Setup, pg. 42
Eastern or Western Exposure
Once installed, the camera may point directly east or west, and this may cause the sun to be in the
field of view during certain portions of the day. We do not recommend intentionally viewing the sun,
but looking at the sun will not permanently damage the sensor. In fact the thermal imaging camera
often provides a considerable advantage over a conventional camera in this type of back-lit situation.
However, the sun may introduce image artifacts that will eventually correct out and it may take some
time for the camera to recover. The amount of time needed for recovery will depend on how long the
camera was exposed to the sun. The longer the exposure, the longer the recovery time needed.
