1 INTRODUCTION

The D22 cameras are powerful yet compact network cameras by MOBOTIX, which
are capable of creating high-resolution live video streams with high image rates.
When showing VGA video (640x480), the camera can deliver up to 30 fps. Even

Megapixel video (1280x960) will still generate up to 10fps. The camera transmits

lip-synchronous audio, both in the browser (ActiveX plug-in) and when using

McControlCenter (external speaker and microphone required; not available on

D22-Basic).

Like all other MOBOTIX cameras, D22 models
are more than "just a camera"; the integrated
software features include a multitude of func­tions, such as video motion detection, long-

term recording, alarm messaging and video
IP telephony. Unlike in camera systems from

other manufacturers, buying and installing ad­ditional software on the computer is thus unne­cessary.

Because of the low power consumption of only
3Watts, the MOBOTIX D22 cameras feature the
highest operating temperature range available
from -30 to + 60°C (-20 to 140°F). Since MO­BOTIX cameras neither fog up nor require hea-

ting, power can be supplied via the network
cabling using standard PoE products. D22 IT and Secure models are absolutely
dust-proof and resistant against water jets (IP65; D22-Basic: IP54). When mounted
to the D22 Wall Mount, the camera can be used in outdoor applications; the wall
mount perfectly covers wall outlets, thus providing completely concealed cabling.

D22 models

• D22-Basic: The D22-Basic, with a diameter of
only 12.9cm (5in) and a height of only 8.5cm
(3.3in) is the most compact and most discrete
MOBOTIX camera. The camera is
weatherproof (IP54) and thus suited for out­door use.

• D22-IT/Secure: The D22 IT and Secure models feature additional functions
and security features. Among other things, you can connect an external spe­aker and microphone, store images and video sequences on an external file
server (including audio) and call the camera using SIP video*. MOBOTIX also
provides accessories for indoor and outdoor applications and vandalism­prone areas. The ca­mera is weatherproof
(IP65) and thus suited
for outdoor use.

Accessories for the MOBOTIX D22

• D22 On-Wall Set: This set can reliably protect external cables if the cables

cannot be guided from below the housing but have to be led above the wall
for technical or legal reasons. In addition, the On-Wall mount provides ample
space for extra modu­les (batteries, WiFi, ...).

• D22 Vandalism Set: The D22 Vandalism Set provides added protection for
D22 cameras. The set consists of a robust camera ring made of stainless
steel and a reinforced dome made from 3mm thick polycarbonate. A
camera with vanda­lism set is perfectly
suited for applications
in demanding envi­ronments (such as pri­sons, social hot-spots,
train stations, etc.).

1.3 MOBOTIX D22 Concept

High-resolution live video with up to 30 frames/s at 640x480

The second generation of cameras from MOBOTIX delivers smooth live video dis­play in VGA format with synchronous live audio, yet it keeps the network load to a
minimum (approx. 2Mbps)*. Live video display now matches the performance of
analog video systems. When recording, MOBOTIX systems easily outperform ana­log systems, since MOBOTIX cameras store the high live image resolution and
frame rate without compromising image quality. MOBOTIX technology thus al-

lows simultaneous recording of video from 30 cameras in continuous recor­ding mode on one standard PC at 30fps each, including audio.

Low bandwidth requirements

MOBOTIX' patent pending MxPEG streaming format allows fast live video with au­dio at extremely low network load (1 to 2Mbps). Since the MOBOTIX camera itself
detects movements in the image (and not the computer), video is only transmitted if
movements occur, and when the video and audio data are being stored.

Voice over IP and ISDN (with accessories)

Moreover, MxPEG provides for lip-synchronized audio and two-way communicati­on between the camera and your computer. Room surveillance with audio is possi­ble* using Internet Explorer or MxControlCenter. Alarm notification on your mobile
or via Internet telephony is just as easy as event-controlled voice messages directly
from the camera (D22-IT/Secure require an external speaker and microphone).

IP telephony and video SIP (with accessories)

All telephone features can be used via Internet telephony thanks to the integrated
SIP client. The SIP client allows remote-controlling the camera using the touchtone
keys and also makes the alarm calls of the camera. Video SIP allows establishing
audio/video connections to the camera using Windows Messenger or similar appli­cations (e.g. CounterPath X-Lite, Eyebeam).

IP Telephony!

In order to use VoIP and
Internet telephony with
the D22, you need an IT
or Secure model with an
attached external speaker
and microphone

Long-term storage included

MOBOTIX cameras (IT and Secure models) feature an integrated long-term storage
system for Windows, Linux and Mac OS X computers. Every camera manages its
own ring buffer storage space on the shared folder. Thanks to this decentralized
technology, 30 live cameras can store images on a regular Pentium 4-class com­puter with 30fps each, including audio (depending on the operating system).

Event storage on SD card

An SD card can be inserted into the integrated slot to increase the internal memory
of MOBOTIX D22 IT and Secure models (SD cards will be supported in a future soft­ware release). A 2GB card can permanently store up to 65,000 images in CIF for­mat, 40,000 images in VGA format or 13,000 Megapixel images, which are not lost
in the event of a power failure.

If long-term storage on a file server has been set up, the SD card adds yet another
layer of security against loss of data, since the SD card can easily bridge longer
network outages.

30 live cameras using MxControlCenter

Instead of using a web browser, you can also download the free

MxControlCenter for Windows from www.mobotix.com, which

allows displaying up to 30 MOBOTIX cameras on one monitor
(Linux and Mac OSX versions are currently being developed). In
addition, MxControlCenter can process incoming alarms from the
cameras and allows comfortably searching and evaluating the
alarm video clips (including audio*). The integrated Layout Editor of

MxControlCenter provides for quickly creating floor plans by simply
dragging/dropping the cameras onto a background image. Load a
floor plan as background image, drag&drop the cameras; done.

Event and Time-controlled

Just like event-controlled recording upon detecting movements in the image, the
camera can also record when the volume picked up by the microphone exceeds a
set trigger value (audio-capable models only*). Using scheduled recording that
takes into consideration vacation times and holidays, time tasks can start or stop
video recording, uploading of images to a web site or sending of e-mails with vi­deo/audio* clips.

Remote Alerting

In case of an alarm, MOBOTIX cameras automatically pop up windows or activate
other functions at a remote security control center. The cameras can use network/
wireless, GSM/GPRS/UMTS (3G) or Internet connections for this purpose (a GSM/
GPRS/UMTS modem can be connected to the serial interface of MOBOTIX M12/D12
models).

Day & Night

The Night version of the D22-Secure model delivers crisp and clear images of mo­ving objects even at night since they use a special black and white image sensor.
Depending on the lighting conditions, you can use infrared light to enhance the
lighting, since the B/W sensor system is IR-sensitive (in contrast to the human eye).

Integrated Power over Ethernet

Power is supplied as Power-over Ethernet via the network cabling us-

ing the MOBOTIX power supply (in combination with the Network

Power Adapter), a MOBOTIX Network Power Rack (8 to 20 cameras) or a

Network Power Box (4 cameras), or by using a PoE-compatible switch (according

to PoE standard IEEE 802.3af).

Since the camera's plastic housing insulates well and is anti-fogging, no additional
heating or fans are necessary. This is why MOBOTIX, unlike other manufacturer's
cameras, have low power requirements (3Watts) and PoE can be used every day
of the year indoors as well as outdoors for supplying power.

