• Avoiding induction: When running data cables parallel to existing regular
power lines or high-voltage wires, make sure you observe the minimum dis-
tances to the power cables.
Fire Prevention
When installing the power lines to the camera, make sure you always adhere to
the relevant regulations on wiring and fire prevention at the site of the installation.
Lightning and Surge Protection
To prevent damage from lightning and power surges, make sure you follow these
guidelines:
• Lightning conductors: In areas exposed to lightning (e.g. on roofs), a dis-
tance holder (1m (3ft) above and away from the camera) and proper light-
ning conductors need to be installed in order to prevent lightning strikes into
the camera and to ensure that the energy of a lightning strike is properly led
to the ground.
• Surge protection: Make sure you have installed proper protection against
electrical surges in order to prevent damage to the camera, the building and
the network infrastructure. This includes surge protectors for 19" racks, add-
ing an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) to the MOBOTIX camera, and in-
stalling surge arresters or similar for routers, switches, servers, etc.
