  • Page 14 D15-180 and D15-DNight) D15 with Outdoor Wall Mount (Accessory) When combined with the Outdoor Wall Mount, which is available as an accessory, the D15 is compliant with the higher IP65 protection class (fully dustproof and resistant to water jets) and can then be easily used in any unprotected outdoor areas. MOBOTIX offers an additional Corner and Pole Mount that allows the Outdoor Wall Mount to be attached to the corners of buildings and to masts.

  • Page 15: Advantages And New Features

    The more light-sensitive an image sensor is, the better the image quality, especially when the ambient light level is low, such as at dusk and in heavy rainfall. The D15 offers the best MOBOTIX image quality that is currently available thanks to the light sensitivity pro- vided by the 6-megapixel color sensor that is fifty times higher than that of the previous 3.1-megapixel color sensor.

  • Page 16: Decentralized Video System

    The D15 is equipped with a shock detector as standard (for all IT and Secure models). For example, if the camera receives a blow to the housing, it can simultaneously take a video of the offender, trigger a sound alarm and notify the security company via a SIP call.

    Due to the special product and system properties, the decision to install MOBOTIX video systems is also a decision for Green IP Video: low power consump- tion and environmental friendly because of long life expectancy and minimal amount of materials involved.

    The D15 can take two optical lens units as required. The lens units are available with 6MP or 5MP image sensors, resulting in differences in the lenses’ angles of view: 105°...

    When installing the wiring inside or outside of buildings, make sure you always adhere to the relevant regulations on wiring, fire prevention, and protection against lightning. A range of measures are used to protect MOBOTIX cameras against the effects of small electrical surges. These measures, however, cannot prevent the camera from being dam- aged when stronger electrical surges occur.
