IP Interface and PC Operations
The M400 cameras and JCU IIs are network devices that communicate over an Ethernet network
using Internet Protocol (IP). In addition to using the JCU II to control and configure a camera, a
user or installer can also complete similar operations and more advanced configurations using a
Web browser

to view the video and control the camera.
Once the camera is connected to a network and powered on, a video management system (VMS)
or a network video recorder (for example, FLIR DNR400 Series) can record video streams and
provide other features such as cloud storage. Refer to the documentation of any VMS or video
recorder for operation and setup details.
The M400 camera and JCU II are shipped with Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP)
enabled to assign IP addresses. During installation or at other times the system may have been
set to Static addressing and these addresses may have been changed.
M400 Web Browser Interface

Haphazard changes can lead to image problems including a complete loss of video.
