1 INTRODUCTION

The M22M cameras are powerful yet compact MOBOTIX net­work cameras, that 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 trans-

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

McControlCenter.

Similar to previous MOBOTIX cameras, M22M cameras are available as SECURE,

IT, WEB and BASIC models, with WEB and BASIC models just missing the microphone.

The M22M can be fitted with one of the five M14 high-performance lenses or with CS
mount lenses (model M22M-Sec-CSVario).

Like all other MOBOTIX cameras, M22M 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 soft-

ware on the computer is thus unnecessary. In­stead of using a web browser, you can also
download the free MxControlCenter for Win­dows from www.mobotix.com, which allows
displaying multiple cameras on one monitor.
Moreover, MxControlCenter can also process in­coming alarms from the camera and allows for
comfortably searching and evaluating the alarm
video clips (including audio).

Because of the low power consumption of only
3Watts, the MOBOTIX M22M 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. M22M models are absolutely dust-proof and
resistant against water jets (IP65). All models come with a wall mount that covers
wall outlets and conceals the cabling.

Using the MX Connector with USB socket, you can
directly connect the MOBOTIX Cam-IO expansion
box, which simplifies installing the camera and ex­pands on these possibilities. All external devices,
sensors and the Ethernet cabling are connected di­rectly to the expansion box. Likewise, the MOBOTIX

Cam-IO installation box connects directly to the

mains and supplies power to the camera, without
requiring any other type of power supply.

M22M Pole Mount

If you would like to mount the MOBOTIX M22M to a
pole, you should consider using the MOBOTIX Pole
Mount, which is used in combination with the stan­dard SecureFlex 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
MOBOTIX M22M (M14 thread). IT and Secure mo­dels can be ordered either with a daylight image
sensor (color) or a night image sensor (black and
white).

The M22M-Sec-CSVario model is delivered with a
CS mount and a compact L24-L54 1/2" lens.

1.3 MOBOTIX M22M 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 allows simultane-

ous 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 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*

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.

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!

* Web and Basic models
do not have a 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 the integrated CF card (optional)

For most applications, the MOBOTIX-installed CF card provides more than enough
storage space, since this flash card (2GB and higher) stores the audio/video data
permanently, even after power failures. If long-term storage on a file server has
been set up, the CF card adds yet another layer of security against loss of data, as
the flash 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 devel
oped). 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 versions of the M22M-IT/Secure models deliver 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 Net-

work 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 M22M cameras are certified according to IP65 (absolutely dustproof and
resistant against water jets) 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).

Easy Installation Using the Cam-IO Installation Box

The Cam-IO Installation box greatly facilitates setting up a security system as this
module carries all pins of the MX Interface Connector and simplifies connecting
external devices and sensors. Besides supplying power to the camera, the installa­tion box can power lamps with up to
500W/230V (max. 4A) and has heavy­duty connectors for the remaining pins of
the D Sub 15 HD socket (e.g. Line In/Out or
signal inputs of the camera).

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.

1.4 Feature Overview of the MOBOTIX M22M

The MOBOTIX M22M includes the following main features (some features are model­dependent):

• Live images of up to 1280x 960 pixels resolution via network and WiFi with
up to 30fps (at 640x 480 VGA resolution), also adapted for PDAs.

• Digital zoom with three stages (1x, 2x, 4x) and integrated panning (from 2x:
clicking in the browser image will move the zoomed image section in the corre­sponding direction).

• True software scaling using the proven and continuously improved MOBO-
TIX algorithms, which deliver 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 Snapshot recording of JPEG images.

• Telephony functions (SIP) for Phone Call-In and remote-controlling from touch­tone phones as well as voice phone calls from the camera for alarm messag­ing purposes.

• SIP Video (Internet telephony) with support for e.g. Windows Messenger,
X–Lite/Eyebeam and video phones.

• File server tests can monitor a file server and use one or more of the defined
messaging options for error notification.

• Camera tests where several cameras monitor one another, with failure noti-
fication using the defined messaging options.

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

• 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
image.

• 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 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).

• 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 M22M

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 M22M (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 M22M. 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.

M22M 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 MOBOTIX M22M—Weatherproof with IP65

The MOBOTIX M22M is IP65-certified (absolutely dustproof, resistant against water
jets) and can be used from -30 to +60°C (-22 to +140°F).

1.6.2 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

adminstrator password after the camera has been configured properly.

1.6.3 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.

1.6.4 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.

18/76

M22M 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.

1.6.5 Resetting the Camera to Factory Defaults

All settings of the MOBOTIX camera can be reset 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.

