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 in order to
set up the camera:
1. Connect the camera to the network. Power is supplied directly via the Ethernet
cable (see Chapter 2)
2. Set up the camera's network interface:
• Manually using a web browser (see Section 3.2.1 f)
• Automatically using MxControlCenter/MxEasy (see Sections 3.2.3 and 3.2.4)
or via DHCP (see Section 3.2.6)
3. Configure the camera using the browser-based user interface, with MxControlCenter
or with MxEasy.
Every MOBOTIX camera comes preconfigured with a fixed IP address in the 10.x.x.x range
(for example, 10.8.0.99). 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 get 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.
