The new MxMC version 2.9 helps the administrator to monitor the entire system. In future, relevant data can now be sent automatically or time-controlled by email in the event of critical states or operationally relevant data.
For this purpose, the following inventory functions have been extended with email notification
- Health Check, now also sends an email based on a system error (error or warning)
- Thermal Dashboard, sends the CSV data cyclically or sends an email if a threshold value is exceeded.
- Action Log can be sent periodically, e.g. to the data protection officer by email.
- Camera Lost, sends emails if cameras are no longer accessible in the system.
Further adjustments and improvements:
- Project-specific information can now be stored in MxMC and added to a notification email as additional information if required.
- Rudimentary approach to playback SD card support for MOVE cameras.
- Support the New MOBOTIX ONE Camera!
- Various improvements and bug fixes.
Insights into the new functions
Health Check
The MOBOTIX IOT cameras independently analyse various camera system statuses, such as SD card, sensor status, network traffic, etc… On request, the camera provides an overview of these statuses and divides them into the following categories:
- Error (red)
- Warning (yellow)
- All Good (green)
Previously, the user could query the system status (HealthCheck) in the MxMC via one or more cameras on request.
As described in detail in the following report:
In the new MxMC version 2.9, a time-controlled check is now carried out to determine which status is present and, depending on the filter setting (e.g. only if there is an error in the cameras), a corresponding email is sent instead of always sending an email regardless of the camera status, as was previously the case.
The start time is used to specify when the test should take place for the first time. The interval check is based on this time. In the screenshot above, this means that the check and, if necessary, the email should be sent every day at 10:05.
The user can select hour, day or week as interval options.
Important: The check or email can only be carried out or sent if the MxMC is started and in operation!
Email result:
The user receives a clear and informative email with all the necessary details.
Send action log cyclically by email
In some situations it is necessary that the action log (log file of the user’s activities) is sent regularly by email to the data protection officer. The advantage of the action log is that a backup is regularly sent by email and or forwarded directly to the data protection officer or works council for review. This makes the use of video security even more transparent and prevents misuse of the system.
