4 CAMERA USER INTERFACE
Once the Ethernet connection has been established (see section 3.4.1 of the
Cam-
era Manual
,
Preparing the Ethernet Connection
), you have the following possibili-
ties to see the first image of the camera:
•Direct access using a browser (section 4.1,
The First Image in the Browser
)
•Display the camera using MxViewer (free Windows client for MOBOTIX
cameras; section 4.2,
The First Image in MxViewer
)
Open the browser-based user interface of the camera to complete the remaining
configuration tasks (see section 4.3,
The Live Screen in the Browser
).
4.1 The First Image in the Browser
Now that you have successfully started the
camera for the first time, you can access the
camera using your preferred browser to see
the live video stream and the user interface.
Internet Explorer, Mozilla, Firefox, Safari,
Camino or any other graphical browser with activated JavaScript is suitable. The
operating system is of no importance, even PDAs can be used without any prob-
lems.

Note
Factory Defaults: Every MOBOTIX camera has its individual factory IP
address (e.g. 10.1.0.99). If you have started the camera using
DHCP or you have set the IP address manually, use the new IP
address (e.g. 192.168.0.99) instead of the factory IP address. Pres-
sing the "R" key of the camera will prompt the camera to announce
its current IP address over the speaker. For additional information on
this topic, see section 3.5,
Starting the Camera With an Automatic IP
Address (DHCP)
, in the corresponding
Camera Manual
.
Troubleshooting: If your web browser does not show the camera's
Live screen after you have entered the IP address, you should try to lo-
cate and resolve the error as described in chapter 12,
Troubleshooting
.
MxViewer: In order to see the live image of the camera, you can also
use other applications or the integrated programming interface of the
MOBOTIX camera. MxViewer for Windows is such an application and
is provided free of charge by MOBOTIX. Besides its ability to display
fast live video of up to 30 cameras with 30 fps each on one PC,
MxViewer also allows recording and playing back video clips with re-
altime audio via the network and can control pan/tilt heads using a
joystick or the mouse. Download the newest version of MxViewer from
the MOBOTIX website. The website contains more information on MO-
BOTIX systems as well as the MxViewer help.
4.1.2 Camera Screens in the Browser
By factory default, the MOBOTIX camera first shows the Live screen. You can set a
different entry page in order to prevent others from changing settings; you can
assign user names and passwords to prevent unauthorized access or you can
restrict access to the current live image only, by setting the Guest screen as entry
page.
The following screens are available:
•Guest screen: Only shows the current live image with reduced frame rate.
•Live screen: Shows the current live image and allows changing the
image and event settings of the camera.
•Playback screen: Shows all recorded images or video clips with
extended functions for searching and downloading images, regardless
of where the images are stored (in the internal or the external ring buffer on
a file server or PC).
•MultiView screen: Shows multiple cameras or the last events in a freely
definable layout.
•PDA screen and PDA Event List: Both screens are optimized for PDAs with a
focus on fast data transmission with low bandwidth requirements (GSM,
GPRS) on devices with small displays (PDAs, mobile phones, sub notebooks).
The PDA Event List in particular gives a quick overview of the last events since
the live image of the camera is not transferred.
For more information on camera screens, see the online help of the camera's
browser interface. Click on the yellow icon in the top right corner of the Live
screen to open the corresponding page of the online help.

4.2 The First Image in MxViewer
The MOBOTIX MxViewer is a free Windows application that allows displaying
multiple MOBOTIX cameras on one computer and provides alarm management
functions. It can easily handle displaying 30 cameras with CIF resolution
(320x240 pixels) at 30 fps each in MxPEG format on one standard PC with Intel
Pentium 4 and 3 GHz.
MxViewer can do quite a bit more than simply display the video and audio data
from MOBOTIX cameras. The unique features of the MOBOTIX MxViewer with one
or more MOBOTIX cameras create a full-featured security system with intelligent
alarm handling, extensive possibilities of arranging the cameras on layouts (Mul-
tiView screens), ability to display cameras that are sending alarm notifications and
integrated camera management functions.

Installing and Starting MxViewer
Follow these steps to install MxViewer:
• Download the newest version of MxViewer:
www.mobotix.com/services/software_downloads/
• Download and install the MSI file (Windows Installer file).
You can also download the EXE file for manual installation:
• Download the EXE file to a suitable folder.
• Create a shortcut by right-clicking on MxViewer.exe in this folder.
• Copy the shortcut to the desktop.
Double-click the shortcut or the program file itself to start MxViewer.
Defining Video Sources
If you start MxViewer for the first time on a computer without having defined any
video sources (MOBOTIX cameras) before, the MxViewer Video Sources dialog will
appear.
Depending on the task at hand, select the appropriate option in the Select video
sources group:
•Scan network for
MOBOTIX cameras
(default): Click on OK to
open the Scan Network
for MOBOTIX Cameras
dialog. The camera will
automatically scan the
subnet for MOBOTIX cam-
eras and will display the
list of camera IP
addresses.
•Define video sources manually: Click on OK to open the Define Video
Sources Manually dialog and manually add the cameras.
In the Layout options group, select Show video sources in default layout. This
will prompt MxViewer to automatically generate a standard layout that comprises
all video sources (i.e. cameras) once they have been defined either automatically
or manually.

