Q26 Camera Manual: Operating the Camera
3.6.4 Using the Boot Options of the Camera
• To
reset the camera to factory settings and to use the factory IP address
, please use
boot option 2 as described in Section 3.2.4, «Boot Options of the Camera».
• To start the camera as a DHCP client and to automatically obtain an IP address ,
please use
boot option 3 as described in Section 3.2.4, «Boot Options of the Camera».
Note
All defined users are deleted and the admin password is reset to the factory default when
you reset the camera using
Admin Menu > Reset. Use boot option 3 as described in
Section 3.2.4, «Boot Options of the Camera» if you would like to maintain the existing users.
3.6.5 Activating Event Control and Motion Detection
In its default configuration, the camera’s event control and video motion detection features
are not enabled. In order to activate event-controlled recording, open
Setup Menu > General
Event Settings and activate the Arming switch. Another method is to click on the Arm &
Record softbutton in the browser’s user interface. The camera displays the motion detection
window in the live image (dotted frame in the center) and the camera automatically stores
images as soon as the motion detection window detects movements.
3.6.6 Deactivating Text and Logo Options
As camera arming is deactivated in the camera’s default configuration (see preceding sec-
tion), the MOBOTIX camera only displays the text
www.mobotix.com
, the time stamp
and the MOBOTIX logo at the top of the image. Once the camera arming has been activated,
the text at the bottom of the live image (event, action, messaging and recording symbols)
will also appear.
You can deactivate the status bar at the bottom of the live image and the text bar in the
top left-hand corner by setting Text Display in the
Setup Menu > Text & Display Settings
dialog box to Off . Setting Text Display to Date and Time will only display the time stamp in
the live image. To hide the logo in the live image, open Admin Menu > Logo Profiles and
set Logo Display to Deactivated .
3.6.7 Deactivating the Camera Reboot
By factory default, the MOBOTIX camera automatically reboots once a week between 3 a.m.
and 4 a.m. The reason for this is that in some rare cases, external influences (for example,
radiation at high altitudes) can sometimes lead to camera malfunctions. The automatic
reboot will refresh the camera’s memory and will ensure proper operation without requiring
any interaction on the part of the user. If desired, you can deactivate the automatic reboot
of the camera in the
Admin Menu > Time Tasks dialog box.
If the dotted rectangle in
the live image is visible,
the camera is armed
Text and logos can be
also deactivated or indi-
vidually configured
