3.6.1 Protecting the Camera Against Condensation
Due to its robust and carefully constructed design and the lack of mechanical moving parts,
the M26 has some outstanding weatherproof features and is resistant to moisture and dust.
Certied according to the IP66 standard, the camera is even resistant to water jets but is
not completely airtight. Installation environments that experience frequent changes in
temperature and humidity may cause condensation to occur and build up in the cavities
of the camera mount through which outside air ows.
Condensation is caused when the temperature of warm moist air, which can absorb less
water in a cooler state, falls below dew point. The condensation is the water that condenses
when it meets the cool surface of an object.
To prevent condensation from building up, MOBOTIX
recommends drilling a hole corresponding to the
size of the space in question in -only- the lower of the
two positions pictured here and breaking through the
outermost housing wall before mounting the camera.
Before drilling, separate the camera from its housing
by removing the two Allen lock screws in order to pre
-
vent damage occurring to the camera or the cabling.
Use 4 mm drill bit
Before drilling, remove the
camera from the housing
