Overview
Patented ClearSightTM technology actively and automatically clears the field of view of the
camera without any regular maintenance. The technology is effective against oil, grease, mud,
and various other industrial contaminants. ClearSightTM enables cameras to self-clean — in
most cases, for several years — eliminating the need for access and regular maintenance.
The ToughEye-1700TM camera is equipped with ClearSightTM technology. The system requires
nothing more than conventional electrical connections; its rugged, self-contained design
eliminates the need for fluid tanks, hoses, compressors, and pumps.

Mounting Accessories
The following accessories are available for mounting the ToughEye-1700™.
ToughEye-1700™ Standard Bracket
The ToughEye-1700™ Standard Bracket is included as it is the default bracket in most
ToughEye-1700™ installations.
The bracket should first be mounted to a suitable horizontal support with sufficient strength. The
camera ships with high strength, 3/8”-16, 1.25” long bolts, suitable for mounting to plates up to
0.625” thick. If mounted to a thicker support, suitable Grade 8 bolts should be sourced. The
standard bolt and nylon insert lock-nut can be installed using 9/16” wrenches or sockets.
15
Mounting pattern and bolt details
If the camera is mounted to a vertical surface a horizontal bracket [MB-TE-WB] can first be
welded to the vertical surface, in order to provide a suitable mounting point.
With the bracket mounted the camera can be installed. Start by placing the camera within the
bracket and loosely attaching it at all 4 mounting points. Be sure to use the included split lock
washers:
Camera bolt installation ordering
Rotate the camera to the desired orientation. Note that the standard bracket accommodates
mounting angles from 0° (horizontal) to down by 80°. With the camera at the desired orientation,
tighten the bolts using a 7/16” wrench or socket. Bolts should be tightened to 8.5 Nm [6.3ft-lb].

System Installation
Configuration Selection
IP Camera Configurations
The ToughEye-1700™ supports network and analog video streams. Selection of the appropriate
stream is an important consideration.
The network stream provides simpler connections, higher resolution video, and accessibility to
the stream from any device connected to the same network. We recommend using the
network stream in the following scenarios:
1. The stream must be viewed remotely | See Network Configuration A-1
2. The stream must be viewed on the equipment and an on-equipment display exists which
is powered by a computer (ie. Panel PC or Dispatch system) | See Network
Configuration A-1
It is important to note that IP video has inherent latency due to video compression. The
ToughEye-1700™ latency is tested at approximately 150ms , so only in applications where this
4
latency can be tolerated is the network stream recommended.
Network Configuration A-1
This configuration allows any shielded Cat-5e cable to be used to power and communicate with
the ToughEye-1700™ camera. No custom cabling is required to be routed, as the shielded
Cat-5e cable plugs into either the custom short adapter cable or the open end of the main cable
for plug and play functionality. See below for connection diagrams.
4Latency tested by directly plugging a short Cat-5e cable to a laptop and streaming 1080p H.264 video
onto the IP Cam Viewer 4 software at 30fps. Note that depending on the network environment, bit rate,
server specification, and viewing software, the measured latency may differ from this rating
18
Option 1
This option is the simplest configuration shown in the figure above and uses an endspan
IEEE802.3at (PoE+) compliant power sourcing equipment (PSE) to provide power to the
camera through the same shielded Cat-5e cable used for data transmission.
Option 2
This option is optimal for applications with existing network switches that are not IEEE802.3at
compliant. In this configuration, a midspan PoE+ injector can be used (see Accessories section
earlier in this document for ordering information) in-line between the switch and the camera as
shown above. The injector accepts a 12~24VDC or 110~260VAC input, depending on the
model, and supplies PoE+ power to the camera while also transmitting the data signals.
This configuration is designed to be simple to install and configure:
1. From an IEEE 802.3at compliant PoE+ PSE (power sourcing equipment) - either an
endspan switch or midspan injector - route a shielded Cat-5e or better cable to the
ToughEye-1700™. Ensure the routed cable is appropriately rated for your application
(temperature, ingress protection, ruggedness, etc).
2. Once the cable has been routed to within 1m of the camera, it can be plugged into the
waterproof Cat-5e adapter. For details on usage of the Cat-5e adapter please refer to
section Sealed In-line RJ45 Coupler.
3. The RJ45 Adapter Cable [AC17-RJ45] can now be plugged into the ToughEye-1700™
camera.
