40. cbcamerica com USER MANUAL Single Capture Single Capture is a newly introduced work mode available on MP cameras of model MP1 MP2 and MP5 This work mode is designed for application scenarios where a single image is to be captured when an external event triggers the camera s auxiliary input Possible application areas include license plate capturing door control systems photo booths etc When single capture is activated the camera stops sending live video and enters an endless loop to check external trigger events The software that communicates with the camera must send image requests constantly and check whether the camera s responses contain images When there is no event the camera responds to image requests with an empty data packet When an event occurs the camera responds to the most recent image request with the captured image Single capture function is primarily designed for low light applications where an external flash is needed When there is enough light the camera automatically switches to a regular High Speed mode with short exposure time about 1 2 ms without triggering the flash To use the single capture function properly the camera must be physically connected to an external trigger source as input and a flash as output Then the camera should go through a calibration process to set up a working environment In MP100 software under Exposure Single Capture function group there is a button
