6 Using the DNA Utility to Search and
Access the Camera
The Discovery Network Assistant (DNA) is a user-friendly utility that is designed to easily discover and
configure FLIR Professional Security edge devices on a network. The DNA tool has a simple user interface
and does not require any installation. The software is provided as a single, standalone executable. It runs
on any PC.
DNA provides a central location for listing all the supported FLIR Professional Security camera models
accessible over the network. Once listed, each camera can be right-clicked to access and change the
network settings. If the network settings are changed for some reason, a new search will relist the units.
The units may then be configured via the web interface.
If FLIR's Latitude VMS is being used, configure the unit with a static IP address rather than with DHCP.
This ensures that the IP address will not automatically change in the future and interfere with configurations
and communication.
The camera must be made accessible for setting network addresses.
Note:
For detailed guidelines about DNA and its usage, refer to the DNA 2.1 User Manual, which is included in
the CD provided with the camera.
