Camera Wink Stand High Electromagnetic Install: Integrated Framer Visualization

The Wink Camera and Camera Stand may be susceptible to electromagnetic interference when installed in high-electromagnetic noise environments. This has been identified in buildings installed with three-phase power and/or with large banks of florescent lighting.

Initial step is to ensure that the Wink is grounded to the Camera Stand. This requires inspection of the camera mount to ensure that there is electrical connectivity between the camera and the mounting stud. The following process illustrates how to ensure the camera mount is grounded properly.

a. Loosen the thumb screw until the camera mounting stud barely rotates,

b. Rotate the camera stud back and forth. Small flakes of paint coming from the mount are expected.

c. Rotate the mounting cylinder around in circles approximately five times. Again, small flakes of paint coming from the camera mount are expected.

d. Tighten and install on camera stand.

If the problem persists, ground the camera stand to electrical ground. This requires that a ground wire is installed between the mounting screw of the camera stand and an electrical ground. This should be performed by a qualified electrician.

The picture shows a ground wire attached to one of the mounting screws of the camera stand. In this installation bolts are used to mount the camera stand to the work surface and the grounding wire is attached under the nut fastening the bolt to the work surface. Attaching a ground wire to the bottom in a non-visible location maintains the aesthetics of the installation.

Note: In order to achieve a good ground, paint may need to be scraped from the camera stand underneath the head of the mounting bolt.

In order to ensure that a ground connection is provided between the boom arm and the pole, the thumb screw that is used to mount the arm to the pole must scrape off paint. The following picture shows the pole after the thumb screw has been tightened. The arm has been lifted higher on the pole for illustration on how the paint will be removed. This will not be visible when the pole arm is installed properly.

Finally, if multiple cameras and camera stands are installed in close proximity and the building has three phase power, ensure that both camera systems are installed on the same phase of the building power. This must be performed by a qualified electrician.
