OAK Camera Adhesive Application

Why / When This Is Needed

Water ingress has been identified as a potential failure mode on currently deployed cameras, particularly around the rear enclosure screw holes and USB connector. This procedure should be performed on cameras to improve their resistance to water ingress by applying silicone sealant to these potential entry points. All newly shipped cameras from Sabanto will have this procedure already completed.

Required Materials

Surface Prep

1. Clean out all 4 screw holes on the rear surface of the camera as shown below using alcohol wipes, wait for alcohol to dry. DO NOT remove any of the 4 screws from the rear of the camera enclosure.

   

2. Remove the circular USB connector plug from the rear of the camera as shown below, Clean the threads on the interior surface of the metal connector on the camera and exterior surface of the plastic plug with alcohol wipes. Wait for alcohol to dry.

   

Application

1. Apply silicone sealant to all four screw holes on the rear surface of the camera as shown below. Using the included putty knife, press the sealant down and wipe until the texture is smooth.

2. Apply silicone sealant to the circular USB connector plug’s exterior threads and screw the connector into the camera. The USB connector should be finger tight, and does not require force during installation

   

3. Wait a period of 15 minutes for sealant to dry to a tack-free surface.