Weatherproof

MOBOTIX D22 cameras are certified according to IP54 (Basic models) or IP65 (IT
and Secure models) and are designed for outdoor as well as indoor usage. As the
cameras do not have any moving parts, they are extremely robust and resistant
against heat or cold (-30 to +60°C; -20 to +140°F).

Logos, Animated or Freestyle

The logo generator of MOBOTIX cameras allows scheduled display of different
banners and graphics (or files loaded from any URL) into the current camera
images. MOBOTIX cameras are the only network IP cameras supporting animated
and transparent graphics.

• Time Tables for handling customized days, e.g. for holidays and vacations.
The time tables are used to control the camera's arming, image recording,
action, messaging, logo, obscure image and other features.

• Remote signaling for master/slave cameras, with the master camera con-
trolling the arming status of the slave cameras. This allows arming, for
example, of all slave cameras by using a key switch that is connected to the
master camera.

• Transfer profiles for improved handling of FTP, E-Mail, phone calls, network
transmissions and messages.

• Speaker phone* for announcements via the camera speaker. listening into a
room and intercom mode using Internet telephony (SIP) and ISDN (D22 mo­dels require an external speaker and microphone).

• Phone Call-In* to remotely control the camera using a touchtone phone via
Internet telephony (retrieve camera information, establish Internet connec­tion, announcement of retrieved IP address, intercom feature, etc.).

• MxPEG video compression using MxControlCenter for Windows (Linux and
Mac OSX versions are currently being developed). In addition, the ActiveX
plug-in for Windows Internet Explorer brings all advantages of MxPEG (inclu­ding the audio stream to and from the camera*) to the browser-based user
interface.

• Routing allows using other network connections besides the standard route.

• DynDNS client for accessing the camera using a symbolic name (e.g.

mymobotixcam.dyndns.org) although the provider is assigning a new
dynamic IP address every time the camera connects to the Internet.

• Undeletable Backup operating system automatically takes over when re­booting the camera (e.g. when updating the system software has failed due
to a power failure), allowing you to restart the update process.

• Enhanced startup options for the camera (obtain IP address via DHCP, an-
nouncement of IP address and other network data*, reset to factory default
settings, etc.).

1.5 Lenses for the MOBOTIX D22

MOBOTIX currently offers five different lenses: from Super Wide-Angle L22 with
22mm focal length up to the tele lens L135 with 135mm focal length (equiv. to
35mm camera). Since MOBOTIX cameras are backlight-proof, they do not require
a mechanical auto iris. Without the iris as a mechanical component, all MOBOTIX
glass lenses are extremely robust and maintenance-free. You can choose between
the following lenses for the MOBOTIX D22 (M14 thread):

• L22 Super Wide-Angle 90° image angle (horizontally)

• L32 Wide angle 60° image angle (horizontally)

• L43 Wide angle 45° image angle (horizontally)

• L65 Tele 31° image angle (horizontally)

• L135 Tele 15° image angle (horizontally)

The L22 Super Wide-Angle 90° lens has very little distortion and excellent image
quality, even when using the 4x digital zoom of the D22. If a camera with a Super
Wide-Angle lens has been mounted in the corner of a room, the complete room is
visible on the image.

D22 Camera Manual Part 1

Focal lengths of
MOBOTIX lenses are
always given as compared
to a 35mm camera!

To determine the lens you
need, simply use a camera
with zoom lens to find a
matching MOBOTIX lens

Note

The focal lengths of MOBOTIX lenses do not reflect the actual focal
length of the lenses, but the focal length (

Lxx

mm) converted to 35mm
camera format. For example, the MOBOTIX Super Wide-Angle lens has
an actual focal length of 4mm. This would be the equivalent of 22mm
on a 35mm camera. This lens is thus called

L22

.

Since the image sensors in digital cameras have different sizes, con­verting to 35mm camera as a known format provides for better com­paring the image formats and the fields of vision of the different len­ses. Another benefit is that you can easily set a 35mm camera (ana­log or digital) to the same focal length (Lxx) to obtain the same field of
vision. This approach greatly facilitates lens selection.

1.6 Important Notes

1.6.1 Password for the Administration Menu

The administration area of the camera (Admin Menu button) is protected by a user
name and password:

• User name is admin

• Password is meinsm

Enter the user name and password exactly as shown above. Note that both entries
are case-sensitive.

When accessing the administration menu for the first time, the Quick Installation
wizard will help you set the most important parameters that are relevant for your
requirements. For security reasons, it is highly recommended to change the ad-

minstrator password after the camera has been configured properly.

1.6.2 Irreversibly Deactivating the Microphone

Deactivating a camera's microphone may become necessary in order to protect
the privacy of people at a workplace or for other reasons. It is hence possible to ir-

reversibly deactivate the microphone. For additional information on this topic, see

section 5.4.5,

Microphone and Speaker

, in the

Software Manual

.

D22 Camera Manual Part 1

Administration menu:
User: admin
Password: meinsm

The microphone can be
irreversibly deactivated!

CAUTION: Make sure that you store information on user names
and passwords in a secure place. If you loose the administrator
password and cannot access the Admin menu, the password can
only be reset at the factory. This service is subject to a service
charge!

CAUTION: This deactivation is permanent and cannot be reversed
even by MOBOTIX engineers. Deactivating the microphone will
also deactivate all features that use the camera's microphone.

The D22 also allows connecting an external speaker and microphone.
Irreversibly deactivating the microphone will also disable the external
microphone features.

Note

1.6.3 Starting the Camera Using the Factory IP Address

If the camera's IP address is not known, you can start the camera with its factory IP
address. Section 3.6,

Starting the Camera Using the Factory IP Address

, describes

this procedure in more detail.

1.6.4 Resetting the Camera to Factory Defaults

All settings of the MOBOTIX camera can be reset permanently to the factory default
settings. This makes sense if you have, for example, obtained a camera without
any information or you would like to reset all settings after testing the camera. In

order to perform this procedure, you need to have access to the administration
area of the camera (admins group). Open Admin Menu> Reset … to reset the

camera to factory defaults.

Note: All defined users will be deleted and the admin password will be reset to

the factory default when you reset the camera using Admin Menu> Reset …

Proceed according to section 3.6,

Starting the Camera Using the Factory IP

Address

, if you would like to maintain existing users.

1.6.5 Activating Event Control for Security Applications

In its default configuration, the camera's event control and video motion detec-

tion features are not enabled. In order to activate event control as a whole, open

Setup Menu> General Event Settings and activate the Arming switch. Click on the
Arm& Record softbutton of the user interface in the browser to enable the stan-

dard event features. The video motion detection window is visible in the live image
(dotted frame in the center) and the camera automatically stores images as soon
as the video motion window detects movements.

1.6.6 Deactivating Text and Logo Options

As the camera arming has been deactivated in its default configuration (see prece
ding section), the MOBOTIX camera only displays the Text WWW.MOBOTIX.COM,
the time stamp and the MOBOTIX logo at the top of the image. Once the camera

arming has been activated (see section1.7.5), the text at the bottom of the live
image (event, action and messaging symbols) will also appear.

You can deactivate the status text at the bottom and the text at the top left corner of
the live image by setting Text Display in the Setup Menu> Text & Display Settings
dialog to

Off

. Setting Text Display to

Date & Time

will only display the time stamp in

the live image.

In order to hide the logo in the live image, open Admin Menu> Logo Profiles and
set Logo Display to

Disable

.

