FLIR Systems — 3 prefixes (MA-L)

A MAC address beginning 00:1B:D8 identifies FLIR Systems Inc, the thermal-imaging and infrared-camera company now operating as Teledyne FLIR, and typically appears on networked thermal or machine-vision cameras such as the FLIR A615 or AX8.

FLIR Systems was founded in 1978 in Wilsonville, Oregon, and became the market leader in infrared imaging cameras and sensors. Teledyne Technologies completed an approximately $8 billion acquisition of FLIR in July 2021; the combined unit now operates as Teledyne FLIR with 3,000+ employees, still selling thermal cameras, machine-vision cameras, and radiation-detection instruments under the FLIR brand.

Two further MA-L blocks belong to the same corporate family. 00:13:56 is registered to FLIR Radiation Inc at 100 Midland Rd, Oak Ridge, TN — the division behind FLIR's identiFINDER personal and backpack radiation detectors. 00:40:7F is registered to FLIR Systems at an incomplete Swedish address ("BOX 3, SE"), likely the former Agema Infrared Systems AB, the Swedish company FLIR acquired in 1998 that built the first commercial infrared scanner in 1965.

These OUIs correspond to real deployed hardware rather than paper registrations. FLIR's own support documentation describes a MAC-address-based discovery workflow — the "FLIR IP Config" utility enumerates networked cameras by MAC address to assign or reset IP settings — which confirms the blocks are burned into shipping network interfaces.

Networked FLIR thermal cameras carry a documented CVE history worth checking against current firmware: CVE-2017-20216 is a critical (CVSS 9.8) unauthenticated remote command-injection flaw in PT-Series firmware 8.0.0.64; CVE-2017-20214 and CVE-2017-20215 cover hardcoded SSH credentials and an authenticated root-level command injection on the same firmware family; and CVE-2023-51127 is a directory-traversal flaw in AX8 firmware up to 1.46.16, fixed in 1.49.16. No CVE was found specific to the identiFINDER radiation-detection line as of an August 2026 search.

A common mix-up: Flirtey Inc, a drone-delivery startup, holds an unrelated OUI-36 registration under the shared IEEE base 70:B3:D5 — a base sub-allocated to thousands of unrelated registrants, none of which include FLIR Systems. Flirtey should never be cited as evidence for, or merged with, this entry.

Analyst note

three independently-verified MA-L blocks across three real facilities indicate a substantive, multi-site company rather than a shell registration; the device class has a documented CVE history worth checking against current firmware [Confirmed] — nvd.nist.gov, flir.com
