You may need to update the system software (firmware) on your Mobotix IP camera if you find there is a problem with the operation or functionality of the IP camera or if you require new features made available in the new release. However, we do not advise performing an update of the system software every time a new version is released, or if the IP camera is operating normally. Updating the system software does pose a slight risk given that if the update is not completely successful the camera may be permanently damaged.

This guide walks you through all the steps necessary to update the system software on your Mobotix IP camera. It includes where to download the system software, the procedure to back up the current configuration to a file, how to reboot the camera and how to upload the new system software to the camera.

Filed under Mobotix, HOWTO/FAQs, Mobotix MxEasy

MxEasy is a video management software from Mobotix which works with up to 16 Mobotix IP cameras. Mobotix IP cameras work around a decentralised concept where all processing is performed on the camera itself with storage at the edge. All data is recorded on locally attached (to the camera) storage devices. MxEasy offers an easy way to configure, monitor and play back recordings from multiple Mobotix IP cameras.

This guide walks you through the initial setup wizard which will open when you first run MxEasy. The setup wizard will search for available Mobotix IP cameras on your network, allow you to configure the cameras with a compatible IP address for your network and set security access to MxEasy and the selected cameras.

MxEasy is compatible with the following Mobotix ranges:
Mobotix D22M
Mobotix M22M
Mobotix D12D
Mobotix M12
Mobotix Q24M

Mobotix cameras, while amazingly flexible can sometimes be a little tricky to operate, especially for the non-technical user.

This guide will show you the simple steps required if you want to send an image by FTP on a periodic basis from your Mobotix camera. In this example we will configure the camera to send an image every 30 minutes but we will explain how you can adjust the time to suit your requirements.

We are using an Mobotix M22 camera in this example but it should be valid for all Mobotix IP cameras in their range.