1.6.6 Activating Event Control for Security Applications

In its default configuration, the camera's event control and video motion detection
features are not enabled. In order to activate event control as a whole, open
Setup Menu> General Event Settings and activate the Arming switch or click on
the Arm& Record softbutton of the browser interface. The video motion detection
window is visible again (dotted frame in the center of the live image) and the cam­era stores images as soon as the video motion window detects movements.

1.6.7 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1.6.6), 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

.

1.6.8 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.

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

Reboot camera

task. This will prevent the camera from rebooting automatically.

1.6.10 Rubber Plugs for Connectors

Always make sure that you use the correct plugs for
the cables entering the camera: NET for the Ethernet
cable, USB for the USB cable. Also make sure that
the plugs are properly seated!

1.6.11 Cleaning Instructions – Cleaning the Lens

If the lens is dirty from the installation process, clean
the lens using a lint-free cotton cloth.

1.6.12 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 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 for

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,

Wiring, Fire Prevention, Lightning and Surge Protection

, contains more

information on these topics.

2 MOUNTING THE CAMERA

2.1 Preparing the Installation

2.1.1 Network Connection and Power Supply, UPS

Power over Ethernet (MxPoE)

Power is supplied to all M22M 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 2.11,

Camera Accessories

, for more information on these and other

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

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 M22M, make sure that the-

se 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.

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

Besides MOBOTIX MxPoE, the MOBOTIX M22M also supports the Power-over-
Ethernet standard IEEE 802.3af. You can hence use switches or routers that sup-

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

Section 3.3,

Connecting the Camera to the Network and the Power Supply

, contains
more information on the possible combinations of connecting the M22M and
power supply options.

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.

2.1.2 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 M22M, you should make sure that the network connec­tions have been properly tested, so that the proper functioning of the camera is
guaranteed.

).

In order to increase the tilt of the camera, turn the vertical tilt joint by 180 degrees or
shorten it.

2.7.1 Mounting to a Wall

Before attempting to mount the camera,
make sure that you have found the best
camera position. It is important that the
camera's field of view is not obstructed in
any way.

Once the camera has been mounted to
the wall, you can fine-tune its position.
Using the integrated SecureFlex wall
mount, the camera can be turned hori­zontally and tilted vertically.

When mounted to a wall, the camera
can be turned/tilted as follows:

• horizontally: approx. 180°

• vertically: approx. 70°

2.7.2 Mounting to the Ceiling

2.7.3 Converting the Wall Mount to Ceiling Mount

If the camera is to be mounted to a ceiling, it is necessary to convert the SecureFlex
wall mount. Proceed as outlined in the following:

• Unscrew the Allen screw in the mount, which holds the turn/tilt unit in place
(5mm Allen wrench). Remove the Allen screw, the washer and the hex nut
from the mount and unplug the cover.

• Gently pull the turn/tilt unit and the installed cable out of the vertical open­ing of the mount.

• First insert the cable, then the turn/tilt unit into the horizontal opening of the
mount (all the way to the stop).

• Press the cover into the unused opening of the mount.

• Place the hex nut into the corresponding hole, insert the Allen screw with
washer and lightly fasten the screw so that you can still easily move the cam­era.

Converting the ceiling mount back to wall mount follows the steps in reverse order.

2.7.4 Mounting the Camera over Wall Outlets

Mounting the SecureFlex mount to a wall allows covering RJ45 wall outlets (without
frame) and also allows using a defined network end point.

When positioning the wall outlet, make sure that the
outlet lines up with the upper rim of the mount later
on (see figure below and the drilling template at the
end of the manual).

If no wall outlet is present, use a suitable extension
or an adapter to connect the camera to the network.

When installing an above-the-wall assembly,
breaking out one of the four openings in the base of
the mount will provide for properly guiding the cable
into the mount.

2.7.7 Mounting the Pole Mount and the Camera

Use the supplied stainless steel straps (item2.5) for affixing the pole mount to the
pole.

•Guide the connector cables of the camera
from behind through the opening at the cen­ter of the pole mount. In order to properly
protect the cabling, you should let the cab­ling run from the inside of the pole through
the pole mount directly into the camera.

Note: The cable to the camera should be
running at least 50cm (20") outside of the
pole!

• Guide the stainless steel straps (item2.5)
through the pole mount (see figure). The
stainless steel straps allow attaching the
mount to poles with diameters between 60
and 180mm (2.4" to 7.1").

• Firmly tighten the screws of the stainless

steel straps.

• Unscrew the upper Allen screw in the foot of
the mount, which holds the turn/tilt unit in
place (5mm Allen wrench, item1.3). Remove
the Allen screw, washer and hex nut from the
mount and pull the turn/tilt unit out of the
mount's foot.

