OPERATING THE CAMERA
3.1 Manual And Automatic Operation – Overview
MOBOTIX cameras do not require any extra software. Thus, you can set up and operate the
MOBOTIX camera using a JavaScript-enabled browser on all common operating systems
(such as Windows, Linux, Apple, etc.). As an alternative, you can also use the MOBOTIX
applications MxControlCenter and MxEasy. Follow these steps to set up the camera:
1.
Connect the camera to the network.
Power is supplied directly via the Ethernet
cable (see
Section 2.7, «Network And Power Connection»).
2.
Set up the camera's network parameters:
–
Manually using a web browser
(see
Section 3.2.1)
–
Automatically using MxControlCenter/MxEasy
(see
Section 3.2.3 and
Section 3.2.4) or
via DHCP
(see
Section 3.2.6)
3.
Configure the camera
using the web-based user interface, MxControlCenter
or MxEasy.
Every MOBOTIX camera comes preconfigured with a static IP address in the 10.x.x.x range
(for example,
10.8.0.99
). However, local computer networks usually have IP addresses
in the 172 or 192 ranges. MOBOTIX cameras must therefore also be given an IP address
in this address range to ensure that they can be accessed via the network. You can
set
up the network parameters of a MOBOTIX camera
using one of the following methods:
Manually
, using
MxCC
and
MxEasy
or by
DHCP
.
Camera software
in the browser
