Video

The video function allows you to view videos or camera sources on your system.

Ú

Note:

The video images are not shared from the Ethernet network. You can only view the

video on the unit connected to the video source.

If a FLIR camera is available on the Ethernet network, you can display the video and control
the camera from the system.
For information about how to connect the camera, see the separate Zeus

2

Installation

manual.

The Video panel

A video panel can be set up as a single panel, or as one of the panels on a multiple panel
page.
The video image is proportionally scaled to fit into the video panel. Areas not covered by the
image are colored black.

Setting up the video panel

Video source

Zeus

2

supports two video input channels. You can select to view one channel only, or to

cycle the image between available video cameras.
The cycle period can be set from 5 to 120 seconds.

Video standard

Zeus

2

supports NTSC and PAL video. Check the local video standard or the standard of your

cameras.

Adjusting the video image

You can optimize the video display by adjusting the video image settings. The settings are
adjusted individually for each video source. Default for all settings: 50%.

FLIR camera control

When the connection is established to a FLIR camera, the menu changes to include access to
FLIR camera controls.

Ú

Note:

You can take over camera control from any Zeus

2

connected to the Ethernet network.

Establishing connection with the FLIR video camera

When a video panel is active, the Zeus

2

automatically recognizes a FLIR camera if it is

available on the network.

Ú

Note:

When there is a DHCP server present on the Ethernet network, the FLIR camera needs

to be configured and set to have a Static IP Address before the connection can be
established. For instructions on how to configure your specific FLIR camera model, refer to
FLIR documentation.

Ú

Note:

Only one FLIR camera can be connected to the Ethernet network.

When you activate a video panel, the system starts searching the network for a FLIR camera.
