    This makes it hard to comprehend the overall setting. The new panorama function of the M25M with the L12 lens delivers a widescreen, corrected image of a high-resolution 180° allround view. High image quality is achieved through the use of a five-megapixel color sensor and the new hemispheric lens of the M25M.

    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 M25M offers the best MOBOTIX image quality that is currently available thanks to the light sensitivity provided by the five-megapixel color sensor that is four times higher than that of the previously used three-megapixel color sensor and the new MxLEO exposure control.
  • Page 27 M25M with Special Lens Hemispheric L12 Black&White Image Sensor with 5 Megapixels You can now order the M25M with a five-megapixel night sensor that can deliver black and white images with up to QXGA resolution. This results in larger images than those delivered by the previous 1.3-megapixel sensor with a perceptibly higher degree of details.

  • Page 28: Decentralized Video System

    The M25M 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 by 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.

    Like all MOBOTIX cameras, the M25M is extremely flexible in terms of how and where it can be installed. An M25M can be used for both indoor and outdoor applications. In fixed or mobile applications – constantly changing locations or in/on vehicles of any kind.
  • Page 55 The VarioFlex mount consists of a central joint, which is directly screwed into place with the weatherproof M25M housing, and a wall and ceiling mount, which is fastened to the central joint with just one screw. In addition to being easy to install, the VarioFlex mount enjoys the advantage of a completely concealed cabling and high impermeability to water and dust (IP66).
  • Page 56 M25M Camera Manual: Installation Mounting to a Wall The M25M can be mounted to the wall of a building or structures, even mobile surfaces, for both indoor and outdoor use. The camera is mounted using the pre-installed VarioFlex mount (supplied as standard), which is easily secured using the four enclosed screws and screw anchors (depending on the surface, it can also be mounted without screw anchors directly over the flush-mounted socket).

  • Page 57: Mounting With Hemispheric Lens L12

    The entire hemisphere of the room in front of the camera is then effectively monitored. High-Resolution Panorama Images The M25M with L12 lens is primarily suited to providing an excellent overview in the form of a high-resolution panorama image, and less suitable for more exact details. For active operation, the camera should be mounted at an (out of direct reach) height ranging from 2.50 m to 3.50 m.

    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.
