General Location Considerations
You can place the Visionscape
®
GigE cameras in most environments
without any concern for special enclosures or cabinets. Consider the
following when locating the cameras and their associated components:
•
Ensure that the camera, strobe, and any other cables are long
enough to reach your PC.
•
The Ethernet cable can be affected by interference from an electrical
transformer or heavy machinery. In these circumstances make sure
the cable is properly shielded.
•
Avoid severe vibrations.
•
Locate the components to avoid accidental bumping.
•
Protect your PC and components against dust, humidity, extreme
temperatures, and extremely harsh environments.
•
Protect the viewing area from excess ambient light.
