Product safety
To prevent material damage, read the following and understand how to safely
handle and operate the camera.
Embedded systems
Setup and operation of Alvium CSI-2 cameras in embedded systems is different
than for cameras in PC-based systems. Components can easily be damaged.
If you are unfamiliar with embedded systems, be extremely careful. Follow the
instructions in
Installing the hardware on page 62.
Supported embedded boards
We have tested that Alvium CSI-2 cameras can be operated properly with the
referenced embedded boards. For information on using these components safely,
please see the documentation provided by the manufacturers of the embedded
boards.
Electrical connections
The MIPI CSI-2 standard does not specify electrical connections as extensively as
USB or GigE standard. Read specifications carefully.
Allied Vision accessories help to avoid damage to the camera and connected
components. See the
Alvium Cameras Accessory Guide for suitable accessories.
See Specifications on page 24 and Installing the hardware on page 62.
Alvium CSI-2 cameras are not protected against damage caused by reverse polarity.
