Basic Camera Configuration - Mobotix D12 Manuals

D12 Camera Manual Part 1
• The image settings are already optimized
The factory image settings of MOBOTIX cameras deliver excellent images for
most application scenarios and should not be changed. If you do wish to
make changes, your changes should be minor and gradual. If you would like
to reset changes without resetting the complete configuration to factory de-
faults, you can use the Factory button at the bottom of the dialog to reset
only this dialog's settings. If you would like to reset all image settings, you
may do so using the Manage Settings > Restore Image Settings pull-down
menu above the image on the Live screen.
• All changes are temporary
All changes to the configuration are only temporary and can thus be tested
easily. Restoring the old configuration settings can be achieved using the Re-
store button in most dialogs or by running Admin Menu > Restore last
stored configuration from flash (see also section 5.9, Managing Settings , in
the Software Manual ).
Once you have finished configuring the camera, you should always
the settings in the camera's permanent
Configuration section of the administration menu (Admin Menu > Store cur-
rent configuration into flash memory) or in each dialog (clicking on Set at
the bottom of each dialog will temporarily set the changes; clicking on Close
will ask you to store the complete configuration in the camera's permanent
memory).
The Configuration section of the administration menu provides more func-
tions for storing, copying and managing camera settings. For additional in-
formation on this topic, see chapter 5, Basic Camera Configuration , in the
Software Manual .
• A camera that keeps time
Apart from a multitude of possibilities for controlling the camera using time
(time tables, holiday and vacation, scheduled tasks, etc.), the camera can
also synchronize its internal clock. This allows you to keep the camera in
synch manually with a computer or fully automatic using a time server. The
camera can use NTP time servers or time servers providing Time Protocol
(RFC 868). For additional information on this topic, see section 5.4.2, Date
and Time / Time Zones and Time Servers , in the Software Manual .
• MOBOTIX cameras can do "More"
In order to provide a better overview, some of
the camera dialogs hide less-often used options
when showing the dialog. These dialogs have a
More button in the bottom right corner; click on it
to display the advanced options. If all options
are displayed, the Less button appears. Clicking
this button will hide the advanced options.
