CC5MPX & CC5MPX-Z Digital Network Camera

The secondary function of the Setup button is to facilitate a power down
procedure. If the button is held for a period of 10 seconds, the camera will
completely shut down for a period of 10 minutes. During this interval you
are able to remove power from the camera and avoid possible corruption of
the memory card. This function is also available through the camera Web
interface via the “Shutdown Camera” button box.
5.4 SD Memory Card
The camera is internally equipped to use an SD memory card. An extended
temperature memory card is available as an option for the CC5MPX.
If you choose to use your own memory card, the memory card will need to
be formatted with a PC using the FAT32 format.
Image files can be stored on the SD memory card as JPEG files and video
files are stored as AVI files. Individual image and video files are uniquely
named with a sequence number, or with a date and time stamp. The
directory location will correspond to the camera capture configuration and
the method of triggering (i.e. Motion Detection).
The use of the card for image and video storage is entirely configurable to
fit the needs of a given application. Each individual image or video capture
feature can be configured to manage memory card files as either a fill &
stop, or with a ring memory.
Access to the SD card requires the removal of the camera backplate.
Insertion or removal should only be done when power is removed. See
Section 5.4.2 for more information on image and video retrieval from the
SD card. It is generally recommended to delete older image files from the
memory card after downloading them to a permanent storage location.
Once the contents of the memory card are read or downloaded, it is
recommended to reformat the memory card (using FAT32) to delete the
entire contents. The CC5MPX writes binary files to the memory card to
facilitate file management. Deleting or editing the contents of the memory
card manually outside of the camera will invalidate the binary files, causing
image & video storage to function unpredictably.
5.4.1 Link for Most Recent Image and Video
There are also permanent links available in the CC5MPX webserver to
download the most recently captured images or video files available on the
SD card. Each capture method has its own link. These links redirect to the
actual files on the SD card, which means for continuity that the
downloaded filename will be the same as the filename on the SD card.
The following are examples and the IP address will vary with the
camera’s network configuration.
