Q24M Camera Manual: Operating The Camera
Reconfiguring Network Addresses Of Cameras
Using Bonjour*, MxEasy finds not only cameras on the same network as your computer,
but also MOBOTIX cameras located in other subnets (the Invalid Network status). In such a
case, you would not be able to establish any connection to cameras in a different network
or subnet (without going into much further detail regarding TCP/IP network configurations).
This is possible, 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. MxEasy can
automatically configure such a camera so that it is "integrated" into your existing network.
To do so, you only have to select the affected camera in the list and then click on Continue.
After a security prompt, a new dialog box for configuring the selected camera is displayed.
If your computer automatically obtains its IP address from a DHCP server, then this is
certainly the best choice for that specific camera and most likely for all other cameras that
have been found in a different subnet (Get IP address automatically option).
If you have assigned a static IP address to your computer, you will probably want to assign
static IP addresses (issued by your system administrator) to every camera (the Use this
IP address option). Normally, you enter the same configuration used for the network
settings of your computer.
When you click on OK, the selected cameras are automatically reconfigured and they are
located in the same subnet as the computer.

3.2.5 Integrating And Displaying Cameras

After a camera has been reconfigured, it has the status Accessible and can be integrated
into MxEasy. The MxEasy Assistant then displays the Define Integration Mode in MxEasy
dialog box.
