Table 12-26 Wi-Fi Power Modes
Power
Mode
Operating Characteristics
Always On
Wi-Fi connection is always powered on.
Low Power
Save Mode
Wi-Fi will only power up to transmit files after a capture event. A
button press enables the Wi-Fi for 5 min.
Attaching the external trigger wire (blue) to a power source (>2.5
Vdc, maximum 30 Vdc) turns the Wi-Fi on until power is
removed.
Disabled
Wi-Fi connection is disabled (does not power up). Files cannot be
transmitted over Wi-Fi. A button press will enable the Wi-Fi for 5
min, network activity will not reset this timer. Holding the
External Trigger in the active state enables the Wi-Fi.
Deactivating the External Trigger Input will immediately power
off the Wi-Fi.
One of the main factors in determining which power mode to use
is the power consumption budget available for the camera.
If the camera is operating from an AC main power supply, the
camera will have the best performance characteristics in the Fully
On State. On the other hand, if the camera needs to operate from a
battery for long periods of time, then the Off State is more
suitable.
There are two methods to wake the Wi-Fi up when it is
configured for a low power mode. First, pressing the Setup Button
on the back of the camera will wake the Wi-Fi out of Low Power
Save Mode and Disabled for 5 min. Any network activity on the
web interface will also reset the timer in Low Power Save Mode.
Network activity will not reset the timer in Disabled Mode.
Second, by holding the External Trigger Input in the active state,
the Wi-Fi will wake out of any low power mode after a period of
10 sec. Similarly, network activity will reset the 5 min timer in
Low Power Save Mode, but not in Disabled Mode.

The CCFC is optimized for nighttime media captures. During
times of reduced light, the camera automatically increases its
