1 INTRODUCTION

The D22M cameras are powerful yet compact MOBOTIX net­work cameras that are capable of creating high-resolution live
video streams (QXGA format: 2048x1536 pixels) 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 MxControlCenter (external speaker and microphone required;
not available on D22M-Basic).

The MOBOTIX D22M is
available as SECURE, IT or

Basic model with different

features (the Basic model
does not have audio fea­tures). The D22M can be fit­ted with any of the five M14
high-performance lenses.
Because of the low power
consumption of only
3Watts, the MOBOTIX
D22M cameras feature the
highest operating tempera­ture range in the market
from -30 to + 60°C (-22 to 140°F). Since MOBOTIX cameras neither fog up nor re­quire heating, power can be supplied via the network cabling using standard PoE
products. D22M IT and Secure models are absolutely dust-proof and resistant
against water jets (IP65; D22M-Basic: IP54). When mounted to the D22M Wall

Mount, the camera can be used in outdoor applications; the wall mount perfectly

covers wall outlets, thus providing completely concealed cabling.

Like all other MOBOTIX cameras, the D22M models have more to offer than only
the camera features. The integrated software features include a multitude of func­tions, such as video motion detection, long-term recording, alarm messaging
and video IP telephony to name but a few features. Unlike in camera systems
from other manufacturers,
buying and installing addi­tional software on the com­puter is thus unnecessary.
Instead of using a web
browser, you can also
download the free MxCon-

trolCenter from the MO-

BOTIX website, which allows
displaying multiple cameras
on one monitor, allows for
comfortably searching and

evaluating the alarm video clips and provides alerting
features (including audio).

While MxControlCenter has been providing virtual PTZ

features for quite a while, these features are now avail-

able directly in the MOBOTIX camera. This means that
you can continuously zoom into or out of the live image
using either the mouse wheel or a joystick. When stor­ing images or video sequences, you can choose to store
either the visible image area of the live image or the

full sensor image. The second option would also allow

examining the parts of an image or video after the event
that had not been in the visible image section of the live
image.

Another problem known from photography are the dis­tortions from wide-angle lenses. Straight lines at the im­age borders are bent inwards towards the corners. The
integrated distortion correction features of the camera
(and of MxControlCenter) allow correcting the bent lines
of various lenses using software algorithms.

The current MOBOTIX cameras support direct storage on the integrated

Flash storage media, internal SD cards and external USB media. The

MOBOTIX Secure R versions are a highlight in this respect as they are

delivered with an integrated Flash storage device (e.g. R8 with 8GB).

D22M-Basic

The D22M-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.

D22M-IT/Secure

The D22M 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 vandalism-prone areas. The
camera is weatherproof (IP65) and
thus suited for outdoor use.

Accessories for the MOBOTIX D22M

• 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,
...).

Vandalism Set (IP65)

The stainless steel cam­era ring is available in five
versions:

- matt

- polished

- white powder-coated

- black powder-coated

- silver powder-coated

D22M Vandalism Set in
different material and
color versions

• In-Ceiling Set: The In-Ceiling Set allows mounting the D22M 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.

• Wall Mount: The Wall Mount is the ideal solution for mounting the D22M 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.

• Pole Mount: If you would like to mount the MOBOTIX D22M to a pole, you
should consider using the MOBOTIX Pole Mount, which is used in combina­tion 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).

• Lenses, sensors: You can choose between five different lenses for the MO-

BOTIX D22M (M14 thread). IT and Secure models can be ordered either with
a daylight image sensor (color) or a night image sensor (black and white).

1.3 MOBOTIX D22M Concept

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

The MOBOTIX cameras deliver smooth live video display in VGA format (640x480
pixels) with synchronous live audio, yet it keeps the network load to a minimum.
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 allows simultaneously recording the
video from 30 cameras in continuous recording mode on one standard PC at

30 frames per second each, including the audio channel of the cameras.

Low bandwidth requirements

MOBOTIX' patent pending MxPEG streaming format allows fast live video with
audio at extremely low network loads (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 (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
via Internet (SIP) telephony is just as easy as event-controlled voice messages di­rectly from the camera (ISDN requires M12 or D12 model).

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 telephony allows establishing
SIP audio/video connections to the
camera using Windows Messenger
or similar applications (e.g. Counter­Path X-Lite/Eyebeam).

