How to fix FLIR Thermal camera when video is not displayed?
- R
  Rebecca VargasJul 28, 2025
  If your FLIR Thermal camera isn't displaying video, there are several potential causes. First, the camera might be in Standby mode; use the camera controls (either the thermal camera application or JCU) to wake it. Also, check the thermal camera network cables (RayNet or Ethernet) to ensure they are securely connected. Finally, verify the power connections to the camera and JCU / PoE injector (if used), ensure the power switch/breaker is on, and check the fuse/breaker state.

What to do if FLIR Thermal camera controls are erratic or unresponsive?

  If you're experiencing erratic or unresponsive controls on your FLIR Thermal camera, start by checking that the controller and thermal camera are correctly connected to the network, either directly or via a Raymarine network switch. Also, ensure that no other controllers are in use at the same time, as this can cause control conflicts. Finally, check the power and network cabling to the controller and PoE injector (if used with an optional Joystick Control Unit).

Why is the image on my FLIR Thermal camera too dark or too light?

  Justin JohnsonAug 9, 2025
  If the image on your FLIR Thermal camera appears too dark or too light, first adjust the display brightness controls. If that doesn't resolve the issue, the Scene Mode might not be appropriate for the current conditions. Try using the SCENE button to select a different mode that better suits the environment, especially if there's a very cold background like the sky.

How to control FLIR Thermal camera from Raymarine display?
- D
  Diane ObrienAug 15, 2025
  To control your FLIR Thermal camera from a Raymarine display or keyboard, make sure the thermal camera application is running on the multifunction display, rather than the video application, which lacks camera controls.

Why is the image inverted (upside down) on my FLIR Thermal camera?
- A
  Allen DennisAug 20, 2025
  If the image on your FLIR Thermal camera is inverted (upside down), the camera’s “Ball down” setting is likely incorrect. Ensure that the Ball down setting is set correctly.
