User manual

• Optimize the image settings: The factory image settings of MOBOTIX cam-
eras 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. You should, however, set an image program according to the
application scenario of the camera. Image programs provide a quick and
simple method for adjusting the camera to the application scenario as they
perform several configuration steps at once (Image Programs Quick Con-
trol).
=> (Software Manual, section5.5.2)
• Set the resolution of the live image: By factory default, all MOBOTIX cam-
eras are delivered with an image resolution of 640x480 pixels. You can
select the desired resolution using the Resolution Quick Control.
=> (Software Manual, section4.3.3)
• Adjust the exposure: The automatic exposure control of the MOBOTIX cam-
era uses individually configurable windows to determine the best image
exposure. Open the Exposure Windows Quick Control and select a prede-
fined set of exposure windows. If required, you can also define custom expo-
sure windows (Setup Menu> Exposure Settings).
=> (Software Manual, section5.7)
• Activate event control and recording: By factory default, the MOBOTIX
camera's event control is disabled. Click on the Arm& Record button to acti-
vate event control. This will activate video motion detection and recording.
Cameras with integrated Flash memory (MOBOTIX R models and models
with SD card) will use the Flash memory by default to store the image and
video data (recording target). If desired, you can set additional events and
adjust the settings of the recording and storage parameters (Setup Menu>
Event Settings, Setup Menu> Recording and Admin Menu> Recording
to External File Server/ Flash Device).
=> (Software Manual, chapters7 and 8)
• Set up actions/messaging: Upon detecting an event, the MOBOTIX camera
can trigger alarms. These alarms can be adjusted to your needs and you
can assign them to one or more events: playing back a sound alarm on the
camera speaker, showing the visual alarm in the camera live image, sending
an e-mail or network message with the alarm image, placing a phone call,
uploading an alarm image to an FTP server, switching a signal output line of
the camera (e.g. for switching on the lights/opening a door). To change the
corresponding settings, please refer to these dialogs: Setup Menu>
Actions, Setup Menu> Messaging and Messaging2, Setup Menu>
Enhanced Signal Out Options.
