1.6.7 Deactivating the Automatic Daily Reboot of the Camera

In its default configuration, the MOBOTIX camera automatically reboots every

morning at 3:36am. The reason for this is that external influences (e.g. radiation in

high locations) can lead to camera malfunctions. The automatic reboot will refresh

the camera's memory and will ensure proper operation without requiring any inter-

action on the part of the user.

Open Admin Menu> Time Tasks and deactivate or delete the

1.6.10 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 the effects of small electrical surges by

numerous measures. These measures, however, cannot prevent the camera from

being damaged when stronger electrical surges occur. Special care should be ta-

ken when installing the camera outside of buildings to ensure proper protection

against lightning, since this also protects the building and the whole network infra-

structure.

MOBOTIX recommends having MOBOTIX cameras installed only by specialists ac-

customed to installing network devices and having proper respect for the pertinent

regulations regarding lightning protection and fire prevention as well as the current

technology for preventing damages from electrical surges.
