Fire Prevention
When installing the power lines to the camera, make sure you always adhere to
the relevant regulations on wiring and fire prevention at the site of the installation.
Lightning and Surge Protection
To prevent damage from lightning and power surges, make sure you follow these
guidelines:
•Lightning conductors: In areas exposed to lightning (e.g. on roofs), a dis-
tance holder (1m (3ft) above and away from the camera) and proper light-
ning conductors need to be installed in order to prevent lightning strikes into
the camera and to ensure that the energy of a lightning strike is properly led
to the ground.
•Surge protection: Make sure you have installed proper protection against
electrical surges in order to prevent damage to the camera, the building and
the network infrastructure. This includes surge protectors for 19" racks, add-
ing an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) to the MOBOTIX camera, and in-
stalling surge arresters or similar for routers, switches, servers, etc.
1.3.5 Maximum Cable Lengths
According to UL regulations, the length of the cable to a MOBOTIX camera must
be limited to 140feet or less running outside of buildings. The installation must
comply with articles 725 and 800 of the National Electric Code.
1.3.6 Charging the Rechargeable Battery (CamIO-ACplus)
The CamIO-ACPlus model features a rechargeable battery, which provides
backup power supply even during power failures (approx. 45 minutes at 20°C/
68°F, 20 minutes at -20°C/-4°F). Please note that the full capacity of the recharge-
able battery is only available after the CamIO has been attached to mains power
for at least 48 hours.
1.3.7 Weatherproofness, Temperature Range
The housing of the MOBOTIX CamIO is weatherproof (IP65, absolutely dustproof,
resistant against water jets) and can be used at temperatures from -30 to +60°C
(-22 to +140°F).
1.3.8 Cleaning Instructions
The housing of the MOBOTIX CamIO and the wall mount foot are made of fiber-re-
inforced PBT-30GF. This material is robust, maintenance-free and can be cleaned
using a mild household detergent without solvents or abrasive particles.
