captured or video is started, is typically less than 100 msec. The description of
the parameters for the External Trigger setup is outlined in TABLE 8-11 ,
External Trigger Variables
(p. 63)
.
8.4.6.4.1 File Transfer Queuing
When performing multiple captures and transfers off the camera in rapid
succession, the camera will queue file transfers (i.e., send via FTP, then SMTP,
then PakBus). File queueing separates the transfer functions from image and
video capture.
The camera can capture up to five images or videos in parallel with the file
transfers all taking place at the same time. For this feature to work an SD card
must be present.
8.4.6.4.2 External Trigger Video Pre-Recording
Video pre-recording allows the camera to record up to 30 seconds of video
leading up to a related trigger event. This feature can only be used with
external trigger and motion detection capture events.
The external trigger configuration page includes an option labeled Pre-Record
In Seconds . By entering a value between 1 and 30 in this field, the CC5MPX
will begin buffering video in its internal memory. When an event occurs, the
CC5MPX will store the set number of seconds of video to file and then
continue recording the live video until the number of seconds has elapsed.
The use of pre-recording does impose some limitations on the functionality
available in the CC5MPX:
• The pre-recording feature can only be used when the camera is in the
Fully On power mode.
•
If the text banner is enabled in the Video Settings used as part of Pre-
Record configuration, the text banner will be visible in the Live Video
view on the web page.
• If both image capture and video pre-recording are configured for the
same event, the video recording will take precedence. Only once the
video has been recorded and saved or transferred from the camera will
the image capture occur.
