• RuntheQuickInstallation:AerbootingtheMOBOTIXcamerafortherst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 deactivate 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-specicfeaturesbased
on the user groups.
• Deactivate the automatic reboot: In its factory state, every MOBOTIX camera will auto-

storage,orSDcardswillNOTbeaected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 cam-
era. Image programs provide a quick and simple method for adjusting the camera to
theapplicationscenarioastheyperformseveralcongurationstepsatonce(Image
Programs Quick Control).
• Settheimagesizeofthe liveimage: By factory default, all MOBOTIX cameras are
delivered with an image size of 1280x960 pixels (MEGA). You can select the desired
image size using the Image Size Quick Control.
• Adjust the exposure: The automatic exposure control of the MOBOTIX camera uses
individuallycongurablewindowstodeterminethebestimageexposure.Openthe

and storage parameters (Setup Menu > Event Settings, Setup Menu > Recording and
Admin Menu > Recording to External File Server/Flash Device).

alarms. These alarms can be adjusted to your needs and you can assign them to one or
