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.

Document Scope and Purpose
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 --20°
to 50°C (-4° to 122°F), with no more than 90% non-condensing humidity.
Attention:
Afin d'éviter tout dommage dû à une surchauffe ou toute panne de l'unité, assurez-vous que la régulation
de température est suffisante pour répondre aux exigences de l'unité (refroidissement/chauffage). La
température de fonctionnement doit être maintenue dans la plage (-20° à 50°C/-4° à 122°F), sans
condensation d'humidité supérieur à 90%.
Site Preparation
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.
·
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.

Configuring Communication Settings
4.1 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.
4.2 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.
See Accessing Camera Information from the Web
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. See Accessing Camera
Information from the Web
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.

Events Source > Audio Screen
A graph displays audio when is detected. Audio that is below the Sound Intensity Threshold is displayed in
green. When audio exceeds the defined threshold, it creates an audio event and is displayed in red.
Sound Intensity Threshold
Setting a low threshold (for example, 25) means that the camera is more sensitive to noise, which results
in more alerts (displayed in red). The setting depends on the situation and environment. If the scene is
located in a quiet place, it is possible to use lower threshold. A noisy location requires a higher threshold.
When selecting Record to Edge, the recording includes the audio track. OSD must be enabled on the

If setting up Basic Video Analytics for the first time, see Basic Video Analytics Camera
License, Providing cameras with Basic Video Analytics Licenses
The setup for the Analytics Rules follow the same general setup sequence for all Rules. Each
Rule has specific configurations that are described in detail in each relevant section.
Notes:
1. It is important that the camera is properly positioned to allow an adequate Field of View.
2. All Rules are directional. A rule's direction is indicated in the Setup screen.
3. Only one rule may be active at a time.
General Setup
1. The first time a user starts configuring the Analytics pages, the Initial Settings page must be
completed. This configures the minimum and maximum object sizes to be detected in a scene.
2. The user will then draw desired lines or zones depending on the specific rule.
3. Each rule's "basic" page will vary depending on the required settings.
4. The Advanced Options section is used to change Sensitivity, create exclusive Masks and set an
Arming Schedule.
5. The final step is to choose the Analytic Action to be trigger when a rule is activated.
CF-6308 Box IP Camera User and Installation Guide

Configuration and Operation
Note: This section appears on every Analytic rules page and is linked between all rule. i.e. setting and
changing this setting for any rule, will update those settings to all rules.
The setup process includes two simple steps:
·
Setting the minimum object size to be detected in the scene
·
Setting the maximum object size to be detected.
It doesn’t matter where the markers are placed in the scene, but it is important that they reflect potential
objects in the scene and their correct proportions.
The first time a user enters a specific Rules screen, they will be asked to define the size that an object or
person on the screen might be.
The first screen is Min. Object Size where the user defines the minimum size of an object that they would
like to be detected (yellow box).
The second screen is Max Object Size where the user defines the maximum size of an object that they
would like to be detected (blue box).
The section can be changed at anytime by clicking the Reset Object Size button from the main screen for
that rule.
Note: It's important to keep the shapes consistent between the min and max size for best results.
Note: In general, the camera should be installed at a height of 2.5m - 4 m., and inclined at an appropriate
angle. (For example, a camera used for detecting intrusion would be pointed obliquely at the field to be
viewed, whereas a camera being used for counting people would be mounted vertically.)
If the scene changes significantly, (e.g. a building being demolished), or a new rule is being activated, it’s
recommended to use the Reset Scene button. This will re-initialize the analytics processes running in the
background of the scene and adapt it to the new or changed scene.

