3.6.1 Quick start guide
You can power the camera by using either the Power-I/O connector (18–56 V
DC) or the Ethernet/Power over Ethernet (PoE) connector (36–56 V DC) of the
camera. See Figure 2.1 View from the rear, FLIR A400/A700, page 2.
1. On the computer to be used for managing the camera, download FLIR IP
Config from http://support.flir.com, and then install it.
2. Connect the camera to power and network. Do one of the following;
a. Connect the power cable between the camera and a power source.
Connect the network cable between the camera, and then either directly
to the computer or to an Ethernet switch on the same network as the
computer,
b. Connect the PoE cable to the camera, and then to a PoE switch on the
same network as the computer.
3. The camera is set to use DHCP. On the computer, use FLIR IP Config to
identify the camera on the network and change IP settings, if necessary.
4. On the computer, do one of the following:
a. Double-click on the camera in FLIR IP Config.
b. Type the IP address of your camera into the address bar of a web
browser.
This displays the login view.
5. Log in using the provided username and password. This displays the web in-
terface of the camera.
6. Use the web interface to configure the camera. For the Smart Sensor cam-
eras, use the web interface to also add measurements and set alarms.

3.7 FLIR A400f/A700f
When delivered, the camera is already mounted into an environmental housing.
The housing with camera requires PoE class 4 (25 W) to operate as intended.
Connect the unit to power and network:
1. Connect a Power over Ethernet cable (PoE class 4, 25 W) to the connector
gland on the bottom of the housing device. Use the strain-relief clamp that is
delivered with the camera.
2. Connect the other end of the PoE cable to a PoE switch.
3. Follow the steps in section 3.6.1 Quick start guide, starting at step number 3.
3.8 FLIR A400pt/A700pt
When delivered, the camera is already mounted into a pan & tilt (P/T). Master se-
lection mode is set to Camera Master which means that the camera controls the
P/T.
Connect the unit to power and network:
1. Unscrew the two bolts in the hatch of the base unit by using a 4 mm hex key.

2. Pull a network cable and a power cable through either the parapet bracket or
the wall mount bracket.
3. Pull both cables through the cable glands in the P/T base unit. Make sure
that the cable glands are closed tightly.
4. Connect the network cable to the RJ45 port and the power cable to the
power port. Make sure to connect the AC power cable correctly. After the
cables are connected, close the hatch and then tighten the bolts.
5. Connect the network cable to a computer or an Ethernet switch, and connect
the power cable to a power source.
6. Follow the steps in section 3.6.1 Quick start guide, starting at step number 3.
7. In the web interface and on the tab Move camera, use the arrow buttons to
control the P/T device.
