But that standard is INTENDED to apply to security and crowd-control cameras in stores, places of public assembly and sheltered accommodation. To 'read it on' to a simple camera used as a sophisticated baby alarm (on the grounds that it is a 'social alarm' application) is just the sort of man-trap that has many of us very concerned indeed. I'm going to get one of those cameras and mount it in my car. Now it has to meet automotive immunity requirements. Has the manufacturer thought of that? If the car camera works, I'll put two more in my boat and plane. No doubt that has been taken into account as well.(;-) -- Regards, John Woodgate, OOO - Own Opinions Only. http://www.jmwa.demon.co.uk After swimming across the Hellespont, I felt like a Hero. ------------------------------------------- This message is from the IEEE EMC Society Product Safety Technical Committee emc-pstc discussion list.