The configuration can also
be reset partially

If the dotted rectangle in
the live image is visible,
the camera is armed

Text and logos can be also
deactivated or customized
to your liking

1.6.7 Deactivating the Automatic Daily Reboot of the Camera

In its default configuration, the MOBOTIX camera automatically reboots every
morning at 3:36am. The reason for this is that external influences (e.g. radiation in
high locations) can lead to camera malfunctions. The automatic reboot will refresh
the camera's memory and will ensure proper operation without requiring any inter­action on the part of the user.

Open Admin Menu> Time Tasks and deactivate or delete the

Reboot camera

task. This will prevent the camera from rebooting automatically.

1.6.8 Using Internet Browsers

Current Internet browsers (Internet Explorer, Netscape, Mozilla, Firefox, Safari, Kon­queror, Opera, …) with enabled JavaScript can show the camera's live images
with their standard settings. Text-based browsers (e.g. lynx) cannot display the
user interface and are

not

suitable for operating the camera.

Section 4.8,

Browser Settings

, in the

Software Manual

contains more information on
browser compatibility. For additional information on troubleshooting the camera,
see chapter12,

Troubleshooting

.

1.6.9 Cleaning Instructions

If a lens is dirty (e.g. from the installation process), you can clean the lens using a
lint-free cotton cloth.

1.6.10 Safety Notes for Operating MOBOTIX Cameras

Electrical surges can be induced by other electrical appliances, improper wiring,
but also from the outside (e.g. lightning strikes to phone or power lines).

MOBOTIX cameras are protected against the effects of small electrical surges by
numerous measures. These measures, however, cannot prevent the camera from
being damaged when stronger electrical surges occur. Special care should be ta­ken when installing the camera outside of buildings to ensure proper protection
against lightning, since this also protects the building and the whole network infra­structure.

MOBOTIX recommends having MOBOTIX cameras installed only by specialists ac­customed to installing network devices and having proper respect for the pertinent
regulations regarding lightning protection and fire prevention as well as the current
technology for preventing damages from electrical surges.

Section 2.10.2,

Wiring, Fire Prevention, Lightning and Surge Protection

, contains

more information on these topics.

2 MOUNTING THE CAMERA

2.1 Preparing the Installation

Before mounting the MOBOTIX D22, the following questions should be solved:

1) Where will the camera be mounted?
Mounting the camera to a ceiling or wall,

section 2.1.1

2) Which other mounting options are available?
On-wall mounting, vandalism protection, wall mounting with Wall Mount,
Corner and Pole Mount, in-ceiling mounting,

section 2.1.2

3) How is the camera connected to the network and how is the power sup-

plied?

Network Power Adapter, Netpower Rack/ Netpower Box, MxPoE or PoE-com­patible switch (IEEE 802.3af),

section 2.1.3

.

4) How are the connections furnished from the building?
Wall outlets,

section 2.1.4

5) Which sections of the Mounting Instructions should I read?
In order to mount the D22 with its optional accessories as quickly and effi­ciently as possible, you should consult the Directions for Mounting,

section

2.1.5

.

The following sections contain a brief overview for all of these questions as well as
references to the relevant sections in this manual, which contain more detailed in­formation. For more information on the MOBOTIX D22 and the available accesso­ries, please also refer to shop.mobotix.com.

2.1.1 Mounting to a Ceiling or Wall

The MOBOTIX D22 has been designed to be mounted to either ceilings or to a
wall, when using the Wall Mount. The supplied L22 90° lens then allows monitor-

ing almost the entire room from
the walls to the ceiling.

It is also possible to mount the
D22 directly to a wall (without
using the Wall Mount), but doing
so will result in reduced flexibility
for positioning the lens. We
hence recommend using the
Wall Mount if you intend to
mount the camera to a wall.

The cable entry of the D22 is be­low the center of the camera's
housing. For more detailed information on mounting the camera, see sections 2.5
and above; the drilling templates are at the end of the manual.

room with only one camera

2.1.2 Additional Mounting Options for IT/Secure Models

On-Wall Mounting

The D22 On-Wall set can reliably protect external ca­bles if the cables cannot be guided from below the
housing but have to be led above the wall. In addition,
the On-Wall mount provides ample space for extra
modules.

In-Ceiling Mounting

The D22 In-Ceiling Set allows mounting the D22 cam­era in fake ceilings, for example. This type of installa­tion provides optimum protection for the camera and
reduces the visible profile to a minimum since only the
dome is visible.

Vandalism Protection

The D22 Vandalism Set provides added protection for
D22 cameras. The set consists of a robust camera ring
made from stainless steel and a reinforced dome
made from 3mm thick polycarbonate. A camera
equipped with the Vandalism Set is perfectly suited for
applications in demanding environments (such as pris­ons, social hot-spots, train stations, etc.).

Mounting to a Wall Using the Wall Mount

The D22 Wall Mount is the ideal solution for mounting
the D22 to walls for indoor and outdoor applications.
The camera is absolutely dustproof and resistant
against water jets (IP65). The wall mount also covers
RJ45 wall outlets and also has ample space for addi­tional modules.

Mounting to a Pole

If you would like to mount the MOBOTIX D22 to a pole,
you should consider using the MOBOTIX Corner and
Pole Mount. This mount can only be used in conjunc­tion with the wall mount. The supplied stainless steel
straps allow fixing the mount to poles with diameters
between 60 and 180mm (2.4 to 7.1in).

For more information on the D22 and the available ac­cessories, please consult

section 2.11

and also refer to

2.1.3 Network Connection and Power Supply, UPS

Power over Ethernet (MxPoE)

Power is supplied to all D22 models via the network cabling (MxPoE, Power-over-

Ethernet). For smaller installations, the universal power supply (

MX-SNT-E/U/GB/J/

AUS01-30-RJ

) with the MOBOTIX Network Power Adapter

MX-NPA-3-RJ

is suffi­cient. Larger installations would benefit from one or more MOBOTIX Network
Power Racks/Boxes that are available for supplying power to 4, 8 or 20 cameras
(

MX-NPR-4

, -8 or -20).

See section 2.10,

Camera Accessories

, for more information on these and other

items or open shop.mobotix.com (Products> Accessories section).

Power-over-Ethernet (PoE according to IEEE 802.3af)

Besides MOBOTIX MxPoE, the MOBOTIX D22 also supports the Power-over-Ether-
net standard IEEE 802.3af. You can hence use switches or routers that support the

PoE (Power-over-Ethernet) standard IEEE 802.3af.

Sections 3.3 ff

contain more information on the possible combinations of connect-

ing the D22 and power supply options.

Advantages of MOBOTIX PoE Products

• Zero maintenance and reliable without fans.

• Higher reliability of the system as a whole, since standard
switches without PoE can be used (lower risk of failure).

• Easy installation on DIN rails using supplied adapter (

MX-NPR-4

)

or in 19" racks (

MX-NPR-8/20

).

Note

If you are using Power over Ethernet (IEEE 802.3af) network compo-

nents for supplying power to the MOBOTIX D22, make sure that these

components do not have a fan. Since the power consumption of MO­BOTIX cameras is very low compared to other products, the reliability
of the entire system is increased and the life cycle of the PoE compo­nents is expanded.

Using Uninterruptible Power Supplies (UPS)

In order to maintain a continuous power supply even when utility power fails, you
should install an uninterruptible power supply (UPS). These devices also provide
full protection against electrical surges and voltage fluctuations and thus enhance
the reliability of the system as a whole.

When using a more powerful 19" rack-mounted USP, you can also protect all other
network components (e.g. switches, routers, PoE switches, etc.).

