Port 22136
FLIR Camera Protocol
The FLIR Systems Camera Resource Protocol is utilized primarily by FLIR network-enabled cameras to facilitate command, control, and data exchange. It enables remote configuration, firmware updates, and live video streaming capabilities, making it essential for surveillance, security applications, and industrial monitoring. Despite being a proprietary and unofficial protocol specification, it has gained traction across various FLIR hardware implementations..
Technical Details
The FLIR Systems Camera Resource Protocol operates over TCP port 22136, facilitating communication between client applications and FLIR thermal imaging or visible spectrum cameras. It handles a wide range of functions such as camera initialization, parameter adjustment (like focus, zoom, and palette), firmware upgrades, and retrieval of camera status information.
Typically, the protocol transmits command-and-control packets encoded in FLIR’s proprietary formats, with sessions often initiated by dedicated client software or integrations in larger security management platforms. Some implementations allow for live video feed access or snapshot retrieval over the same port, streamlining operations for remote monitoring and diagnostics.
Due to its proprietary nature and lack of comprehensive public documentation, reverse engineering efforts have partially uncovered protocol behaviors. Integration often relies on SDKs or firmware-provided clients, and the protocol is heavily tailored towards embedded systems and surveillance infrastructures.
