Getting started

  1. Mount the camera with a VESA‑compatible mounting. Position it so the front part, with microphones & camera, faces the area to monitor.

  2. Place the camera at least 0.3 m from the target and aim it directly at the area of interest.

    The autofocus adjusts automatically, make sure the subject is beyond the minimum focus distance of 0,3 m for a clear image.

  3. Power the camera with a PoE+ injector (minimum Type 2, 30 W). The Power (PWR) LED will flash green to indicate AP mode for alternative wireless setup. This applies to Wi-Fi versions only. Non-Wifi models show power LED as solid GREEN.

    • AP mode allows the camera to act as its own Wi‑Fi hotspot, allowing a laptop, tablet, or smartphone to connect directly to the camera without requiring any external network infrastructure

  4. On the injector:

    • Connect the power port to the camera with the PoE pin connector.

    • Connect an M12 X-code RJ45M cable or use M12 X-code to RJ45F adapter and a standard Ethernet cable.

  5. Connect to the computer or network in one of the following ways:

    • Connect a Cat5 cable from the PoE injector Data port to the computer, and the PoE port to the camera.

    • Connect the camera via WiFi, see step 7 below.

  6. When the PWR light is solid GREEN or flashing GREEN, it indicates normal camera operation.

  7. Open the web browser and enter: http://flir-acoustic-camera-SERIALNUMBER.local/ (serial on the camera label, e.g., AC26xxxx).

    Note

    If the .local address does not load (depending on your network availability), use the IP address instead, http://169.254.0.1.

  8. Log in to the configurator tool.

    • Enter the default username and password found on the login information card that came with the camera. After the first login, you can change the password and create a new user.

    • If login fails or the credentials are forgotten, press and hold the Reset button for 10 seconds to perform a factory reset. After the reset, use the default username and password to log in again.

  9. To check and adjust the viewing angle, look at the camera's live feed from the software before permanently securing the camera in place.
