Compliance, safety, and intended use
For your safety and to improve camera performance, operate the camera:
• Mounted to a base with a high thermal conductivity
• With lens or other optical components mounted
• With a heat sink mounted that has large surface areas (closed housing cameras
include a heat sink)
• Using conductive media for camera and heat sink mounting
• With active cooling of camera, mounting base, and heat sink, such as by
ventilation.
• Reduce high ambient temperature. For example, in outdoor applications with
direct sunlight, provide shading by an enclosure.
