Run the Quick Installation: After booting a new MOBOTIX camera, accessing the admin-
istration 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 deactivate 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 buffer
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 cam-
era. Image programs provide a quick and simple method for adjusting the camera to
the application scenario as they perform several configuration 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 640x480 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).