M22M Camera Manual Part 1

Notes

Above-the-wall assembly:

When installing an above-the-wall assembly instead of using a wall
outlet, you can break out one of the four cable openings in the foot of
the mount to properly guide the cable into the mount.

Mounting the camera outdoors:

When using a wall outlet for an outdoors installation, you should
use silicone sealant to prevent water from entering the wall outlet and
the cabling by sealing off the mount's foot against the wall. You should
break out the lower cable opening in the mount's base to prevent con­densation from accumulating. Make sure not to seal off this opening.

When using an above-the-wall assembly, make sure that you install
the cable from the bottom-most cable opening in order to prevent
rainwater from entering the mount. When using an above-the-wall
assembly, sealing off the SecureFlex mount and the wall is not absolu­tely necessary. Make sure that condensation can exit the mount
despite the above-the-wall assembly. Make sure not to seal off this
opening.

Wall thickness:

Make sure that the wall is at least five centimeters (2") thick if you
intend to use the supplied dowels and screws.

2.9 Lens Options

MOBOTIX offers five different lenses from Super Wide
Angle (L22) to Te le (L135). Since the M22M is backlight-

proof, these lenses do not require an auto iris. Without
the iris as a mechanical component, these glass
lenses are extremely robust and maintenance-free.
The standard lens for the M22M Secure and IT models
is the Super Wide Angle lens with a horizontal field of

vision of approx. 90°. Although the Super Wide Angle

is a super wide-angle lens, it shows very little distor­tion and delivers good image quality, even when using
the 4x zoom of the M22M. 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.

39/76

M22M Camera Manual Part 1

L22 Super Wid e Angle lens

Note

MOBOTIX lens designations 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 and thus results in the MOBOTIX designation “L22” for
the Super Wide Angle lens.

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

2.9.1 CS Mount Version

The M22M-Sec-CSVario is delivered with a CS
mount and a compact L24-L54 1/2" vario lens. To
protect the lens against the weather, this version
comes with a longer lens cover (43mm inside,
53mm outside) with integrated glass pane and
threads for an external filter (40.5mm x 0.5mm).
This cover will work for lenses, which have a maxi­mum diameter of 36mm and which are not longer
than 43mm.

Because of the image sensor's size of 1/2", you can only use CS and C mount lenses
(C mount lenses with adapter ring) for 1/2" sensors or larger. Using other lenses will
produce shadows at the image borders and will reduce image sharpness. Vario
lenses are not maintenance-free, they are definitely less robust and less reliable in
the long run as compared to the MOBOTIX M14 fixed lenses. This is why the vario
lenses are typically used in applications where locations are changing frequently, e.g.
in industrial applications.

2.9.2 Lens Cover with Glass Pane

As an additional accessory, a heavy-duty lens
cover with a front glass pane is available for the
M22M models. This will improve the durability of
the lens cover when used in rough conditions (at
the sea, in sand storms, etc.). This lens cover also
has a thread size that fits external filters
(40.5mmx 0.5mm) available from photo shops.
For example, you could install a polarization filter
to cancel out the reflections from windowpanes or
windshields.

Using this lens cover together with the L22 Super Wide Angle lens is not recom­mended, since this lens cover produces shadows at the image borders.

2.9.3 Changing Lenses

As described in section 2.9,

Lens Options

, the
M22M can be fitted with several MOBOTIX
lenses. Proceed as follows to change a lens:

• Unmount the lens cover by turning it
counter-clockwise.

• Loosen the lens' lock ring (if fitted) by turn­ing it counter-clockwise.

• Remove the lens with the lock ring by
turning it counter-clockwise.

• Unscrew the lock ring (if present) from the
lens you just removed and screw it onto the
new lens.

• Screw the new lens with the lock ring (if present) back into the camera.

• If necessary, restore the power supply of the camera.

• Adjust the image sharpness according to the camera's live image on the
computer monitor.

• Tighten the lock ring by turning it in clockwise direction.

This procedure is the same for the M22M-Sec-CSVario and CS/C mount lenses,
albeit without the lock ring (not installed).

2.10 Wiring, Fire Prevention, Lightning and Surge Protection

When installing the wiring inside or outside of buildings, make sure you always
adhere to the relevant regulations on wiring, fire prevention and protection against
lightning.

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.

Find more information at an institution such as the International Electrotechnical
Commission (IEC, www.iec.ch) or at a manufacturer of protection devices against
lightning and electrical surges, such as Dehn (www.dehn.de).

2.10.1 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. Double­shielded means that the cable as a whole is shielded
and that each twisted wire pair has its own shield.

• Outdoors: Installing the camera outdoors requires spe­cial precautions and measures regarding the cables as
well as lightning and surge protection (see section 2.10.3,

Lightning and Surge Protection

).

