Before adding a Mobotix camera to your client account, you must complete
pre-installation steps such as validating that your camera model and firmware version are
supported by Stratocast™, opening the default ports, and obtaining the MAC
address of your camera.
Before you begin
This procedure assumes that you already have
access to a Stratocast integrator account.
Note: Mobotix integrated Stratocast™ from
firmware version 5.2.4.15, no additional application packages need to be
installed.
What you should know
You must log into the camera's web page to
configure the connection to Stratocast. Doing so
requires the IP address of the camera (the URL to access the camera is the local IP address,
simply paste it into the browser address bar).
Procedure
Ensure that the video unit is Supported by Stratocast™ and
that it is running the recommended firmware version for your device.
Get the camera's MAC address, which is usually printed on a label located on
the bottom of the camera. If you cannot find the MAC address, contact the camera
manufacturer.
Power on the camera, connect it to your network, and wait until it is
online.
Get the URL of the camera's web page and the user credentials to log in as the
camera administrator.
Open the following outbound ports:
Port 443
Stratocast™ camera enrollment service
(es.stratocast.com)
The utility scans the local network and lists the IP address of any cameras it finds.
Using the IP address found in MxManagementCenter, log into the camera's web
page by pasting the IP address for your camera into your browser address
bar.
Note: You can also access the Stratocast module by adding
/Stratocast to the URL in your browser's address
bar. The S in Stratocast must be uppercase:The default Mobotix login is username admin and
password meinsm. However, you might not be prompted to
log in to access the enrollment page.
