TABLE 12-27 Wi-Fi Power Modes
Power
Mode
Operating Characteristics
Always On
Wi-Fi connection is always powered on.
Low Power
Save Mode
Wi-Fi will only power up to transmit files after a capture event.
A button press enables the Wi-Fi for 5 min.
Attaching the external trigger wire (blue) to a power source
(>2.5 Vdc, maximum 30 Vdc) turns the Wi-Fi on until power is
removed.
Disabled
Wi-Fi connection is disabled (does not power up). Files cannot
be transmitted over Wi-Fi. A button press will enable the Wi-Fi
for 5 min, network activity will not reset this timer. Holding the
External Trigger in the active state enables the Wi-Fi.
Deactivating the External Trigger Input will immediately
power off the Wi-Fi.
One of the main factors in determining which power mode to use
is the power consumption budget available for the camera.
If the camera is operating from an AC main power supply, the
camera will have the best performance characteristics in the
Fully
On
State
. On the other hand, if the camera needs to operate from
a battery for long periods of time, then the
Off
State
is more
suitable.
There are two methods to wake the Wi-Fi up when it is
configured for a low power mode. First, pressing the
Setup Button
on the back of the camera will wake the Wi-Fi out of
Low Power
Save Mode
and
Disabled
for 5 min. Any network activity on the
web interface will also reset the timer in
Low Power Save Mode
.
Network activity will not reset the timer in
Disabled Mode.
Second, by holding the
External Trigger Input
in the active state,
the Wi-Fi will wake out of any low power mode after a period of
10 sec. Similarly, network activity will reset the 5 min timer in
Low Power Save Mode
, but not in
Disabled Mode.

Night Mode
The CCFC is optimized for night-time media captures. During
times of reduced light, the camera automatically increases its
exposure time and can lower the frame rate in order to increase
brightness in photos. The CCFC will also increase frame rate
when capturing videos, which results in videos that appear darker
than photos captured at the same time. The CCFC is equipped
with Infrared LEDs in order to capture photos in complete
