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 D25M offers the best MOBOTIX image quality that is currently available thanks to the light sensitivity pro- vided by the five-megapixel color sensor that is four times higher than that of the previous three-megapixel color sensor and the new MxLEO exposure control.
Page 19
Low Power Consumption In Accordance With The PoE Standard (IEEE 802.3af) An D25M uses no more power than its predecessor (typically 4.5 watts), despite the new sensor technology. Adjusting the PoE class via the camera software also enables the use of PoE switches that cannot be operated on all ports with PoE class 3 (up to max.
The D25M 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.
1.2.1 Lens Options, Hardware And Software Features MOBOTIX currently offers five standard lenses with M14 thread from the L25 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). Since MOBOTIX cameras are backlight-proof, they do not require a mechanical auto iris, making them extremely robust and maintenance-free.
Page 25
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.

/140 D25M Camera Manual: Installation INSTALLATION Although the D25M 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. Preparing The Installation Before installing the MOBOTIX D25M, the following questions should be answered: 1.
2.1.1 Ceiling And Wall Mounting Like all MOBOTIX cameras, the D25M 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 50
We therefore recommend using the practical Wall Mount from the range of available accessories (see Section 2.6 ). The cable exit of the D25M is located in the center of the housing's underside. For more detailed information on the installation process, see Section 2.2 and the following sections.
(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 D25M to walls for sturdy PBT-30GF (IP65) indoor and outdoor applications. The camera is completely dust-proof and resistant to water jets (IP65).
The D25M sup- ports the Power over Adapter (MX-NPA-PoE-Set) may be used for smaller installations. For larger installations, Ethernet standard it is worth investing in a PoE-capable supply device D25M available on the market (PoE IEEE 802.3af (PoE) switch/router). Network Power Adapter...
5 watts is very low. This, in turn, means that you can centralize the UPS-protected power supply by injecting power into the Ethernet cables (max. 100 m). 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.
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 55
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 1.4.12, «MX-Overvoltage-...
Mounting The Camera Without Accessories 2.2.1 Mounting Instructions As an allround camera, the D25M is primarily designed for installation on walls or ceilings. In general, direct installation of the camera without any accessories is always possible. However, to ensure a flush finish with the surface, you should first install a flush- mounted wall outlet (space for the connection cable).
It is essential that you use the supplied drilling template to ensure the precise alignment of holes for either the mounting ring of the D25M IT/Secure or the camera base of the D25M Basic (fold-out at the end of this manual).
It is not possible to install the On-Wall Set directly above a surface- or flush-mounted socket. The 10° On-Wall Set is the right choice if you want to mount the D25M on a wall with the lens pointing vertically downward (90° or more). If the 10° On-Wall Set is not used, then the angle of the lens may not exceed 80°...
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 D25M 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 66
Excess cable can be easily stored within the On-Wall Mount. 8. Attach the camera to the mount: Press the D25M so that it is seated firmly within the On-Wall Mount. The tapered guides at the back of the D25M housing fit exactly into the openings of the On-Wall Mount.
For these reasons, the D25M installed with the In-Ceiling Set is the preferred option for most indoor spaces frequented by customers or the general public (e.g. hotels, restaurants, banks, retail stores, public buildings, etc.).
To install the Vandalism Set, replace the standard plastic outer shell supplied with the D25M IT/Secure with the stainless steel outer shell of the Vandalism Set (including the safety screws and four mounted spacers). In addition, replace the original dome of the D25M IT/Secure with the reinforced dome of the Vandalism Set.
Maximum width x height of the socket: 88 mm x 80 mm. • Only use the factory installed patch cable of the D25M (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 D25M was not in its original packaging, then it may be necessary to remove the outer shell with the four Allen screws beforehand.
The 3 mm thick stainless steel Corner and Pole Mount is extremely robust and rust-proof. It is used (exclusively) in conjunction with the Wall Mount in situations where you want to mount a D25M IT/Secure to a pole or wall corner. The Wall Mount required for complete installation must be ordered separately.

D25M Camera Manual: Operating the Camera 3.3.2 Correcting Lens Distortion (L25 Only) If you are using a D25M with the L25 82° wide-angle lens, the image, particularly the edges, may be slightly distorted due to the extreme angle of the lens.
Page 117
We recommend activating lens distortion correction, especially for applications with a low frame rate and non-zoomed images (e.g. when using the D25M as a webcam). However, images can usually be corrected at a later point in time when searching recorded images.
Operation Using The Mouse And Scroll Wheel The vPTZ function of the D25M can be controlled in the browser using the mouse. By clicking any position on the image displayed on the monitor, this position becomes the new image center.
The main advantage of full image storage lies in the special functionality of the D25M, in that it can always maintain availability of a maximum size (full) image for later investigation, despite vPTZ actions carried out on the live image.

“Full Image Recording” option. Notes Post-event search in the full image: If you are using Full Image Recording on D25M cameras, you should use at least MEGA resolution when storing. This will facilitate later searches in MxControlCenter or MxEasy. The advanced distortion correction features require this function to deliver satisfactory image quality.
