Notes and Requirements for Using the MOBOTIX HUB Desk Client Search
Agent Function
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:
Management
Client extensions for configuring the functions:
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.
Configuration in the MOBOTIX IoT camera
- To search for standard
events of IoT cameras, no special configuration settings for the
MOBOTIX HUB in the cameras are necessary.
- In
order for the event data of Apps of the MOBOTIX 7 camera series to be
used, the affected Apps must be configured in the
MOBOTIX HUB Analytic Event area
of the App's configuration dialog (e.g. Vaxtor LPR Settings), by defining the following settings:
- URL: <IP-Adresse
des MOBOTIX HUB Management Server>:<Port-Nummer>
- Camera
Name: <IP address of the camera or camera name as
defined in the HUB>
Configuration in the MOBOTIX 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:
For MOBOTIX 7 App Events
- Activation of the App events as Analytics Events in
the Tools -> Options dialog.
Attention: The same port number must be used as in the
camera configuration in the URL field (see
above)!
- Setting the desired Retention Time (days) for the
Analytics Events in the Alarms and Events tab of the
Tools -> Options dialog
- Add an Analytics event with the appropriate name (e.g. VaxALPR On
Camera Event) in the Area Rules and Events > Analytics
Events in the tree structure of the HUB Management Client.
- Definition of a rule to start a recording
in the Recording Server for the event in question.
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.
For Standard IoT Events
- Setting
the desired Retention time (days) for the Device Events in the Alarms
and Events tab of the Tools -> Options dialog
- For
each individual IoT camera whose standard events are to be processed
in the HUB:
- Selection
of the camera in the tree structure of the Servers
> Recording Servers area
- Add
and enable the relevant events for this camera in the Events tab
- Definition of rules for
starting recording in the Recording Server for the previously defined
events of the IoT cameras
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.
Notes and requirements for using the Desk Client Thermal Dashboard
function
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:
- P3 Thermal Camera models: M15 and S15
- Mx6 Thermal Camera models: M16 and S16
- Mx7 Thermal Camera models: M73 and S74
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.
Configuration in the MOBOTIX Thermal Camera
- Configure the Thermal
Measurement Window or Thermal Spot Meter in the camera.
- Activate general Arming
of the camera.
Configuration in 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.
Notes and Requirements for Using the MOBOTIX SYNC Dashboard Function
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:
- Creating MOBOTIX SYNC Dashboards
- Configuring MOBOTIX SYNC user credentials in the Management Client of
the Hub
- Combine camera layout in the MOBOTIX Desk Client with the desired
dashboards.
Prerequisite:
- MOBOTIX Sync Version 1.0 or newer
- MOBOTIX HUB Plug-Ins 2023-06-30 or newer
- Activation of Basic Authentication in the MOBOTIX SYNC configuration.
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).
Notes and Requirements for Using MOBOTIX CLOUD cameras
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:
- Access to the MOBOTIX CLOUD with a Sub Account user with appropriate
access rights to the cameras.
Important: A MOBOTIX CLOUD Reseller Account cannot be
used because it does not contain any cameras!
Notes
and requirements for using the MOBOTIX NurseAssist Dashboard function
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:
- Free dashboard embedding in the
layout of the Desk Client of the NurseAssist element to graphically
display the status of the C71 NurseAssist camera ("fall status") and
thereby build a status tablaue of the conditions in the patient rooms
- In the standard view, only the status changes are displayed with
coloured tiles to ensure maximum privacy for the patients Curve
diagrams.
- If required, e.g. to assess a recognised fall, it is possible to
switch the corresponding status tile to live bid mode.
- The nursing staff can also switch the status tile to live mode at
the touch of a button during the night shift, for example, to protect
the patient's sleep and carry out their rounds with a virtual view of
the patient's room. The display of the "case status" is also shown in
the live image mode using coloured bars. The mode can be cancelled by
pressing a button.
- Free layout design: Combination of camera image and
NurseAssist elements for a customised dashboard combination for e.g.
live display of the emergency room entrance and the "fall status" status
of the patient rooms.
