Camera Control And Status; Web Control Panel - FLIR F-Series Installation Manual

2 Basic Operation and Configuration
If the live video is not displayed, refer to section 2.8 "Troubleshooting Tips" on page 2-18. In the lower
right of the web page there is a frame rate selector. This selector allows the user to change the rate at
which the frames are displayed in the browser. This rate controls the user's own web browser only,
and does not affect the video streams to other users or to an NVR.
Note
Before making any configuration changes, it may be wise to back up the existing configuration. Refer
to section 2.6.4 "Configuration File" on page 2-15 for information about the configuration file.
2.3.2
In the lower left of the screen are two indicator "lights": Control and Status.
Initially the Control light is off, as in the image above, indicating the user is not
able to control the camera immediately. When multiple users are connected to
a camera, only one user at a time can issue commands to the camera. If
another user has control of the camera, the Control light is yellow.
A user is able to request control of the camera by clicking on the yellow or
black "light", or simply by sending a command to the camera. For example,
move the cursor over the video and select the "Zoom In" control (magnifying
glass with "+") that appears in the lower left of the screen. The Status light may
turn off temporarily while waiting for the response from the camera. After a
short pause, the Control light should turn green. Observe what happens to the
image when the "Zoom In" control is clicked several times. Be patient, there
may be a slight delay between each command while the browser waits for a response from the
camera.
If a command is sent to the camera when the user does not have control, the command will not be
executed, and it is necessary to send the command again once the light is green.
2.3.3
The control buttons on the right side of the page provide a way to control
the camera. When the mouse cursor is positioned over a button, a screen
tip is displayed which explains the function of the button.
This same web interface is used with various FLIR thermal cameras; some
are fixed mount cameras, such as the F-Series and FC-Series S cameras,
and some have pan/tilt capabilities, such as the PT-Series and D-Series.
As a result, some buttons appearing in the control panel may be disabled if
they do not apply to the camera in use.
