Notes on ambient conditions
·
Avoid high air humidity levels and rapid temperature changes when using IDS cameras.
·
Temperatures below +4 °C (39 °F) combined with excessive relative air humidity levels can cause icing.
Provide sufficient heat dissipation so that the specified device temperature is not exceeded during operation.
In general, the following recommendations apply:
·
For a passive heat dissipation, mount the camera on a thermally-conductive surface like a metal plate or a
heat sink.
·
If necessary, provide an active cooling for example by means of a fan.
With increasing device temperatures, the image quality could be reduced due to thermal noise. It is
recommended to mount the camera to a heat-dissipating unit even if the camera is operated below the
maximum specified temperature.
Vibration and shock resistance
Vibration and shock resistance of the cameras were tested as specified in EN 60068-2-6 and EN 60068-2-27.

NOTICE!
The camera can be supplied with voltage both from an external source and via
Power-over-Ethernet (PoE). The camera should not be supplied through both voltage sources
at once as this can irreparably damage the camera.
Check the power supply to the camera. Connect the camera to to a Gigabit Ethernet port on the PC either
directly or using switches. Please read the following notes before setting up.