Long-term storage on file servers included

MOBOTIX cameras have an integrated long-term storage system for Linux, Win­dows and Mac OS X computers. Every camera manages its own ring buffer stor­age on the shared folder. Thanks to this decentralized approach, up to 30 live cam­eras can store images on one computer with 30 frames per second each, includ-

ing audio.

Recording on Flash, USB and SD storage media

The current MOBOTIX cameras support direct storage on the integrated Flash

storage media, internal SD cards and external USB media.

The MOBOTIX Secure R versions are a highlight in this respect as they are deliv­ered with an integrated Flash storage device (e.g. R8 with 8GB). These models
have been preconfigured at the factory for Flash device storage. By using Flash, the
camera features these additional possibilities:

• Stand-alone use of the camera without file server thanks to recording on
the Flash device.

• High-security application with recording on a file server or NAS/SAN in
which the Flash device serves as storage buffer. It can thus bridge longer fail­ures of the network or the file server without losing any video sequences
(supported in a future software version).

• Event downloads to USB media or SD cards for evaluation of the recorded

sequences on a computer.

30 live cameras using MxControlCenter

Instead of using a web browser, you can also
download the free MxControlCenter client 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 detected by the microphone exceeds a
set trigger value. Using scheduled recording, time tasks can start or stop video re­cording, uploading of images to a web site or sending of e-mails with video/audio
clips. Special programs control vacation times and holidays.

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.

Day & Night

The Night versions of the MOBOTIX cameras with only one image sensor (Mono)
deliver crisp and clear B/W images of moving objects even at night, MOBOTIX Day/
Night models (M12D-DNight und D12D-DNight) with two image sensors (1x color, 1x
B/W) deliver brilliant color images during the day and crisp B/W images at night.
The cameras switch lenses automatically, depending on the level of illumination.

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), 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 cameras are certified according to IP65 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 and cold (-30°C to +60°C; -22°F to +
140°F).

Logos, animated or freestyle

The logo generator of MOBOTIX
cameras allows integrating ban­ners and graphics (including files
loaded from any URL) into the cur­rent camera images—with op­tional scheduler control. MOBOTIX
cameras are the only network IP
cameras supporting animated
and transparent graphics.

Notes:

• Live images of up to 2048x1536 pixels resolution via network, ISDN, GSM,
GPRS, UMTS, wireless with up to 30fps (at VGA resolution 640x480), also
adapted for PDAs.

• Continuous digital zoom (up to 8x zoom) and integrated panning (clicking
with the mouse near the borders of the image will move the visible image
area within the full image).

• True software scaling using the proven and continuously improved MO-
BOTIX algorithms, which delivers brilliant images even with smaller image
formats (e.g. 320 x 240/CIF).

• Audio video recording* with three different recording modes: Event record­ing with audio, continuous recording with variable frame rate and audio as
well as event-controlled snapsShot recording of JPEG images.

• Storage failure detection can monitor a file server (or a Flash device) and
can use one or more of the defined messaging options for error notification.

• Playback of recorded images/video sequences with audio in the integrated
video management system.

• Multiwatcher screen can display and monitor several cameras via the Inter-
net, with only one camera requiring access from the outside. This “proxy”
camera uses only very little bandwidth, making it an ideal solution for low­bandwidth connections.

• MultiView screen for displaying multiple cameras or events in one browser
window.

• Event notification by e-mail, SMS (using a provider), voice notification (Phone
Call-Out), sounds and by visual means (e.g. red frame in live image) using
two separate messaging paths.

• Object tracing for analyzing the paths of objects that are moving in the im-
age.

• Logo generator for displaying logos in the camera images with dialogs for
managing image files and defining image and logo profiles for controlling
logo display.

• Logos can have transparent areas and can be displayed partially transpar­ent at the same time (creating a watermark effect), banner rotation and ani­mations are also possible.

• 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 con­trolling 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 comfortably controlling transmissions via FTP, e-mail,
phone calls and network messages.

• Speaker phone* with talk, listen and intercom modes via Internet teleph-
ony (SIP) and ISDN using the integrated microphone and speaker.

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

• MxPEG video compression using MOBOTIX MxControlCenter. The ActiveX
plug-in for Internet Explorer users brings all advantages of MxPEG to the
browser-based user interface (including the audio stream from and to the
camera).

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

• DynDNS client for accessing the camera via the Web 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.

• Inerasable backup operating system that is used to restart the camera in
the event that a software update has failed, allowing you to restart the up­date process.

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

• Notifications upon errors or when rebooting provide a method for execut-
ing one or more notifications if the camera detects errors or when it reboots
(e.g. blinking of the camera LEDs, audio message, FTP, e-mail, phone call,
network message).

