Low Bandwidth Requirements MOBOTIX' patent pending MxPEG streaming format allows fast live video with au- dio at extremely low network load (1 to 2 Mbps). Since the MOBOTIX camera itself detects movements in the image, video is only transmitted if movements occur, and when the video and audio data are stored.

(e.g. external sensors), three signal outputs (e.g. alarm systems), Line In, Line Out, USB devices, power backup. • Can be further expanded using MOBOTIX Cam-IO, which allows direct connection to door openers, lamps, sirens, an external microphone (with pre-amplifier), a loudspeaker, external sensors (e.g. light barrier). Hooks up directly to the mains and supplies power to the camera via the network cab- le to the camera (PoE).
After the position of the wall mount has been determined, the installer of the MOBOTIX camera system can connect the camera system to an installed network outlet, which has been properly tested and configured by the network installer.

30% fiberglass). This material is used heavily in the automotive industry and is sturdy, resistant against high temperatures, environmental influences, chemicals, etc. Combined with the purely software-based design of the MOBOTIX D12D and the free software updates, the whole surveillance system has a long product life and thus provides a high return on investment (ROI).
Outdoor Wall Mount with Corner and Pole Mount Corner and Pole Mount (rear view) 1.3.2 Product Advantages of the MOBOTIX D12D-Outdoor Besides the many product advantages inherent to the MOBOTIX D12, the MOBOTIX D12D-Outdoor offers these additional benefits: • Attractive design blends in well with building facades.
D12 Camera Manual Part 1 1.4 Feature List The MOBOTIX camera includes the following main features (some features are model-dependent): 1280 x 960 pixels • Live images of up to 1280 x 960 pixels resolution via network, ISDN, GSM, GPRS, UMTS, wireless up to 30 fps (at 640 x 480 resolution), also adapted for PDAs.

D12 Camera Manual Part 1 INSTALLING THE CAMERA AND THE OUTDOOR WALL MOUNT Quick Start To install the MOBOTIX D12D and the Outdoor wall mount follow these steps: • Checking the Delivered Parts (sections 2.2.1 and 2.2.3) • Planning the Installation (section 2.3) •...
2.2.2 The MOBOTIX D12D-FixDome consists of three main components (camera casing (item 1), body shell (item 9) and dome (item 8)). Like the M10 models, the MOBO- TIX D12 is also delivered with PIR sensor, microphone and speaker. External Sensors • PIR sensor •...
IEEE 802.3af! Network Power Adapter (MX-NPA-3-RJ) The Network Power Adapter allows injecting the power supply for the MOBOTIX camera into the network cable. It thus allows using a single cable for connecting to the camera and for remotely supplying power (up to Power supply for smaller 100 m/300 ft).

The lenses play a very important role when determining the correct position for the camera. In order to find the proper lenses for your application, you should consult the lens table available on www.mobotix.com in the Products >Lens Options section. The exact positioning of the camera casing itself is largely dependent on the area that the camera's PIR sensor should cover.
Free software updates mounting the camera is not an option. SIP telephony reduces costs ISDN connection of MOBOTIX cameras is not required if the network permits SIP Internet telephony connections for Internet phone connections. Thanks to the SIP capabilities of the MOBOTIX D12D (see chapter 9, Telephony Features , in the Software Manual ), the...

When using more powerful 19" rack-mounted USPs, you can also protect all other network components (e.g. switches, routers, PoE switches, etc.). Since MOBOTIX cameras do not require any heating even in the wintertime, the po- wer consumption of 3 W is quite low. This in turn means that you can centralize the USP-protected power supply by injecting power into the network cables (max.
Once the camera position, the position of the cable outlets, and the method of power supply have been decided upon, the cabling should be installed. Before mounting the MOBOTIX D12D-Outdoor, you should make sure that the network and ISDN connections are properly tested, so that proper functioning of the camera is guaranteed.
L22 Super Wide-Angle 90° has very little distortion, even when using the 4x digital zoom of the D12. Moun- ting a camera with the Super Wide Angle lens in the corner of a room will allow you to see the complete room (see figure right).

D12 Camera Manual Part 1 2.10.2 Disassembling the Camera (Detailed Description) For disassembling the outer shell of the D12, you need the supplied custom tool; for dismounting the dome, a lint-free cotton cloth is required (see section 2.9, Cleaning Instructions ).
When installing the wiring in or out of buildings, make sure you always adhere to the relevant regulations on wiring, fire prevention and protection against lightning. MOBOTIX recommends having MOBOTIX cameras installed only by certified specialists accustomed to installing network devices and having proper respect for the applicable regulations regarding lightning protection and fire prevention as well as the current technology for preventing damages from electrical surges.
This includes surge protectors for 19" racks, add- ing an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) to the MOBOTIX camera, and installing surge arresters or similar for routers, switches, servers, etc.
OPERATING THE CAMERA 3.1 General Procedure The MOBOTIX camera does not require any software installation; all you need is your preferred browser with JavaScript support to operate the camera.

If you receive an answer from another network device although the camera is not the IP address of your ca- connected, you will have to remove that device until you have reset the MOBOTIX mera instead of 10.1.0.99! camera to a free IP address. We recommend using the Quick Installation wizard for this task.
Password: 3.4.3 Simultaneously Using ISDN and Ethernet Connections (Gateway) In most cases, MOBOTIX cameras will be used either on an Ethernet LAN or on ISDN, not both. The gateway (for accessing computers outside of the local network) needs to be set manually for Ethernet; it is usually obtained automatically for ISDN.
After entering the camera's IP address in the browser address bar (e.g. http:// Make sure that you use 10.1.0.99), you will see the Live screen of the MOBOTIX camera with its user the IP address of your interface controls, such as softbuttons, buttons for the different camera screens,...
