8.11.3 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.
8.11.4 Lens IR Cut Filter
The CC5MPX is internally equipped with an IR cut filter. The filter is required
to filter out near infrared light that can have an undesirable effect on the
images.
8.12 Power Calculations and Timings
The CC5MPX was specifically designed for operation in power-constrained
systems such as solar powered sites. It is critical in such systems that the
camera be properly configured to meet the constraints of the intended
application. This section outlines the power consumption of the camera for
purposes of power supply design for a system.
8.12.1 Standalone Operation
In standalone mode, the camera operates as a self-contained image and video
logger. Files will be stored onto the internal SD memory card.
