and power over Ethernet (in case the M8 connector is not used for power supply). Both are 

receptacles for relatively large external cable connectors. 

 

When connecting the camera with external cable connectors (either M8 or M12), the corresponding 
camera connector nut should be held with an appropriate wrench. In case the nut is not held by a 

wrench, the respective connector could be turned together with cable, when force is applied. This 

should be prevented as it could cause damage to the internal camera wiring. At the time of camera 

delivery, the M8 connector will be covered with a protective plastic cap. This cap should stay on in 

the case that the camera is used with a power over Ethernet (PoE) supply, and protect the unused 

connector against impurities and moisture, keeping it ready for future use. 

 

 

Recommendation: When attaching M8 and M12 cables to camera, connectors 

should be fixed with a tool (wrench/key) so that the connectors do not rotate 

under force. 

 

5.3

 

Cleaning Procedures 

Depending on the operating environment, the camera needs to be cleaned from time to time. For 

cleaning the camera housing, it is recommended to use a soft camera cleaning brush or a soft 

cleaning cloth. 

 

Using an eyeglass cleaning cloth is recommended for cleaning the camera glass window. Although 

the hardness of used glass is grade 6H, special attention is required when cleaning the window to 

prevent long term decreasing of optical properties. Using inadequate cleaning materials can cause 

micro scratches of the camera window. 

Ethyl alcohol can be used for light wiping of the entire camera housing. Using strong solvents is not 

recommended and can lead to aesthetic or functional damage of the camera.
