Otherwise, the debris is on the IR filter (if used) or sensor glass. Color cameras with IR filter Prosilica GE color cameras are equipped with an IR filter. With no lens or lens cap on a camera, the IR filter is exposed and debris can accumulate on it. This is the most probable location for debris.
Prolonged exposure of alcohol on the swab can cause the swab glue to loosen and transfer to the optic glass. Do not reuse the same swab. Repeat this process until the debris is removed. If this process fails to remove the debris, contact Allied Vision. Prosilica GE Technical Manual V2.2.1...

Firmware update Firmware updates are carried out via the GigE connection. Allied Vision provides an application for all Prosilica GE cameras that loads firmware to the camera using a simple interface. New feature introductions and product improvements motivate new firmware releases. All users are encouraged to use the newest firmware available and complete the firmware update if necessary.
• The camera frame rate can also be increased by increasing the camera's BinningY attribute, resulting in a vertically scaled image (less overall height with same field of view). • There is no frame rate increase with reduced width. Prosilica GE Technical Manual V2.2.1...
