Download either FLIR GEV Demo or FLIR IR Camera Player from the download page and install them according to their instructions.
Open FLIR IP Config, where you’ll see your camera with an IP address that is not the desired one (Figure 1).

Figure 1: FLIR IP Config

Now open either FLIR GEV Demo or FLIR IR Camera Player and connect to your camera. This guide uses FLIR GEV Demo. Choose Select/Connect and select your device (Figure 2). If FLIR IR Camera Player is used, carry out the corresponding procedure.

Under Parameters and Control, select GEV Device Control. The corresponding action in FLIR IR Camera Player is to select Options – GenICam Browser. This will open the GenICam register (Figure 3).

Go down to TransportLayerControl and set GEVCurrentIPConfigurationLLA to True (you should not be able to set this as False), GevCurrentIPConfigurationDHCP to False, and GevCurrentIPConfigurationPersistentIP to True. Further down, set GevPersistentIPAddress to your desired static IP address, and do the same to GevPersistentSubnetMask and GevPersistentDefaultGateway (Figure 4). These are the values you set earlier in FLIR IP Config.

Figure 4: Set the persistent IP settings

Turn off the camera, wait a couple of seconds and turn it on again. In Figure 5, it can be seen that the new static IP address is displayed for the camera. On right-clicking and selecting Modify, it can also be seen that the selected subnet and gateway are also the ones set in the GenICam register. To verify their persistence, open FLIR GEV Demo or FLIR IR Camera Player and access the GenICam register. Go down to TransportLayerControl: the set IP address, subnet, and gateway should be those selected. Furthermore, the configuration should now show a persistent IP address (Figure 6).
