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, Macintosh, 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
Chapter 2, «Installation»)
2.
Set up the camera’s network parameters:
–
Manually via a web browser
(see
Section 3.2.1, «Manually Setting Up The Network
Parameters In A Browser» and below)
–
Automatically with MxControlCenter/MxEasy
(see
Section 3.2.3 and Section 3.2.4)
or
via DHCP
(see
Section 3.2.7, «Starting The Camera With An Automatic IP Address
(DHCP)»)
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. In order to access a MOBOTIX camera via the network, the camera
needs to obtain an IP address in the same address range. You can
set up the network
parameters of the MOBOTIX camera using one of the following methods
:
Manually
,
using
MxCC
and
MxEasy
or by
DHCP
.