MxViewer!
You should always let the
camera search automati-
cally for other MOBOTIX
cameras
Automatically Searching MOBOTIX Cameras in the Same Subnet
MxViewer displays the Scan network for MOBOTIX cameras dialog:
• Click on the Subnet dropdown list and select the
desired subnet.
• Click on Scan to start the camera search.
If MxViewer finds only one subnet, the scanning proc-
ess will start automatically.
In the first pass, MxViewer searches the selected subnet for MOBOTIX cameras
and in the second pass, MxViewer verifies if it can access the cameras.
MxViewer then highlights all cameras in the list, which have a status of
OK
or
Access denied
:
Using the Highlighted Cameras
Click on OK to use the
highlighted
cameras and to include them in the default lay-
out generated by MxViewer:

13/288
Software Camera Manual Part 2
Automatically Searching MOBOTIX Cameras in all Subnets
Future versions of MxViewer will be able to search MOBOTIX cameras not only in
the current subnet of the computer, but also in all subnets, which can be reached
within the same physical network (e.g. not closed off by routers or other mecha-
nisms).
This means that MxViewer can find cameras with factory IP address (e.g.
10.1.0.99 as in our sample), although the computer is in a different subnet (e.g.
172.16.0.0).
MxViewer can thus find MOBOTIX cameras automatically and without chang-
ing the computer configuration if the camera has been plugged into the same
switch as the computer, for example.
Manually Defining MOBOTIX Cameras
If you have selected the Define video sources manually option in the MxViewer
Video Sources dialog, you can manually add the IP addresses or DNS names of
the MOBOTIX cameras.
•Add: Add the IP address or DNS name of the MOBOTIX camera you entered
to the list.
If possible, MxViewer shows the image of the last camera you added in the pre-
view window. Click on OK to use
all
cameras in the list and to include them in the
default layout generated by MxViewer:
Displaying MxPEG Video Clips
MxPEG video clips represent the files that contain the video and audio data stored
by either MOBOTIX cameras or MxViewer. These clips can be displayed in
MxViewer just like the camera images. In order to display one or more MxPEG
video clips, activate the Layout Editor, right-click the desired camera windows of
the layout one by one and select the Load Clip command.
To download sample MxPEG video clips, open the MOBOTIX website
www.mobotix.com.

4.3 The Live Screen in the Browser
4.3.1 Controls
The Live screen shows the camera's live image using the selected image
resolution (size). This screen allows setting the most prominent image
parameters, executing important functions and getting specific camera informa-
tion. Icons, displayed text, the status bar, the Quick Controls above the Live image
and other display elements within the Live image help getting the required infor-
mation.
Icons
The three screen icons in the upper left corner allow switching between the Live,
Playback, and MultiView screens. The icon will open the camera's online help,
the icon displays information about the camera's operating parameters.
Text Display
The text displayed in the upper left corner of the live image can be customized and
positioned freely anywhere in the image, or it can be hidden (Setup Menu > Text
& Display Settings). In order to improve readability, you can select different back-
ground colors (with adjustable transparency) for the text in the live image. The text
itself can also be displayed in different colors. Apart from simple texts, the camera
can display status information using variables, e.g. camera IP address, image size
in bytes, time of the last event, frame rate, text transferred from external devices
using the serial interface, etc. For additional information on this topic, read section
5.5.4,
Placeholders and Variables in the Comment Field
, as well as
Placeholders for
Dynamic Image Text

Status Bar
The event status bar at the bottom of the live image displays the event control and
the recording status, the number of stored events (alarms) as well as other mes-
sages (e.g. when actions or messages cannot be executed). Like the regular text,
the event status bar can also be hidden (Setup Menu > Text and Display Set-
tings). For additional information on this topic (camera symbols and the corre-
sponding events, actions, messages and recording modes), see the camera help
and the reference manual.
Softbuttons
The softbuttons on the left side of the Live, Player and MultiView screens allow
executing various camera functions and configuration tasks with one click. These
buttons can be adapted to execute customized functions and to show different
button background colors. For your convenience, the factory configuration of the
user interface displays several preset softbuttons. For additional infor-
mation on this topic, see chapter 4.9,

most important parameters that
are required to arm the camera
and to record the alarm images.
The dialog itself contains a list of
the settings that will be changed.

Enable Audio dialog. Clicking on
the Yes button will set the parame-
ters that are required to transmit
the sound from the camera micro-
phone to the browser. You will
then hear the audio channel of the
camera microphone on your PC
speaker.
Note: This feature is only available
when using an ActiveX-capable
browser (Internet Explorer under
Windows).
•MxPEG on and MxPEG off: These buttons activate the MxPEG codec (

tings that will be changed.
This dialog may contain other
steps as shown here, e.g. if the
ActiveX plug-in has already been

•Quality Mode: This button opens the
Quality Mode dialog. Clicking on the
Yes button will set the parameters that
are required to obtain the best possible
image quality while showing the video
in the browser window using a medium
to fast frame rate. You should select this setting if image quality is more
important than a high frame rate.
Action Softbuttons
•UC Event: This predefined softbutton uses the User Click (UC) event to trig-
ger the storage of an image or video clip. The stored images can then be
played back in the Playback screen. Make sure that the User Click (UC)
event is activated in Setup Menu > Event Settings; the camera displays the
UC event symbol in the bottom left corner of the live image.
This softbutton is perfectly suited to test the camera recording or for manually
storing an event image or video clip. If recording has been configured prop-
erly, the camera will increment the event counter in the bottom left corner of
the live image.
•LEDs Blink: This button will let the camera LEDs blink several times at one-
second intervals.
This feature can help identifying the camera of a large installation currently
shown in the browser, e.g. if it is to be repositioned.
Note that LEDs need to be activated (Admin Menu > LED Setup).
•Play Sound: This button will play back the default voice message on the
speaker of the MOBOTIX camera ("
This is your MOBOTIX camera calling
")
Using this button can also help identifying the camera of a large installation
currently shown in the browser, e.g. if it is to be repositioned.
Make sure that the speaker is activated in the Admin Menu > Loudspeaker
and Microphone dialog.
Event Softbuttons
•Play Last Event: This button activates the Playback screen and automatically
plays back the last event video clip the camera recorded.
