Camera Installation
supported by FLIR IP cameras. Because these systems tend to evolve and change over time,
contact the local FLIR representative or FLIR Technical Support for information.
For installations with multiple FC-Series ID cameras with on-board video analytics, the fields of view
of cameras should overlap in order to remove all dead zones in which a camera cannot see a target
“head to toe”. The camera’s on-board analytics must be calibrated to detect targets. Refer to
Analytics Page—FC-Series ID only, pg. 50.
• Install the camera at a height of approximately 4 m (13 ft) or more.
• Typically direct the camera towards the ground with a tilt angle α within a range of 45° to 60°
while ensuring the field of view includes as little of the skyline as possible.
• Ensure that cameras are mounted on stable mounts with minimal vibrations and maximal
resistance to wind.
• The tilt angle (
α) is the angle between vertical and the center of the camera field of view.
Typically direct the camera towards the ground with a tilt angle α of 45° to 60°. Include as little
skyline as possible in the field of view.
1.3.6 Camera Mounting for Rear Cable Access
The FC-Series camera can be secured to the mount with two in-line 1/4-20 threaded fasteners on
the top or bottom of the camera. Alternatively the camera can be mounted with four M5 x 0.8
threaded fasteners to the bottom of the camera. Use Loctite 222 low strength threadlocker for the
top mount fasteners (can be used with the bottom mount fasteners also). Refer to the FC-Series ICD
for additional information.
