2 Basic Operation and Configuration
2.6 Basic Camera Configuration
The following procedures describe how to do the most common basic camera configuration steps,
such as setting the camera IP address and hostname and changing the user passwords. To make
these changes, it is necessary to login using the admin user account.
Note
2.6.1 Expert and Admin Accounts
When a user logs in as expert, an additional menu called Setup is available. The
Setup menu can be used to make advanced adjustments to the thermal camera.
For a pan/tilt camera, it can also be used to make configuration changes to the
daylight camera and the pan/tilt platform. These adjustments 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 problems including a
complete loss of video.
When a user logs in as admin, a third menu called Maintenance
is available. It is possible to use settings on the Maintenance
menu to modify the network settings, including the IP address of
the camera. It is also possible to use the Maintenance menu to
change the login passwords. The Maintenance menu also provides access to many other
configuration options.
In most installations, the only camera settings needed are available from the Live Video page (using
Scene Presets or Polarity). Use caution when modifying the camera settings described in this
section. Some settings may adversely affect the thermal image over time or may completely disable
the camera or the network interface.
