Proper Disposal of Electrical and Electronic Equipment (EEE)

The European Union (EU) has enacted Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment
Directive 2012/19/EU (WEEE), which aims to prevent EEE waste from arising; to
encourage reuse, recycling, and recovery of EEE waste; and to promote
environmental responsibility.

In accordance with these regulations, all EEE products labeled with the “crossed
out wheeled bin” either on the product itself or in the product literature must not be

disposed of in regular rubbish bins, mixed with regular household or other commercial waste, or by
other regular municipal waste collection means. Instead, and in order to prevent possible harm to the
environment or human health, all EEE products (including any cables that came with the product)
should be responsibly discarded or recycled.

To identify a responsible disposal method nearby, please contact the local waste collection or
recycling service, the original place of purchase or product supplier, or the responsible government
authority in the area. Business users should contact their supplier or refer to their purchase contract.

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.

·

Electrostatic Safeguards: The unit and other equipment connected to it (relay outputs, alarm
inputs, racks, carpeting, etc.) shall be properly grounded to prevent electrostatic discharge.

The physical installation of the unit is the first phase of making the unit operational in a security plan. The
goal is to physically place the unit, connect it to other devices in the system, and to establish network
connectivity. When finished with the physical installation, complete the second phase of installation, which
is the setup and configuration of the unit.

5.6 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.

CM-3304/CM-3308 User and Installation Guide

September 4, 201716

Using DNA to Access the Camera

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.

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.

9.3.2 Streaming Tab

The Streaming tab is used for configuring video settings, privacy zones, and region of interest settings.

9.3.2.1 Video Settings

The Video Settings screen is used for configuring the streams and such video parameters as resolution;
video compression type and related settings; quality of service; and frame rate. Additional settings are
available when using H.265 and H.264 compression.

Video Settings Screen

9.3.2.1.1 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.

2. 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.

CM-3304/CM-3308 User and Installation Guide

Configuration and Operation

Note:

1. Stream1 supports 2560 x 1440 @ 25 fps only when operating with D1.

2. The frame rate on Stream1 is limited to 15 fps when operating at 4k resolution in
Corridor mode.

3. Corridor mode does not operate with MJPEG compression.

Note:

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

3. In the Stream1 section, configure the following settings:
a. From Resolution drop-down list, select the desired resolutions. The default resolution is

3840x2160. See CM-3304 Video Resolutions or CM-3308 Video Resolutions for available
resolutions.

b. 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.

c. 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.

d. 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 2925 kbps
in Stream1, 691 kbps for Stream2, and 442 kbps for Stream3. 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.

a. Set the Max Bit Rate to a value between 64 to 20000. The default settings are

H.264 at 2925 kbps for Stream1, 691 kbps for Stream2, and 375 kbps for
Stream3. 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.

September 4, 201776

Configuration and Operation

Note:

Only Main Profile is available with H.265.

b. 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.

e. From the Compression drop-down list, select H.265 or H.264 according to the required

image quality and storage limitations. The default is H.264.

f. From the Profile drop-down list, select a profile: High Profile or Main Profile. 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.

g. 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 intra­coded 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.264 video compression. Transmitted video frames are compared to
the I-Frame as they are transmitted. Video quality is higher when the interval between I­Frames 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.

4. Repeat the above steps for Stream2 and Stream3.

·

If you require H.265 or H.264 compression, follow the instructions above.

·

If you require MJPEG compression, do the following:

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 MJPEG according to the required image

quality and storage limitations. The Quality Level drop-down list is displayed.

c. 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.

d. In the DSCP text box, enter a value between 0-63. See instructions above for Stream1.

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 1/3rd, Central 1/6th, Left, Right, or OFF (default setting). The settings
are as follows:

·

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.

9.3.3.1.4 Manual Mode

Manual mode opens the iris completely with a fixed gain. This mode should only be used in indoor scenes
with consistent lighting. Manual mode requires the user to set fixed values for shutter and gain levels.
Increasing the value of the fixed shutter increases the amount of light entering the sensor, which allows a
brighter and more detailed image. In a similar manner, 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.

The CM-3304 and the CM-3308 have different configuration options as shown in the figures below:
