3.2 Overview of the Configuration Settings
Using the Quick Installation wizard
After first booting the camera or after resetting it to factory defaults, any access to
the administration menu (Admin Menu button) will start the Quick Installation.
This wizard will guide you through the most important settings of the camera (con-
figuration of the network interface, image control, etc.) and can also be used to
reset the camera to its factory settings.
It is also recommended to use Admin Menu> Quick Installation later on as well,
e.g. if you would like to change connection parameters or add a new connection
type.
Administration and setup of the camera
Basic configuration tasks of the camera (e.g. passwords, interfaces, software up-
dates) are carried out from the administration menu (Admin Menu button) which
requires the corresponding access rights (
admins group).
Open the Setup Menu (button) and find the dialogs for changing the image, event
and recording settings in the Image Control and Event Control sections. These op-
tions are also available for users belonging to the
users group.
Some of these settings can be changed using the corresponding pull-down menus
above the image on the Live screen.
The image settings are already optimized
The factory image settings of MOBOTIX cameras deliver excellent images for most
application scenarios and should not be changed. If you do wish to make changes,
your changes should be minor and gradual. If you would like to reset changes wi-
thout resetting the complete configuration to factory defaults, you can use the Fac-
tory button at the bottom of the dialog to reset only this dialog's settings. If you
would like to reset all image settings, you may do so using the Manage Settings>
Restore Image Settings pull-down menu above the image on the Live screen.
All changes are temporary
All changes to the configuration are only temporary and can thus be tested easily.
Restoring the old configuration settings can be achieved using the Restore button
in most dialogs or by running Admin Menu> Restore last stored configuration
from flash (see also section 5.9,
Managing Settings , in the Software Manual ).