• Extended security features protect pages and features of the camera and
prohibit unauthorized access (IP-level access control, intrusion detection) and
also provide SSL-protected transmission of the video sequences and the data
(using SSL encryption and X.509 certificates).

1.4 Lens Options, Hardware and Software Features

MOBOTIX currently offers five standard lenses with M14 thread from Super Wide­Angle 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. This makes all MOBOTIX lenses ex­tremely robust and maintenance-free.

• 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 maximum digital zoom. If a camera with this lens has
been mounted in the corner of a room, the complete room is visible on the image.

Note

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

xx

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.

1.5 Important Notes

1.5.1 Weatherproofness

The MOBOTIX D22M IT and Secure models reach protection class IP65 (absolutely
dustproof, resistant against water jets) and are an excellent choice for outdoor ap­plications when used with the D22M Outdoor wall mount. The Basic model of the
MOBOTIX D22M reaches protection class IP54.

1.5.2 Password for the Administration Menu

Accessing the administration area of the camera (Admin Menu button) is only pos­sible after entering a user name and password:

• Factory default user: admin

• Factory default password: meinsm

The Quick Installation wizard will appear automatically when accessing the Ad­ministration Menu for the first time. It provides an easy method to adjust the basic
camera settings to the current application scenario. For security reasons, it is

highly recommended to change the default administrator password after the
camera has been configured properly.

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

1.5.3 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. You can permanently
and irreversibly deactivate the microphone in the Admin Menu> Loudspeaker

and Microphone dialog.

© MOBOTIX AG • Security-Vision-Systems • Made in Germany

www.mobotix.com • [e-mail]

24/108

D22M Camera Manual Part 1

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 Administration 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.

1.5.4 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.

1.5.5 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 Ad-

dress

, if you would like to maintain existing users.

1.5.6 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
standard event features. The camera now displays the video motion detection win­dow in the live image (dotted frame in the center) and the camera automatically
stores images as soon as the video motion window detects movements.

1.5.7 Deactivating Text and Logo Options

As the camera arming is deactivated in its default configuration (see preceding
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 above), 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 Set-
tings 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

.

You can reset specific
parts of the configuration

If the dotted frame is
visible in the live image of
the camera, the camera is

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

1.5.8 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. If desired, you can deactivate or delete the automatic
reboot of the camera in the Admin Menu> Time Tasks dialog.

1.5.9 ISDN Compatibility Notes

MOBOTIX M12, D12 and V12 cameras are compatible with Euro ISDN standard
TBR3/TBR3 A1. MOBOTIX offers special models for the Japanese market that sup-

port the Japanese ISDN standard. For additional information on this topic, see the
Japanese section at www.mobotix.com. MOBOTIX M22M-, D22M and Q22M
models do not possess ISDN functionality.

1.5.10 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.

Section 3.4.5,

Browser Settings

, contains information on possible browser prob-

lems.

1.5.11 Cleaning Instructions

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

1.5.12 Safety Warnings

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. For more information on
wiring and potential dangers, see the section

Wiring, Fire Prevention, Lightning and

Surge Protection

at the end of chapter2.

2 MOUNTING THE CAMERA

2.1 Preparing the Installation

Before mounting the MOBOTIX D22M, 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,
pole mounting with 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 D22M 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 D22M and the available acces­sories, please also refer to shop.mobotix.com.

2.1.1 Mounting to a Ceiling or Wall

The MOBOTIX D22M 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 moni-

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

It is also possible to mount the
D22M 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 D22M 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.

Surveillance of a complete
room with only one camera

2.1.2 Additional Mounting Options for IT/Secure Models

On-Wall Mounting (D22M-OPT-AP)

The 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 On­Wall mount provides ample space for extra modules.

In-Ceiling Mounting (D22M-OPT-TC)

The In-Ceiling Set allows mounting the 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 (D22M-OPT-VANDAL-...)

The Vandalism Set provides added protection for the
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 (D22M-OPT-WH)

The Wall Mount is the ideal solution for mounting the
camera 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 Poles Using the Pole Mount (D22M-OPT-MH)

If you would like to mount the camera to a pole,
you should consider using the MOBOTIX 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).

2.1.3 Network Connection and Power Supply, UPS

Power-over-Ethernet (MxPoE)

Power is supplied to all D22M 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 D22M also supports the Power-over­Ethernet standard IEEE 802.3af. You can hence use switches or routers that sup-

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

Sections 3.3 ff

contain more information on the possible combinations of connect-

ing the D22M and power supply options.

