3.4 The First Image of the Camera

Once the Ethernet connection has been established (see section 3.4.1, Preparing
the Ethernet Connection ), you have the following possibilities to see the first image
of the camera:
• Direct access using a browser (section 3.4.2, The First Image in the Browser )
• Display the camera using MxViewer (free Windows client for MOBOTIX
cameras; section 3.4.2, The First Image in MxViewer )
Open the browser-based user interface of the camera to complete the remaining
configuration tasks (see section 4.3, The Live Screen in the Browser , in the Software
Manual ).

3.4.1 Preparing the Ethernet Connection

For this example, we will use a camera with the factory IP address 10.1.0.99.
Replace this IP address by the IP address of your
address on a small sticker on the camera housing. Accessing the camera is
always the same and is independent of the connection type: simply enter the cam-
era's IP address in the address field of the browser (see section 3.4.2, The First
Image in the Browser ).
Pressing the "R" key on the back of the camera will let the camera
announce the current IP address of the camera using its voice
output feature.
Your computer has to have a network or a wireless interface, and it should be in
the same subnet as the camera. If your network also uses IP addresses of a class
A network (e.g. 10.x.x.x, network mask 255.0.0.0), you should be able to
access the camera directly (provided no other network device uses the same IP
address).
Determine the IP address of your computer:
• Open a command shell
(Windows) or a console
(Linux/Unix) and enter
the following command:
Windows 2000/XP: ipconfig
Linux/UNIX: ifconfig
You will find the IP address of your Windows computer after IP address; for Linux/
UNIX computers, search for the inet address parameter of the eth0 device (the
first network interface). If your computer does not use an IP address in the
10.x.x.x range, you should change or expand the network configuration of your
computer (see below).
