Section 1. Introduction
FIGURE 1-1. CC5MPX Camera
The CC5MPX and CC5MPXWD are essentially the same camera, except the
CC5MPXWD includes a window defroster that removes light frost and icing
from the camera’s window. A more detailed description of the defroster is
provided in Appendix B.
For readability purposes, CC5MPX will refer to both cameras
throughout this document unless specified otherwise.
The CC5MPX digital network camera was designed to meet the stringent
operational requirements necessary for remote battery powered installations
while producing images of up to 5 megapixels. The CC5MPX can operate
over a wide temperature range and has several advanced power saving modes
to suit a variety of needs.
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.
An SD memory card is available as an option. This card enables the CC5MPX
to archive images and videos internally, creating a powerful image and video
logger.
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.
