GETTING STARTED
The previous chapter described the installation of MxEasy. In this chapter, you will learn
everything you need to know to get started with MxEasy.
When you launch the program for the first time,
MxEasy Wizard
automatically finds all
MOBOTIX cameras that are available in the network and guides you through the initial
configuration for the selected cameras. You can then set up the cameras quickly and
easily using MxEasy.

3.1 Using MxEasy For The First Time
3.1.1 Searching MOBOTIX Cameras
When you launch MxEasy for the first time,
MxEasy Wizard
automatically starts searching
for MOBOTIX cameras and displays all detected cameras in a list. The camera list will be
updated automatically as soon as new MOBOTIX cameras are connected to or removed
from the network.
Note
If MxEasy does not find any cameras (the camera selection list contains no entries
in this case), check the firewall settings of your computer. If necessary, customize
the settings for MxEasy to allow connections to and from MxEasy. If you do not
have permission to modify these settings on your computer, contact your system
administrator for assistance.
