3 Advanced Configuration
In this chapter, additional setup and configuration settings related to the following topics are described:
• Optimizing the thermal image
• Setting up detection areas for Video Analytics (VA)
• Setting up measurement spots and areas for temperature monitoring
• Configuring alarm responses and email notifications
• Configuring the camera to work with a third-party VMS (ONVIF)
• Enabling On Screen Display (OSD) text
• Setting up the video streams to optimize quality and network performance
When configuration changes are made with the web browser, the settings are saved to a configuration
file. It is a good idea to make a backup of the existing configuration file prior to making changes, and
another backup once the changes are finalized. If necessary the camera can be restored to its original
factory configuration or one of the saved configurations (refer to Files Menu, pg. 3-26).
3.1 Setup Menu
The Setup menu has configuration options for:
• setting the GEO parameters (geo-reference map location used by programs like FSM)
• making changes to the IR (thermal) camera
• defining Video Analytics motion detection zones
• setting Radiometry temperature measurement areas (FC-Series R only)
It is necessary to have control of the camera to make Setup changes. The changes made through the
Setup menu have an immediate effect (it is not necessary to stop and restart the server). Note, if it is
desirable to use the new settings at power up, it is necessary to save the changes (refer to Save
Settings, pg. 3-3).
