Camera fan control

Last modified by Lev Andronov on 2025/02/19 10:25

This feature is only available for camera models which have a fan. Several modes are available:

  • Auto Mode
    The fan activation is monitored and the controller automatically.
  • Manual Mode
    The fan activation is controlled using a specified threshold and duty cycle.
  • Force On
    The fan is always on
  • Force Off
    The fan is always off

Manual fan rotation

To achieve manual fan rotation, use the following parameter settings:

  1. Switch "Device Fan Mode" to Manual to enable temperature thresholds and fan duty cycle
  2. "Device Fan Duty Cycle" represents the PWM fan speed as a percentage.
  3. Set "Device Fan Threshold High" for value in Celsius for fan ON
  4. Set "Device Fan Threshold Low" for value in Celsius for fan OFF

Important note: Not all cameras equipped with a fan are able to gradually adjust 'Fan Duty Cycle', some models are limited to a binary switch where value of 0 is fan off and 100 is fan on.
