1 Check Contents
Make sure all of the items above are included in the camera kit.
2 Select a Location
Select a suitable location to mount the camera.
The focus for both of the camera's sensors is fixed at one meter (39.4"). If it will be
used in EST screening mode, make sure to install the camera so that the faces of
persons being screened for EST are 1m ± 0.2m (39.4" ± 7.9") away from the front
of the camera.
Verify that the operating temperature is 15°C to 45°C (60°F to 110°F), 0-95%
relative humidity. The camera provides optimal performance in a stable
environment near 22°C (72°F).
For further advice on positioning and orienting the camera, see the camera's
installation and user guide.
3 Configure the Camera
FLIR recommends configuring the camera on a bench or in a lab before mounting
and aiming it. However, it is also possible to configure the camera after mounting
it, which could be more appropriate for certain installations.
3.1 Install the FLIR DNA tool
To discover the camera on the network, FLIR recommends using the FLIR
Discovery Network Assistant (DNA) tool. Version 2.3.0.19 or higher supports Elara

3.3 Configure for Networking
You can configure the camera for networking using the DNA tool, the camera's
web page, or a supported VMS.
DNA tool
Camera's web page
Discover camera IP address
•
Configure IP address, mask, and gateway
•
•
Configure DNS settings, MTU, and Ethernet speed
•
Change user credentials
•
•
Configure more than one camera at the same time
•
For information about using the supported VMS to configure the camera, see the
VMS documentation.
By default, DHCP is enabled on the camera and a DHCP server on the network
assigns the camera an IP address. For example, if the camera is managed by
FLIR's Horizon or Meridian VMS and the VMS is configured as a DHCP server, the
VMS automatically assigns the camera an IP address.

If the camera is managed by FLIR’s Latitude VMS or is on a network with static IP
addressing, you can manually specify the camera’s IP address using the DNA tool
or the camera's web page. The camera's default IP address is 192.168.0.250.
To manually specify the camera's IP address using the DNA tool:

The Discover List
appears, showing
compatible
devices on the
LAN segment and
their current IP
addresses.
In the DNA Discover List, verify that the camera's status is Online.
If this is the first time you are configuring the camera or if it is the first time after
resetting the camera to its factory defaults, DNA automatically authenticates
the camera with the default password for the camera's admin user (admin).
If the admin user password has been
changed, you need to authenticate the
camera.
In the DNA Discover List, right-click the
camera and select Login.
In the DNA - Login window, type the
password for the admin user. If you do
not know the admin user password,
