2.4 

Environmental Considerations 

To maximize the fire detection potential of the Fike Video Analytics system, the camera lenses should be properly set 
up to ensure sharp images. Using a portable TV with the BNC connection attached to the back of the IP camera will 
allow  localized  adjustment  to  optimize  the  image  focus.    Lenses  should  be  clean  and  free  of  scratches.    Camera 
positioning should consider light saturation and consistency, mounting integrity, humidity, airborne particulates, and 
other potentially damaging ambient conditions. Bright light sources should be located behind the cameras.   

The  area  to  be  protected  should  be  uniformly  illuminated;  fluctuations  caused  by  natural  light  should  be  limited.  
Cameras should be securely mounted to prevent vibration, swinging, and other camera motion.  Excess humidity may 
cause fogging of the lenses that may trigger the system.   

Make  provision  to  sustain  camera  lens  clarity  in  applications  where  airborne  particulates  and  aerosols  may  coat  the 
camera lens between maintenance intervals and affect sensitivity.  Cameras should be protected either by design or 
installation to ensure that performance is not compromised.  When used in conditions that will expose the camera to 
extreme conditions, the cameras should be shielded or otherwise arranged to maintain performance when exposed to 
those extreme conditions.  The cameras should not be installed in a location where ambient conditions are known to 
exceed  the  extremes  for  which  they  have been  listed  (see  specifications  Appendix  A).    Nuisance  sources  include but 
may not be limited to welding, modulated light sources, and localized fluctuations in lighting.  The area to be protected 
should be uniformly lit at the UL minimum of 1 foot‐candle (10 lux) measured at the floor level for the hazard area or 
the  FM  approved  4.8  Fc  (~48  lux)  at  30  inches  (76  cm)  above  the  floor  surface.    General  lighting  shall  meet  the 
minimum emergency lighting requirements of NFPA 101 (1 Fc (10 Lux)) and shall not produce a low light camera fault. 

2.5 

Selecting Cable 

There are several classifications of cable used for twisted‐pair networks.  We recommend Category 5 (or CAT 5) cable 
for all new installations.  There are several fire code classifications for the outer insulation of CAT 5 cable.  CMR cable, 
or "riser cable," is the most common, however, CMP or plenum cable is also available and may be required by local, 
state or national codes if it will be running through suspended ceilings, ducts, or other areas, that are used to circulate 
air  or  act  as  an  air  passage  from  one  room  to  another.    Stranded  wire  patch  cables  are  often  specified  for  cable 
segments running from a wall jack to a PC and for patch panels.  They are more flexible than solid core wire. 

CAT 5 cable has four twisted pairs of wire for a total of eight individually insulated wires.  Each pair is color coded with 
one wire having a solid color (blue, orange, green, or brown) twisted around a second wire with a white background 
and a stripe of the same color.  The solid colors may have a white stripe in some cables.  Cable colors are commonly 
described  using  the  background  color  followed  by  the  color  of  the  stripe;  e.g.,  white‐orange  is  a  cable  with  a  white 
background and an orange stripe. 

The  straight  through  and  cross‐over  patch  cables  are  terminated  with  CAT  5,  RJ‐45  modular  plugs.    RJ‐45  plugs  are 
similar to those you'll see on the end of your telephone cable except they have eight versus four or six contacts on the 
end of the plug and they are about twice as big.  Make sure they are rated for CAT 5 wiring.  (RJ means "Registered 
Jack").  Also, there are RJ‐45 plugs designed for both solid core wire and stranded wire.  Others are designed specifically 
for one kind of wire or the other.  Be sure you buy plugs appropriate for the wire you are going to use.
