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 use
a static IP one of the remaining interface arrangements will need to be
used.
Note

CC5MPX DigitalCamera

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 192.138.1.90. 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.

You should record existing settings that are used on the computer to restore the
connection once the CC5MPX setup is complete. In Figure 3-3, the computer is set
to obtain the IP address automatically.
Click Use the following IP address and enter to following values:
xIP address: 192.168.1.91
xSubnet mask: 255.255.255.0
xDefault gateway: 192.168.1.1
Figure 3-4 IP Address Configuration
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 DigitalCamera

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.
