working on or around tripods and towers.
•Do not climb tripods or towers at any time, and prohibit climbing by other persons. Take
reasonable precautions to secure tripod and tower sites from trespassers.
•Use only manufacturer recommended parts, materials, and tools.
Utility and Electrical
•You can be killed or sustain serious bodily injury if the tripod, tower, or attachments you are
installing, constructing, using, or maintaining, or a tool, stake, or anchor, come in contact with
overhead or underground utility lines.
•Maintain a distance of at least one-and-one-half times structure height, 20 feet, or the distance
required by applicable law, whichever is greater, between overhead utility lines and the
structure (tripod, tower, attachments, or tools).
•Prior to performing site or installation work, inform all utility companies and have all
underground utilities marked.
•Comply with all electrical codes. Electrical equipment and related grounding devices should be
installed by a licensed and qualified electrician.
Elevated Work and Weather
•Exercise extreme caution when performing elevated work.
•Use appropriate equipment and safety practices.
•During installation and maintenance, keep tower and tripod sites clear of un-trained or non-
essential personnel. Take precautions to prevent elevated tools and objects from dropping.
•Do not perform any work in inclement weather, including wind, rain, snow, lightning, etc.
Maintenance
•Periodically (at least yearly) check for wear and damage, including corrosion, stress cracks,
frayed cables, loose cable clamps, cable tightness, etc. and take necessary corrective actions.
•Periodically (at least yearly) check electrical ground connections.

CC5MPX Digital Camera
1. Introduction
FIGURE 1-1. CC5MPX Camera
The CC5PMX Series digital network cameras (FIGURE 1-1) are designed to
meet the stringent operational requirements necessary for remote battery
powered installations while producing images of up to 5 megapixels. Both
cameras can operate over a wide temperature range and have several advanced
power saving modes to suit a variety of needs.
CC5MPX will be used to refer to the series throughout the manual,
unless otherwise specified.
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. When required,
an optional lens defroster is available.
The camera contains an onboard SD memory card that can turn the camera into
a powerful image and video logger. The onboard memory card enables the
CC5MPX to archive images and video internally.
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.
NOTE

2. Precautions
•READ AND UNDERSTAND the Safety section at the front of this
manual.
•The CC5MPX is a precision instrument containing glass components. Do
not subject to physical shock or drops.
•Avoid strong magnetic fields.
•Store SD memory cards in a case to protect them.
•Do not attempt to disassemble components.
•Use a blower or proper soft cloth to clean the lens.
•Do not exceed voltages as defined in Section 6.1, Specifications (p. 11).
•Desiccant and O-rings should be replaced every two years.
•WARNING: Installations requiring camera to be mounted on tripods,
towers and other elevated structures require following safety guidelines of
those structures.
3. Initial Inspection
•When the CC5MPX is first received, inspect the packaging and contents
for damage. If any damage is found, file a damage claim with the shipping
company.
•Immediately check the package contents. Thoroughly check all packaging
material for product that may be concealed. Check model numbers, part
numbers, and product descriptions against the shipping documents. Each
product will is identified with a printed model number or part number. On
cabled items, the number is often found at the end of the cable that
connects to the measurement device. The Campbell Scientific number may
differ from the part number or model number printed on the sensor by the
sensor vendor. Ensure the expected lengths of any cables ordered are
correct. Contact Campbell Scientific immediately if there are any
discrepancies.
•Check the firmware version of the camera against the most recent version
found on the Campbell Scientific website in the CC5MPX support tab and
update as needed.
4. QuickStart
Ensure that the pigtail end of the power cable is properly terminated (see
Section 8.1, Cables/Wiring (p. 15)) before connecting the power cable connector
to the camera. If the power supply has an on/off switch, it is also recommended
to switch the power off before connecting the power connector to the camera.
For the initial power up and set up of the camera, it is useful to unscrew the
protective cap that protects the push button and LED indicator.

