MxEasy User Manual: System Configuration
Assigning Cameras To An Environment
Cameras can be assigned to an environment by activating or deactivating them in Camera
Management or in the Camera List. Cameras that are not accessible in an environment or
should not be available can be hidden without having to remove them completely from
the system.
Assigning cameras to an environment in Camera Management:
1. Open Camera Management via the
View | Camera Management menu.
2.
Activate or deactivate the checkboxes for the cameras that should belong or no longer
belong to the current environment.
3. Close Camera Management.
Assigning cameras to an environment in the Camera List:
1. Open the Camera List via the
Cameras| Show Cameras menu.
2. Activate or deactivate the checkboxes for the cameras that should belong or no longer
belong to the current environment
.
3. Close the Camera List.
4.8.3 Connecting Remote Cameras Using DynDNS
MxEasy cannot automatically detect cameras that are located outside the local (WLAN)
network; these cameras must be added manually in the Camera List. The cameras, however,
are typically connected via a DSL Internet connection that has dynamic IP addresses.
DynDNS (dynamic domain name system) is the perfect way to access your system. This
protocol does not rely on one (frequently changing) IP address (for example, 213.117.53.215)
to provide access; instead, it utilizes a custom name that you can register with a DynDNS
service provider (for example, www.dyndns.org). The integrated DynDNS client in your local
router transmits the new IP address to the DynDNS service provider daily or each time a
change is made. The camera can then be selected by means of its DynDNS name (e.g.,
Fritz-Mueller.dyndns.org:19801).
Note
The IP addresses given here for cameras, routers and ports, as well as the DynDNS name
“Fritz-Mueller.dyndns.org,“ are merely examples. Never use the names or ports given
here; instead, set up your own names and ports for DynDNS access to the cameras.
Caution
We recommend purchasing flat-rate Internet access for cameras and routers; other
access plans could result in high connection costs.
Make sure that you have changed the default access data for the cameras (user name
“admin“ and password “meinsm“)!
