Click on OK to add the selected cameras to the Open Video Sources dialog.
Anytime you connect a new camera to the local network, you can initiate the
search in the Open Video Sources dialog again by pushing the
button.
If the desired MOBOTIX cameras are shown as
OK in the video source list (status
OK ), proceed to the Selecting Video Sources section further below.
Configuring MOBOTIX Cameras for a Different Network
Using Bonjour, MxControlCenter finds not only cameras on the same subnet (net-
work range) but also MOBOTIX cameras located in other subnets (status
Dif-
ferent subnet
). 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
about the complicated details of 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.
Right-click on a camera, then click on
Configure network in the context menu and
MxControlCenter will automatically reconfigure this camera so that it is “inte-
grated” into your existing subnet. However, MxControlCenter first needs some
information about the subnet into which the camera will be integrated. You can
enter this information in the Configure Cameras dialog that opens automatically.
If your computer gets its IP
address automatically from a
DHCP server, then this is cer-
tainly the best choice for the
new camera and most likely for
all other cameras which have
been found in a different subnet
(Apply to all selected cameras
checkbox).
If you have assigned a fixed IP
address to your computer, you
will certainly prefer to assign
fixed IP addresses (issued by your system administrator) to every camera. In most
cases, you should enter a similar configuration as the one found for your com-
puter's Network Connections in the Properties of Internet protocol (TCP/IP) dia-
log.
