Monitoring camera having a heater
Abstract:
A camera having a heating arrangement comprising a heater arranged to supply heat to a window. A thermally conductive member is arranged in contact with a housing and with the heating arrangement, when a temperature at the conductive member is below a threshold, to transfer heat supplied by the heater to the housing. A thermally insulating member is arranged in proximity with the housing and the heating arrangement. The conductive and/or insulating member is configured to, when the temperature increases above the threshold during heater operation, change its extension to enable contact between the insulating member and the housing and between the insulating member and the heating arrangement, and to disable contact between the conductive member and the housing and between the conductive member and the heating arrangement, thereby thermally insulate the housing from the heater.
