ICI FM 640 P-Series - what is the best way to interface with this?

[Mobra Coses]

Hello enthusiasts!

This is my first post here!

I happened to grab one of these ICI FM 640 P-Series thermal cameras from an Amazon/business returns store in Canada for $10 (I know, right?).  It was just the camera box and did not have the black body, 19-pin breakout cable, or the software included.
Inside there was a Hikvision DS-2CD7027FWD-A 3MP camera with some sort of zoom control module on it, a TP Link TL-SF1005 industrial switch, and a thermal camera that did not seem to have any identifiable markings on it.

From seeing some information in the forums, it seems that I require the IR FLASH STM (Skin Temperature Measurement) software, and not the Pro software.  To my understanding, the 640 P-Series has some sort of integration with the STM software to auto-detect the cameras.
I am able to access both cameras via IP address and can stream the video in VLC, but found the thermal camera is barely picking up any heat measurements. The included picture shows a red mark on the thermal stream which is the inside of a heat gun I was holding; I was expecting something a bit more significant.  Is this a setting of sorts?  Something that is solved with the right software?  Or is the issue because I am not using a black body?

If anybody happens to have the STM software, or knows of any third party software I can use, it would be appreciated!

Hi, I was able to get the thermal seen with this software from Uniview, but I can't get it to recognize the DS-2CD7027FWD. Uniview had a similar product the tic600-s. I hope this helps. Google blocked the file. PM me if you are looking for the file.

Hi Garry2,

Thanks for replying and suggesting something.  Unfortunately, that link doesn't work but I would definitely be interested in using software that can interface with this. Thanks!

I had 2 of the same cameras. I will find the software and will share a link.

Thank you so much!  I'll try to set up both sets of software I now have if I get some free time on the weekend!  I have absolutely zero use for this other than playing around

I tried the Uniview software .. as noted, it does not ever recognize the Hikwandavision camera. Thermals are still very faint and do not pick up well.  Again, I do not have a black body.  I wonder if anyone here has tested the FM 640 without a black body to see if it is still able to pick up decent thermals, or is a black body required to see thermals properly on this system?

I also tried the STM software from ICI but it seems to be stuck at "Attempting to connect to the FMX Server" and never makes contact with the camera.  I even went as far as following this manual https://f.hubspotusercontent10.net/hubfs/20335613/ici-skin-temperature-monitor-software-manual.pdf and tried specific IP addresses noted in there in hopes the software is looking for a specific IP to no avail

I have a couple of those. I simply plugged it into my network and navigated to 192.168.1.102 to get the setup server. The video can be viewed at the same address using VLC.
