2 Basic Operation and Configuration
Perform IR NUC Calibration
This button causes the camera to do a manual Non-Uniformity Correction (NUC) operation.
The F-Series camera, by default, does an automatic NUC calibration as required based on
changes in temperature.
Toggle Scene Preset
This button causes the IR camera to cycle through different image settings. The Scene
Presets cause the image brightness and contrast to adjust. Depending on the time of day,
weather, and other conditions, one Scene Preset may be preferable to the others.
Function
When the Function button is selected, the keypad changes to
a numeric keypad. A tool tip can be shown when a function
has been assigned to a number. Use the back (
) arrow to
return to the Control Panel.
Toggle Automatic Gain Control (AGC)
This button causes the camera to cycle through different AGC options that use a
combination of settings to produce different configurations that could improve the video
image for a given set of conditions.
Freeze Video
This button stops the video on a single frame. Click again to start the video.
2.3 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.
Note
2.3.1 Expert and Admin Accounts
When a user logs in as expert or admin, additional menus, Setup
and Maintenance are available. The Setup menu is used to make
advanced adjustments to the thermal camera.
The basic camera configuration steps are accessed through the Maintenance > Server menu, using
the menus on the left side of the page. The LAN Settings, Services, and Security Options
selections are described below (
Maintenance Menu, pg. 24). The expert login has access to the
Server pages. The admin login provides access to all configuration options. The login passwords
should be changed (admin login required) to prevent unauthorized access.
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.
