Select a suitable location to mount the camera. Make sure that when mounted, the camera’s general orientation covers the required field of view.
For advice on positioning and orienting the camera, see the camera’s installation and user guide.
Verify that the operating temperature range is between -40°C ~ 60°C (-40° ~ 140°F) cold start, 0-95% relative humidity.
For the list of mounting accessories available for the camera, see the FLIR Security Cameras – Accessory Guide.

Configure the Camera

FLIR recommends configuring the camera before mounting and aiming it. It is also possible to configure the camera after mounting it, which could be more appropriate for certain installations.

Install the FLIR DNA tool
The FLIR Discovery Network Assistant (DNA) tool does not require a license to use and it is free. Download it from the FLIR Quasar™ Premium Bullet pages at FLIR.com > Products > Security > Visible Security Cameras. Save the ZIP file on a computer running Windows on the same VLAN to which you will connect the camera. Then, unzip the file.

Connect the Camera

Attach an Ethernet cable from the network switch to the RJ45 connector for a 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet and PoE+ (Power over Ethernet) IEEE 802.3at connection. Ethernet is required for streaming video and for configuring the camera.
Connect the audio and alarm connectors, if needed.
If using an external DC or AC power supply, connect its wires to the two-pin terminal block. Then, attach the terminal block to the system cable’s two-pin power connector.

(Optional) Insert a microSD card into the slot on the camera body. For information about accessing the microSD card slot and the camera’s other internal interfaces, see the camera’s installation and user guide.

Configure for Networking

You can configure the camera using version 2.3.0.20 or higher of the DNA tool, the camera’s web page, or a supported VMS.

For information about using the camera’s web page to configure the camera, see the camera’s installation and user guide. For information about using a supported VMS to configure the camera, see the VMS documentation.
By default, DHCP is enabled on the camera and a DHCP server on the network assigns the camera an IP address. For example, if the camera is managed by FLIR’s Horizon or Meridian VMS and the VMS is configured as a DHCP server, the VMS automatically assigns the camera an IP address.

If the camera is managed by FLIR’s Latitude VMS or is on a network with static IP addressing, you can manually specify the camera’s IP address using the DNA tool or the camera’s web page. The camera’s default IP address is 192.168.0.250.

To manually specify the camera’s IP address using the DNA tool:

Make sure the camera and the PC are on the same LAN segment.
Run the DNA tool (DNA.exe) by double-clicking .
The Discover List appears, showing compatible devices on the LAN segment and their current IP addresses.

In the DNA Discover List, verify that the camera’s status is Online.
If this is the first time you are configuring the camera or if it is the first time after resetting the camera to its factory defaults, DNA automatically authenticates the camera with the default password for the camera’s admin user (admin).

If the admin user password has been changed, you need to authenticate the camera.
In the DNA Discover List, right-click the camera and select Login.
In the DNA – Login window, type the password for the admin user. If you do not know the admin user password, contact the person who configured the camera’s users and passwords.
Click Login, wait for Ok status to appear, and then click Close.

In the DNA Discover List, verify that the camera’s status is Authenticated.

Change the camera’s IP address. Right-click the camera and select IP Setup. In the DNA – IP Setup window, clear Use DHCP and specify the camera’s IP address. You can also specify the Mask
(default: 255.255.255.0) and Gateway.
Then, click Update, wait for Ok status to appear, and then click Close.

Change Video Format (Optional)

By default, NTSC is the camera’s video format.
To change the camera’s video format to PAL using the DNA tool:

In the DNA Discover List, right-click the camera and select Change Video Format.
In the Change Video Format window, select PAL.
Click Update, wait for Ok status to appear, and then click Close.

For more information about using the DNA tool to configure one or more cameras, see the DNA User Guide. While the software is open, click the Help icon .
