Use Secure Connections (HTTPS/SSL):
If necessary, you can activate encryption
for all data transferred via HTTPS between MxEasy and the MOBOTIX cameras. We
strongly recommend using this option for security-related applications. Note that
SSL encryption will place a higher load on the network bandwidth.
For additional information, see the section
SSL Encryption and Certificates in the Software
Manual.
5.2.5 Time Settings
Each MOBOTIX camera has a battery-buffered
real-time clock that always keeps the time
correct, even in the event of a power failure.
However you need to make sure that all
cameras connected to MxEasy are syn-
chronized for playback and event tracking.
You can do this using a time server that
synchronizes all cameras to the exact same
time. Use this dialog to enter or select a
time server. Note that you can also specify
a MOBOTIX camera as a time server.
•
Synchronize with Time Server (NTP):
Select a time server from the list or enter the
name of your preferred NTP time server. If the MOBOTIX cameras are set to auto-
matically obtain their network data via DHCP, make sure that a valid DNS server is
also entered in the MOBOTIX cameras (the
Connection
tab).
•
Synchronize with Master Camera:
Alternatively, you can select one of the cameras
connected to MxEasy as a time server.
For additional information, see the section
Date and Time/Time Zones and Time Servers
in the
Software Manual.
Hint
If the cameras are connected to the Internet, you can select a time server from the
drop-down menu. You can also enter a time server in the local network if one is
available. If neither a time server on the Internet nor a local time server is available,
you should specify one of the cameras connected to MxEasy as the master camera
for the purpose of time synchronization. Doing so will at least ensure that all cameras
remain synchronized with each other and hence allow saved video sequences to
be played back in a synchronized manner.
