When mounting the bare board variant of dart cameras in your system, make sure that the head diameter of the screws used for mounting doesn't exceed 4.6 mm.

Otherwise, mounting the camera may damage components on the board.

dart M#

When mounting the dart M camera modules in your system, observe the following:

  • Make sure that the head diameter of the screws used for mounting doesn't exceed 5 mm.
  • Make sure that you mount the screws within a torque range of 0.25 - 0.35 Nm (maximum torque: 0.35 Nm).
  • Make sure that the notches of the mount fit into the correct indentations of the camera module (see figure below). Turn the mount until the positions of the notches correspond to the positions of the indentations on the camera module.
