M12 Camera Manual Part 1

1.5.5 Starting the Camera Using the Factory IP Address

If the camera's IP address is not known any more, you can start the camera with its
factory IP address. Section 3.6, Starting the Camera Using the Factory IP Address ,
describes this procedure in more detail.

1.5.6 Resetting the Camera to Factory Defaults

All settings of the MOBOTIX camera can be reset to the factory default settings. This
makes sense if you have, for example, obtained a camera without any information
or you would like to reset all settings after testing the camera. In order to perform
this procedure, you need to have access to the administration area of the camera
(admins group). Open Admin Menu > Reset ... to reset the camera to factory de-
faults.
Note: In contrast to the method described in section 3.6, Starting the Camera
Using the Factory IP Address ,
when resetting the camera to factory defaults. Likewise, the
word will be reset.

1.5.7 Activating Event Control for Security Applications

In its default configuration, the camera's event control and video motion detection
features are not enabled. In order to activate event control as a whole, open Se-
tup Menu > General Event Settings and activate the Arming switch or click on the
Arm & Record softbutton of the browser interface. The video motion detection
window is visible again (dotted frame in the center of the live image) and the ca-
mera stores images as soon as the video motion window detects movements.

1.5.8 Deactivating Text and Logo Options

As the camera arming has been deactivated in its default configuration (see prece-
ding section), the MOBOTIX camera only displays the text WWW.MOBOTIX.COM,
the time stamp and the MOBOTIX logo at the top of the image. Once the camera
arming has been activated, the text at the bottom of the live image (event, action
and messaging symbols) will also appear.
If the camera is armed, you can deactivate the status text at the bottom and the
text at the top left corner of the live image by setting Text Display in the Setup Me-
nu > Text & Display Settings dialog to Off . Setting Text Display to Date & Time will
only display the time stamp in the live image. In order to hide the logo in the live
image, open Admin Menu > Logo Profiles and set Logo Display to Disable .

1.5.9 Deactivating the Daily Reboot of the Camera

In its default configuration, the MOBOTIX camera will automatically reboot every
morning at 3:36 am. In very rare cases, external influences (e.g. radiation in high
locations) can lead to camera malfunctions. The automatic reboot will refresh the
camera's memory and will ensure proper operation without requiring any interac-
tion on the part of the user.
