Introduction

In this tutorial, we would like to cover the major/common steps for a standard MOBOTIX camera configuration, the steps which are required in almost all applications.

Within this tutorial, we have recorded events from MOBOTIX cameras to a NAS device relating to movement and then show how to playback the recordings.

It should be noted that in MxSystem Release 5.1.0.99r3, a reboot isn’t necessary after changing the network settings as the change is applied automatically (think “service network restart” in a Linux environment).

However, the configuration is not automatically stored, so if the camera is rebooted before a store is issued, the network settings revert back to factory (DHCP).

It caught me out once, I’d hate for it to catch others out.
