4 ART Tracking Cameras
Only use screws supplied with the ceiling mount for mounting it. The
screws used for sealing the housings are not sufficiently long for fixing
the carrier. Also, use all the parts supplied with the ceiling mount -
especially the toothed washer is quite important.
Never unfasten other screws on the cameras (see chapter 1.2 on page
14). Otherwise, the camera might be damaged and liability and war-
ranty is void.
Please keep the distance between the cameras in a range of 1 to 2 metres. Depending
on the lens and the focal length it may be possible to achieve other range values. Please
contact ART for more information.
Make sure to install the system in a way that you can easily access the cameras and
its cables. Be especially careful to mount the cameras firmly so they cannot fall down.
Unsecured cameras may pose a serious hazard to health and safety.
Shock and vibration can permanently destroy the internal calibration
of the cameras. De-calibrated cameras have to be recalibrated in the
ART labs.
Figure 4.3 on page 31 shows the correct mounting for a camera to a wall with a carrier
using the example of an ARTTRACK2 camera. Make sure to not fall below minimal
distance to the wall so enough room is left for the cables and to allow readjustment of
the camera angles and maintenance. For easy adjustment, it is highly recommended to
mount the ceiling mount in a way that the threaded bolt is vertical. This way heading and
elevation of the camera view can be adjusted individually.
Use strong dowels and screws for mounting the cameras to walls or ceilings (see figure
4.3 on page 31).
If in doubt, ask a skilled craftsman for assistance. Use massive and long enough angle
irons to provide the required stiffness and stability.
To avoid measurement problems, no light sources or highly reflecting areas should be
visible to the camera. Especially strong point light sources like e.g. halogen lamps and
direct or reflected sunlight may imply problems for the measurement (fluorescent lamps
are ok).
Please install the cables such that
• no one can stumble over the cords,
• the cords cannot be damaged,
• the cords cannot damage the cameras due to mechanical strain,
• the line of sight of the cameras is not obstructed.
Inappropriate cabling may pose a serious hazard to health and safety.
Cable ducts or fixings should be used and a strain relief should be
installed!
