Check Camera and Sensor Information 
Camera and sensor information can be retrieved via a controlling application—in the examples shown here, 
CamExpert. Parameters such as camera model, firmware version, sensor characteristics, etc. are read to uniquely 
identify the connected device. 
The camera information parameters are grouped together as members of the Camera Information set.

Read temperature 
In general, the temperature read is 15 C greater than the temperature at the front 
plate. The temperature should not exceed 80 °C. 
Read Camera input voltage

Verify Temperature and Voltage 
To determine the voltage and temperature at the camera, use the Read Voltage and Temperature feature 
found in the Camera Information set. 
The temperature returned is the internal chip case temperature in degrees Celsius. For proper operation, 
this value should not exceed 80 °C. If the camera exceeds the designated temperature it will shut down 
and w ill not turn on until the camera’s temperature is 73 ºC or less. Use the reset camera function. 
The voltage displayed is the camera’s input voltage. Note that the voltage measurement feature of the 
camera provides only approximate results (typically within 10%). The measurement should not be used 
to set the applied voltage to the camera, but only used as a test to isolate gross problems with the supply 
voltage.
