Introduction
The article is aimed at setting up a MOBOTIX camera to trigger a device connected to the MxDisplay’s output.
URL
The MxDisplay’s output can be triggered via the following URLs
- Timer
http:// (username):(password)@(MxDisplay_IP_Address)/sigout.cgi?set=time&time=(Time_in_seconds)
- On
http:// (username):(password)@(MxDisplay_IP_Address)/sigout.cgi?set=high
- Off
http:// (username):(password)@(MxDisplay_IP_Address)/sigout.cgi?set=low
IP Notify triggered via an Action Group
Below is a full step by step on how to configure an IP Notify as a trigger and the Door Icon on MOBOTIX Software will trigger the Door Release.
- Set an output: Admin Menu > Assign Wires > Door Release Actuator
If there is no MxBus Module listed, the system will need to be “spoofed” by creating a “fake” output. This is done by connecting a non-existent device (such as RS232-IO-Box via USB) in Admin-Menu > Manage Hardware Expansions
- Admin Menu > IP Notify Profiles
Type: Custom Configuration
Destination: IP adress of the MxDisplay with Port 80
Protocol: HTTP/1.0 Request
Path: /sigout.cgi
Athentication: (User:Password of the MxDisplay)

- Create a Signal Event:
Setup-Menu > Signal Events

Setup-Menu > Action Group Overview
