Cameras Are Found But Are Located In A Dierent Subnet

The symbols in the ﬁrst column and the legend in the dialog indicate whether you can

access a particular camera directly from the MxControlCenter, which is the case for all

cameras designated with

(OK) . Cameras designated with (dierent subnet) are

located in a dierent subnet. This usually applies to new cameras or cameras that have

been reset to their factory settings.

Note

MxControlCenter ﬁnds all MOBOTIX cameras, even when the computer and the

cameras are not located in the same subnet.

Once you have marked all of the desired video sources in the list with OK, you can now

select those that you wish to display and manage in MxControlCenter. The live image is

automatically displayed in the preview window when a camera is selected to help you

identify the cameras.

For cameras marked with Dierent subnet or if you want to add additional video sources,

follow the instructions in the following sections. You can also display the selected cameras

directly in a layout. For more information, see Section Creating A New Layout.

Reconﬁguring Cameras In A Dierent Subnet

If one or more MOBOTIX cameras are displayed with the status Dierent subnet (for

example, cameras with a factory IP address), MxControlCenter automatically oers to

conﬁgure the network settings of these cameras. In this case, the application displays the

dialog box shown here after you have clicked on the “Add selected video sources” button.

Click on Yes to conﬁgure the cameras to the subnet of your computer.

A DHCP server automatically assigns IP addresses for network devices in most networks

so that you can automatically select the default setting Get IP address automatically

(DHCP) in the Conﬁgure selected cameras dialog box.
