memory card. This function is also available through the camera web interface
via the Shutdown Camera button box.
8.2.4 SD Memory Card
The camera is internally equipped to use an SD memory card. An extended
temperature memory card (pn 27506 for a 4 GB card, pn 27507 for an 8 GB
card) is available as an option for the CC5MPX.
If using an SD memory card from another source, it 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 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. Individual image or video capture can be
configured to manage memory card files as either a fill and stop, or with a ring
memory.
Access to the SD card requires removal of the camera backplate. Insertion or
removal should only be done when power is removed. See Section 8.2.4.2 ,
Accessing SD Memory Card
(p. 23)
, 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 and video storage to function
unpredictably.
8.2.4.1 Link for Most Recent Image and Video
There are also permanent links available in the CC5MPX web server 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.
