Video Setup
Video:
By default, two video streams are enabled for the camera: Video 0 and Video 1. Both video
streams are available for viewing from a client program such as FLIR Latitude, a stand-alone video
player, or a third-party VMS (including ONVIF systems).
By default, Video 0 uses MJPEG encoding and Video 1 uses H.264 encoding. To modify parameters
that affect a particular IP Video stream from the camera, select the appropriate link (for example,
Video - 0
).
With the factory configuration, the default parameters provide high-quality full frame-rate video
streams with reasonable bandwidth usage. The default settings for each video stream provide high-
quality, full frame-rate video. In general, for most installations it will not be necessary to modify the
default parameters. However in some cases, such as when a video stream is sent over a wireless
network, it may be useful to “tune” the video stream to try to reduce the bandwidth requirements. In
particular, the RTSP Settings, Network Options, and the Settings parameters are described below.
Caution!
Adjustments to these settings should only be made by someone trained with thermal cameras
and a thorough understanding of how the various settings affect the image.
Haphazard changes can lead to image problems including a complete loss of video.
