Technology Leader Of network Cameras In a short time, MOBOTIX has gained the second place in Europe and the fourth place worldwide in terms of market share. MOBOTIX has been producing megapixel cameras exclusively for years and, in this area, ranks as the global market leader in high-resolution video systems with a market share of over 60%.

Long-Term Storage On File Servers Included MOBOTIX cameras have an integrated long-term storage system for Linux, Windows and Mac OS X computers. Every camera manages its own ring buffer storage on the shared folder. Thanks to this decentralized approach, 30 live cameras can store images of up to 30 frames per second each, including audio, on a single computer.
Page 26
The cameras can use network/wireless, GSM/GPRS/UMTS (3G) or Internet connections for this purpose. Integrated Power-over-Ethernet Power is supplied as Power over Ethernet via the network cabling using the MOBOTIX NPA- No heating required - PoE is no problem, PoE-Set or from a PoE compatible switch (both according to the IEEE 802.3af PoE Standard).

Instead of using a web browser, you can also download the free MxControlCenter from the MOBOTIX website, which allows you to quickly display up to 30 MOBOTIX cameras on one single monitor. In addition, MxControlCenter can process incoming alarms with sound from the cameras and allows you to conveniently search and evaluate alarm video clips (including audio).

Free Software Updates (www.mobotix.com) Free software updates at MOBOTIX provides software updates free of charge at regular intervals that improve and www.mobotix.com expand the camera’s functionalities.

D24-Camera Manual: InTRODUCTIOn Lens Options, Hardware And Software Features MOBOTIX currently offers five standard lenses with M14 thread from the L22 Super Wide Angle lens with a 22 mm focal length through to the L135 Telephoto lens with a 135 mm focal length (equivalent to 35 mm camera).
Page 31
Another benefit is that you can easily set a 35 mm camera (analog or digital) to the same focal length as the MOBOTIX lens (Lxx) to obtain the same field of vision. This approach greatly facilitates lens selection.
D24 Camera-Manual: InSTALLATIOn InSTALLATIOn Although the D24M is primarily designed for installation on walls and ceilings, it can also be mounted to a pole or the corner of a building, for example, using the appropriate MOBOTIX accessories. The different installation options are described in sections 2.4 and below, while the drilling templates can be found at the end of the manual.
2.1.1 Ceiling And Wall Mounting Like all MOBOTIX cameras, the D24M is extremely flexible in terms of how and where it can be installed (see Section 2.1.2). The Basic model meets the IP54 standard while the IT and Secure models are weatherproof in accordance with IP65. However, installations on a wall or ceiling are the most common mounting positions.
Page 36
D24 Camera-Manual: InSTALLATIOn Wall Installation Using The Outdoor Wall Mount Outdoors, the D24M is usually mounted on a building wall. In principle, the camera can be installed without additional wall mounts, although the positional range of the lens may be limited as a result. We therefore recommend using the practical Wall Mount from the range of available accessories (Section 2.4).
(such as prisons, trouble areas, train stations, etc.). Wall Mount (MX-OPT-WH) Wall Mount made from The Wall Mount is the ideal solution for mounting the D24M to walls for sturdy PBT-30GF (IP65) indoor and outdoor applications. The camera is completely dust-proof and resistant to water jets (IP65).
2.1.3 network Connection And Power Supply, UPS Power over Ethernet (PoE Conforming To IEEE 802.3af) All D24M models are supplied with power using the PoE standard. The Network Power The D24M sup- Adapter (MX-NPA-PoE-Set) may be used for smaller installations. For larger installations,...
Once the camera position, the position of the cable outlets and the method of power sup- ply have been decided upon, the cabling can be installed. Before mounting the MOBOTIX D24M, you should make sure that the network connections have been properly tested to ensure that the camera functions correctly when it is installed.
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.

In general, direct installation of the camera without any accessories is always .
It is essential that you use the supplied drilling template to ensure the precise alignment of holes for either the mounting ring of the D24M IT/Secure or the camera base of the D24M Basic (fold-out at the end of this manual).

3. Mount the On-Wall Set: Mount the On-Wall Set (with- out the camera) at the intended position using the Torx screws (included with D24M camera, items 1.10 – 1.12). 4. Cable feeding: Attach the counter nut to the network cable, pass it through the seal from the outside and tighten the nut.
Page 65
Excess cable can be easily stored within the On-Wall Mount. 8. Attach the camera to the mount: Press the D24M so that it is seated firmly within the On-Wall Mount. The tapered guides at the back of the D24M housing fit exactly into the openings of the On-Wall Mount.
For these reasons, the D24M installed with the In-Ceiling Set is the preferred option for For these reasons, the D24M installed with the In-Ceiling Set is the preferred option for most indoor spaces frequented by customers or the general public (e.g.
To install the Vandalism Set, replace the standard plastic outer shell supplied with the D24M IT/Secure with the stainless steel outer shell of the Vandalism Set (including the D24M IT/Secure with the stainless steel outer shell of the Vandalism Set (including the safety screws and four mounted spacers).
Maximum width x height of the socket: 88 mm x 80 mm. • Only use the factory installed patch cable of the D24M (50 cm cable length) or a MOBOTIX cable that is available as an accessory in various lengths.
This ring is not required when mounting the camera to the Wall Mount. If the D24M was not in its original packaging, then it may be necessary to remove the outer shell with the four Allen screws beforehand.
It is used (exclusively) in conjunction with the Wall Mount described in Section 2.9 in situa- tions where you want to mount a D24M IT/Secure to a pole or wall corner. The Wall Mount required for complete installation must be ordered separately.