The D22M supports the
MOBOTIX PoE products
for power injection into
the network cabling
(MxPoE) and the Power­over-Ethernet standard
IEEE 802.3af (PoE)

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 D22M, 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 D22M, you should make sure that the network connections
have been properly tested, so that the proper functioning of the camera is guaran­teed.

Please make sure that you follow the notes in section 2.10.2,

Wiring, Fire Preven-

tion, Lightning and Surge Protection

.

If you would like to use an external audio connection, you will have to install an
additional MOBOTIX D22M audio cable into the camera's housing. Please send
an email to [e-mail] to get more information on this
topic.

D22M Camera Manual Part 1

Notes:

2.5 Mounting the Camera

2.5.1 D22M-IT/Secure

Before mounting the MOBOTIX D22M-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 cam­eras will have to be mounted using either the On-Wall set or the Outdoor
Wall Mount. The cameras 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 D22M-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,

template for the mounting
ring of the D22M-IT/Se­cure models at the end of
the manual!

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 D22M-Basic

Before mounting the MOBOTIX D22M-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 out-

let (either flush-mounted or on-wall types). Note, that the cabling remains
visible in this case. The D22M-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 D22M-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.

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 D22M-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.

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.

Establishing a Connection to the Camera

• Establish a connection to the camera as described in section 3.4,

Establish-

ing 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 deliv­ered 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

excessive 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. Never turn the lens to far into the lens mount and never apply

excessive force when doing so as this would damage the lens mount
otherwise.

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 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.

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 D22M 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 D22M 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 D22M 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 D22M 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 D22M 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 D22M to the ceiling and using the D22M wall
mount is also not possible, you should consider using a MOBOTIX D12
instead. MOBOTIX D12 models are more flexible than the D22M when
positioning the camera modules thanks to the larger housing.

2.6 Mounting the D22M to a Ceiling Using the On-Wall Set

Before mounting the MOBOTIX D22M-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 D22M 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.

• Disengage the mounting ring from the hous­ing of the D22M-IT/Secure. This ring is not
required when mounting the camera to the
On-Wall Set.

• Connect the network cable to the network
cable of the camera using a patch cable con­nector. 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 On-Wall mount.

• Now press the D22M into the guides of the
On-Wall mount. The tapered guides on the
back of the D22M housing fit exactly into the
openings of the On-Wall mount.

2.9 Mounting the D22M to a Wall Using the Wall Mount

Before mounting the MOBOTIX D22M-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 D22M (50cm (20in)
length). This will ensure that you can turn the lens unit of the D22M 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 D22M 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 D22M-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).

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

).

68/108

D22M 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 (MX-D22-OPT-AP)

The 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 (MX-D22-OPT-TC)

The In-Ceiling Set allows
mounting the 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 (MX-D22-OPT-VANDAL-...)

The Vandalism Set provides
added protection for the
camera. 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.).

Wall Mount (MX-D22-OPT-WH)

The Wall Mount is the ideal
solution for mounting the
cameras 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.

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 computer is

not

in the same IP
address range as the camera
(10.x.x.x), you should install MxCon-

trolCenter (see section 3.4.6). Next, use

the integrated Zeroconf/Bonjour func­tionality to establish a connection to the
camera. If this is not possible, you can
temporarily assign a matching IP
address to your computer (see section

3.4.1).

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.

The configuration follows these steps:

1) Establish the first connection (via the Ethernet network).

2) Set the parameters for the desired connection type (Quick Installation).

3) Set the event control (Events, Actions and Messages); see chapter 7,

Events,

Actions and Messages

in the

Software Manual

.

4) Set the storage parameters (internal storage, FTP, file server or Flash device).

5) Store the configuration in the camera's permanent storage (flash).

ration

Note

After first booting a new MOBOTIX camera or after resetting to factory
defaults, accessing the Administration menu (Admin Menu button) will
automatically start the Quick Installation wizard. This is where you
configure the most important camera parameters in a step-by-step
manner. If you have completed the Quick Installation wizard at least
once, the standard Administration menu will open when you click on
the Admin Menu button.

3.2 Overview of the Configuration Settings

Using the Quick Installation wizard

After booting the camera for the first time 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 (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).

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. Use the options of the Image Pro-

grams Quick Control for easily and quickly adjusting the camera to the current

application scenario, since the image programs perform several configuration

steps at once. For additional information on the image programs, see section

5.5.2,

Image Programs

, in the

Software Manual

.