Since MOBOTIX cameras do not require any heating even in the wintertime, the po­wer consumption of 3W is very low. This in turn means that you can centralize the
USP-protected power supply by injecting power into the network cables (max.
100m/300ft). This kind of protected power supply can be used either with MO­BOTIX MxPoE products (MX-NPA-3-RJ + external power supply or MX-NPR-4/8/20)
or with PoE-compliant switches according to IEEE 802.3af.

2.1.4 Providing the Camera Connections, Wall Outlets

Once the camera position, the position of the cable outlets, and the method of
power supply have been decided upon, the cabling should be installed. Before
mounting the MOBOTIX D22, you should make sure that the network connections
have been properly tested, so that the proper functioning of the camera is guaran­teed.

If you would like to use an external audio connection, you will have to install an ad­ditional MOBOTIX D22 audio cable into the camera's housing. Please send an

email to [e-mail] to get more information on this topic.

Notes:

2.5 Mounting the Camera

2.5.1 D22-IT/Secure

Before mounting the MOBOTIX D22-IT/Secure, you need to prepare the network
connection and drill the holes for the fixtures:

• Network connection: The network cabling is supplied through the ceiling di­rectly above the camera. The cabling is perfectly protected and cannot be
seen or damaged. When preparing the installation, you should make sure
that the cable runs at least 15cm (6in) within the camera housing (excluding
the connector itself). This will ensure that you can turn the lens unit freely later
on.
Note: When using a wall outlet (either flush-mounted or on-wall), the D22-IT/
Secure will have to be mounted using either the On-Wall set or the Outdoor
Wall Mount. The D22-IT/Secure models cannot be mounted directly on top of
wall outlets.

• Drilling the holes: Prepare the holes in the ceiling. Make sure that you have
the supplied dowels ready for this purpose. Use the supplied drilling tem­plate for the mounting ring of the D22-IT/Secure (fold-out at the end of this
manual) to mark the position for drilling the dowel holes and the holes
through which the cables will be led later on.

Procedure

• Use the delivered screws to affix the cam­era's mounting ring to the ceiling. The outer
shell will be used later in the mounting proc­ess.

• Continue with section 2.5.3,

Maximum torque for all
screws is 1 to 1.2Nm
(0.74lbf ft)

Caution

Only use the factory pre-installed network cable of the MOBOTIX
camera. It is very important that the rubber plug of the network
cable reliably protects the housing from moisture entering the ca­mera. All openings of the camera housing need to be closed off
properly. This will ensure that the camera remains weatherproof.

2.5.2 D22-Basic

Before mounting the MOBOTIX D22-Basic, you need to prepare the network con­nection and drill the holes for the fixtures:

• Network connection: The network cabling is supplied through the ceiling di­rectly above the camera. The cabling is perfectly protected and cannot be
seen or damaged. When preparing the installation, you should make sure
that the cable runs at least 15cm (6in) within the camera housing (excluding
the connector itself). This will ensure that you can turn the lens unit freely later
on.

Note: As an alternative, you can also connect the camera above a wall outlet

(either flush-mounted or on-wall types). Note, that the cabling remains visible
in this case. The D22-Basic model cannot be mounted directly on top of wall
outlets.

• Drilling the holes: Prepare the holes in the ceiling. Make sure that you have
the supplied dowels ready for this purpose. Use the supplied drilling tem­plate for the D22-Basic (fold-out at the end of this manual) to mark the posi­tion for drilling the dowel holes and the holes through which the cables will
be led later on.

Procedure

• Remove the camera dome. Take the deliv­ered plastic foil or a cotton cloth and remove
the dome by turning it in counter-clockwise
direction.

• Unplug the pre-installed network cable from
the network connector at the inside of the
camera. Make sure that you do not touch

any electronic parts insinde! Static electric­ity could destroy these parts when touching
them.

Caution

Only use the factory pre-installed network cable of the MOBOTIX
camera. It is very important that the rubber plug of the network
cable reliably protects the housing from moisture entering the ca­mera. All openings of the camera housing need to be closed off
properly. This will ensure that the camera remains weatherproof.

• Release the internal part of the camera by
turning the ring inside in counter-clockwise
direction using the supplied toothed wrench.
While doing so, hold the camera at the lens
unit to prevent it from turning.

• Disengage the internal part of the camera
with the lens unit from the base of the hous­ing.

• Position the base of the camera housing over
the drilled holes and the prepared cable exit
in the ceiling. If the holes in the base of the
housing are closed, push through the holes
using a suitable tool or use a suitable drill bit
to open the holes. Caution: These holes will

need to stay closed on D22-IT/Secure
models.

Make sure that the cable is at least 15cm (6in) long within the camera hous­ing (excluding the connector itself), as in the factory-installed cable.

It is very important that the rubber plug of the network cable reliably pro­tects the housing from moisture entering the camera. This will ensure that
the camera remains weatherproof.

• Use the delivered screws to mount the base
of the camera to the ceiling.

If the cabling from the ceiling is not directly
beneath the camera, make sure that the net­work cable is not damaged by one of the feet
of the camera base. When tightening the
screws of the camera base, the base will lock
the cable in place, thus securing the cable
against the ceiling. The cable is now firmly
installed and cannot be pulled out or reposi­tioned.

D22 Camera Manual Part 1

Maximum torque for all
screws is 1 to 1.2Nm
(0.74lbf ft)

• Insert the internal part of the camera with the
lens unit into the mounted base of the hous­ing and secure it by turning the two blue
clamps in clockwise direction using the sup­plied toothed wrench or a screwdriver. This
will prevent the internal part of the camera to
accidentally fall out of the base before it has
been secured. Now secure the internal part
of the camera by turning the toothed ring by
hand in clockwise direction, as long as you
can still easily turn the internal part of the
camera.

• Connect the network cable to the network
connector of the camera. Make sure that the
cable loop is running properly as shown in
the figure.

• Position the camera by turning and tilting the
lens unit so that it points into the desired di­rection (Note: the SD card slot has to point

downwards for the camera's live image to

be correct). Never use force when adjusting
the direction of the camera, as this could
damage the camera beyond repair. The in­ternal part of the camera with the lens unit
should turn and tilt easily, but it should not reposition itself. This could mean
that you have to loosen the Allen screws at both sides of the lens unit using
the supplied Allen wrench.

• Continue with section 2.5.3,

shing a Connection to the Camera

.

Adjusting the Lens, Visual Check

Make sure that you see the live image of the camera on the monitor of your com­puter or laptop. Now adjust the lens until you see the desired image area on your
monitor.

• Remove the camera dome. Take the deliv-
ered plastic foil or a cotton cloth and remove
the dome by turning it in counter-clockwise
direction. Make sure that you remove the
camera's outer shell on IT/Secure models be­fore you attempt to do this.

• Slightly loosen the toothed ring inside by
turning it in counter-clockwise direction using
the supplied toothed wrench. Also slightly

loosen the two Allen screws at both sides of
the lens unit by turning them in counter-

clockwise direction using the supplied Allen
wrench.

Loosen the outer shell and the Allen screws
only slightly, so that you can turn the internal
part of the camera and tilt the lens unit wi­thout using excessive force. The internal part
and the lens unit should not reposition them­selves.

• Fine-tune the image area that is displayed
on a computer monitor by turning and tilting
the lens unit accordingly. Never use force
when adjusting the direction of the camera,
as this could damage the camera beyond re­pair. The internal part of the camera with the
lens unit should turn and tilt easily, but it
should not reposition itself.

