  • Page 10: Product Overview

    360° allround view or a 180° wides- creen panorama when mounted on a wall. The first of its kind in the world, this camera is evidence of the MOBOTIX commitment to innovation as the global leader in megapixel video security cameras.
  • Page 11 Q25 Hemispheric Panorama Focus – One Camera, Three Views (Wall-Mounted) Maximum room overview while simultaneously viewing detail in a single image: the Q25 is capable of providing two more views at the same time with the 180° panorama, allow- ing you to focus on two scenes in parallel ("Panorama Focus" display mode).
  • Page 12 The overview image provided by a single Q25, which may be tailored in a number of ways according to specific user require- ments, not only reduces the number of required cameras, but also minimizes the system costs by reducing the wiring complexity, emergency power requirements and number of recording devices required.
  • Page 13 Q25 Hemispheric Surround View (Quad View), Based on the Correct Full Image The Q25 “Surround” display mode replaces (when ceiling mounted) four cameras, and shows four directions simultaneously on the monitor in a quad view. The preset North position can be moved to any direction in the image; the camera generates the other three directions (East, South, West) automatically and stores them as separate views.
  • Page 14 Low Light Conditions – No Problem The maximum resolution of the color and black&white image sensors is 6 megapixels. The higher light sensitivity of the new color image sensors now allow using MOBOTIX color cameras around the clock even when the illumination is low.
  • Page 15 Q25 Hemispheric Virtual PTZ (vPTZ) – No Motor Required The Q25 can zoom in on detail as well. These vPTZ functions are a standard feature in the integrated Q25 camera software. The image from the hemispheric camera can be enlarged using e.g. the mouse wheel, a joystick or a software- controlled PTZ panel, and you can "move"...
  • Page 16 "visible" portion of the image; the rest is lost and cannot be examined later on. For this reason, MOBOTIX has added the new full image recording feature to the Q25. This will not store the currently viewed image that reflects the pan/tilt position and the zoom setting chosen by the user, but the full sensor image - without vPTZ settings or image correction.
  • Page 17 While other camera systems must transport the full 6MP image over the network for further processing, a MOBOTIX camera will only transmit the desired image sections. This means that a Q25 panorama image will only require a small part of the usual data and Corrected image after bandwidth.
  • Page 18 Some application scenarios benefit from a surveillance camera that is present, but without attracting attention. The low-key, elegant appearance of the camera, especially when installed with the In-Ceiling set, makes the Q25 an optimum solution where discreet design and an inconspicuous look are important. Hotels and restaurants present an ideal example, but installations in public buildings, waiting rooms and showrooms are also highly suitable.

  • Page 21: Hemispheric Technology

    Q25 Hemispheric 1.1.2 Hemispheric Technology The Q25 Hemispheric offers all the image views known from MOBOTIX‘ other hemispheric cameras, including Panorama , Panorama Focus , Double Panorama , Full Image , Normal and Surround . The primary components of a hemispheric camera include a fisheye lens, a high-resolution image sensor, and image correction software that is integrated into the camera.
  • Page 22 Traditional optical PTZ cameras can only record what is being viewed live. The virtual PTZ feature from MOBOTIX allows users to pan to other areas at a later stage in the recording because the entire room can be recorded as a hemispheric image.

  • Page 24: 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 Q25 offers the best MOBOTIX image quality that is currently available thanks to the light sensitivity provided by the six-megapixel color sensor that is many times over than that of the previously used color sensors and the new MxLEO exposure control.
  • Page 25 Q25 Hemispheric Black&White Image Sensor with Six Megapixels You can now order the Q25 with a six-megapixel night sensor that can deliver black and white images with up to 6MP resolution. This results in larger images than those delivered by a 1.3-megapixel sensor with a perceptibly higher degree of details.

  • Page 26: Decentralized Video System

    The Q25 is equipped with a shock detector as standard. 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 by a SIP call.

See Section 2.2, «Mounting the Camera Without Accessories» and the following sections for information on the different installation options;...

  • Page 59: Wall-Mounted

    2.1.1 Wall-Mounted To make optimal use of the high-resolution 180° panorama functionality of the Q25, the camera must be mounted on an internal or external wall. The entire hemisphere of the room directly in front of the camera is then effectively monitored, from the wall on the left of the camera to the wall on the right.
  • Page 60 Hint: The Q25 should always be installed on a wall such that the arrow on the camera housing marked OBEN / TOP points towards the ceiling of the room. © MOBOTIX AG • Security-Vision-Systems • Made in Germany...
  • Page 61 However, due to elevation of the rear casing of the camera caused by connections and holders, a wall outlet should be installed prior to camera installation (see drilling template Q25). This provides perfect protection to the cabling, ensuring that it cannot be seen or damaged from outside.

  • Page 62: Ceiling-Mounted

    In-Ceiling Set Thanks to its hemispherical lens, a single Q25 can monitor an entire room right into each of the four corners (360° Panorama View). The camera's should ideally be positioned on the ceiling in the center of the room. Due to its inherent physical and optical properties, the precision of the lens decreases as the distance from the lens grows.
  • Page 63 Bearing this in mind, it is advisable to install the Q25 in rectangular room ceilings so that the arrow marked OBEN / TOP points towards one of the longer walls of the room as shown in the figure.

This kind of protected power supply can be used either with MOBOTIX PoE products (MX-NPA-PoE + Universal Power Supply) or with PoE-compliant switches according to IEEE 802.3af.

  • Page 70: Wiring, Fire Prevention, Lightning And Surge Protection

    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. MOBOTIX cameras are protected against the effects of small electrical surges by a range of measures. These measures, however, cannot prevent the camera from being damaged when stronger electrical surges occur.
  • Page 71 Preparing the Installation Lightning and Surge Protection In order to avoid damage to MOBOTIX cameras from overvoltages, you should always install the MX-Overvoltage-Protection-Box . This competitively priced and weatherproof network connector provides reliable protection against overvoltages of up to 4 kV; the box is easily installed in the Outdoor Wall Mount, for example (see Section 1.4.13, «MX-Overvoltage-...

  • Page 78: Mounting The Camera With The On-Wall Set

    It is not possible to install the on-wall set directly above an on-wall or flush-mounted outlet. Installation using the 10° On-Wall Set is often the right choice if a Q25 is to be used as a panorama camera installed at a greater than usual height (3 m or higher). Tilting the lens in the direction of the center of activity in the room maximizes image quality.
