Camera Installation
This manual describes the installation and initial configuration of the FB-Series thermal camera. The
FB-Series O and the FB-Series ID are based on identical hardware. The FB-Series ID camera has
software installed providing for on-board video analytics—setting of detection regions, tripwire, and
classification of detected objects which is not available with the FB-Series O camera.
1.1 Camera Overview
The FB-Series cameras are components within the FLIR Thermal Fence. The video from the camera
can be viewed over a traditional analog video network or it can be viewed by streaming it over an IP
network using M-JPEG and H.264 encoding. The Ethernet connection also provides for camera
configuration and control using either a web browser or a video management system (VMS) such as
FLIR Latitude
TM
.
The FLIR Thermal Fence combines FLIR thermal security cameras and the FLIR Latitude control and
management software in a fully integrated perimeter security solution. The FLIR Thermal Fence
provides automated perimeter surveillance, intrusion detection, and alert capabilities for perimeter
security applications including critical infrastructure, petrochemical facilities, nuclear facilities,
commercial campuses, and residential neighborhoods. The FLIR Thermal Fence gives you instant,
automated threat detection and visual threat assessment capability around the clock in one easy-to-
use package.
If help is needed during the installation process, contact the local FLIR service representative or call
the appropriate support number listed at: https://www.flir.com/support/. All installers and integrators are
encouraged to take advantage of the training offered by FLIR; visit
https://www.flir.com/support-center/training/ for more information.
For safety, and to achieve the highest levels of performance from the FB-Series camera system,
always follow the warnings and cautions in this manual when handling and operating the camera.
1.2 Warnings and Cautions
Warning!
Caution!
If mounting the FB-Series camera on a pole, tower or any elevated location, use industry standard
safe practices to avoid injuries.
Except as described in this manual, do not open the FB-Series camera for any reason. Damage to
the camera can occur as the result of careless handling or electrostatic discharge (ESD). Always
handle the camera with care to avoid damage to electrostatic-sensitive components.
Prior to making any connections, ensure the power supply or circuit breaker is switched off.
Be careful not to leave fingerprints on the FB-Series camera’s infrared optics.
Operating the camera outside of the specified input voltage range or the specified operating
temperature range can cause permanent damage.
