7.8 Working with Profiles
7.8.1 Overview
Several configuration dialogs of the MOBOTIX camera are based on profiles. A
profile collects all configuration settings (e.g. for sending an e-mail) under one
descriptive name for further use. Profiles can be created and managed independ-
ent of the intended purpose. If you would like to assign a specific message to an
event or to other functions (e.g. in Setup Menu > Messaging), you will use one of
the defined profiles.
The MOBOTIX camera currently uses the following profiles:
• FTP Profiles: FTP file transfers, section 7.8.2.
• E-Mail Profiles: Sending e-mails, section 7.8.3.
• Phone Profiles: Placing SIP/ISDN voice calls to other phones, section 7.8.4.
• IP Notify Profiles: Sending network messages, section 7.8.5.
• Time Tables: Controls the arming status of the camera, actions, messages,
video and audio recording, activate logo profiles and hide image areas for
certain periods of time and during holidays, etc., section 7.8.6.
• Image Profiles: Displaying text information in the camera image,
section 7.8.7.
• Logo Profiles: Displaying logos and graphics in the camera image,
section 7.8.8.
Some profile dialogs allow setting global options. These options are used as
default settings in all other profiles (e.g. for authentication purposes at the SMTP
server for e-mail profiles). If required, you can enter specific settings in the individ-
ual profiles, thus overriding the global setting. If the corresponding field remains
empty, the camera will use the global setting. This feature avoids having to enter
redundant information several times.
Some profile options use variables to enter dynamic texts. For example, you could
automatically add the timestamp of the last event or the data received from an
external device that is connected to the camera's RS232 interface. For more infor-
mation on variables, see the
Using Variables
topic in the camera help and the ref-
erence manual.
