The current value for <Plug-Ins-Version> is specified specifically for the
MOBOTIX HUB Plug-Ins version described below that is to be installed.
To install and use each
feature, different requirements must be met, which are described below.
The Search Agent function
extension of the HUB Desk Clients, which is available via the HUB Plug-In, is
used to search for event data of MOBOTIX IoT cameras that have been integrated
into the MOBOTIX HUB system via a device-specific MOBOTIX driver (select Mobotix M/D/V/S series).
This version supports the
following search filters for data from apps of Mx7 camera models and from
MOBOTIX events within the Forensic Search of the MOBOTIX HUB Desk Client:
Important:
This function requires version
1.4.6 or higher of the Vaxtor ALPR MMC App!
The dialogue that can be opened via the MOBOTIX HUB Configuration
> Forensic Search Filters entry
below the Transact area
in the tree structure of the Management Client has been extended so that all
additional search filters for the installed MOBOTIX HUB Desk Clients can be
(de)activated there.
Note: The above
dialogue for (de)activating the additional search functions in the MOBOTIX HUB
Desk Clients is only available after the plug-ins have been installed on the
Management Client computer.
To do so, the following
configuration steps must be performed in the IoT cameras and the MOBOTIX HUB
beforehand.
o
URL: <IP-Adresse des MOBOTIX HUB Management
Server>:<Port-Nummer>
o
Camera Name: <IP address of the camera or camera name as defined in the HUB>
To use the IoT camera
events in the MOBOTIX HUB and the HUB Desk Clients, the following settings must
be made in the HUB Management Client, depending on the event type:
Subsequently, the triggering of an Analytics event
configured in this way leads to a recording in the Recording Server and the
result data can be searched in the Desk Client.
Subsequently, the
triggering of the IoT camera events configured in this way leads to a recording
in the Recording Server and the result data can be searched in the Desk Client.
The Thermal
Dashboard function extension of the HUB Desk Clients, available with
the help of the HUB Plug-Ins, enables the visualization of measured temperature
curves of MOBOTIX thermal cameras that have been integrated into
the MOBOTIX HUB system via the device-specific MOBOTIX driver (Mobotix M/D/V/S series selection).
Supported camera models with thermal sensor are:
Important: Cameras with ECO Thermal
modules do not support temperature measurement and are therefore not
supported.
To display the temperature profiles, the following configuration steps must
first be carried out in the thermal cameras and the MOBOTIX HUB.
To use the Thermal Camera
in the MOBOTIX HUB and a HUB Desk Client, the Plug-Ins package must be
installed on the computer of the MOBOTIX HUB Management
Client and on the corresponding computer with the MOBOTIX HUB
Desk Client. The necessary configuration steps are described in the
relevant section of the Plug-Ins_2023-03-21 Release Notes.
In the Desk Client, MOBOTIX
Sync dashboards can now be embedded in the layout, e.g. lists of recognised number plates or graphical evaluations of the
registered car models. This requires that the separate application MOBOTIX SYNC
is available and that corresponding dashboards have been created in the Grafana
module of SYNC.
Necessary configuration steps besides the basic installation of MOBOTIX HUB,
MOBOTIX HUB PlugIns and MOBOTIX Sync with Grafana
extension are:
Prerequisite:
Important: If the MOBOTIX HUB already
contains a SYNC configuration, the admin has to
explicitly enable the MOBOTIX SYNC tab in the Management Client (checkbox
Display tab in Desk Client).
In the Desk Client, cameras
from the MOBOTIX CLOUD can now be embedded in the layout.
In addition to the installation of MOBOTIX HUB and MOBOTIX HUB PlugIns, the necessary configuration steps include access
to cameras in a sub account of the MOBOTIX CLOUD.
Prerequisite:
Important: A MOBOTIX CLOUD Reseller Account cannot be used
because it does not contain any cameras!
In the MOBOTIX HUB
Desk Client, a camera layout with the new MOBOTIX NurseAssist element can be added as required in
setup mode after installing the plug-in package. After inserting the MOBOTIX
NurseAssist element, the "case
status" of the linked "C71 NurseAssist"
is displayed with a coloured icon tile in the layout.
This allows the nursing staff in the "nurses' room" to have an
overview of the "case situation" on their floor WITHOUT disturbing
their privacy with a permanent live display. The tile view of the status tab can
be switched to a live image if required.
The following main features
are available to the user:
In addition to the
basic installation of MOBOTIX HUB, MOBOTIX HUB Plug IN and MOBOTIX C71 NurseAssist, the following configuration steps are
required:
Prerequisite:
In the MOBOTIX HUB Management Client after the installation of the plugin package, camera-specific Softbuttons can be defined, which execute different functions via API commands either on the camera itself or on external devices.
Further information on the plugins can be found in the MOBOTIX Community.
Some examples of many uses for the Softbuttons:
We offer predefined API commands for the following products:
With the Softbuttons, it is also easy to call external Websites.
