Performance and troubleshooting
Power consumption issues
The power consumption of cameras is caused by such as the image sensor and
enabled features. The total power for the host system also includes the USB cable
loss. Unfavorable setups can prevent your system from working. What can you do?
Ensure sufficient power supply
Your host system must provide sufficient voltage and current at the USB
downstream connector on the host system for proper camera operation. If this is
not the case, we recommend you to power cameras by an external power supply,
on page 199 for details).
Reduce the power consumption
This applies
only if cameras are powered via USB
. When Alvium USB cameras
begin to exceed the maximum current allowed by the USB 3.0 standard, cameras
are automatically shut down.
Some features increase the power consumption:
• ConvolutionMode
• SensorBitDepth
Try not to use these features at the same time to reduce the power consumption.
