Cleaning optics Caution Allied Vision does not warranty against any physical damage to the sensor/filter/protection glass or lenses. Use utmost care when cleaning optical components.
Otherwise, the debris is on the IR filter (if used) or sensor glass. Color cameras with IR filter Prosilica GS 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 GS Technical Manual V2.2.2...
