[Elphel-support] Elphel camera gets hot

[Andrey Filippov]

Ángel,

62C is OK, the sandbox camera sits by the (really cold) window, so it is
colder itself. Our other (standard PoE) cameras in the office show 50C-55C.
Additionally - 12V is near the low margin of the 9-36V range of the  DC/DC
converter used in your camera,   there is a diode bridge before the DC-DC
that drops about 1.5V and so converter efficiency is somewhat lower than at
higher voltages. If possible I would recommend using higher voltage
batteries (i.e. 14V used in some notebooks).
