Mobotix cameras provide some of the best quality images in the industry. However, setting up each camera to automatically produce the best possible images in changing light conditions can be tricky. This article looks at the exposure settings on the Mobotix M24M and provides advice on adjusting settings to get the most from your camera.
Although having a reputation for creating powerful and robust security cameras, Mobotix also tend to be a little harder to configure than most other IP cameras. The motion detection function is one such feature that many people find difficult. This article describes how to set up motion detection in a Mobotix camera and provides some tips on getting better results.
Mobotix MxControlCentre is a free to use software application which allows you to manage and monitor Mobotix cameras from a centralized interface. This HOWTO guide explains how to download and install the application, add cameras and review recorded footage.
The latest generation of Mobotix cameras, such as the D24, M24 and Q24, feature on-camera memory for storing video footage. As standard, each camera comes with a 4GB microSD card, allowing you to store video footage without any additional equipment.
For this article, we will demonstrate how to configure the SD card, set the recording and review stored footage. (more…)
With the recent launch of the new D24, M24 and Q24 IP cameras form Mobotix, we have noticed a new feature which initially didn’t seem to have a purpose:
Selectable Power over Ethernet classes
The new models will feature selectable Power over Ethernet classes which can be adjusted from within the web interface. (more…)
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.
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.
