Introduction To MxEasy
Once the cameras are integrated into the system, you can use MxEasy to comfortably control
the most important functions of the connected cameras. Virtual zooming, panning and
tilting in the live image are just as easy as activating manual or scheduled recording times.
The video data recorded by the cameras can then be viewed and exported in dierent
formats (e.g., MxPEG or AVI with dierent codecs) at a later time.
Easy Operation
To keep MxEasy simple and easy to use, the camera operation with MxEasy has been
streamlined to include only the most important features. MxEasy is easy to understand and
simple to use, so the risk of operating errors is minimal. The buttons are marked with easy-
to-understand icons and descriptions of each button (“Tooltip“) are displayed automatically.
The user interface has also been optimized for use with touch panels.
If any problems occur, you can quickly and easily undo any incorrect settings using the
automatic configuration backup feature.
Security
MxEasy provides you with four dierent access levels (
guest, user, owner, administrator ),
allowing people with dierent levels of authorization to access the camera images. MxEasy
can also be installed on several computers at the same time without causing access-related
conflicts. Optional HTTPS encryption (using certificates generated by the camera or created
by the administrator) helps you to prevent unauthorized users from accessing MxEasy.
Operation Modes
Dierent operation modes enable you to adapt to a variety of application scenarios: In the
Switched O mode, live images are transmitted but not recorded. In the Alarm Planner
mode, alarms are analyzed and saved according to the times specified and the events
determined in the alarm planner. In the Normal mode, recordings and alarm notifications
are done independently of time schedules according to the alarm configuration settings
in the camera.
In the event of an alarm, the Manual Alarm can also be triggered. All cameras will then
record video and audio data for a specific period of time. The Privacy mode serves to
protect all integrated cameras from being accessed until this mode is turned o again. It
also switches o all recording and alarm functions while it is activated.
Why MxEasy And Not MxControlCenter?
MxEasy is the perfect choice for all small and mid-sized video security systems using cameras
connected in a network. MxEasy has fewer functions than the professional MxControlCenter
video management software, because, as its name implies, MxEasy is specially developed
for ease of use. All of the main features of the MOBOTIX concept are available in MxEasy.
When planning your
MOBOTIX system,
remember that, with
MxEasy, you can con-
nect and manage up to
16 cameras. For larger
video security systems,
we recommend using
MxControlCenter
