vibration in an industrial install

has anyone had to deal with vibration or movement on a building, or where a camera will be mounted? are there bushings, mounts, etc that deal with this issues at all?

no but that sounds like a fun one. Definitly let me know how you deal with that one.

In the past I've had to mount a range of cameras on industrial process machinery with both high and low frequency vibrations (also 3 > 5G impacts on some).

You could make up a clamp "sandwich" with a 1- 2" thick piece of high density polyethelyne between the mounting bracket and the vibrating surface. If the camera is fitted into a weatherproof housing, the addition of a further piece of HDPE or similar (perhaps LDPE) between the camera and the support plate will further damp out some of the vibration.

As no two situations are ever quite the same, you will need to experiment a bit to see what works best for you.

griffonsystems,

If you begin to feel sick whilst watching the monitor, it's a fair bet the anti vibration technique isn't working properly :lol:

Hope it goes o.k. and keep us posted,
