3.6.5 Resetting The Camera To Factory Settings

All settings of the MOBOTIX camera can be permanently 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 administrative access to the camera (admins group). Open
Admin Menu > Reset to reset the camera to factory defaults.
Note: All defined users are deleted and the admin password is reset to the factory
default when you reset the camera using Admin Menu > Reset. If you want to maintain
the existing users, use the method described in Section 3.2.6, «Starting The Camera
With The Factory IP Address» .

3.6.6 Activate Event Control And Motion Detection

In its default configuration, the camera's event control and video motion detection features
are not enabled. In order to activate event-controlled recording, open Setup Menu >
General Event Settings and activate the Arming switch. Another method is to click on the
Arm & Record softbutton in the browser's user interface. The camera displays the motion
detection window in the live image (dotted frame in the center) and the camera auto-
matically stores images as soon as the motion detection window detects movements.

3.6.7 Deactivate Text And Logo Options

As camera arming is deactivated in its default configuration (see preceding section), the
MOBOTIX camera displays only 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, messaging and recording symbols)
will also appear.
You can deactivate the status bar at the bottom of the live image and the text bar in the
top left-hand corner by setting Text Display in the Setup Menu > Text & Display Settings
dialog box to Off. Setting Text Display to Date and Time will only display the time stamp
in the live image. To hide the logo in the live image, open Admin Menu > Logo Profiles
and set Logo Display to Deactivated.

3.6.8 Deactivating The Camera Reboot

Per factory default, the MOBOTIX camera automatically reboots once a week between
3 a.m. and 4 a.m. The reason for this is that external influences (for example, 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 interaction on
the part of the user. If desired, you can deactivate the automatic reboot of the camera in
the Admin Menu > Time Tasks dialog box.
