3.10.1 Activating/Deactivating Privacy Mode
If you want to lock access to the cameras for a specific time period
and disallow all recordings, then you can activate the Privacy
mode. This always aects all cameras integrated in the current
network environment (see Section 4.8 “Configuring Dierent
Network Environments“). This lock can only be released on the
computer used to lock the cameras; unlocking the cameras
from other computers is only possible with defined access data
(user name and password). The Privacy mode is signaled on
the cameras with a change in the LED flashing pattern.
Activating Privacy Mode
Activate the mode under File | Privacy Mode or by clicking on the Privacy Mode button. A
system prompt opens. Use the automatically generated access data or enter a user name
and password of your own making.
If you activate the Don't ask me again checkbox, then the system prompt will not be shown
the next time the Privacy mode is activated, and the generated access data will automatically
be accepted. If you would like to activate the Privacy mode later from another computer,
this is only possible with this access data. If this is the case, then the Don't ask me again
checkbox should not be activated!
Messages that are hidden when the Don't ask me again checkbox is activated can be
made to reappear if necessary. To do this, open the “General“ tab under Tools | Preferences
and click on the Restore button in the “Hidden Messages“ area.
Eects of The Privacy Mode
• MxEasy creates random access data (user name and password), enters this in the
integrated cameras and deactivates all other users. It is only possible to deactivate
Privacy mode without this access data on the computer on which the Privacy mode
was activated.
•
Image generation is completely disabled on the cameras - all windows are replaced
by a red lock icon. The Privacy Mode button is now white and the lock is closed.
• Recordings are completely deactivated.
• The cameras' sound channel is completely disabled.
•
All integrated cameras show a unique flashing pattern to shown that they are in this
mode (see below).
