Mobotix camera dynamic images

Has anyone else tried to display dynamic images from the Mobotix cameras? They all load on the panel 8400i, however the refresh of the images takes FOREVER. I am not sure if there are any settings in the camera that need adjusted. I have the panels images set for both 0 and 1 refresh rate, and it didn't seem to make a difference.

    The 8400 isn't exactly a rocket ship when it comes to loading dynamic images ... when you say "forever," just how long is it taking? If it's a second or two, I'd say it's the 8400, not your camera. Make sure you have the "refresh only at panel startup" box unchecked in the dynamic image, and set the refresh rate to 0. That will get the 8400 side of things as good as it's going to get.

    May be a losing battle

    We had a Mobotix camera in a job and experienced the same symptoms but on a CV7 and a CV5. We ended up swapping it out for a decent Axis model. The image quality and refresh were fine via a browser but we were never able to get an acceptable refresh rate out of the Mobotix on the panels.

    I hate necroing old threads like this, but since its the same brand I figured what the heck.

    I had a client call me yesterday to inform me he had the security company install some Mobotix D12 cameras.

    Has onyoneused these recently? Am I to expect the same low refresh rate if I tie them into the MVP-8400?

    THanks

    Mobotix camera dunamic image

    Hi,
    Did any one of you had success with mobotix camera's dynamic images. We are using mobotix cameras as well & only get a static image at refresh rate of 0. At a refresh rate of 1 the images get refreshed after a second & it does not look nice. A decent refresh rate will be good.
    What path have you used for the dynamic image. We tried following but no good.
    1. cgi-bin/image.jpg
    2. cgi-bin/image.jpg?camera=live

    Thanks alot.
