A.R.T. ARTtrack2 - Mounting

© 2008 by EST · Last updated: 28.01.2008
The tracking system is very sensitive to camera movements. Therefore, the cameras have to be mounted in a way that reduces camera movements (especially vibrations) as much as possible. Mounting on tripods may be sufficient for demos and preliminary installations, but is not recommended as a final solution! 
Make sure you install the system in a way that you can easily access the cameras and its cables. Be especially careful to fix the cameras firmly so they cannot fall off. Use strong dowels and screws for mounting the cameras to walls or ceiling. Use massive and not to long angle irons to provide the required stiffness and stability.
To avoid measurement problems, no light sources or highly reflecting areas should be visible from the camera. Especially string point light sources like e.g. halogen lamps and direct or reflected sunlight may imply problems for the measurement.

On the bottom or the top side of the camera ARTtrack3 must be mount the carrier with:

  • one thread 1/4" UNC, for mounting on tripods.
  • one hole with a diameter of 6 mm, for ceiling suspension

The carrier can be attached on both bottom and topside of the camera. The mounting position of the ARTtrack3 does not matter due to the passive cooling system.
