. A bench test can be
used to verify camera operation before the camera is configured for the local network. This chapter
also provides general configuration information.
2.1 IP Camera, ONVIF Profile S Compliant
When the camera is connected to the network it functions as a server; it provides services such as
camera control, video streaming, network communications, and geo-referencing capabilities. The
communications protocol used is an open, standards-based protocol that allows the server to
communicate with a video management client, such as FLIR Latitude
client, including systems that are compatible with ONVIF Profile S. These clients can be used to control
the camera and stream video during day-to-day operations. Refer to the individual product web page at
https://www.flir.com/browse/security/thermal-security-cameras/ for a listing of supported VMS clients.
2.2 Camera Bench Test
The camera offers both analog video and IP video, and since the camera can be powered by PoE or by
a conventional power supply, there are several ways to bench test the camera. It is recommended that
the installer test the camera using the same type of connections as in the final installation.
TM
or with a third-party VMS
Even if using analog video and conventional power in the final installation, it is a good idea to test the
IP communications when performing the bench test. If any image adjustments are necessary, they can
be done using a web browser over the IP connection, and saved as power-on default settings.
With the camera powered up, analog video can be tested at the BNC connector. Connect the camera
to a video monitor and confirm the live video is displayed on the monitor.
If using a conventional power supply, connect the camera to a network switch with an Ethernet cable,
and connect a PC or laptop to the switch also. Use a web browser to access and test the camera as
described below, and if necessary make configuration changes prior to installation.
Once the camera is connected to a network and powered on, set camera network parameters using
the FLIR Discovery Network Assistant (DNA) software, perform a bench test by using a web browser to
view the video and control the camera, or view video in the local Network Video Management System
(for example, FLIR Latitude
download from the individual product web page at:
https://www.flir.com/browse/security/thermal-security-cameras/.
TM
). The DNA software does not require a license to use and is a free
2.3 Set IP Address using the FLIR Discovery Network Assistant (DNA)
The FB-Series camera is shipped with Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) IP addressing. If
the existing network has a DHCP server, the camera will be assigned an appropriate IP address. If the
network does not have a DHCP server, the camera will default to an IP address of 192.168.0.250.
Configuring the camera for IP communications generally involves the following steps:
Step 1 Connect the Ethernet port of the camera to the existing IP camera network.
Step 2 Connect a PC or laptop to the same network.
Step 3 From the PC connected to the camera network, use the DNA utility to discover and display
the camera’s current IP address.
a Download the DNA utility.

change the rate at which the frames are displayed in the browser from the default 8 fps up to 16 fps.
This rate controls the user’s own web browser only, and does not affect the video streams to other
users or to an NVR. For slow communication links, if there is a problem displaying the video image,
it may help to slow down the frame rate.
Help
The Help menu displays software version information. If it is necessary to contact FLIR Technical
Support for assistance, it will be helpful to have the information from this page on hand. For
information about the camera refer to Product Info Menu, pg. 56 (requires Admin login).
Log out
Use this button to disconnect from the camera and stop the display of the video stream. If a web
session is inactive for 20 minutes, it will be stopped and it will be necessary to log in again.
Toggle PC/Camera time
Use this button to display either the PC time or the camera time. To set the camera time refer to Date
and Time, pg. 22.
Camera Control and Status
In the lower left of the screen are two indicator “lights”: Control and Status.
Initially the Control light is off, as in the image above, indicating the user is
not able to control the camera immediately. When multiple users are
connected to a camera, only one user at a time can issue commands to the
camera. If another user has control of the camera, the Control light is yellow.
A user is able to request control of the camera by clicking on the yellow or black “light”, or simply by
sending a command to the camera. The Status light may turn off temporarily while waiting for the
response from the camera. After a short pause, the Control light should turn green.
If a command is sent to the camera when the user does not have control, the command will not be
executed, and it is necessary to send the command again once the light is green.
In addition, when the cursor is moved over the video, a snapshot button also appears in the
upper right of the screen. After clicking the snapshot button, the video image is saved as a
jpeg file and the browser will provide prompts depending on which browser is being used.
Web Control Panel
The control buttons on the right side of the page provide a way to
control the camera in a limited number of ways. When the mouse
cursor is positioned over a button, a tool tip is displayed.
This same web interface is used with various FLIR cameras—
some are fixed, such as the FB-Series cameras, and some are
pan/tilt cameras. The control panel may appear different for
different FLIR cameras.

Basic Operation and Configuration
The following buttons appear for FB-Series cameras:
Toggle Polarity
This button changes the polarity of the assigned colors to the different temperatures in a
scene. In the black and white palette for example, hot objects are displayed as white and cold
objects as black, or vice versa.
Toggle Palette
This button causes the camera to cycle through six different look up table (LUT) color
palettes. Depending on the subjects viewed, one color palette may be preferable to the others. The
Toggle Polarity button allows access to six more palettes (refer to Misc. (Lookup Table), pg. 36).
Perform IR NUC Calibration
This button causes the camera to perform a Non-Uniformity Correction operation (refer to
Image freezes momentarily, pg. 28).
Analytics On/Off—FB-Series ID Only
The FB-Series ID camera Intrusion Detection analytics can be enabled or disabled from the
Live Video page. Detection area and tripwire alarms must be setup prior to use.
Refer to Video Analytics Setup—FB-Series ID Only, pg. 37.
2.4 Basic Camera Configuration
The following procedures describe how to do the most common bench test camera configuration
steps, such as setting the camera IP address and hostname and changing the user password. To
make these changes, it is necessary to login using the expert user account. Additional setup and
configuration options required after the camera has been installed in its final location are described
after the basic steps are given, refer to Advanced Configuration, pg. 32.
2.4.1 Setup Menu
The Setup menu is used for GEO Settings (Latitude and Longitude location), Video setup, thermal
(IR) camera setup, and defining Video Analytics motion detection zones for the FB-Series ID
camera. For additional details, refer to Setup Menu, pg. 32.
Adjustments to the IR settings should only be made by someone who has expertise with thermal
cameras and a thorough understanding of how the various settings affect the image. In most
installations, the only camera settings needed are available from the Web Control panel on the Live
Video page (Palettes and Polarity). Haphazard changes can lead to image problems including a
complete loss of video. Additional information is provided in Thermal Image Setup - IR Page, pg. 35.
When making configuration changes using the Setup page, most of the changes take effect
immediately, and it is not necessary to start and stop the server. However it is necessary to save the
changes (with the Save Settings button at the bottom of the page) if it is desirable to use the new
settings as a default when the camera is powered on.
When a user logs in as admin, a complete Maintenance menu is available (refer to Maintenance
Menu, pg. 42). The Maintenance menu also provides access to other configuration options.
