CC5MPX Digital Camera
1. Introduction
FIGURE 1-1. CC5MPX Camera
The CC5PMX Series digital network cameras (FIGURE 1-1 ) are designed to
meet the stringent operational requirements necessary for remote battery
powered installations while producing images of up to 5 megapixels. Both
cameras can operate over a wide temperature range and have several advanced
power saving modes to suit a variety of needs.
CC5MPX will be used to refer to the series throughout the manual,
unless otherwise specified.
The CC5MPX incorporates an integrated rugged environmental enclosure to
reduce cost and installation time. Communication options include Ethernet,
RS-232, and RS-485. The CC5MPX is fully web-enabled with FTP and email
capabilities. Campbell Scientific’s PakBus® protocol is supported by the
CC5MPX for integration with Campbell Scientific dataloggers. When required,
an optional lens defroster is available.
The camera contains an onboard SD memory card that can turn the camera into
a powerful image and video logger. The onboard memory card enables the
CC5MPX to archive images and video internally.
The CC5MPX can operate in a stand-alone mode with image acquisitions
triggered by the camera’s own precision real time clock. Image and video
acquisitions can also be triggered by events through an external signal or
motion detection.
