3.4 The First Image from the Camera
Once the Ethernet connection has been established, you have the following possi-
bilities to see the first image of the camera:
• Automatic camera search and configuration using MxControlCenter (free
Windows client for MOBOTIX cameras; section 3.4.6,
The First Image in
MxControlCenter
)
• Manual configuration (section 3.4.1,
Preparing the Ethernet Connection )
Besides using MxControlCenter, you can also use a browser to access the camera
(section 3.4.2,
The First Image in the Browser ).
In order to finish the camera configuration, you can use either MxControlCenter or
the browser-based user interface of the camera (see section 4.3,
The Live Screen in
the Browser
, in the Software Manual ).
3.4.1 Preparing the Ethernet Connection
For this example, we will use a camera with the factory IP address 10.1.0.99.
Replace this IP address with the IP address of your camera. You will find this ad-
dress on a small sticker on the camera. Accessing the camera is always the same
and is independent of the connection type: simply enter the camera's IP address in
the address field of the browser (see section 3.4.2,
The First Image in the Browser ).
Your computer has to have a network or a wireless interface, and it should be in
the same subnet as the camera. If your network also uses IP addresses of a class
A network (e.g. 10.x.x.x, network mask 255.0.0.0), you should be able to
access the camera directly (provided no other network device uses the same IP ad-
dress).
Determine the IP address of your computer:
• Open a command shell
(Windows) or a terminal
(Linux/UNIX/OSX) and en-
ter the following com-
mand:
Windows 2000/XP: ipconfig
Linux/UNIX/OSX: ifconfig
You will find the IP address of your Windows computer under IP address; for Linux/
UNIX/OS X computers, search for the inet address parameter of the eth0 device
(the first network interface). If your computer does not use an IP address in the
10.x.x.x range, you should change the network configuration of your computer
or add a new IP address (see below).
