Section 23. Quick Notes
23.1 CC5MPX General
• The LED will Flash or be on when the camera is in an Active Power State.
• When the LED is steadily on the camera is booting up. Avoid interrupting
this process.
• Briefly pressing the setup button will always cause the camera to exit from
any low powered quiescent states and enable the Ethernet interface for
communications. The camera will remain in this state for 5 minutes.
• An active session to the camera with a web browser will prevent the
camera from entering a low powered state.
• Avoid removing power from the camera when it is in an active state. If
the camera is in an active state (LED is flashing), properly shut down the
camera to avoid any memory card corruption before removing power. The
camera can be shut down by pressing the setup button continuously for
more than 10 seconds or by using the Shutdown button on the web
interface.
• The SD memory card must be formatted to FAT32.
• Verify that the lens cable is properly seated, as the connector may
inadvertently become unplugged during handling or installation.
• Always ensure that all cable connectors, covers and the lens tube are
securely in place.
• Record any changes to the IP settings of the camera. This information is
important to gain access to the camera for focusing, or reconfiguration.
• Check the Campbell Scientific Website for Firmware updates that may
apply.
