3 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, Macintosh, 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 network
cable (see Section 2.9)
2. Set up the camera's network parameters:
• Manually using a Web browser (see Section 3.2.1, then Section 3.2.2)
• Automatically using MxControlCenter/MxEasy (see Sections 3.2.3 and 3.2.4)
or via DHCP (see Section 3.2.5)
3. Congure the camera using the browser-based user interface, with MxControlCenter
or with MxEasy.
Every MOBOTIX camera comes preconfigured with a fixed 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.
