D15D Camera Manual: Mounting
2.2.4 Wiring, Fire Prevention, Lightning And Surge Protection
When installing the wiring inside or outside of buildings, make sure you always adhere
to the relevant regulations on wiring, fire prevention, and protection against lightning.
A range of measures are used to protect MOBOTIX cameras against the effects of small
electrical surges. These measures, however, cannot prevent the camera from being dam-
aged when stronger electrical surges occur. Particular care should be taken when installing
the camera outside to ensure proper protection against lightning, as this also protects
the building and the entire network infrastructure.
MOBOTIX recommends having its cameras installed only by certified specialists who are
used to installing and operating network devices safely and who are familiar with the
applicable regulations regarding lightning and fire prevention as well as the current tech-
nology for preventing damage from electrical surges.
Wiring
When installing the wiring, make sure to follow these guidelines:
• Data cable: Make sure you only use double-shielded Cat 5
or higher cables (S/STP) for Ethernet connections.
• Outdoors: Installing the camera outdoors requires special
precautions and measures regarding the cables as well as
lightning and surge protection.
• Wire lengths: The cable segments must not exceed the
maximum allowed cable lengths in order to ensure proper
data transfer.
• Avoiding induction: When running data cables parallel to existing regular power
lines or high-voltage wires, make sure you observe the minimum distances to the
power cables.
Fire Prevention
When installing the power lines to the camera, make sure you always adhere to the
country-specific regulations (for example, VDE in Germany, IEEE in the U.S.) in effect on
wiring and fire prevention at the site of the installation.
