Low bandwidth requirements MOBOTIX' patent pending MxPEG streaming format allows fast live video with audio at extremely low network loads (1 to 2 Mbps). Since the MOBOTIX camera itself detects movements in the image (and not the computer), video is only trans- mitted if movements occur, and when the video and audio data are being stored.

Caution It is not possible to use an ISDN NT and the S0 bus to supply power to the MOBOTIX D12. Using the ISDN split cable and MO- BOTIX PoE products (see section 2.17, Camera Accessories), the power can be injected into the ISDN data cable (8-wire cable re- quired).
(e.g. switches, routers, PoE switches, etc.). Since MOBOTIX cameras do not require any heating even in the wintertime, the power consumption of 3 W is quite low. This in turn means that you can centralize the USP-protected power supply by injecting power into the network cables (max.
Once the camera position, the position of the cable outlets, and the method of power supply have been decided upon, the cabling should be installed. Before mounting the MOBOTIX D12, you should make sure that the network and ISDN connections have been properly tested, so that the proper functioning of the camera is guaranteed.

Due to tiny manu- tion and a wide screen facturing tolerances, the images of the two lenses do not always fit perfectly.
(see section 2.14, Dis- mantling the Camera ). Caution The MOBOTIX D12D-Outdoor is only weatherproof if the camera hous- ing has been mounted tightly to the bottom plate and both the camera dome and the outer shell are properly seated.
Start dismantling the camera by removing the outer shell of the D12. For removing the outer shell of the D12, you need the supplied custom tool; for dismounting the dome, a lint-free cotton cloth is required (see section 2.16.1, Cleaning Instructions ).
