General MOBOTIX Camera Functions

Like all other MOBOTIX cameras, the D24M models supports a range of (software) func-
tions, such as video motion detection, long-term recording, alarm messaging and video
IP telephony, to name but a few. Unlike in camera systems from other manufacturers,
buying and installing additional software on the computer is unnecessary. Instead of
using a web browser, you can also download the free MxControlCenter or MxEasy from
the MOBOTIX website, which allow you to quickly display multiple cameras on a single
monitor and enable alarm switching with audio or an easy event search.
vPTZ: Virtual Pan/Tilt/Zoom Features
While MxControlCenter has been providing virtual PTZ features for some time now, these
features are now available directly in the MOBOTIX camera. This means that you can
continuously zoom into or out of the live image using either the mouse wheel or a joystick.
When storing images or video sequences, you can choose to store either the visible image
area of the live image or the full sensor image (full image storage). This also allows you
to examine parts of an image or video that had not been visible in the live image section
on display at the time of the recording.
Automatic Image Correction (Only With The L22 Lens)
Another familiar problem from the field of photography is the distortion that result from
using wide angle lenses. Straight lines near the image borders are bent outwards. The
integrated distortion correction features of the camera (and of MxControlCenter) allow the
curve of various lenses to be corrected using software functions.
Live Video With Up To 30 fps, Including Audio
MOBOTIX cameras deliver smooth live video with lip-synchronous audio, yet they keep
network load to a minimum. Some analog systems may also be able to deliver this, but the
recording quality is so much higher with MOBOTIX since the cameras efficiently store the
high, live image resolution and frame rate without compromising image quality. MOBOTIX
technology thus provides for continuous recording of simultaneous video from 30 cameras
at 30 frames per second each, including audio, all on one standard PC.
Low Bandwidth Requirements
MOBOTIX's patent pending
at extremely low network load (1 to 2 Mbps). Since the MOBOTIX camera itself detects
movements in the image (and not the computer), video sequences are only transmitted
when they are being stored externally.