41/76

M22M Camera Manual Part 1

Caution: Protection class
IP65 will only be reached
with mounted lens cover

Check image sharpness!

Use double-shielded CAT
5/7 cables for wiring

• 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...

). Maximum cable lengths should not exceed 30m

(33yd) for patch cables and 100m (110yd.) for installed cables.

• 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.

2.10.2 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.

2.10.3 Lightning and Surge Protection

To prevent damage from lightning 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.

Power supply for smaller
systems

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 NPR­4 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).

M22M Pole Mount (MX-MH-SecureFlex-ESWS)

If you are intending to mount the camera to the cor­ner of a building or a pole, you should consider us­ing the Corner and Pole Mount together with the
Outdoor Wall Mount. This Corner and Pole Mount is
made of 3mm powder-coated stainless steel
(white) and has been designed specifically for out­door use. The supplied stainless steel straps allow
attaching the mount to poles with diameters be­tween 60 and 180mm (2.4 to 7.1in); see section

2.7.5 ff,

SecureFlex Pole Mount

.

MOBOTIX Cam-IO (MX-CAM-IO)

This installation module for MOBOTIX cameras fea­tures numerous connectors for external devices. It
thus expands the scope of camera applications
when adding external sensors using its two signal
inputs. On the other hand, it also allows controlling
other devices (two signal outputs, Line In/Out for
audio signals) and serves as power supply of the
camera.

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 Windows,
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 3.3.2 and 3.3.3).

• 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 3.3.4).

• Power over Ethernet: Power supply using network components that are con­forming to the PoE standard IEEE 802.3af (see section 3.3.5)

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 Ether-

net Connection

).

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.

Always use Quick Instal­lation for initial configu­ration

After first booting the new MOBOTIX camera or after resetting to fac­tory defaults, accessing the Administration menu in the browser
(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.

Note

Live image: http://preparkcam.mobotixserver.de

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 ac-

cess 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 password).
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 pull­down 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 Set-
tings 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 configuration from flash (see also section 5.9,

Managing Set-

tings

, in the

Software Manual

).

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 synchronize 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

.

• MOBOTIX cameras can do "More"
In order to improve the readability of the camera dialogs, some of them hide

less-often used options when showing the dialog. These dialogs have a
More button in the bottom right corner; click on it to display the advanced
options. If all options are displayed, the Less button appears. Clicking this

• 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 Manual

, 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.

3.3.6 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

5.4.3,

LED Signals and LED Configuration

Note

During the startup sequence or a software reboot, the LEDs will always

Setup.

Note

If you are using Power over Ethernet components (IEEE 802.3af) for
supplying power to the MOBOTIX M22M, these components have to
provide PoE class 0 (12.95Watts max. power consumption of attached
device). Although the M22M only uses 3Watts and does not require
heating even at very low temperatures, this will ensure that devices
attached to the USB port of the camera will be properly supplied.

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 3.4.7,

The First Image in MxCon-

trolCenter

)

• 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. Re-

place 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).

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 back of the camera will let the camera

announce the current IP address of the camera using its voice
output feature.

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).

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 in-

terface controls, such as softbuttons, buttons for the different camera screens, pull­down menus (

Notes

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
latest 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.

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.

58/76

M22M Camera Manual Part 1

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.

3.0.3.37!

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.

3.4.6 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.

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.

3.4.7 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 simultane-

ously 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.

the Open Video Sources dialog again by pushing the button.

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 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.

M22M Camera Manual Part 1

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

M22M Camera Manual Part 1

Note

If you have set a different user name and password for administration
than the factory-preset ones (admin, meinsm), you will need to have
these user credentials available and enter them in the appropriate dia­log. To open the dialog, click on the

Enter password

context menu

entry.

Editing the video source list

This list provides a popup menu (right mouse key), al­lowing you to select/deselect all video sources at
once. Similarly, you can highlight some or all of the li­sted video sources and remove them from the list if
they are not to be displayed or managed in MxCon­trolCenter.

If you interrupt the discovery process (section

Config-

uring MOBOTIX Cameras for a Different Subnet

) or re­quire a password that is different from the factory preset one, you can always re­launch the configuration process from the popup menu at a later time and enter the
appropriate user name and password.

Using the selected video sources

Clicking on OK instructs MxControlCenter to use the highlighted cameras. Activate
the Show selected video sources in new standard layout checkbox and MxCon­trolCenter automatically generates a layout with the live images of all highlighted
cameras.

M22M Camera Manual Part 1

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.

Announce IP address:
Press "R" key

In case of an error, the
camera uses its last IP
address

Notes

Simply press the "R" key once if you would like to prompt a running
camera to announce its network settings.

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.

Press "R" key

"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).
