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.

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.

System Connection

CF-6308 Box IP Camera User and Installation Guide

May 21, 201714

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

1. Press the Default button for approximately five seconds. The unit reboots.Configured settings are

saved.

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.

Configuring the Unit’s Initial IP Address

Note:

1. It is possible to set the IP address without changing the subnet.

2. The unit and the PC must be physically connected on the same network segment.

7 Configuring the Unit’s Initial IP Address

Use the FLIR DNA utility to discover the unit on the network and to set the unit’s initial IP address.

· If the camera is located on a network that uses a DHCP server, or is managed by FLIR’s Horizon
or Meridian VMS and is configured as a DHCP server, configure the camera with DHCP-enabled.
Horizon or Meridian automatically assigns the camera an IP address.

· If the camera is located on a network that does not use a DHCP server, or is managed by FLIR’s
Latitude VMS, manually enter its IP address in the DNA utility.

To manage the camera using Horizon, Meridian, or on a DHCP-enabled network

1. Insert the CD included in the package in your computer’s disk drive.

2. Run the dna.exe file by clicking the icon. The DNA application opens and the device is