b. FLIR operations creates the licenses .zip file as above.
c. When the cameras are delivered, the User follows the Loading the License step above.
5.3.1.6.8.4 Camera Distribution
When selecting where and how many cameras are to be deployed, it is important that the area to be
covered by a particular camera should not be so large that the targets to be recognized are too small. Until
reasonable on-site parameters are established, the user should experiment with the Minimum and
Maximum Object Size settings of each camera.
A camera's Field of View should be able to see a target 'Head-to-Toe' anywhere in the area that it protects.
5.3.1.6.8.5 Camera Positioning
When determining camera placement, there are several ways to achieve optimal area coverage and fence
line protection.
The specific perimeter layout, application requirements, and site topology must be considered.
In most cases, optimal performance and efficiency for Border Line protection are achieved by placing
cameras so that their fields of view run parallel to the fence line perpendicular to the movement of potential
intruders approaching or crossing the perimeter.
Within the camera’s field of view, the highest probability of detection and the lowest rate of false alarms are
achieved when targets move horizontally from one side of the camera image to the other.
Thus, to ensure full camera coverage across the perimeter.
• Position cameras so their field of view runs parallel to the fence line and perpendicular to intruder
movement, rather than directing them so they will face approaching targets
• Plce caeras at an angle that shows as little of the skyline as possible.
• When determining the camera positioning, consider whether you only need to detect the moment of
intrusion or when a target simply approaches an area

An urban area can present a set of difficult challenges to providing accurate detections. These include
irregular lighting conditions and buildings, high density of people and animals, and movement around the
clock. Placing the camera in an ideal location may not be possible due to legal or privacy concerns.
These factors need to be taken into account when determining the coverage and the analytic rule that is
used.
5.3.1.6.8.6 Detection Ranges
Detection ranges are based on the number of pixels that the object occupies in the scene, regardless of
what the object may be. Therefore, it is vital to set relevant and accurate minimum and maximum objects
size values.
Other than the object size, which is the critical factor, detection range criteria also depend on a large
number of environmental and system variables
These include:
·
Background temperature (hot desert versus cold snow)
·
Atmospheric conditions (clear skies versus fog).
These factors directly influence the following criteria:
·
Scene’s contrast level
·
Visibility of the target
·
Ability to understand the nature of the target (moving vehicle vs. crawling human)
·
Speed, and movement of the target object
For a 'real' Object Size of width = 800mm ; height = 1800mm. (Typically the dimensions representing a
person):

2. Due to lens distortion, better detections will occur for objects in the center of the picture, compared with
the edges of the scene.
3. The larger the size of the object, the earlier the detection.
4. The scene and camera mounting may affect the accuracy of detections. For example, a camera with a
very limited field of view may have poor detections.
5.3.1.6.8.7 Mounting and Lighting
Make sure that cameras are mounted securely on walls or on stable poles in order to minimize vibrations
and maximize resistance to wind.
Ensure adequate lighting for the scene to be monitored.
It should be kept in mind that in dark scenes, the effective detection range with the IR LEDs ‘On’ is about
30 meters.
5.3.1.6.8.8 Rule-based Settings
The Basic Settings page mostly varies from rule to rule based on the required configuration.
The following items are consistent throughout all of the Basic settings screens:
Reset Object Size
Brings the user back to the Initial Settings screen to reconfigured the object sizes when a scene changes
or a different rule is activated.
State
The State will show as Active or Inactive. Only a single Analytic rule can be Active at one time. This will
display Active for an already configured and active rule and will display Inactive for all other rules that are
not currently in use.
Disable Rule
This check box is used to disable a rule and put it into an Inactive state. If a rule shows an Inactive and the
user would like to change it to active, follow the steps to configure a rule. Once the procedure is complete,
that rule will become Active, disabling any other previously active rules.
The following sections will describe the specific nuances of each rule and how to configure them.

There are two possible issues when working with video analytics:
·
Missed detections
·
False alarms.
In both cases, the first step is to re-check the set minimum and maximum object sizes. For example, if the
minimum object size is very small, it might allow for the detection of small animals. Adjust the size, shape,
and location of the zone/line to make sure that it and areas immediately adjacent to it are covered clearly
by the camera’s field of view.
The Sensitivity setting can be used to adjust the overall probability of detection. A high value of sensitivity
may also lead to a relatively high ratio of false alarms.
If the protected area is adjacent to or includes a zone that is likely to have a high degree of motion, like
wind blowing through foliage, an Exclusive Mask may be set. The area covered by the mask will not trigger
any detections
