3 OPERATING THE CAMERA
3.1 General Procedure
The MOBOTIX camera does not require any software installation; all you need is
your preferred browser with JavaScript support to operate the camera. Thus, the
MOBOTIX camera is supported by all common operating systems (such as Win-
dows, Macintosh and Linux, ...).
3.1.1 Establishing the Power Supply to the Camera
You can choose between the following options:
• External power supply and Network Power Adapter (MX-NPA-3-RJ):
Power supply of one camera injected into the network cabling (max. length
100m (110yd)), from the NPA to the 10BaseT/NET connector of the camera
(see sections 3.3.3 and 3.3.4).
• Network Power Box/Rack (MX-NPR-4, or 8/20): Power supply of 4/8/20
cameras injected into the network cabling (max. length 100m (110yd)), from
the NPR to the 10BaseT/NET connector of the camera (see section 3.3.5).
• Power over Ethernet: Power supply using network components that are con-
forming to the PoE standard IEEE 802.3af (see section 3.3.6)
3.1.2 Connecting the Camera
• Ethernet interface of the camera (10/100 Mbps Ethernet): Connect directly
from a computer (using a crossover cable) or by using a Network Power
Adapter or a switch and a regular patch cable. Open a browser and enter
the IP address printed on the camera la-
bel (e.g. 10.1.0.99).
If your network does not support a Class
A network (i.e. 10.x.x.x), your PC or
laptop will have to be set temporarily to
such a network address. For operating
systems that allow multi-homing (Win-
dows 2000, Windows XP, Linux, Mac OS
X), you can set a second IP address in
the 10.x.x.x network (see section
3.4.1,
Preparing the Ethernet Connec-
tion
).
Once a connection has been established, click on the Admin Menu button to start
configuring the camera. The Admin Menu controls all network settings (IP address,
netmask, DHCP, etc.) and other options.
