GET YOUR CONNECT CAMERA UP AND RUNNING
Already have a FLIR camera with Ignite Prism Connect pre-installed?
Once you have the camera powered up and on a network, you just need to authenticate and configure your camera with Ignite Prism.
IMPORTANT! BEFORE YOU START:
Prior to authenticating Ignite Prism Connect, make sure:
-
The camera is plugged into the local network using PoE switch/injector.
-
The PoE switch/injector should be powered on and plugged into a local
router/switch.
-
The local network on which the camera resides must be able to
communicate out to the Internet and connect to the Ignite Prism cloud service
(iapi.prismsl.net) over ports 80 and 443.
-
Micro SD card is installed.
-
The camera is set to proper date, time and time zone.
-
The camera is updated to the most recent firmware version.
-
The most recent version of Ignite Prism Connect should be installed.
Step 1: Get Ignite Prism’s Installation Token
Are you a new customer, an integrator, or just not sure if you have an Ignite Prism account? If so, just email support@igniteprism.com to set up your account or recover your user info. When your account is created, you will also receive an installation token.
If you already have an Ignite Prism customer account, just contact your Ignite Prism Account Manager or support@igniteprism.com to get your installation token.
If you are Ignite Prism reseller partner, follow these steps to get your token:
-
Sign into partner.igniteprism.com

On the Managed Accounts page, click “Generate” on the line for the customer account for which you are installing the camera.

Step 2: Insert SD card
Skip this step if the SD card is already installed.
S2 (3MP) camera: remove camera dome and insert micro SD card into SD card slot. The recommended minimum size of the SD card is 32GB or more.
S2L (4MP) camera: insert micro SD card into SD card slot. No need to remove any parts of the camera. Minimum 32GB SD card or more is also recommended.
Step 3: Make a note of the camera’s MAC address marked on the camera.
You might need it later, as knowing the camera’s MAC address makes it easier to locate the camera on the network.
Step 4: Mount camera
To the ceiling or wall and connect it to the network and power.
Step 5: Locate the camera on the network.
Download one of these tools to locate cameras connected to the network by using their MAC addresses: Advanced IP Scanner for Windows, LanScan for Mac OS X, or any other 3rd- party network scanner.
Step 6: Connect to the camera via web browser.
The default credentials for all cameras is: root/admin.
Step 7: Verify and update the camera’s firmware.
Currently, the latest version for S2 camera is 3.0.1227 and 2.3.0223 for S2L
If the camera has an outdated firmware version, make sure to update it.
