The following sections describe more advanced camera configuration options that require the admin 
login. For the configuration changes in the remainder of this chapter, it is necessary to save the 
changes, then stop and restart the server to make the changes effective. Additional configuration 
options are available that are not described in this manual. For more information on setting or 
changing these camera...

The default TCP port for most FLIR IP cameras is 1001. This is the port number that a client program 
such as FSM can use to communicate with the camera. If using an ONVIF-compliant VMS as a client, 
refer to VMS Remote, below.
If the Enable Network Broadcast Discovery 
parameter is set to Yes, the camera sends 
out a “discovery” packet on the network 
every half second as an Ethernet broadcast. 
To restrict client programs to allowed IP...

Set the temperature units for FC-Series R camera displays on the IR page. On the GPIO page read 
the default I/O parameters, set the output reset interval, or change signal labels. GPIO is enabled by 
default.
IR:  Adjustments to the IR settings should only be made by someone who has expertise with thermal 
cameras and a thorough understanding of how the various settings affect the image. Haphazard 
changes can lead to image...

GPIO:  GPIO is enabled by default, although the GPIO signals must be wired during installation, refer 
to 
General Purpose Input/Output (GPIO), pg. 1-2. The Output Reset Interval can be used to 
automatically reset the output signal after a certain amount of time. The value of 0 prevents the GPIO 
from resetting automatically (it must be reset with a client program such as FSM).
The illustration at the right shows the default settings 
for...

Video 0 uses H.264 encoding and Video 1 uses MPEG 4 encoding. To modify parameters that affect 
a particular IP Video stream from the camera, select the appropriate link at the top of the page (for 
example, Video 0). 
With the factory configuration, the default parameters provide high-quality full frame-rate video 
streams with reasonable bandwidth usage. The default settings for each video stream provide high-
quality, full frame-rate...

According to the specification, RTP is originated and 
received on even port numbers and the associated RTCP 
communication uses the next higher odd port number; the 
default RTP Port is 554. The Stream Name is used when 
establishing a session from a client. The default value 
recognized by FSM for the first stream is ch0; the complete 
connection string is: 
rtsp://192.168.250.116/ch0. 
If necessary, this stream name can be used to open...

The parameters in the Settings section will have a significant 
impact on the quality and bandwidth requirements of the 
video stream. In general it is recommended that the default 
values are used initially, and then individual parameters can 
be modified and tested incrementally to determine if the 
bandwidth and quality requirements are met.
For each video stream, the Codec Type options are MPEG4, 
H.264 or MJPEG. MPEG4 requires the...

On Screen Display (OSD):  Use the OSD page to turn on and configure the On Screen Display 
(OSD) options. It may be desirable to display text information (such as the name of the camera or the 
date/time) as an overlay on the video image. The OSD configuration page allows certain camera-
related information to be displayed in the analog video and in the IP video streams. It is possible to 
display the following parameters as an overlay on...

The Initial System Info parameters control how 
the initial system information is displayed, such 
as the IP address and Serial Number. By default 
this information is displayed on the video overlay 
(analog and IP) for 10 seconds.
The Thermography Info setting controls 
whether the Thermography OSD temperature 
readings are displayed on the video overlay 
(FC-Series R camera only). 
The OSD text will appear on the IP video 
streams as...

Alarm Manager:  Use the Alarm Manager page to set the response and action that results from an 
individual alarm. It is possible to have more than one action for a single alarm by adding additional 
rules (for example, one action could capture an image and another could generate an output). The 
actions resulting from each alarm condition, may require defining Message Systems and setting up 
Notification Lists (refer to 
Services Menu, pg....
