Working In Different Network Environments

Using MxManagementCenter, you can access cameras from different locations. For example, you can monitor the cameras at home over the local area network (LAN) or while on the move via a pre-configured DynDNS access over the Internet.

Selecting an Environment

If you want to access the cameras from a different location (different network), select the corresponding previously created environment. Switching to a different environment causes the network address data for connecting to the cameras to be switched automatically.

1. To do so, right-click on in the Header bar. The Projects and Network Environments dialog opens.
2. Click on Environment.
3. Select the desired environment.

Temporarily Adjusting the Bandwidth

By assigning a bandwidth to an environment, you can specify how the images are pulled from the cameras given different connection speeds. This basically controls how the images can be displayed for live viewing and event research. Selecting a bandwidth thus also controls the image quality. Note that you can temporarily overwrite the bandwidth setting without actually changing the camera setting.

1. To do so, click on in the Header bar. The Bandwidth Mode dialog opens.
2. Select the desired setting:
• HiRes: The images are transferred using the settings made in the camera.
• LoRes: Images are delivered at the frame rate, resolution and image quality as defined in the Program Settings for LoRes.
• Unchanged: Use this to return to the original setting of the camera.
