D14D Camera Manual: Mounting

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.
MOBOTIX cameras are protected against the effects of small electrical surges by numerous
measures. These measures, however, cannot prevent the camera from being damaged
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 MOBOTIX cameras installed only by certified specialists
accustomed to installing network devices and having proper respect for the applicable
regulations regarding lightning protection and fire prevention as well as the current technology
for preventing damages 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.
