3.6.3 Temperature Measurement
The temperature of the camera can be determined by using the
vt
command. This
command will return the internal chip case temperature in degrees Celsius. For proper
operation, this value should not exceed 75°C.
Note:
If the camera reaches 75°C, the camera will shutdown and the LED will flash red. If
this occurs, the camera must be rebooted using the command,
rc
or can be powered
down manually. You will not be able to restart the camera until the temperature is less
than 65°C. You will have to correct the temperature problem or the camera will shutdown
again. The camera allows you to send the
vt
(verify temperature) command while it is in
this state.
3.6.4 Voltage Measurement
The command
vv
displays the camera’s input voltage. Note that the voltage
measurement feature of the camera provides only approximate results (typically within
10%). The measurement should not be used to set the applied voltage to the camera but
only used as a test to isolate gross problems with the supply voltage.
