Mini Camera - warm to touch?

[Guest]

Is it normal for mini camera to be warm to touch but more warmer around the
metal casting of the len. Should I worry?

Thanks,

CCD chiped cams use a good bit of power and can be warm.

Thanks. I assume it's safe to leave it on all the time without worrying
about the risk of the camera catching fire?

If it is hot enough to be a concern for catching on fire, then
there could be a problem.
