    M16 Camera Manual: Operating The Camera 3.3.3 Inserting a Filter MOBOTIX offers a polarization filter in its range of accessory products for all sensor modules (except the B016). The polarization filter prevents unwanted reflections from smooth surfaces. The filter can be used to provide better facial recognition of the people behind the windshield of a car, for example. Only one filter can be used per sensor module, which then replaces the standard protective glass lens. Procedure 1. Position the blue lens wrench on the notches of the protective glass lens. Rotate the wrench to the left until you feel a stop (max. 300°) and then a little bit further until the protective glass lens slides out of the sensor module.

Conservative Memory Usage Thanks to MOBOTIX MxFFS File System MxFFS formatting of the MicroSD card means that the MOBOTIX camera software will use the flash device as evenly as possible, thus allowing for the maximum possible number of write/delete cycles. This also means that all storage cells of the flash device will be written and deleted with the same frequency, if possible. MOBOTIX technology increases the life of the flash device considerably and also improves the security and the reliability of the storage process. Storage Requirements and Life Expectancy of MicroSD Cards The life expectancy of a MicroSD card increases proportionally to the storage capacity, since the camera software will execute fewer write/delete cycles on each storage cell.
