Projects and Network Environments

A project comprises all access data of the attached cameras in MxManagementCenter, the settings of these cameras and camera groups with assigned layouts, among other information. You can store such a project in order to install the same environment on other computers. 
You can use MxManagementCenterto access cameras from different locations. This usually means that each location requires using different network access data. To avoid having to change the network access data every time, you can set up different network environments with the corresponding network access data.

If you save a project, you can include the encrypted access data for each camera (user name and password). This access data is automatically used when the project is opened in MxManagementCenter. If you do not include the access data, the user name and password will have to be entered manually for each camera. The same applies to a project sent by email; you can opt to include the encrypted camera access data (user name and password).
