Communications Menu
The primary IP configuration parameters, such as IP address, network
mask, and gateway, are configured with the LAN Settings page (refer to
LAN Settings, pg. 19
). The Networking page can be used to configure some
of the other IP networking parameters.
Networking Page:
Generally it is assumed the camera network will be secured through recognized
network security measures and best practices, such as limited physical access, firewalls, and so on.
As an additional security consideration, it is possible to restrict access to the camera to a limited
number of IP Addresses.
The default TCP port for most FLIR IP cameras is 1001. This is the port number that a client program
such as FLIR Latitude can use to communicate with the camera. If using an ONVIF-compliant VMS
as a client, refer to VMS Remote, below.
