OPERATING THE CAMERA
3.1
Manual and Automatic Operation – Overview
MOBOTIX cameras do not require any extra software. Thus, you can set up and operate the
MOBOTIX camera using a JavaScript-enabled browser on all common operating systems
(such as Windows, Linux, Apple, etc.). As an alternative, you can also use the MOBOTIX
applications MxControlCenter and MxEasy. Follow these steps to set up the camera:
1. Connect the camera to the network. Power is supplied directly via the Ethernet
cable (see Section 2.7, «Network and Power Connection» ).
2. Set up the camera's network parameters:
– Manually using a web browser (see Section 3.2.1, «Manually Setting Up the
Network Parameters in a Browser» and below)
– Automatically using MxControlCenter/MxEasy (see Section 3.2.3 and
Section 3.2.4 ) or via DHCP (see Section 3.2.6, «Starting the Camera with an
Automatic IP Address (DHCP)» )
3. Configure the camera using the web-based user interface, MxControlCenter
or MxEasy.
Every MOBOTIX camera comes preconfigured with a static IP address in the 10.x.x.x range
(for example, 10.8.0.99). However, local computer networks usually have IP addresses
in the 172 or 192 ranges. In order to access a MOBOTIX camera via the network, the camera
needs to obtain an IP address in the same address range. You can set up the network
parameters of the MOBOTIX camera using one of the following methods: Manually,
using MxCC and MxEasy or by DHCP.
