    CC5MPX Digital Camera The MD485 is useful for connecting more than one camera to a datalogger or if long cable lengths are involved. If multiple cameras are connected to an MD485, then it would be beneficial to offset the capture times of the images so that only one camera is attempting to transmit a file at any given time.

  • Page 93: Concurrent Pakbus Communications

    CC5MPX Digital Camera PakBus can also be used to control specific operational parameters, transfer variables or text between the datalogger and camera. When an image or video file is ready to be transmitted, the camera will initiate communications and send the image or video via the selected serial interface. The CC5MPX is capable of producing video files that exceed 30 MB in size.

    CC5MPX Digital Camera 8.10 Image Quality Lighting conditions have the greatest influence on image quality. The CC5MPX camera produces the best images under normal daylight conditions. Pictures taken in good daylight conditions produce crisper and brighter images, as the camera uses the entire image to adjust the exposure settings of a scene. Scenes that contain small variations in light intensities will produce better exposed images.

The focus of the lens can change slightly with large variations in temperature. For example, if a lens is focused at 35 °C, the lens may be slightly out of focus at –40 °C. The change in focus will be less noticeable if the focus is adjusted closer to the camera’s operating temperature.