• Once you are seeing the desired image area,

tighten the Allen screws at the sides of the
lens unit (in clockwise direction) and the too­thed ring inside the camera. Do not use ex-

cessive force when doing so to avoid dama­ging the camera.

• Release the lens' lock ring and adjust the
image focus by turning the lens in its holder. Check the image on the com­puter monitor. Make sure that you tighten the lock ring again once you are fi­nished. When tightening the lock ring, firmly hold the lens to prevent it from
losing the focus setting.

Mounting the Dome and the Camera's Outer Shell

• Mount the dome. Take the delivered plastic
foil or a cotton cloth, insert the dome into its
seat and turn it in clockwise direction. You
should once again control the sharpness of
the camera image on a computer monitor.

If required, clean the lens gently using a lint­free cotton cloth before installing the dome.
Do not apply excessive pressure onto the
glass surface when cleaning the lens!

• Mount the outer shell (IT/Secure Models
only). Use the delivered Allen screws (or the
security screws and the spacers when
mounting the outer shell of the Vandalism
Set).

Caution (only 135 mm Tele Lenses)

Image Focus: Due to the lens effect of the dome, the focus of the
135mm tele lens is shifting slightly once the dome has been mounted.
Before mounting the dome, the tele lens should be turned about 90°
in clockwise direction (as seen from the lens' front). Make sure that
you check the focus of the live image in your browser with the dome
installed and re-adjust the lens, if required.

2.5.4 Notes on Mounting the Camera to a Wall Without the Wall Mount

The MOBOTIX D22 has been designed to be mounted to either ceilings or to a
wall, when using the Wall Mount. It is also possible to mount the D22 directly to a

wall (without using the Wall Mount), but doing so will result in reduced flexibility for
positioning the lens. The following section contains some hints on these restrictions
and tips for mounting the camera to a wall.

When mounting the camera onto a wall, the camera image will show more wall
area (and less room area), the more you move the position of the camera from the
center of the wall toward a corner.

In order to show a larger portion of the room (and less wall area) when using a
MOBOTIX D22 mounted to a Wall Mount, you can turn the base of the camera and
the lens unit around its vertical axis. The camera image always stays upright. When
mounting the D22 directly onto a wall, you can also turn the base of the camera
around its vertical axis to show more room area, but the image now appears
slightly tilted.

Note

When mounting the D22 to a wall, you should always use the wall
mount.

When mounting the camera directly to the wall without using the
wall mount, you should mount the camera in the center of a wall, if
you would like to maximize the area monitored by the camera.

If you cannot install the D22 to the ceiling and using the D22 wall
mount is also not possible, you should consider using a MOBOTIX D12
instead. MOBOTIX D12 models are more flexible than the D22 when
positioning the camera modules thanks to the larger housing.

2.6 Mounting the D22 to a Ceiling Using the On-Wall Set

Before mounting the MOBOTIX D22-IT/Secure to an indoor or outdoor location
using the On-Wall Set, you need to prepare the network connection and drill the
holes for the fixtures:

• Network connection: You can use any one of the four openings in the On­Wall mount to guide the cabling into the camera. When using the On-Wall
Set, you cannot mount the camera directly on top of the wall outlet (regard­less whether it's a flush-mounted outlet or an above-the-wall model).

When preparing the installation, you should make sure that the cable is at
least 15cm (6in) long within the housing of the On-Wall Set (excluding the
connector itself). This will ensure that you can turn the lens unit freely later on.
Cable that is too long can be stored easily within the On-Wall mount.

• Drilling the holes: Prepare the holes in the ceiling. Make sure that you have
the supplied dowels ready for this purpose. Use the supplied drilling tem­plate for the D22 On-Wall Set (fold-out at the end of this manual) to mark the
position for drilling the dowel holes and the holes through which the cables
will be led later on.

Procedure

• Apply a sufficient amount of silicone around
the holes at the back of the housing to pre­vent water from entering. When doing so,

make sure that you do not block or seal
off the condensation vent!

• Use the delivered screws to mount the On­Wall Set (without the camera) to the ceiling.

• If the cables are guided through one of the
openings in the On"Wall Set, insert the cables
into the On"Wall mount.

2.9 Mounting the D22 to a Wall Using the Wall Mount

Before mounting the MOBOTIX D22-IT/Secure with the Wall Mount you need to
prepare the network connection and drill the holes for the fixtures:

• Network connection: The network cabling is supplied through the opening in
the back of the wall mount. The cabling is perfectly protected by the mount
and cannot be seen or damaged. The wall mount can be mounted directly
on top of wall outlets (flush-mounted or above-the-wall types; maximum di­mensions of the outlet: 88x 80mm (3.5x 3.2in) width x height).

Use the factory pre-installed network cable of the D22 (50cm (20in) length).
This will ensure that you can turn the lens unit of the D22 freely later on.

• Drilling the holes: Prepare the holes in the wall. Make sure that you have the
supplied dowels ready for this purpose. Use the supplied drilling template for
the D22 Wall Mount (fold-out at the end of this manual) to mark the position
for drilling the dowel holes and the holes through which the cables will be
led later on.

Procedure

• Disengage the mounting ring from the
housing of the D22-IT/Secure. This ring is not

required when mounting the camera to the
Wall Mount.

• Use the delivered screws to mount the Wall
Mount (without the camera) to the wall (di­rectly on top of the cabling or the wall outlet).

Caution

Only use the factory pre-installed network cable of the MOBOTIX
camera. It is very important that the rubber plug of the network
cable reliably protects the housing from moisture entering the
camera. All openings of the camera housing need to be closed off
properly. This will ensure that the camera remains weatherproof.

• Connect the network cable to the network
cable of the camera using a patch cable
connector (or plug the cable directly into the
RJ45 wall outlet). Make sure to leave enough
unused cable within the housing. This will en­sure that you can turn the lens unit freely
later on. Cable that is too long can be stored
easily within the housing.

• Now press the D22 into the guides of the
wall mount. The tapered guides on the back
of the D22 housing fit exactly into the open­ings of the On-Wall mount.

2.10 Notes

2.10.1 Cleaning Instructions

Cleaning the Dome

• In order to protect the dome from being scratched and from getting dirty,
only handle the dome using a soft cotton cloth or the protective plastic of the
camera's shipping box.

• You should clean the dome at regular intervals. Always use a lint-free cotton
cloth for this purpose.

• If the dirt is more persistent, add a mild alcohol-free detergent without abra­sive particles.

• Make sure you instruct cleaning personnel on how to clean the camera.

Cleaning the Lens

• If the lens is dirty from the installation process, clean the lens using a lint-free
cotton cloth. Make sure that the lens is still in focus after cleaning and adjust
the lens' focus if required.

2.10.2 Wiring, Fire Prevention, Lightning and Surge Protection

When installing the wiring in or out of buildings, make sure you always adhere to
the relevant regulations on wiring, fire prevention and protection against lightnings.

MOBOTIX recommends having MOBOTIX cameras installed only by certified spe­cialists accustomed to installing network devices and having proper respect for the
applicable regulations regarding lightning protection and fire prevention as well as
the current technology for preventing damages from electrical surges.

Find more information on the subject at the International Electrotechnical Com-
mission (IEC, www.iec.ch) or at a manufacturer of protection devices against
lightning and electrical surges, such as Dehn (www.dehn.de).

Wiring

When installing the wiring, make sure you follow these guidelines:

• Data cable: Make sure you only use double-shielded
CAT 5/7 cable (S/STP) for Ethernet connections.