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 can do
so using the Manage Settings> Restore Image Settings Quick Control 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,

ual

).

Once you have finished configuring the camera, you should always store the set-

tings in the camera's permanent memory. You can do so in each dialog (clicking

on Set at the bottom of each dialog will temporarily set the changes; clicking on
Close will ask you to store the complete configuration in the cameras permanent
memory) or in the Configuration section of the administration menu (Admin
Menu> Store current configuration into flash memory).

The Configuration section of the administration menu provides more functions for
storing, copying and managing camera settings. For additional information on this
topic, see chapter 5,

Basic Camera Configuration

, in the

Software Manual

.

A camera that keeps time

Apart from a multitude of possibilities for controlling the camera using time (time
tables, holiday and vacation, scheduled tasks, etc.), the camera can also synchro-
nize its internal clock. This allows you to keep the camera in synch manually with
a computer or fully automatic using a time server or another MOBOTIX camera.
The camera can use NTP time servers or time servers providing Time Protocol (RFC

868). For additional information on this topic, see section 5.4.2,

Date and Time /

Time Zones and Time Servers

, in the

Software Manual

.

The “More” and “Less” buttons

When opening some of the camera dialogs, only the most important configuration
options are displayed by default. These dialogs have a More button in the bottom
right corner; click on it to display additional options. If all options are displayed,
click on the Less button to hide the additional options.

3.3 Connecting the Camera, Power Supply

3.3.1 Notes on Cable Lengths and Power Supply

• The power supply of the MOBOTIX camera can only be established using
the 10BaseT/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/

switches 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 cam-
era 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

5.4.3,

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

address 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).

then press [Return]

The factory IP address is
printed on the sticker on
the camera

Example: 10.1.0.99

Note

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

announce 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 follow-
ing 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 click-

ing 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).

3.4.2 The First Image in the Browser

Now that you have successfully started the
camera for the first time, you can access
the camera using your preferred browser
to see the live video stream and the user
interface. Internet Explorer, Mozilla, Firefox,
Safari, Camino or any other graphical browser with activated JavaScript is suitable.
The operating system is of no importance, even PDAs can be used without any
problems, provided a web browser is available on the device.

After entering the camera's IP address in the browser address bar (e.g. http://

10.1.0.99), you will see the Live screen of the MOBOTIX camera with its user

interface controls, such as softbuttons, buttons for the different camera screens,
pull-down menus (

Note

Factory default configuration: Every MOBOTIX camera has its individ-

ual factory IP address (e.g. 10.1.0.99). This IP address is printed on
a sticker on the camera. If you have started the camera using DHCP or
you have set the IP address manually, enter the new IP address in the
browser address bar (e.g. 192.168.0.99) instead of the factory IP
address. To have the camera announce its current IP address over the
speaker, simply press the key marked "R" on the camera housing.
For additional information on this topic, see section 3.5,

Starting 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. Besides
its ability to display fast live video of up to 30 cameras simultaneously

at 30fps each on one computer, MxControlCenter also allows record-

ing 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.

3.4.3 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:

• Live screen: Shows the current live image and allows changing the
image and event settings of the camera. This is the factory default start

page of the camera.

• Playback screen: Shows all recorded images or video clips with
extended functions for searching and downloading images, regardless

of where the images are stored (internal camera storage, external ring file
server/computer, Flash device).

• MultiView screen: Shows multiple cameras or the last events in a freely
definable layout.

• Multiwatcher screen: Shows a user-friendly and customizable screen for

monitoring several cameras via Internet, while using very little transmission
bandwidth.

• 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.

• Guest screen: Only shows the current live image with reduced frame rate.

One important application of this screen is to make the live image available
for specific users without giving them the opportunity to change the configu­ration or the image settings of the camera.

Notes:

3.4.4 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.

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).

Apple Bonjour

Caution

When using the camera in a network with managed switches or inter­nal filewalls, make sure that port 5353 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

installed (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

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.

Bonjour for Windows automatically configures the proxy exceptions in
the Windows firewall upon installation.

3.4.5 Browser Settings

Current browsers with activated JavaScript (Internet Explorer, Netscape, Mozilla,
Firefox, Safari, Konqueror, Opera, Camino, etc.) can show the camera's live images
without changing the default settings. Text-based browsers (e.g. lynx) cannot dis­play the user interface and are

not

suitable for operating the camera. A restrictive
configuration of a browser or operating system, however, will prevent certain cam­era features from working properly and may even make working with the camera
impossible. This can also be caused by the selected security or browser cache set­tings or if proxy servers are used.

