determination of camera parameters. These changes have to be done at the
ART
labs.
Be aware that a tracking system is very sensitive to camera movements. Therefore the
cameras have to be mounted in a way that camera movements (especially vibrations) are
reduced as much as possible.

Mounting on tripods may be sufficient for presentations and prelimi-
nary installations, but is not recommended as a permanent solution!
If you want to mount the camera on a tripod just mount the carrier on the bottom of the
camera.
The carrier for the
ARTTRACK3 can be attached on both bottom and top side of the cam-
era. Attach the carrier with the T-piece pointing to the back of the camera in a similar way
to figure 4.2 on page 30. Note, the ceiling suspension is already connected to the carrier
in figure 4.2.
Only use screws supplied with the ceiling mount for mounting it. The
screws used for sealing the housings are not sufficiently long for fixing
the carrier. Also, use all the parts supplied with the ceiling mount -
especially the toothed washer is quite important.
Never unfasten other screws on the cameras (see chapter 1.2 on page
14). Otherwise, the camera might be damaged and liability and war-
ranty is void.
Feel free to contact ART in case you want to realise a more complex installation. We will
assist you in your planning.
It is recommended to install the power supply for the cameras in a way that enables the
switching of all cameras by one main switch. If this is done, the system can be easily
turned off and on without changing camera positions.
Make sure to install the system in a way that you can easily access the cameras and
its cables. Be especially careful to mount the cameras firmly so they cannot fall down.
Unsecured cameras may pose a serious hazard to health and safety.
Shock and vibration can permanently destroy the internal calibration
of the cameras. De-calibrated cameras have to be recalibrated in the
ART labs.
Figure 4.3 on page 31 shows the correct mounting for a camera to a wall with a carrier
using the example of an
ARTTRACK2 camera. Make sure to not fall below minimal
distance to the wall so enough room is left for the cables and to allow readjustment of
the camera angles and maintenance. For easy adjustment, it is highly recommended to
mount the ceiling mount in a way that the threaded bolt is vertical. This way heading and
elevation of the camera view can be adjusted individually.
Use strong dowels and screws for mounting the cameras to walls or ceilings (see figure
4.3 on page 31).
If in doubt, ask a skilled craftsman for assistance. Use massive and long enough angle
irons to provide the required stiffness and stability.
