Document Scope and Purpose
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.

Introduction to the Quasar HD PTZ Camera
A steady green link LED indicates good network connection.
The yellow activity LED flashes to indicate network activity.
3.3.1 Connecting the Unit to the Network
A Cat 5 Ethernet cable is recommended for network connection. To ensure transmission quality, cable
length should not exceed 100 meters (328 feet). Connect one end of the Ethernet cable to the RJ45
connector of the system cable. Plug the other end of the cable into the network switch or PC. Check the
status of the link and the activity LEDs. If the LEDs are unlit, check the LAN connection.
3.3.2 Connecting Power to the Camera
Depending on the model, the camera is powered by PoE+, Ultra PoE, or by an external 24VAC adaptor
(not included in the package).
· If using an external power supply, connect the power leads or three-pin power terminal block to the
power supply.
· If using PoE, make sure that a Power Sourcing Equipment (PSE) device is used in the network.

Using the DNA Utility to Search and 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 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.
