The softbuttons at the left-hand side of the screen execute certain functions, most of which can be used by users with User level access.

If you have administrative access to the camera, you can assign new functions to existing softbuttons by [Shift]-clicking the desired softbutton.

Admin Menu

Opens the Administration menu of the MOBOTIX camera, allowing you to change the most important system settings. You need a user name and password of an admins user group (Users and Passwords dialog) to access this menu.

Setup Menu

Opens the Setup menu with its dialogs for changing the image and event settings.

Arm & Record

This wizard arms the camera, activates event recording, the camera microphone, the MxPEG video codec, one Video Motion Detection window, the User Click event, the visual alarm and opens the MultiView screen of the camera.

Audio on

This Wizard activates the camera microphone and the audio output on the computer (only when using Internet Explorer on Windows computers).

MxPEG on (MxPEG on)

This softbutton activates the MxPEG video codec, which guarantees fast transmission of video and audio data while using as little bandwidth as possible.

MxPEG off (MxPEG off)

This softbutton deactivates the MxPEG video codec in order to produce JPEG images with the best possible quality. This is the preferred setting for webcam applications.

Open Door

This softbutton triggers the door opener (door station only).

This softbutton button turns the lights on or off (door station only).

UC Event ("User Click")

This softbutton triggers the User Click (UC) event.

This softbutton will prompt the camera to blink with its camera LEDs for five seconds.

Click on one event link to show the corresponding event image in the player or select a date and time to list the events of that point in time.

Multiwatcher

The Multiwatcher displays the live/event images of this and other MOBOTIX cameras by means of a "proxy camera". This means that only one camera needs to be accessible from outside of the network and this camera allows you to see live images and event lists of this and other cameras within the network.

Zoom buttons

Use these buttons to control the digital zoom and the panning functions for moving the visible area within a zoomed image:

1x Zoom

Switches the digital zoom off and returns to the regular camera view. This setting will deactivate the Center Pan.

Zoom +

Increases the zoom level (i.e. enlarges the size of the displayed objects). From zoom level [1.1x] on, clicking in the image will move the visible image area within the full image.

Zoom −

Reduces the zoom level (i.e. reduces the size of the displayed objects).

Center Pan

Moves the visible image area to the center of the full image, if zoom level [1.1x] or higher has been activated.

Display mode buttons

These buttons control specific image features of hemispheric cameras and are thus only available on these models:

Normal Image

Switches to the standard display mode that allows zooming and panning.

Panorama Image

Switches to the Panorama display mode.

Surround Image

Switches to the Surround display mode.

Auto Move on

Activates the N/E/S/W auto mode (Ceiling and Floor mounting types), which automatically moves to the North, East, South and West views.
