Temperature Management

Cameras are designed to optimally transfer internal component heat to the outer metallic body. Due to the small form factor of the camera body, heat-sinking is required to dissipate thermal energy and maintain the front plate temperature within operating temperature specifications.

Mount the camera onto a metal structure via its mounting screw holes to achieve basic heat management. To improve heat dissipation, use thermal paste between the camera body (not the front plate) and the metal structure.

Other heat sink methods include dissipation through the lens and air flow.

CAUTION
Depending on the mounting design and the operating conditions, the camera body could become hot. You must take precautions to ensure your safety and avoid touching the camera directly during operation.
