2 General Location Considerations Setting Up the GigE Camera General Location Considerations You can place the Visionscape GigE cameras in most environments without any concern for special enclosures or cabinets. Consider the following when locating the cameras and their associated components: • Ensure that the camera, strobe, and any other cables are long enough to reach your PC. • The Ethernet cable can be affected by interference from an electrical transformer or heavy machinery. In these circumstances make sure the cable is properly shielded. • Avoid severe vibrations. • Locate the components to avoid accidental bumping.
• Protect your PC and components against dust, humidity, extreme temperatures, and extremely harsh environments. • Protect the viewing area from excess ambient light. Getting Started with Visionscape GigE Cameras 2-17
