Can incandescent damage my cctv cameras?

Recommended Posts

Hello All

 

I am building 4k CCTV system, I also have 150W floodlight outside my front house. I read the camera manual and it states incandescent may damage image sensor/camera. In what way can this happen. Will it be ok to have the light aimed slightly off from the camera? I am just worried about damaging the cameras because to me they are expensive so i am taking every precaution.

It seems just to be a precautionary measure. I did have lot of the light in the cameras view and no damage. I wouldn't recommend doing it just to be safe though.