CC5MPX Digital Camera

4.1 Factory Setup
The following outlines some of the CC5MPX settings that are relevant for
initially communicating with the CC5MPX camera:
TABLE 4-1. CC5MPX Default Configuration
Configuration Setting Value
Power Mode Fully On
Link Local IP 169.254.99.99
Network IP Address 192.168.1.90 (Static)
Network Mask 255.255.255.0
Serial I/O Port RS-232
RS-232 Baud Rate 115200
PakBus Address 55
There are two different ways to set up the parameters in the CC5MPX. The
Ethernet network interface can be used with a web browser or the RS-232
serial lines can be used with Campbell Scientific’s Device Configuration
Utility (DevConfig). The use of RS-232 serial lines will require the use of the
DB9 terminal block adapter (pn 28840) in order to connect to a PC (TABLE
8-1, Power and I/O Cable Color Connections (p. 16)).
When power is first applied to the camera, the LED will turn on and remain
steadily on for about 90 seconds. Once the LED starts flashing, the camera has
initialized properly and is ready for operation.
4.2 Installing Multimedia Player
The use of a multimedia player is required to properly display the video from
the CC5MPX on a computer. VideoLAN® VLC media player® is free, open-
source PC software that plays back video on any Windows® computer. The
download is available online at:
www.videolan.org/vlc
Download and install the appropriate VLC media player to the PC that will be
interfacing with the CC5MPX.
4.3 ActiveX® Controls in Internet Explorer®
Currently the CC5MPX is only fully supported using the Windows Internet
Explorer® (32 bit) browser.
The web interface for the CC5MPX requires the use of ActiveX® controls
when using Internet Explorer. These add-ons allow Windows to interact with
objects in the web interface through Internet Explorer.
When connecting to the CC5MPX via the web interface for the first time, a
prompt will appear to run the ActiveX add-ons. The prompt is in the form of a

CC5MPX Digital Camera
4
‘pop-up’ in Internet Explorer and must be allowed to function with the
CC5MPX.
4.4 Setup Using Ethernet
4.4.1 Link Local IP Address Auto-Configuration
The CC5MPX supports an automatic IP address configuration in situations
where the camera is directly connected, via Ethernet cable, to a computer
without the need of a DHCP server.
This feature is automatically enabled in the camera and is transparent to its
normal operation. In this situation, the camera will be accessible using the IP
address 169.254.99.99. This address will be valid for accessing the camera in
any network configuration.
In order to use Link Local IP address, the computer connecting to
the CC5MPX must be configured to use DHCP. If the computer
is configured to use a static IP, one of the remaining interface
arrangements will need to be used.
4.4.2 Static IP Address Setup
If the computer is not set to use DHCP to obtain an IP address automatically,
follow the procedure outlined in this section to access the camera’s web page.
Consult with an IT department employee if not familiar with configuring
devices for operation on a network.
The default static IP address for the camera is 192.168.1.90. If the standard
assigned static IP address is compatible with the current network, simply plug
the camera into the network and access the web page using this IP. If this IP
address is not compatible with the network, connect the camera directly to the
computer’s Ethernet port in order to change its IP address.
The easiest way to connect to the CC5MPX to change its IP address settings is
to manually configure the computer’s Ethernet IP address to be compatible
with the default address assigned to the CC5MPX.
Administrator access is required to make these changes to the computer’s
network settings. The procedure for changing these network settings in
Windows 7 is explained below:
Connect the CC5MPX camera directly to the computer’s Ethernet port. Use
either a standard Ethernet cable or a crossover Ethernet cable, as the CC5MPX
auto-MDIX feature allows the camera to automatically connect using either
cable.
Open the Control Panel. If in Icon view, click Network and Sharing Center.
If in Category view, click Network and Internet | Network and Sharing
Center (FIGURE 4-1).

When selecting a video format to display from the Video Display Size
drop-down box, a prompt will appear to install or allow an ActiveX control. By
default, the browser may be configured to block pop-ups. Pop-ups will need to
be enable for the camera view to function.
Now that a connection has been established, please see Section 8.4.2, Network
Configuration (p. 29), for further instructions on how to change the camera’s
network settings.
After the changes have been completed, remember to re-enter the computer’s
original IP address settings in the Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4)
Properties window.
