The internal NiMh battery has a capacity of 2.2 Ah and is charged automatically within three to four hours if an external power supply is available. If the camera is operating and external power is applied, the battery will be charged. power LED camera status page 12 of 54 MIKROTRON GmbH...
Instead, contact our service team and ask for a RMA number info@mikrotron.de and send the camera back to MIKROTRON. Damages caused by battery change are not covered by warranty. Although each camera comes with a power supply, the power connector pinning of the 5-pin Lemosa might be helpful e.g.
If a CAMMC134x camera is in standby mode, the Status LED will be OFF and the Power LED will be flashing. Remark: A camera in standby mode has to be connected with the power supply before waking it up. page 14 of 54 MIKROTRON GmbH...
