Installation
5.4 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.
5.5 Resetting the Camera
The connector panel includes a Default button for easily resetting the camera. The button enables you to
save configured settings and to restore factory defaults, including network settings.
Default Button
To reboot the camera

Using DNA to Access the Cam era
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.

· FTP server's port 21 from anywhere (client initiates connection)
· FTP server's port 21 to ports > 1023 (server responds to client's control port)
· FTP server's ports > 1023 from anywhere (client initiates data connection to
random port specified by server)
· FTP server's ports > 1023 to remote ports > 1023 (server sends ACKs and

9.3.2.1.2 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.

3. In the Stream1 section, configure the following settings:
Note:
MJPEG is supported on Stream2 and Stream3 for all the available resolutions.
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 H.265 or H.264 according to the required
resolution, image quality and storage limitations. The default is H.264.
i. If you selected H.265 or H.264, the following fields are displayed:
Configuration and Operation
H.264 Settings
a. From the Profile drop-down list, select a profile: High Profile (H.265 and H.264) or
Main Profile (H.265 only). 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.
b. 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 intra-coded 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.265 and 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 I-Frames 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.

Configuration and Operation
Note:
Remember to synchronize the QoS setting of the camera with the network router.
ii. If you select MJPEG, the following fields are displayed:
a. 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.
c. 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.
MJPEG Settings
d. 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.
e. Do one of the following:
· If you selected MJPEG, continue with step 4.
· If you selected H.265 or H.264, Rate Control is displayed. 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
H.264 at 2925 kbps for UHD/4K, 691 kbps for HD 720p @ 15 fps,
and 375 kbps for D1 @ 30 fps. 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.
CF-6308 Box IP Camera User and Installation Guide
May 21, 201776
Configuration and Operation
· 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.
· Set the Max Bit Rate to a value between 64 to 20000. The default
settings are H.264 at 2925 kbps for UHD/4K @ 15 fps, 691 kbps
for HD 720p @ 15 fps, and 375 kbps for D1 @ 15 fps. 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.
· 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.
4. Repeat Step 3 for Stream2 and Stream3. If you are not using additional streams, select Off from
the Resolution drop-down list.
5. Click Save.

· 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

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.

9.3.3.1.5 True WDR Mode
True WDR mode is used to set a fixed exposure while other parameters can change. In this mode, the
camera’s shutter speed works automatically to achieve a consistent video output level in scenes with high
contrast or changing light issues.
True WDR Exposure Mode Settings
When activated, 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 and achieve
a greater scale of brightness.
In the Exposure section, configure the following settings:
· Exposure Value – See the explanation in the Auto Shutter section above.
· Backlight Compensation – See the explanation in the Auto Shutter section above.
· Enhanced WDR Level – Select the setting that provides the ideal brightness according to the
environmental luminance: High, Medium, Low or Off (default). Selecting High provides the most
brightness, while Low reduces brightness.
