3.4 The First Image from the Camera

As soon as the Ethernet connection (see section 3.4.1, Preparing the Ethernet Con-
nection ) or the ISDN connection (see section 3.4.2, Preparing the ISDN Connection )
has been established, you have the following possibilities to get the first image
from the camera:
• Direct access using a browser (section 3.4.4, The First Image in the
Browser ).
• Display the camera using MxControlCenter (free Windows client for
MOBOTIX cameras; section 3.4.7, The First Image in MxControlCenter )
Open the browser-based user interface of the camera to complete the re-
maining 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 with the IP address of your
address on a small sticker on the camera. Accessing the camera is always the
same and is independent of the connection type: simply enter the camera's IP ad-
dress in the address field of the browser (see section 3.4.4, The First Image in the
Browser ).
If you would like to have a running camera
ply activate the L button once using the magnetic side of the custom
tool.
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 ad-
dress).
Determine the IP address of your computer:
• Open a command shell
(Windows) or a terminal
(Linux/UNIX/OS X) and en-
ter the following com-
mand:
Windows 2000/XP: ipconfig
Linux/UNIX/OS X: ifconfig
You will find the IP address of your Windows computer under IP address; for Linux/
UNIX/OS X 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 the network configuration of your computer
or add a new IP address (see below).
