CCFC-PTZ
1. Introduction
Figure 1-1 CCFC-PTZ
The CCFC-PTZ (Figure 1-1 CCFC-PTZ) is designed to provide
the additional requirements of a pan-tilt mount to the CCFC Field
Camera. The CCFC-PTZ offers a wide operating temperature
range and complimentary rugged design to that of the CCFC Field
Camera.
Please note that the CCFC-PTZ comes equipped with it’s own
firmware that allows for functionality with the Pan Tilt Mount.
The majority of the setup for the CCFC-PTZ is the same as the
general CCFC Field Camera with the exception of the Lens
Positions and the Assembly to the Pan/Tilt Mount. Please refer to
the CCFC Field Camera Manual for general setup instructions.

3. Initial Inspection
•Upon receipt of the CCFC-PTZ, inspect the packaging and
contents for damage. File any damage claims with the
shipping company. Immediately check package contents
against the shipping documentation. Contact Campbell
Scientific about any discrepancies.
•The CCFC-PTZ ships with three parts: CCFC Camera,
Pan/Tilt Base and Controller (pn C3380) housed in a small
enclosure.
4. Cautionary Statements
Although the CCFC-PTZ is designed to be a rugged and reliable
device for field use, care should be taken when handling or
moving it to avoid aesthetic damage.
The Pan Tilt Base does not come equipped with the slip ring,
therefore if the base is positioned to 355 and needs to move 1
degree, the base will move to that position by moving
counterway.
5. Factory Setup
Table 7-1 CCFC Factory Default Configuration outlines the
CCFC factory settings that are relevant for initially
communicating with the camera.

NOTE: The Pan Tilt settings cannot be created or modified using
device configuration, therefore the Web Browser interface should
be used to configure these settings.
6. Cables/Wiring
6.1 Power Cable Connections
The wiring for the Power Cable connector and which wires need
to be connected for the intended camera application is as shown in
Table 9-1 Power Cable Connections. The Orange Cable provides
power to the Controller Enclosure, this is the only cable that
requires wiring. The other two cables run from the controller to
the CCFC Field Camera (Black) and the Pan Tilt Base (Grey).
The Controller Enclosure does not require any setting
changes, therefore the enclosure should never be
opened.

6.2 Power & I/O Cable Connections
6.2.1 CCFC Camera Power & I/O Cable Connection
The Black Cable (with 6 pin connector) runs from the Controller
Enclosure to the the CCFC Camera’s Power & I/O connector.
This cable provides power to the camera and allows the camera to
send commands to the Pan Tilt Controller.
6.2.2 Pan Tilt Base Power and I/O Cable Connection
The Grey Cable (with 15 pin connector) runs from the Controller
Enclosure to the Pan Tilt Base. The cable provides power to the
Pan Tilt Base and allows the Controller to send commands to the
Pan Tilt Base.

7. Connecting to the Web Interface
The CCFC supports an automatic IP address configuration in
situations where the camera is directly connected, via an Ethernet
cable, to a computer. If using this method, input the IP address
169.254.99.99 into the Internet browser.
Refer to Section 13.2 Setup Using Ethernet for details on making
the initial network connection to the camera. To establish
communications with the camera, use one of the methods
previously discussed. Enter the appropriate IP address in the
address bar of the browser. After typing the address, the
homepage (Dashboard) of the CCFC camera should appear, as
shown in Figure 14-1 Dashboard - Desktop view.
The camera ships with automatic network configuration via
DHCP enabled. It is highly recommended to keep track of any
changes made to the network settings.
7.1 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-9999 (for
example), where 9999 is the last four digits of the camera’s serial
number, on the Wi-Fi network.
Once connected to the camera Wi-Fi, open a web browser and
enter the default Wi-Fi IP address into the address bar:
http://10.0.0.1. This directs the user to the camera’s web interface
where the camera can be configured.
7.2 Setup Using Ethernet
7.2.1 Link Local IP Address Auto-Configuration
The CCFC 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 CCFC 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.
8. Lens Position
The camera comes pre-configured with 15 default lens positons,
which can be edited to suit a user’s requirements. These positions
are saved to the camera memory to optimize media capture
events. If no lens position is set for the event, the camera will
continue to use the current position.
The CCFC-PTZ allows for the position of the camera to be moved
as well as setting the zoom and focus. When moving the camera
the arrows will move the camera approximately 50% of the
viewable area, therefore a zoomed in image will allow for fine
movements and zoomed out images allow for large movements.
As with the general setup of the CCFC please ensure that the
configured lens position is associated with the capture mode.

9. Pan Tilt Mount
The camera enclosure is designed to be environmentally sealed
for outdoor installations. The enclosure provides protection from
moisture or high humidity. It is not intended for operation under
water. All that is required is an appropriate mounting fixture.
Figure 3-1 CCFC Pan Tilt Base
The camera is equipped with a set of three ¼-20 threaded
mounting holes (see Figure 22-2). These mounting holes are
centered along the bottom of the camera and are spaced 1.0” (25.4
mm) apart from one another. At least two of the ¼-20 threaded
holes are required for mounting the camera. Use the two supplied
¼”bolts with washer and lock washer to affix the camera to the
pan tilt mount.

10. Maintenance
The CCFC-PTZ require no maintenance for the Pan Tilt Base.