In the MOBOTIX HUB Desk Client, after installing the plugin package, the configured Softbuttons can be triggered per camera element in the layout. A new symbol will be available in the toolbar at the bottom of the camera element.
Prerequisites:
In the MOBOTIX HUB Management Client, after installing the plug-in package, the Operator - Discovery tool is available. The Discovery plugin is not related to the MOBOTIX HUB Desk Client, it is only relevant for the Management Client!
For administrators, the Discovery plugin is an ideal tool to add new MOBOTIX cameras to the system faster and easier than it was previously possible via "Add New Hardware" in the HUB Management Client.
Further information on the plugins can be found in the MOBOTIX Community
For locating the MOBOTIX cameras on the network, two communication methods are available depending on the camera family:
In the MOBOTIX Operator Discovery plugin, we have combined these two search methods to generally find the MOBOTIX cameras on the network.
Advantage of Bonjour Service: Regardless of the local IP range of the subnet, the cameras are found, even if they are in a different subnet. This allows the administrator to identify cameras available in the physical network and adjust the camera or PC network settings to bring them into the "correct" subnet. After that, the administrator can add them to the HUB using the Discovery Tool.
Limitation of the ONVIF WS Discovery: This search only looks for devices in the same subnet and is not able to find cameras in the same physical network, regardless of the subnet address.
The MOBOTIX Operator Discovery provides the following features at a glance:

appears in the tree structure of the Management Client below the MOBOTIX CLOUD
section. There, you can make general settings for the Thermal Graphs:
After installing the
Plug-Ins package, a camera layout with the new Thermal Graph
element can be added to the MOBOTIX Desk Client in Setup Mode. After inserting
the Thermal Graph element, the data source for the thermal
temperature data is determined by the corresponding thermal camera. The user
can freely choose from which Hotspot or Thermal Measuring window the
temperature curves should be drawn. Through specific threshold values, a color
visualization can inform the user when the temperature threshold value is
exceeded or undercut.
In layouts, temperature
curves of the Hotspots or Thermal Measurement windows of a MOBOTIX thermal
camera can also be combined with the camera stream in a layout. This allows the
user to monitor the current temperature condition of his system
and he can also analyze the temperature curve in the past. This evaluation
helps to identify and avoid risks.

In addition to the Search
Agent function to extend the Desk Client with additional functions for
searching for MOBOTIX IoT camera-specific events and App data, this version of
the HUB Plug-Inss contains two new additional
function enhancements. The functions of the existing Search Agent feature
enhancement are unchanged in this release.
After installation and configuration of the present
HUB Plug-Ins, a new register is available within the MOBOTIX HUB Desk Client in
which the web-based user interface of a connected Helix-6 system can be
operated. Helix-6 is a back-office system from Vaxtor
(a subsidiary of MOBTIX AG), with which, among other things, parking and access
control applications based on the license plates automatically identified by
special cameras, such as an MOBOTIX 7, can be implemented.
After
installing the HUB Plug-Ins on the Management Client computer of the MOBOTIX
HUB system, there is an additional entry MOBOTIX Helix in the
tree structure of the Management Client below the Transact
area. In the dialog displayed in this way, a name, the connection
data to the installed Helix 6 system and optionally desired user
restrictions must be entered. The name
given here is then used to display an additional register of the same name in
the connected Desk Clients of the MOBOTIX HUB system, in which the web-based
user interface of the Helix 6 system is offered. There, among other things, the
cameras to be used can be configuredand the other
functions of the system can be used.
Note on using MOBOTX 7
cameras with Vaxtor LPR apps
To
connect the camera and transmit identified license plates to a Helix 6 system,
the configuration dialogs of the individual Vaxtor
Apps contain a Vaxtor Helix6
section. There, the necessary settings for the Helix 6 server to be used are
made.
After installation and configuration of the HUB
Plug-Ins, a new register is available within the MOBOTIX HUB Desk Client in
which the web-based user interface of an existing MOBOTIX Cloud system can be
operated.
After
installing the HUB Plug-Ins on the Management Client computer of the MOBOTIX
HUB system, there is an additional entry MOBOTIX
Cloud in the tree structure of the Management Client below the Transact
area. In the dialog displayed in this way, a name, the connection
data to the existing MOBOTIX Cloud System and optionally desired user
restrictions must be entered. The name
given here is then used to display an additional register of the same name in
the connected Desk Clients of the MOBOTIX HUB system, in which the web-based
user interface of the MOBOTIX cloud system is offered. There, the cameras to be
used, among other things, can be configured and the other functions of the
system are available.
Note on using the MOBOTIX
Cloud function
The
connection to the MOBOTIX Cloud System using this function extension is always
established automatically with the access data previously defined in the
Management Client. The additional use of a web browser with the associated
security risks is then no longer necessary to access the MOBOTIX Cloud System.
