Page 19: Power I/O Connection
CCFC Field Camera Power I/O Connection Connection to the Power I/O connector is necessary for camera operation, as it is the only means to supply power to the camera. The connector that connects to the Power I/O connector provides a weather-tight connection and has an IP68 environmental rating when properly connected. -
Page 20: Setup Button
The Setup Button can be used to wake the camera from any of the power saving modes. Once the Setup Button is pushed, the CCFC enters a fully powered mode for 5 minutes. During this interval, the camera can be accessed via Ethernet, Wi-Fi, or RS-232/485 to make any necessary configuration changes. -

Page 28: Setup Using Wi-Fi
11.1 Setup Using Wi-Fi The CCFC is Wi-Fi enabled. While the camera is powering up, start the computer/mobile device and connect to the camera via its Wi-Fi network. The camera will appear as CCFC-1000 (for example), where 1000 is the last four digits of the camera’s serial number, on the Wi-Fi network. -
Page 29: Installing Multimedia Player
12.1.1 RTSP Video Stream The CCFC has a built-in RTSP server, which streams the live video from the camera to a compatible viewer. This is the same video stream that is used to display live video on the camera’s web interface. -
Page 30: Embedding
12.1.2 UPnP Discovery The CCFC supports UPnP for device discovery. Meaning, the CCFC will appear in the Windows Network panel with a name such as CCFC-1000, where 1000 is the actual serial number of the camera. This feature makes it possible to find the camera after connecting it to an existing network using DHCP, regardless of whether the connection is wired via Ethernet or Wi-Fi. -

CCFC Field Camera detect desirable motion due to too many scene variables. In some cases where motion detect of a small object is required, it may be necessary to set a motion detect level that will also produce frequent false triggers. - Page 47 CCFC Field Camera 1 to 99 Experimenting with values is the the best method for determining where to set the level for the desired application. A Value of 1 is the Sensitivity least sensitive, but less prone to false triggers. A Value of 99 is the most sensitive and is most susceptible to false triggers.

Page 71: Camera Operation
CCFC Field Camera 12.8.4 Camera Operation 12.8.4.1 Camera Power Modes Figure 12-38 Camera Power Modes The combination of the Camera Power Mode and Ethernet Power Modes dictates the camera’s power draw. There are four Camera Power Mode options: Fully On State: used if no power constraints exist or if high performance is required. - Page 72 CCFC Field Camera Camera is always on. Average power consumption is reduced by 50mA @ 12 Vdc. Full Power The Ethernet is normally turned off and is only enabled when outgoing Save communications are required (email or FTP). User needs to push the Setup Button to temporarily enable the Ethernet port for web page access.
-
Page 73: Ethernet Power Mode
12.8.4.2 Ethernet Power Mode Ethernet Power Mode dictates the Ethernet power draw. To reduce power consumption, the CCFC includes the ability to control the power characteristics of the Ethernet port. The specific behavior of the camera’s Ethernet power save is also influenced by the Power mode of the camera. -
Page 74: Wi-Fi Power Mode
CCFC Field Camera Table 12-25 Ethernet Power Modes Power Mode Operating Characteristics This power mode offers the maximum availability of the Ethernet port. If the Always On camera is in the Fully On power state or the Partially On power state, then the Ethernet port will always be on and available for communications. -
Page 75: Night Mode
Infrared LEDs in order to capture photos in complete darkness. IR illumination can be turned on or off to suit low light needs. The CCFC has an integrated IR filter that automatically switches in and out of to suit the lighting conditions. -
Page 76: Led Power Control
Outdoor photos contain a great deal of IR light from the sun. The photo sensor in the CCFC is sensitive to this IR light and will pick it up causing the photo to look improperly coloured. The lens on the CCFC is equipped with a switchable IR filter to counteract this effect. -
Page 77: Digital I/O
This is useful in a solar powered site when there is a need to limit power consumption of communication devices. This option enables the CCFC to supply up to a maximum of 750 mA of current. The voltage level will be the same as the camera’s input power (i.e. 12 Vdc). -
Page 78: Lens Defroster Control
CCFC Field Camera 12.8.4.5.2 Lens Defroster Control The Lens Defroster Control controls the operation of the lens defroster.

The CCFC is capable of producing video files that exceed 30MB. Trying to send such a large file to a datalogger using PakBus can be problematic. For this reason, the CCFC is setup to not send any files using PakBus that are larger than 2MB. -
Page 87: Send Via Pakbus: Concurrent Pakbus Communications
CCFC Field Camera The camera is a PakBus Leaf node and is not capable of performing any routing. However, the CCFC has the ability to communicate with devices that are several hops away on the PakBus network. 15.1 Send Via PakBus: Concurrent PakBus Communications PakBus allows the camera to download photos to a datalogger simultaneously with other datalogger communications. -

Page 89: Pakbus Control Of Ccfc Power
The ability to shut the camera down safely using a PakBus command is available in the CCFC. By writing a value of 1 (or any value not equaling zero) to the public Boolean variable CCFCShutdown the camera initiates a shutdown and power down cleanly. -
