CC5MPX Digital Camera Figure 12-2 Device Configuration Utility Screen 13. Image Quality Lighting conditions have the greatest influence on image quality. The CC5MPX camera produces the best images under normal daylight conditions. Pictures taken in good daylight conditions produce crisper and brighter images, as the camera uses the entire image to adjust the exposure settings of a scene. Scenes that contain small variations in light intensities will produce better images.
CC5MPX Digital Camera The zoom and focus adjustments are shown in Figure 14-2. The thumbscrews may need to be loosened prior to moving the adjustments. It is important to tighten the thumb screws once the camera focus and zoom adjustments are completed, to avoid problems from vibration. The camera controls the iris of the lens using the cable with a 4-pin connector. This connector must always be plugged into the receptacle (on the front lens plate of the camera) for proper operation.
CC5MPX Digital Camera 14.1 Camera Lens and Field of View The CC5MPX includes a 4-12 mm lens, which provides an approximate 27° horizontal field of view when fully zoomed in, and an 80° horizontal field of view when fully zoomed out. The CC5MPX-Z camera includes a 10-40 mm lens, which provides an an approximate 9° horizontal field of view when fully zoomed in, and a 35° horizontal field of view when fully zoomed out. See Figure 14-3 for a visual representation of the field of view.
CC5MPX Digital Camera If the LED is not flashing while the camera is wired up and the power is turned on, you may need to press the setup button to wake the camera from any of its low powered modes. In some configurations, pressing the setup button may also be required to enable the Ethernet port. Establish a connection to the camera by typing the address of the camera into the web browser (Factory Default IP address is 192.168.1.90). The homepage of the camera should appear once the address is entered.
CC5MPX Digital Camera Figure 14-5 Homepage Video Display and Focusing Numbers 14.3 Temperature Variations and Focus The CC5MPX can operate under extreme temperature variations. The focus of the lens can change slightly with large variations in temperature. For example, if a lens is focused at +35°C, the lens may be slightly out of focus at -40°C. The change in focus will be less noticeable if the focus is adjusted closer to the camera’s operating temperature. 14.
CC5MPX Digital Camera some total power consumption (standalone) figures in Amp-Hours per day depending on the Power Mode and frequency of images. One thing to note is that the Off State will only consume less power than the Deep Sleep state if fewer than 24 pictures are taken per day. This is due to the boot-up time that the camera requires when exiting the Off State. The extra boot-up time means that the camera consumes the Active Current for a longer time (120 seconds).

CC5MPX Digital Camera 16. CR1000 Interface Guide The CC5MPX can interface to the CR1000 using the RS-232 (default) or RS-485. The RS-232 configuration is the simplest option as it does not require an additional hardware interface. The pigtail end of the CC5MPX Power & I/O cable can be terminated directly to the CR1000 wiring panel control ports (COM1-4). Refer to Section 9 for wiring details.
CC5MPX Digital Camera x x x this would normally be between 3 and 10 images and for an external memory card (i.e. CRD drive) the number of images can be larger. When communicating to retrieve images, it is suggested to limit the number of files in the ring memory to 200 in order to avoid long communication delays. Following is an example of Files Manager settings: (55,USR:SkySouth.JPG,3) Camera PakBus address is 55 The files will be stored in the USR: director with a name SkySouth####.

The use of the “Follow Scheduled Data Collection” option will use the scheduled configuration in the Schedule Tab. If the “New Schedule” option is selected, you will need to configure the Base Date and Time, and Retrieval Interval parameters. It is possible to configure the File Retrieval to delete files once retrieved from the datalogger.
CC5MPX Digital Camera they will not be retrieved later. If this box is not selected, the skipped files can be retrieved in a later attempt. 17.2 Using LoggerNet File Control Images or video that are in the dataloggers memory can be viewed or collected on demand by using the File Control feature that is available from the Connection Screen menu (Figure 17-2). The use of File Control requires a communications connection to the datalogger. Using the File Control can also be useful for debugging purposes.
