I picked up a 12MP fisheye camera pretty cheap 2nd hand and noticed it's quite warm to the touch.

Infrared thermometer has it near 40 degrees C (104f). Just wondering is this normal?

The ambient temp is about 18C (64f). I'm powering it over POE and it just sitting on a block of paper so it been pretty insulated which probably hasn't helped. It's also been on for a couple of hours and everything is working as expected. I've updated it to the latest firmware version but the firmware is from 2017 so the camera is a few generations old :)
 
Some cameras do run surprisingly warm ... (hot)
It seems wrong.
It must be inefficient.
But, it is 'normal'.
