Enabling Corridor Mode for Supported FLIR IP Cameras Document Version v1.0 Date Modified March 8, 2017 Technical Support 1-866-816-5919 Customer Service 1-866-344-4674 Website www.flir.com/security/pro The new generation of FLIR IP cameras support a feature called Corridor Mode. When viewing narrow scenes, such as staircases or hallways, Corridor Mode optimizes the monitoring area by eliminating irrelevant areas of the image (e.g., walls in a hallway) while providing more effective coverage of the area of interest. Typically, HD videos are recorded with an aspect ratio of 16:9 (horizontal format). When Corridor Mode is enabled, HD videos are recorded with an aspect ratio of 9:16 (vertical format). 16:9 Ratio (Standard Mode) NOTES: • Corridor Mode is supported only by certain FLIR IP cameras. Check your camera’s datasheet to determine if your camera is supported. • It is recommended to enable Corridor Mode when viewing portrait-oriented scenes via eyeball / vandal dome cameras only. It is not recommended to use Corridor Mode with bullet cameras due to the position of the sunshield. 9:16 Ratio (Corridor Mode) You can configure Corridor Mode using the camera’s web interface or a compatible NVR: • Click here for web interface instructions. • Click here for FLIR NVR instructions.
