Setting a static IP address

In some circumstances, you may need to set a static IP address for the camera’s IP-network, rather than relying on the automatic IP addresses provided by the DHCP server (the camera’s default setting).

Note

Unless you are specifically instructed in FLIR documentation, or have previous experience of configuring IP networks, you should NOT attempt to set the camera’s IP-network parameters manually. If you mis-configure the IP-network parameters, your camera may stop working correctly or become inaccessible on the network.

This procedure assumes that you have already established a network connection, and can access the camera’s Web interface. To configure the camera’s IP network parameters manually:

  1. Log into the camera’s Web interface.

    For more information on logging in, refer to:

  2. From the Web Interface Homescreen, select System Settings from the bottom left of the screen.
  3. Select Network.
  4. Select the DNS Mode drop down menu and select Static.
  5. Select the Host Name drop down menu and select Static.
  6. Adjust the values for IP Address and Netmask as required.
    Note

    Keep a record of the changes made. You will need this address to access the camera’s Web interface in future.

  7. At the bottom of the page, select Save.
