1.8.13 Safety Notes for Operating MOBOTIX Cameras
Electrical surges can be induced by other electrical appliances, improper wiring,
but also from the outside (e.g. lightning strikes to phone or power lines).
MOBOTIX cameras are protected against small electrical surges by numerous
measures. These measures, however, cannot prevent the camera from being da-
maged when stronger electrical surges occur.
Special care should be taken when installing the camera outside of buildings for
protection against lightning, since this also protects the building and the whole
network infrastructure.
MOBOTIX recommends having MOBOTIX cameras installed only by specialists
accustomed to installing network devices and having proper respect for the perti-
nent regulations regarding lightning protection and fire prevention as well as the
current technology for preventing damages from electrical surges.
Section 2.4,
Wiring, Fire Prevention, Lightning and Surge Protection , contains more
information on these topics.
1.8.14 Maximum Cable Lengths
According to UL regulations, the length of the cable to a MOBOTIX camera must
be limited to 140feet or less running outside of buildings. The installation must
comply with articles 725 and 800 of the National Electric Code.
