4.2 Managing Cameras
4.2.1 Adding New Cameras
To connect new MOBOTIX cameras in MxEasy, open the MxEasy Assistant via the Cameras|
Add Cameras menu. New cameras are detected automatically and listed in the Select A
Camera overview as cameras that are not yet integrated. To integrate cameras, follow the
instructions in
Section 2.3.2 “Selecting And Integrating New Cameras“ .
4.2.2 Renaming And Editing Individual Cameras
Renaming The Current Camera In The Main Window
To rename a camera, double-click on the camera name shown in the upper information
bar in the main window. Enter a new name and save it. This also changes the network
name of the camera.
Editing The Current Camera In The Main Window
To edit a camera, open the “Properties“ window via the Cameras|
Edit Cameras menu.
Here you can edit the camera name, configure access data (IP
address, secure connection, proxy, user name, password) and adjust
the access mode.
You can also edit the network parameters of another environment for
the camera shown (see Section 4.8 “Configuring Dierent Network
Environments“
).
4.2.3 Renaming And Editing Cameras In The
Camera List
You can edit individual cameras in the Camera List, and
it is also possible to edit multiple cameras in one step,
but only for some functions. Open the Camera List via the
Cameras| Show Cameras menu. All of the cameras that
are accessible in the network are shown. Cameras that
are already integrated in MxEasy are shown in bold print.
Renaming A Selected Camera
Select the camera that you want. Double-click on the camera
name or press F2 and change the name. Save the changes
by pressing the Enter key. The changed names are stored
when you close the Camera List. This change, however, is
only local; the camera’s network name does not change.
