Safety Precautions
1
• Camera is not weatherproof. Use the appropriate outdoor accessory if using the cam-
era outdoors or where it will be exposed to moisture.
• Make sure that outdoor power outlets and cable connections are properly sheltered
from the elements.
• Do not use the camera below 32°F / 0°C or above 104°F / 40°C.
• Only use the camera with approved FLIR accessories.
• Do not use or install the camera near a radiator or heat source.
• Do not cover the camera with a towel or blanket.
• Do not point the camera directly towards the sun or a source of intense light.
• Aiming the camera through a window will cause the nighttime LEDs to reflect off of the
glass, causing a bright spot in the image.
• Keep the cables at least 3ft / 1m away from baby cribs and out of reach of children and
infants.
• Use the included cable clips to help keep cables away from children.
• Do not disassemble the product. No user serviceable parts inside.
• Do not disassemble or do a modification to the battery. The battery contains safety and
protection devices which, if damage occurs, may cause the battery to become hot, or
cause an explosion or an ignition.
• If you are not using the product for a prolonged time, charge the battery every 6 months
to keep the battery in working condition.
• Dispose or recycle the product and batteries in accordance with local laws, which may
vary by location.
• If using an accessory with replaceable batteries, only use replacement batteries speci-
fied by FLIR. Use of other types of batteries may damage the product.
• The camera makes a clicking noise when changing between day and night modes. This
clicking is normal and indicates that the camera filter is working.
• Do not connect more than one USB cable to the product at once.

connect the camera directly to the computer using the included microUSB cable. If your
computer has an SD or microSD card reader, you can use it to view the recordings.
Note
This section covers local recordings saved to the camera’s microSD card only. If you have a subscription
plan and have recordings saved in the cloud, you will need to use the FLIR FX app to view those
recordings.
To view video recordings from the camera microSD card on a computer running
Windows:
1. Connect a microUSB cable to the camera and connect the large end to a USB port on
your computer. This puts the camera into USB storage mode.
Note
When the camera is in USB storage mode, you cannot connect to the camera using the apps on a
smartphone or tablet. You must disconnect the camera from the computer in order to allow
connectivity.
2. An AutoPlay window appears. Click Open folder to view files.
Note
If AutoPlay does not appear, click on My Computer and browse to the SD card. If the SD card does
not appear, disconnect and reconnect the USB cable to the computer.
