CC5MPX Digital Camera
1. Introduction
Figure 1-1 CC5MPX Camera
The CC5PMX Series digital network cameras 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.

3. Getting Started
Enusre that the pigtail end of the power cable is properly terminated (see
Wiring, Section 4) 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.
3.1 Factory Setup
The following table outlines some of the CC5MPx settings that are relevant for
initially communicating with the CC5MPX camera:

There are two different ways to set up the parameters in the CC5MPX. The
Ethernet network interface can be used with a web browser of the RS-232
serial lines can be used with Campbell Scientifics’ Device Configuration utility.
The use of RS-232 serial lines will require the use of the DB9 terminal block
adapter in order to connect to a PC (Section 4, Table 4-1).
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.
3.2 Installing MultiMedia Player
The use of a MultiMedia player is required on your computer to properly
display the video from the CC5MPX. We recommend the use of the VideoLAN
VLC media player, which is a free, open-source software, which ensures that
the proper video codecs are available on your computer. The download is
available online at:
http://www.videolan.org/vlc/
Download and install the appropriate VLC media player to the PC that will be
interfacing with the CC5MPX.
3.3 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, you
should be prompted to run the ActiveX add-ons. The prompt is in the form of a
‘pop-up’ in Internet Explorer and should be allowed.
3.4 Setup Using Ethernet
3.4.1 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 the computer connecting to the CC5MPX
must be configured to use DHCP. If the computer is configured to
Note

CC5MPX Digital Camera
5
use a static IP one of the remaining interface arrangements will need to be used.
3.4.2 Static IP Address Setup
If your computer is not set to use DHCP to obtain an IP address automatically,
you will need to follow the procedure outlined in this section to access the
camera’s webpage. It may be beneficial to speak with someone in your IT
department if you are 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 your current network, you may
simply plug the camera into the network and access the web page using this
IP. If this IP address is not compatible with your network, then you will have
to connect the camera directly to your 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 your computer’s Ethernet IP address to be compatible
with the default address assigned to the CC5MPX.
In order to make these changes to your computer’s network settings, you will
need to have Administrator access. The procedure for changing these network
settings in Windows 7 is explained shown below:
Connect the CC5MPX camera directly to your computer’s Ethernet port. You
can use either a standard Ethernet cable or a crossover Ethernet cable, as the
CC5MPX’s auto-MDIX feature allows the camera to automatically connect
using either cable.
Open the Control Panel. If you are in Icon view, click Network and Sharing
Center. If you are in Category view, click Network and Internet, then click
Network and Sharing Center.

Click OK to accept. This may prompt a Microsoft TCP/IP Warning pop-up. If
you see this pop-up, click Yes.
You should now be able to open Internet Explorer and access the camera by
typing http://192.168.190 or clicking this link. Once the camera establishes a
connection with the camera, the following page should be displayed in your
browser:

CC5MPX Digital Camera

Figure 3-5 Web Interface Live Video Home Page
If you select a video format to display from the Video Display Size dropdown
box, you should be prompted to install or allow an ActiveX control. By default,
your browser may be configured to block pop-ups. You will need to enable the
pop-up for the camera.
Now that a connection has been established, please see Section 7.3 for further
instructions on how to change the camera’s network settings.
After the changes have been completed, remember to re-enter your
computer’s original IP address settings in the Internet Protocol Version 4
(TCP/IPv4) Properties window.
3.5 Setup Using Device Configuration Utility
Campbell Scientific provides a free software program called Device
Configuration Utility that supports the configuration of a variety of equipment.
The CC5MPX can also be configured with the Device Configuration Utility.
Please visit the Campbell Scientific website to ensure that you have the most
recent version of this utility.
The CC5MPX ships from the factory with the communication lines configured
for the RS-232. The Green wire on the cable is the CC5MPX RS-232 TX (output)
line, the White wire is the CC5MPX RS-232 RX (input) line. A connection will
also need to be made from the CC5MPX Black Ground to the RS-232 Ground.
The CC5MPX comes with a Female DB9 to Terminal block accessory that
facilitates the connection from the Power & I/O Cable to a 9 pin RS-232
connector. See Section 4 for wiring details.
When power is first applied to the camera the LED will turn on and remain
steadily on for about 90 secs. Once the LED starts flashing, the camera has
initialized properly and is ready for operation.
The Device Configuration Utility can now be invoked. Select the CC5MPX as
the device type and the appropriate COM port.
