Mounting
Using the Case
The case is equipped with 8 M2 x 0.4 mounting holes on the top, bottom, left side, and right side.

Case Temperature and Heat Dissipation
You must provide sufficient heat dissipation to control the internal operating temperature of the camera.
The camera is equipped with an on-board temperature sensor. It allows you to obtain the temperature of the camera
board-level components. The sensor measures the ambient temperature within the case.
As a result of packing the camera electronics into a small space, the camera can become hot to the touch
when running. This is expected behavior and will not damage the camera electronics.
To reduce heat, use a cooling fan to set up a positive air flow around the camera, taking into consideration the following
precautions:
Mount the camera on a heat sink, such as a camera mounting bracket, made out of a heat-conductive material
n
like aluminum.
Make sure the flow of heat from the camera to the bracket is not blocked by a non-conductive material like
n
plastic.
Make sure the camera has enough open space around it to facilitate the free flow of air.
