or the DNS name of a MOBOTIX camera if this
camera had not been detected during the auto-
matic search in the first place.
• Add MxPEG clip: Adds an MxPEG video clip previously recorded by a
MOBOTIX camera as a video source.
• Add file server path: Adds the alarm images previously stored by a
MOBOTIX camera on an external file server as a video source.
