D12 Camera Manual Part 1
Click on OK to add the selected cameras to the Open Video Sources dialog.
Anytime you connect a new camera to the local network, you can initiate the
search in the Open Video Sources dialog again by pushing the
button.
If the desired MOBOTIX cameras are highlighted in the video source list, proceed to
Selecting Video Sources .
Configuring MOBOTIX Cameras for a Different Network
Using Bonjour, MxControlCenter finds not only cameras on the same subnet (net-
work range) but also MOBOTIX cameras located in other subnets (status:
Different subnet ). You will not be able to establish any connection to cameras in a
different network or subnet (without going into much further detail about the com-
plicated details of TCP/IP network configurations). This can happen, for example,
when a camera with a factory IP address is connected to a network in which a
DHCP server automatically assigns the IP addresses.
Click on Configure network in the context menu and MxControlCenter will auto-
matically reconfigure this camera so that it is "integrated" into your existing sub-
net. However, MxControlCenter first needs some information about the subnet into
which the camera will be integrated. You can make these changes in the Config-
ure Cameras dialog that is opening automatically.
If your computer gets its IP address automatically from a DHCP server, then this is
certainly the best choice for the new camera and most likely for all other cameras
which have been found in a different subnet (Apply to all inaccessible cameras
checkbox).
If you have assigned a fixed IP
address to your computer, you
will certainly prefer to assign
fixed IP addresses (issued by
your system administrator) to
every camera. In most cases,
you should enter a similar con-
figuration as the one found for
your computer's Network Con-
nections in the Properties of
Internet protocol (TCP/IP) dialog.
