M15 Camera Manual: Operating The Camera

3.6.2 General Browser Settings

• Run the Quick Installation: After booting the MOBOTIX camera for the first time,
accessing the administration menu (the Admin Menu button) will automatically start
the Quick Installation. The Quick Installation assistant helps you in setting the most
important parameters of the camera. For security reasons, you should set your own
administrator password and disable public access to the camera.
• Disable public access: Guest users are only allowed to access the Guest screen of
the camera without entering a password. If this is not required, you should deac-
tivate public access (Admin Menu > Quick Installation or Admin Menu > Users
and Passwords).
• Add users and assign access rights: You can add users and user groups and assign
the desired rights (Admin Menu > Users and Passwords, Admin Menu > Group
Access Control Lists (ACL)), similar to a computer operating system. This approach
allows individual access rights to be assigned or denied to camera-specific features
based on the user groups.
• Deactivate the automatic reboot: In its factory state, every MOBOTIX camera will
automatically reboot every morning at 3:36 a.m. All images in the camera's storage
buffer will be deleted during this reboot. Images stored on external file servers, internal
flash storage, or SD cards will NOT be affected by this reboot. Make sure that you
deactivate the automatic reboot if this is not desired (Admin Menu > Time Tasks).
• Optimize the image settings: 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. You
should, however, set an image program according to the application scenario of
the camera. Image programs provide a quick and simple method for adjusting the
camera to the application scenario as they perform several configuration steps at
once (Image Programs Quick Control).
• Set the resolution of the live image: By factory default, all MOBOTIX cameras are
delivered with an image resolution of 640 x 480 pixels. You can select the desired
resolution using the Resolution Quick Control.
• Adjust the exposure: The automatic exposure control of the MOBOTIX camera uses
individually configurable windows to determine the best image exposure. Open the
Exposure Control Quick Control and select a predefined set of exposure windows. If
required, you can also define custom exposure windows (Setup Menu > Exposure
Settings).
• Activate event control and recording: By factory default, the MOBOTIX camera's
event control is disabled. Click on the Arm & Record button to activate event control.
This will activate motion detection and recording. Cameras with integrated flash
memory (MOBOTIX R models and models with SD card) will use the flash memory
by default to store the image and video data (recording target). If desired, you can
set additional events and adjust the settings of the recording and storage param-
eters (Setup Menu > Event Settings, Setup Menu > Recording and Admin Menu >
Recording to External File Server/Flash Device).
