HW setup and getting to know the software

Connecting power

The FLIR Bridge and FLIR Bridge Pro are delivered without a power supply which can be bought separately. To power the bridges; they either need the official FLIR power supplies or a 3rd party power supply fulfilling these requirements:

  • FLIR Bridge: 10-30 VDC

  • FLIR Bridge Pro: 19-24 VDC

If the FLIR power supplies are used, the white cable should be connected to plus (+) and the black cable to negative (-).

Getting to know the User interface

Once the correct power has been connected, the Bridge could be connected to a display together with a keyboard and mouse.

There should be no login needed, but if root privileges are needed, the following passwords are used at delivery:

  • FLIR Bridge: 111111

  • FLIR Bridge Pro: MIC-710ai

Once you are logged in to the Ubuntu desktop environment, the Bridge can be setup as any other Ubuntu desktop computer when it comes to Ethernet, WiFi and other software.

The Bridge have a special FLIR software running in the background which has the sole purpose of collecting data from FLIR cameras. To modify this software, open up a web browser, preferably the already installed Chromium browser. In the browser address bar, type “localhost” and press enter.

Now you are in the Bridge GUI which is the control center for adding FLIR cameras and connecting the data to 3rd party systems.
