Although the FB-Series O camera does not have on-board video analytics, many video management
systems and video encoders analyze the video signals to send alarm notifications based on
customized rules. Several types of third-party Video Management Systems (VMS) are supported by
FLIR IP cameras. Because these systems tend to evolve and change over time, contact the local
FLIR representative or FLIR Technical Support for information.
For installations with multiple cameras, the fields of view of cameras should overlap in order to
remove all dead zones in which a camera cannot see a target "head to toe".
• Install the camera at a height of approximately 4 m (13 ft) or more.
• Typically direct the camera towards the ground with a tilt angle α within a range of 45° to 60°
while ensuring the field of view includes as little of the skyline as possible.
• Ensure that cameras are mounted on stable mounts with minimal vibrations and maximal
resistance to wind.
• The tilt angle (