You may experience problems in the following areas:

• Popup Blocker: Popups are windows that display (mostly unwanted) win­dows without user interaction (in this case, the web server of the MOBOTIX
camera creates these windows). While active popup blockers make sense
when surfing websites on the Internet, they may prevent individual windows
from being displayed when used together with a MOBOTIX camera. The
MOBOTIX camera creates individual popup windows in order to display
detailed information (e.g. the

Network Test Log

window, see section 5.3,

Con-

nection Test

, in the

Software Manual

). Since popup blockers are available not
only in browsers but in plug-ins as well (e.g. in the Google toolbar), you need
to take care that this issue is resolved properly.

To circumvent this problem, you can either deactivate popup blockers in gen­eral or you can enter the respective camera IP addresses or address ranges
in the exception lists of the popup blocker or browser (recommended).

• Browser Cache: Browsers store viewed pages locally in the cache of your
computer. This minimizes the transfer time and reduces bandwidth. There is,
however, a chance that you may see outdated information. When updating
the camera software, this can cause negative side effects.

To avoid this, it is recommended that you configure your browser cache so
that the cache contents are automatically compared to the contents of the
website every time you access a website. While the software is updated, it is
recommended that you either deactivate the cache or set it to its minimum
size.

• Proxy Server: Similar to browser caches, proxy servers (predominantly used
in larger networks) are used to temporarily store website files so that these
files can be sent to a browser without having to download them again.
When updating the camera software, for example, proxy servers can block
the entire process or parts of it.

If a proxy server is used in your local network, it is strongly recommended
that you enter the cameras' IP addresses (or a corresponding camera sub­net) as proxy exceptions (see chapter6,

Software Updates

, in the

Software

Manual

).

• Security Settings: Restrictive browser security settings may complicate or
even prevent using the browser-based user interface of the MOBOTIX cam­era. Make sure that JavaScript or Active Scripting (whichever is appropriate)
are activated. It is recommended to add the camera IP addresses to the list
of trusted sites. This is especially important if you intend to install the MxPEG
ActiveX plug-in of older camera software versions for fast video and audio
streaming (see section 4.3.5,

Browser Settings, ActiveX-Plug-in

, in the

Soft-

ware Manual

).

• Colored Buttons: Internet Explorer
version 6 or higher (on computers
running Windows XP or higher) will
not display colored buttons on the

browser-based user interface.

These versions of Internet Explorer
always use the color settings of the
operating system for the browser
buttons. In order to display colored
buttons, you can deactivate the vis­ual styles in the extended Internet

options of Internet Explorer.

3.4.6 The First Image in MxControlCenter

MOBOTIX MxControlCenter is a free-of-charge application, which provides a

means for displaying and managing many MOBOTIX cameras and their alarms
on one computer. On top of this, MxControlCenter can simultaneously display 30

MOBOTIX cameras with 30 frames per second in CIF format and MxPEG
encoding on a standard Pentium4 computer with 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.

Installing MxControlCenter

If you have an MxControlCenter installation CD, insert it into your com­puter drive.

If this is not the case or if you would like to update an older version, you
can download the latest MSI or ZIP file from the MOBOTIX website. The
latest version is available at www.mobotix.com> Support> Software
Downloads in the MxControlCenter section.

If you are using the installation CD, the installation process starts automatically and
leads you through the necessary steps. If you have downloaded the Installer, sim­ply double-click the MSI file to start the installation process.

The installer automatically creates shortcuts for the most important applications on
your desktop.

Installing MxControlCenter

) or

the program file itself to start MxControlCenter.

Automated Search for MOBOTIX Cameras

If you start MxControlCenter for the first time or if you have not yet stored a start
layout with the desired video sources (i.e. MOBOTIX cameras), the Open Video
Sources dialog will open and automatically starts scanning the network.

After all MOBOTIX cameras have been identified, MxControlCenter performs an
operational test on the cameras to determine their status and then lists them
according to the legend.

Next, MxControlCenter automatically selects all cameras.

button.

If the desired MOBOTIX cameras are shown as

), proceed to the

Selecting Video Sources

section further below.

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

Dif-

ferent subnet

). In such a case, 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.

Right-click on a camera, then click on

Configure network

in the context menu and
MxControlCenter will automatically 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 Configure 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 selected cameras
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
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.

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 sev-

eral 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.
