3 Key Features

3.1 Display Sequence

Display Sequence allows the user to rearrange the order of the scenes displayed when the camera is in 360 mode. This is useful if the user prefers to display the scenes in a unique order or is limited on how to position the camera when mounting and would like the scenes to display in a specific order.

Figure 1 - Display Sequence

On the bottom right, select which camera scene you would like to display in which square (use reference of sequence at the bottom of the webpage).

3.2 270 Mode

270 Mode allows the user to disable one of the lenses of the camera in 360 mode. This may be useful in installations at the corner of buildings or similar scenes.

Figure 2 – 270 Mode

Key Features


3.3 Fifth Imager

The Fifth Imager lens (FLIR-CM-IMG5-63P) is an add-on accessory for the CM-6308-P1-I. It allows for a fifth lens to be easily attached to the center of the camera to allow for additional coverage.

Note: The camera has to be re-discovered on UVMS after attaching the accessory.

See CM_IMG5_63P_QIG for more information.

Figure 3 - 5th Imager

3.4 Improved ONVIF Support

ONVIF support continues to get tighter and more advanced. The camera is gearing up with support for ONVIF Profile G with FLIR UVMS not far behind. This will allow for full integration between FLIR cameras an VMS for a true SoE integration.

3.5 Firmware Verification

The 2019 release firmware file now includes an encrypted checksum identifier. By using the checksum validation software of your choice, you can submit the SHA-256 hash information to FLIR Enterprise Support for confirmation as to the validity of the file.

3.6 Enhanced Power Protection

The camera is supported on a PoE+ or 24VAC power sources only. If the camera is connected to an incorrect power source, the camera would power up with limited features (MJPEG dark video displayed at 1 fps, SD card, IR LEDs, Heater, and USB port all disabled) and display a message to the user that the power level is inadequate.

Figure 4 – Limited Features Mode

Table of Contents

vi CM-6308-P1-I FW v.20190226 Release Notes April 2, 2019

By default, the camera is set to auto detect the connected power source’s power level. If the camera detects insufficient levels and the power source does not support enhanced network negotiations (LLDP), the camera may reboot up to 5 times in 20 minutes and enter a limited features state, as above.

The user has an option on the Basic Configuration page to manually set the camera on PoE+. This may be useful in cases where the camera is connected to a valid power source, such as UPoE, but initializes on the limited features mode. This is because the camera is only looking for PoE+ or 24VAC power sources, so it needs to be manually set on ‘PoE+’.

Note that if the camera changes its power level, for example, by turning on IR LEDs or heater, it would consume additional power, and if that power is not available, it may change its power state to the limited features state or reboot several times, as described above.

Firmware Upgrade Procedure


4 Firmware Upgrade Procedure

Note:

It is recommended to:

1. Clear the browser’s cache 2. Remove the existing Ariel player before accessing the camera. 3. On the first time that the camera is upgraded with the new firmware, it will backup its

stitching table. This process would take 15-20 minutes, during which the camera would be accessible but not usable. Do not reboot the camera during this process.

The camera’s firmware can be updated by using the Discovery Network Assistant (DNA) tool or over the web from the unit’s web interface. It is recommended to use DNA firmware version 2.2.1.9 or higher to upgrade from a previous firmware version.

Note:

The firmware for the FPGA can only be upgraded from the web UI. if a CM-IMG5-63P is to be used, do not physically install it until indicated as part of the firmware upgrade steps below.

It’s highly recommended not to downgrade any of the camera’s firmware.

4.1 Order of Upgrade

4.1.1 Multi-imager unit is currently on firmware 20171218

1. Upgrade the camera firmware via the web UI or DNA using file CM-6308-P1-I_20190226.bin.

2. If a CM-IMG5-63P is going to be used, set the camera in 360 mode (by adjusting it physically)

and attach the accessory.

3. Upgrade the FPGA from the web UI using the file flirpano_a7_29171533_cs.bit.

4.1.2 Multi-imager unit is currently on firmware 2018xxxx (beta)

1. If a CM-IMG5-63P is going to be used, set the camera in 360 mode (by adjusting it physically) and attach the accessory.



4.1.3 Multi-imager unit is currently on firmware 20190226 and installing a CM-IMG5-63P

1. If a CM-IMG5-63P is going to be used, set the camera in 360 mode (by adjusting it physically) and attach the accessory.
