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