- Patient information
- For each camera/room, notes on the patient and
their treatment priorities can be stored in note form in the camera
status element. Four categories are provided for this purpose, which
can be easily distinguished by colour. Here, for example, the
patient's name, medication intake, treatment focus and even the
patient's personal preferences can be stored in text form by the
nursing staff. This ensures a smooth handover between the nursing
staff. This information can be shown or hidden per channel / overall.
- NEW: Patient Check-In Date.
- Blur Slider
With a slider element, care staff can make the live image of the room or
rooms unrecognisable to strangers (for example the craftsman is in the
Nurse room and repair something) in the virtual tour if required and
still have an overview of the room. One slider is available per channel
or one slider for the entire camera in the display.
- NurseAssist Log Tab
All Nurse Assist activities, usage and opened alarms are recorded in the
logbook. Search filters make it easier to analyse the log entries later.
The log entries can be exported in CSV format or password-protected
in ZIP format.
- Intercom function
The care staff can communicate with the person in the room as required
via the cameras' audio features. The operation is designed for Push to
Talk/Push to Hear to prevent accidental listening in.
- NEW: Activity Report:
A brand new function is the Activity Report, which
provides a chronological review of the patient's behaviour. The question
of whether a patient had a restful night or hardly got any sleep due to
insomnia or frequent "having to" get out of bed, or conclusions about
the adjustment of the medication dose to the sleep behaviour can be
displayed over a time range using sequence or pie charts.
Various view modes are available for this purpose, which can be
displayed from the last 6 hours to the last 6 months:
- Timeline (timeline diagram)
- Statistics view (pie chart) by duration
can be selected per channel
- Statistics view (pie chart) by frequency
can be selected per channel
- The statistics evaluation can provide data from
6 hours to 6 months on the conditions recognised in the
room or only on the conditions that apply to the current patient in
the room. The patient check-in date is used to
display only the conditions that have occurred since the check-in
date.
- An export (printout) of the statistical view
with the option of adding personal comments.
- A comprehensive export of the data in CSV format (incl.
Password protection) for further analyses such as
personnel planning or proof of expenditure for billing.
- The capture of the live status in the room is
also permanently guaranteed in the statistical display and
visualised for the user with a coloured frame.
In addition to the basic installation of MOBOTIX HUB, MOBOTIX HUB
Plug IN and MOBOTIX C71 NurseAssist, the following configuration steps
are required:
- MOBOTIX C71 NurseAssit
Kamera:
- Configure the "Fall
Detection" types in the Kepler App Settings
- Activate the MOBOTIX HUB Analytic
Event in the camera, enter the IP address of the
MOBOTIX HUB server. Overwrite the default value "Auto" in
the "Camera Name" field with the camera IP.
- Management Client:
- In Rules and Events under
Analytic Events, create the event "Kepler
NurseAssist Event" (exact spelling required)
- Open the Options section
in the Tools menu bar and activate this in the Analytic
Events tab (port 9090 is the default) and define the
required retention time in days for alarms and events in the next tab
"Alarms and Events".
- Management Desk Client:
- Create a new layout (view)
in Setup Mode and drag and drop the
MOBOTIX NurseAssit Dashboard element from the sidebar
into the corresponding tile of the layout and select the camera.

New feature enhancements
Thermal Dashboard Configuration option for Thermal Cameras in the
Management Client
After installing this Plug-Ins version on the Management Client computer, a
new entry MOBOTIX Thermal Graphs appears in the tree
structure of the Management Client below the MOBOTIX CLOUD section. There,
you can make general settings for the Thermal Graphs:
- Temperature unit: Fahrenheit or Celsius
- Scaling range of the temperature graphs
Thermal Graphs Extension of the layout elements in the MOBOTIX HUB Desk
Client
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.
The following main features are available to the user:

<Plug-Ins-Version>
= '2022-06-30'
New feature enhancements
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.
Vaxtor-Helix function
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.
Configuration and use of the Vaxtor Helix function
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.
MOBOTIX Cloud function
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.
Configuration and use of the MOBOTIX Cloud function
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.