• Outdoors: Installing the camera outdoors requires spe­cial precautions and measures regarding the cables as
well as lightning and surge protection (see further be­low in this section).

• Wire lengths: The cable segments must not exceed
the maximum allowed cable lengths in order to ensure proper data transfer
(see section 3.3,

Connecting the Camera to the Network and to the Power

Supply

).

www.mobotix.com • [e-mail]

64/100

D22 Camera Manual Part 1

• Avoid induction: When running data cables parallel to existing regular po­wer lines or high-voltage wires, make sure you observe the minimum distan­ces to the power cables.

Fire Prevention

When installing the power lines to the camera, make sure you always adhere to
the relevant regulations on wiring and fire prevention at the site of the installation.

Lightning and Surge Protection

To prevent damage from lightnings and surges, make sure you follow these guide­lines:

• Lightning conductors: In areas exposed to lightning (e.g. on roofs), a distan­ce holder (1m (3ft) higher, 1m (3ft) away from the camera) and proper
lightning conductors need to be installed in order to prevent lightning strikes
into the camera and to ensure that the energy of a lightning strike is properly
led to the ground.

• Surge protection: Make sure you have installed proper protection against
electrical surges in order to prevent damage to the camera, the building and
the network infrastructure. This includes surge protectors for 19" racks, ad­ding an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) to the MOBOTIX camera, and in­stalling surge arresters or similar for routers, switches, servers, etc.

2.11 Camera Accessories

Power supply (MX-SNT-E/U/GB/J/AUS01-30-RJ)

The MOBOTIX power supply is required if you do not
use a Network Power Rack or Network Power Box,
or a PoE-compatible switch or router.

Network Power Adapter (MX-NPA-3-RJ)

The Network Power Adapter allows injecting the power supply for the MOBOTIX ca­mera into the network cable. It thus allows using the network cable for connecting
to the camera and for remotely supplying power (up
to 100m (300ft)). The Network Power Adapter is re­quired, if you are using the universal power supply,
and power is not supplied using a PoE switch/router
or a MOBOTIX Netpower Box/Rack.

Netpower Box for up to 4 Cameras (MX-NPR-4)

The MX-NPR-4 allows supplying power to up to four
MOBOTIX cameras via the network cable. The NPR-4
thus replaces four separate power supplies and four
Network Power Adapters. The Netpower Box delive­ry includes a (detachable) clip at the back, which
simply clicks onto DIN rails.

Netpower Rack for 8/20 Cameras (MX-NPR-8/20)

The MX-NPR-8/MX-NPR-20 allow supplying power
to up to 8/20 MOBOTIX cameras, respectively, via
the network cable. These NPRs thus replace 8/20
separate power supplies and the same number of
Network Power Adapters; they are easily mounted
in 19" racks (2 rack units).

Advantages of MOBOTIX PoE Products

• Zero maintenance and reliable without fans.

• Higher reliability of the system as a whole, since standard
switches without PoE can be used (lower risk of failure).

• Easy installation on DIN rails using supplied adapter (

MX-NPR-4

)

or in 19" racks (

MX-NPR-8/20

).

On-Wall Set

The D22 On-Wall set can re­liably protect external
cables if the cables cannot
be guided from below the
housing but have to be led
above the wall for technical
or legal reasons. In additi­on, the On-Wall mount provides ample space for extra modules.

In-Ceiling Set

The D22 In-Ceiling Set al­lows mounting the D22 ca­mera in fake ceilings, for ex­ample. This type of installa­tion provides optimum pro­tection for the camera and
reduces the visible profile to
a minimum since only the
dome is visible.

Vandalism Set

The D22 Vandalism Set provides added protection for D22 cameras. The set con­sists of a robust camera ring made of stainless steel and a reinforced dome made
from 3mm thick polycarbo­nate. A camera with vanda­lism set is perfectly suited
for applications in deman­ding environments (such as
prisons, social hot­spots,train stations, etc.).

Wall Mount

The D22 Wall Mount is the ideal solution for mounting the D22 to walls for indoor
and outdoor applications. The camera is absolutely dustproof and resistant against
water jets (IP65). The wall
mount also covers RJ45 wall
outlets and also has ample
space for additional modu­les.

Corner and Pole Mount

If you would like to mount the MOBOTIX D22 to a
pole, you should consider using the MOBOTIX Cor­ner and Pole Mount. The Corner and Pole mount
can only be used in conjunction with the Wall
Mount. The supplied stainless steel straps allow fix­ing the mount to poles with diameters between 60
and 180mm (2.4 to 7.1in).

By design, the Corner and Pole Mount does

not

allow using a wall outlet for the

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 con­forming 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 la­bel (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 (Win­dows 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.

3.2 Overview of the Configuration Settings

Once the connection has been established, you can configure the camera by click­ing on the Admin Menu button or the Setup Menu button.

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.

The wizard will guide you through the most important settings of the camera (confi­guration 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 up­dates) are carried out from the administration menu (Admin Menu button), which
requires the corresponding access rights (

admins

group, user name and pass-

word).

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 op­tions 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 without resetting the complete configuration to
factory defaults, you can use the Factory 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 previous configuration settings can be achieved using the Restore
button in most dialogs or by running Admin Menu> Restore last stored configu-
ration from flash (see also section 5.9,

Managing Settings

3.3 Connecting the Camera to the Network and to the Power

Supply

3.3.1 Notes on Cable Lengths and Power Supply

• The power supply of the camera can only be established using the 10Ba-
seT/NET connector of the camera with the (pre-installed) network cable. In or­der to supply power via the network cabling we recommend the MOBOTIX
PoE products (MxPoE, see also section 2.11,

Camera Accessories

):

• for one camera using the Network Power Adapter (MX-NPA-3-RJ)

• for up to four cameras using the Network Power Box (MX-NPR-4)

• for up to 8 or 20 cameras using the Network Power Rack (MX-NPR-8/20)

• The maximum length of the network cable for remotely supplying power is

100m (300ft).

• Make sure that you only use switches or routers that support the 10/100

Mbps Ethernet interface of the camera. Check the LED activity of the corre-

sponding port at the switch or router. When operating many cameras,
please also see section 4.11,

Operating Many Cameras

, in the

Software Man-

ual

, for additional hints.

• It is highly recommended to use uninterruptible power supplies (UPS),
which also protect the cameras and the network components against electri­cal surges.

• Advantages of MOBOTIX PoE Products:

- Zero maintenance and reliable without fans.

- Higher reliability of the system as a whole, since standard routers/swit-

ches without PoE can be used (lower risk of failure).

- Easy installation in 19" racks (

MX-NPR-8/20

) or on DIN rails (

MX-NPR-4

).

• If you are using IEEE 802.3af Power over Ethernet network components for
supplying power to MOBOTIX cameras, make sure that these components
do not have a fan. Since the power consumption of MOBOTIX cameras is
very low compared to other products, the reliability of the entire system is in­creased and the life cycle of these components is expanded.

3.3.2 Camera Startup Sequence

As soon as the power supply is established, the camera's LEDs will provide infor­mation on the startup sequence of the camera.

• Booting: Immediately after connecting the power supply, the red LED lights
up, blinks for two seconds, then stays on permanently. The camera's boot
loader checks the hardware, unpacks and starts the operating system. All
applications are verified using the checksums; in case of an error, the cam­era will start using the backup operating system.

• Waiting for key pressed: Both LEDs light up for four seconds. If you press the
"R" or "L" key of the camera during this time, the camera will execute the
corresponding function (see sections 3.5 and 3.6).

• Ready: Once the application software has been started, the green LED is on
permanently and the red LED blinks. You can now reach the camera via the
network using a browser. For additional information on this topic, see section

3.4 The First Image from the Camera

Once the Ethernet connection has been established, you have the following possi­bilities 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 ad­dress).

Determine the IP address of your computer:

• Open a command shell
(Windows) or a terminal
(Linux/UNIX/OSX) and en­ter the following com­mand:
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).

Working with the web­based user interface only
requires a web browser
with activated JavaScript!

Caution:
Netmask 255.0.0.0

Open a Command Prompt
(Windows):
Start> Run, enter "cmd",
then press [Return]

Note

Pressing the "R" key on the front of the camera will let the camera an-

nounce its current IP address, if an external speaker has been

attached.

Make sure that no other network device uses the camera's IP address:

• Open a command shell (Windows) or a terminal (Linux/UNIX/OSX) and enter
the following command:

ping <factory IP address>

If you receive an answer from another network device although the camera is not
connected, you will have to remove that device until you have reset the MOBOTIX
camera to a free IP address. We recommend using the Quick Installation wizard for
assigning a new IP address to the camera.

If your computer does not use an IP address in the 10.0.0.0 network (e.g. a

192.168.x.x or 172.x.x.x network), you should temporarily set a new IP address
in the 10.x.x.x range:

Windows 2000/XP

(1) Open the Network Con-

nections and open the
Properties of LAN Con­nection.

(2) Double-click Internet

Protocol (TCP/IP).

(3) On the General tab, acti-

vate the Use the follo-
wing address option.

(4) Enter an IP address (e.g.

10.1.0.11) in the class
A network (10.x.x.x)
that is unique in your
network and that is not
the same as the came­ra's IP address.

(5) Close all dialogs by clik-

king on OK.

Linux/UNIX/OSX

(1) Open a terminal as root user and enter the following command (eth0 or

en0 is usually the first network interface):

Linux/UNIX: ifconfig eth0:1 10.1.0.11
OS X: ifconfig en0:1 10.1.0.11

The computer now has the additional IP address 10.1.0.11, allowing it to access
the camera with its factory IP address in the 10.x.x.x network (10.1.0.99 in
this example).

Note

The MOBOTIX camera can announce its current IP address over the
speaker. For additional information on this topic, see section 3.6,

Start-

ing the Camera With an Automatic IP Address (DHCP)

.

MxControlCenter: In order to see the live image of the camera, you
can also use other applications or the integrated programming inter­face of the MOBOTIX camera. MxControlCenter for Windows is such
an application and is provided free of charge by MOBOTIX (see sec­tion 3.4.6,

The First Image in MxControlCenter

). Besides its ability to

display fast live video of up to 30 cameras simultaneously at 30fps

each on one PC, MxControlCenter also allows recording and playing

back video clips with lip-synchronous audio via the network and can
control pan/tilt heads using a joystick or the mouse. Download the
newest version of MxControlCenter from the MOBOTIX website. The
website contains more information on MOBOTIX systems as well as
the MxControlCenter User Manual.

From camera software version 3.0.3.37, MOBOTIX cameras automati­cally offer their web service within the network (see section 3.4.5,

Ac-

cess Using Zeroconf/Bonjour

). This means that the cameras will an­nounce themselves automatically in a Bonjour list in the web browser
and in MxControlCenter. Selecting one of the listed MOBOTIX cameras
will automatically display the camera's user interface in the browser
window or in MxControlCenter.

3.4.4 Camera Screens in the Browser

Per factory default, the MOBOTIX camera first shows the Live screen. You can set a
different start page in order to prevent others from changing the settings. In additi­on to this, you can assign user names and passwords to prevent unauthorized ac­cess or you can restrict access to the current live image only by setting the Guest
screen as the start page.

The following screens are available:

• Guest screen: Only shows the current live image with reduced frame rate
(see section 4.7,

Guest Screen

, in the

Software Manual

).

• Live screen: Shows the current live image and allows changing the

image and event settings of the camera (see section 4.3,

The Live Scre-

en in the Browser

, in the

Software Manual

).

• Playback screen: Shows all recorded images or video clips with exten-

ded functions for searching and downloading images, regardless of
where the images are stored (in the internal or the external ring buffer on a
file server or PC; see section 4.4,

The Playback Screen in the Browser

, in the

Software Manual

).

• MultiView screen: Shows multiple cameras or the last events in a freely
definable layout (see section 4.5,

The MultiView Screen in the Browser

,

in the

Software Manual

).

• PDA screen and PDA Event List: Both screens are optimized for PDAs with a

focus on fast data transmission with low bandwidth requirements (GSM,
GPRS) on devices with small displays (PDAs, mobile phones, sub notebooks).
The PDA Event List in particular gives a quick overview over the last events
since the live image is not transferred (see section 4.6,

Notes:

3.4.5 Access Using Zeroconf/Bonjour

Zeroconf (short for

Zero Configuration Networking

) describes the networking me­thod of automatically establishing an IP-based network without the help of servers
and without changing any settings. Zeroconf-capable devices automatically an­nounce their name and the service they are providing (printer, email server, etc.) in
the network. As a basic technology, Zeroconf is part of the current Windows, Linux
and Mac OSX operating systems.

Bonjour is the implementation of this service in Apple Mac
OSX from version 10.4; in Mac OSX 10.2 and 10.3, this serv­ice is called Rendezvous.

Bonjour is available free of charge for Windows computers
from the Apple web site www.apple.com/bonjour.

For Linux and Unix, Avahi provides the corresponding func­tionality.

For further information on Bonjour and Zeroconf, please consult

www.apple.com/macosx/features/bonjour and the Zeroconf web site
www.zeroconf.org.

From software version 3.0.3.37, MOBOTIX cameras automatically offer their web
service via Zeroconf/Bonjour. This means that the cameras will announce themsel­ves automatically in a Bonjour list in the web browser and in MxControlCenter. Se­lecting a MOBOTIX camera in the browser will display the camera's user interface
in the browser window; likewise, MxControlCenter will be able to find the camera.

D22M Camera Manual Part 1

Automatic network con­figuration for MOBOTIX
cameras using Zeroconf/
Bonjour

MOBOTIX cameras sup­port Bonjour by default
from software version

3.0.3.37!

Note

A major advantage of Zeroconf/Bonjour is that you do not need to
know the IP address or the name of the MOBOTIX camera in order
to access it.

Another advantage of Bonjour is that all cameras will be found
regardless if they are in the same subnet or in other subnets as
long as they are in the same physical network as the computer. If

the cameras are not in the same subnet, actually connecting to them
is not as easy. The name of the camera is listed in the web browser,
but connecting via HTTP will not work, however. Using MxControlCen-

ter allows reconfiguring the camera automatically for the subnet
of the computer. You can now easily reach the camera in a web
browser and MxControlCenter.

Apple Bonjour

Caution

When using the camera in a network with managed switches or inter­nal filewalls, make sure that port 5353 (UDP) is not blocked or else
Zeroconf/Bonjour will not work.

Prerequisites for using Zeroconf/Bonjour

MOBOTIX camera:

• Zeroconf has to be activated (Admin Menu> Ethernet Interface). This is the

factory default for MOBOTIX cameras from software version 3.0.3.37.

• The camera needs to be in the same physical subnet as the computer (Ad­min Menu> Ethernet Interface).

Operating system:

• Microsoft Windows (2000, XP, 2003,
Vista): Bonjour for Windows has to be in-

stalled (www.apple.com/bonjour).
The application also configures the Win­dows firewall, installs an add-on for Inter­net Explorer and the Java Bonjour librar­ies. The list of Bonjour-enabled network
devices is shown in Internet Explorer once
the Bonjour add-on has been activated
in the main toolbar of Internet Explorer.

• Macintosh OS X (10.2 or higher): Bonjour is included in the Apple operating
system. There is no other configuration required. The list of Bonjour-enabled
network devices is displayed in Safari after clicking on the Bonjour button.

• Linux: Zeroconf is included in KDE from version 3.4 and in Gnome from versi­on 2.8. The list of Bonjour-enabled network devices is displayed after ente­ring zeroconf:/ in the Konqueror address bar. The displayed list contains
all Zeroconf-enabled network services (see figure below). Clicking on /WWW
servers displays the list of all available MOBOTIX cameras (and all other
Bonjour-enabled devices). Linux users can also use the mdns-scan applica­tion in a terminal to search for Bonjour-enabled devices on the network.

Caution: Proxy servers
may cause errors when
trying to establish a con­nection

Note

If a proxy server is used in your network, you may get an error mes­sage when trying to access a MOBOTIX camera in the web browser.
Make sure that the list of proxy exceptions in your browser contains
the following entry:

*.local (Windows)
*.local. (Mac OS X)
.local. (Linux)

To find the proxy exceptions in Internet Explorer for Windows, open
Tools> Connections> LAN Settings> Settings> Proxy server> Ad­vanced and add the entry in the Exceptions text field.

To find the proxy exceptions in Mac OSX, open System Prefence­nes> Network> Proxies and add the entry in the Bypass proxy set­tings for these Hosts and Domains text field.

As an alternative, your network administrator can reconfigure the
proxy server so that it does not block .local addresses.

3.4.6 The First Image in MxControlCenter

MOBOTIX MxControlCenter is a free Windows application that allows displaying
multiple MOBOTIX cameras on one computer and provides alarm management

functions. It can easily handle displaying 30 cameras with CIF resolution simulta-

neously at 30fps each in MxPEG format on one standard PC with Intel Pentium4

and 3GHz.

MxControlCenter can do quite a bit more than simply display the video and audio
data from MOBOTIX cameras. The unique features of MxControlCenter in combina­tion with the MOBOTIX cameras create a full-featured security system: intelligent
alarm handling, various ways of arranging the camera views on different layouts
(MultiView screens), ability to display cameras that are sending alarm notifications,
the integrated camera management functions, and an array of other interesting
features.

If the desired MOBOTIX cameras are highlighted in the video source list, proceed to

Selecting Video Sources

.

Configuring MOBOTIX Cameras for a Different Network

Using Bonjour, MxControlCenter finds not only cameras on the same subnet (net­work range) but also MOBOTIX cameras located in other subnets (status:

Diffe-

rent subnet

). Normally, you would not be able to establish any connection to came­ras in a different network or subnet (without going into much further detail about
the complicated details of TCP/IP network configurations). This is possible, for
example, when a camera with a factory IP address is connected to a network in
which a DHCP server automatically assigns the IP addresses.

Click on

Configure network

in the context menu and MxControlCenter will auto-
matically reconfigure this camera so that it is "integrated" into your existing sub­net. However, MxControlCenter first needs some information about the subnet into
which the camera will be integrated. You can enter this information in the Confi-
gure Cameras dialog that opens automatically.

If your computer gets its IP
address automatically from a
DHCP server, then this is certain­ly the best choice for the new
camera and most likely for all
other cameras which have been
found in a different subnet
(Apply to all inaccessible ca-
meras checkbox).

If you have assigned a fixed IP
address to your computer, you
will certainly prefer to assign fi­xed IP addresses (issued by your system administrator) to every camera. In most
cases, you should enter a similar configuration as the one found for your compu­ter's Network Connections in the Properties of Internet protocol (TCP/IP) dialog.

Automatic camera con­figuration by MxControl­Center

MxControlCenter changes the network configuration of the current camera and, af­ter a short time, the camera also appears in the list with a new IP address and in
the same subnet as your computer.

Make sure that the Save camera configuration permanently checkbox is activa­ted so that the new network settings will be used from now on and not just until the
camera's next reboot

.

Defining Additional Video Sources

Besides automatically detecting MOBOTIX cameras, you can also manually add
other video sources to the list of available video sources in MxControlCenter.

• Automatic search: Scans the (physical)
network. This scan will find all MOBOTIX
cameras, regardless of whether they are
in the same subnet as the computer or in
a different one.

• Add camera manually: Enter a known IP
address or the DNS name of a MOBOTIX
camera if this camera had not been detec­ted during the automatic search in the first
place.

• Add MxPEG clip: Adds an MxPEG video clip previously recorded by a MOBO-
TIX camera as a video source.

• Add file server path: Adds the alarm images previously stored by a MOBO-
TIX camera on an external file server as a video source.

Selecting Video Sources

Highlight the desired video sources you would like to manage and display in
MxControlCenter.

Camera preview

If you select a camera with a status of

OK

,

MxControlCenter automatically displays the live

images from the camera in the preview win­dow. If you are using [Ctrl]-click to select several

cameras, the image from the camera selected
last is shown in the preview window. This feature
facilitates identifying the cameras you would like
to use.

3.5 Starting the Camera With an Automatic IP Address (DHCP)

If your network has a DHCP server, you can start the camera with DHCP support. In
this case, the DHCP server automatically assigns an IP address.

As soon as startup has been completed, the camera automatically announces its
IP address, its network mask and its MAC address (note that this feature requires
an external speaker). Note that this announcement function can be deactivated
(Admin Menu> Loudspeaker and Microphone).

Proceed as follows to start the camera using DHCP:

• If the camera is powered on, disconnect the power supply of the camera by
unplugging the corresponding cable.

• Reconnect power to the camera and observe the LEDs.

• Wait until both LEDs are lighting up simultaneously for the first time.

• Press the "R" key on the camera within four seconds.

• After about two more seconds, the camera plays a sound twice ("Boing, Bo­ing"), if an external speaker has been connected.

• After about another 15 seconds, the camera will announce its network data,
provided it has audio functionality.

You can now access the camera using the IP address it just announced and via
the list of Bonjour-enabled devices.

Note

If you would like to have a running camera repeat its network settings,
simply press the "R" key once. For D22 models, make sure that an
external speaker has been connected to hear the announcement.

Caution

When starting the camera with DHCP support, make sure that the net­work has a properly functioning DHCP server. If this is not the case,
the camera cannot obtain a valid IP address and will fall back to its last
known IP address.

You should also make sure that the DHCP server always assigns the

same IP addresses to the cameras by reserving the desired IP

address for the MAC address of every camera.

Press "R" key

3.6 Starting the Camera Using the Factory IP Address

In certain situations, it may become necessary to start the camera with its factory IP
address. This could be the case, for example, if the IP address has been lost or the
camera does not react to the last known IP address.

Proceed as follows to start the camera using its factory IP address:

• If the camera is powered on, disconnect the power supply of the camera by
unplugging the corresponding cable.

• Reconnect power to the camera and observe the LEDs.

• Wait until both LEDs are lighting up simultaneously for the first time.

• Press the "L" key on the camera within four seconds.

• After about two more seconds, the camera plays a single sound ("Boing"), if
an external speaker has been connected.

The camera is now accessible again using its factory IP address (see label on
the camera housing).
