5.1 Setting Up Computers as T25 Remote Stations
Apart from a Grandstream GXV3140 video phone, any computer (available in the network)
can be used as a T25 remote station if MxEasy is installed on it. You can use this handy
video software to manage and operate up to 16 MOBOTIX cameras and/or Door Stations
easily and conveniently.
The MOBOTIX program can run in the background on a computer or touchpad with a standard
operating system (Windows or OS X) and pops up automatically when someone rings the
doorbell. Using the computer’s microphone and speakers as a two-way communication
intercom (full duplex), you can speak to visitors and you can open the door or switch on
the light by clicking on the corresponding buttons in the software. MxEasy also makes it
easy to listen to voice mailbox messages or search through all of your camera recordings.
5.1.1 System Requirements
To get the best out of the T25 with MxEasy as a computer remote station you need the
following equipment:
•
Computer with a current operating system (Windows XP SP3 or higher, Mac OSX 10.6
or higher). The processor must have a speed of at least 2 GHz and 1 GB RAM must
be available. Macintosh computers with PowerPC architecture are not supported.
• Monitor with a minimum resolution of 1280 x 1024 pixels to be able to properly use
the full-screen display of one or more cameras.
• The computer with MxEasy must have (like a Grandstream video phone) a network
connection to the Door Station (e.g., via switch/WLAN). For the connection options
available to you in this respect, see
Section 2.2, «Remote Stations and Network
Connection»
, in the T25 System Manual Part 1 . The MxEasy manual can be down-
loaded free of charge from www.mobotix.com in the Support> Manuals section.
• The T25 system was set up for operation using Auto Configuration (as described in
the second section of this manual).
