D15 Camera Manual: Operating the Camera

3.6.2 General Browser Settings

• Run the Quick Installation: After booting a new MOBOTIX camera, accessing the
administration menu for the first time will automatically start the Quick Installation
assistant (Admin Menu button). The Quick Installation assistant helps you in setting
the most important parameters of the camera. For security reasons, you should set
your own administrator password and disable public access to the camera.
• Disable public access: Guest users are only allowed to access the Guest screen of
the camera without entering a password. If this is not required, you should deac-
tivate public access (Admin Menu > Quick Installation or Admin Menu > Users
and Passwords).
• Add users and assign access rights: Similar to a computer operating system, you
can add users and user groups and assign the desired rights (Admin Menu > Users
and Passwords, Admin Menu > Group Access Control Lists (ACL)). This approach
allows individual access rights to be assigned or denied to camera-specific features
based on the user groups.
• Deactivate the automatic reboot: In its factory state, every MOBOTIX camera will
automatically reboot at 3:36 a.m. every day. All images in the camera's storage buf-
fer will be deleted during this reboot. Images stored on external file servers, internal
flash storage, or SD cards will NOT be affected by this reboot. Make sure that you
deactivate the automatic reboot if this is not desired (Admin Menu > Time Tasks).
• Optimize the image settings: The factory image settings of MOBOTIX cameras
deliver excellent images for most application scenarios and should therefore not
be changed. If you do wish to make changes, your changes should be minor and
gradual. You should, however, set an image program according to the application
scenario of the camera. Image programs provide a quick and simple method for
adjusting the camera to the application scenario as they perform several configura-
tion steps at once (Image Programs Quick Control).
• Set the resolution of the live image: By default, all MOBOTIX cameras are factory-
set to an image resolution of 640 x 480 pixels. You can select the desired resolution
using the Resolution Quick Control.
• Adjust the exposure: The automatic exposure control of the MOBOTIX camera uses
individually configurable exposure windows to determine the best image exposure.
Open the Exposure Control Quick Control and select a predefined set of exposure
windows. If required, you can also define custom exposure windows (Setup Menu >
Exposure Settings).
• Activate event control and recording: By default, the MOBOTIX camera's event
control is disabled. Click on the Arm & Record button to activate event control. This
will activate motion detection and recording. Cameras with integrated flash memory
(MOBOTIX R models and models with an SD card) will automatically use the flash
memory to store image and video data (recording target). If desired, you can set
additional events and adjust the settings of the recording and storage parameters
(Setup Menu > Event Settings, Setup Menu > Recording and Admin Menu >
Recording to External File Server / Flash Device).
