Congratulations on your purchase of the latest generation of the successful MOBOTIX DualDome cameras. The D15D is a high-resolution, weatherproof network camera "Made in Germany". The D15D can capture two different areas at once in great detail, thanks to its two lenses with sensor assembly and optimized sensor technology.
General Product Characteristics HiRes DualDome Camera With Two Independent Image Sensors And Lenses With its compact and elegant dome-shaped housing, the MOBOTIX DualDome camera system has become an indispensable feature of the now global market of high-resolution network security cameras. Thanks to the flexibility of two adjustable lenses and optional...

Page 12
Model Variants And Lenses The D15D is available as a Secure or IT variant, each of which has two day or night sensors or a day/night sensor combination. The main difference between Secure and IT models is that the two image sensors of the Secure models have a higher maximum resolution (two 3MEGA instead of two VGA).
Page 13
This dual sensor system provides excellent true-color images during the day (also in reduced daylight) and extremely sensitive night images in dark environments. A new feature of the D15D is the maximum resolution of the black and white sensor, which has increased from 1.3 to 3.1 megapixels.
Page 14
When combined with the Outdoor Wall Mount, which is available as an accessory, the D15D is compliant with the higher IP65 protection class (fully dustproof and resistant to water jets) and can then be easily used in any unprotected outdoor areas. MOBOTIX offers an additional Corner and Pole Mount that allows the Outdoor Wall Mount to be attached to the corners of buildings and to masts.
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 D15D 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.
Page 16
Low Power Consumption In Accordance With The PoE Standard (IEEE 802.3af) A D15D 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 D15D 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 via a SIP call.

They are also considerably cheaper to operate since they require • Fewer cameras due to the more accurate detail of panorama images with mega- pixel technology •...
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.
The L25 Super Wide-Angle lens has very little distortion and delivers good image quality, even when the maximum digital zoom is used. If the D15D is mounted in the corner of a room with this lens, the complete room will be visible on the image.

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.

(is neither enlarged nor reduced in size) If you would like to mount the MOBOTIX D15D to the corner of a building or to a pole, you should consider using the MOBOTIX Corner And Pole Mount. This mount can only be used together with the Outdoor Wall Mount.
Overview Of Network Connection 2.2.1 Power-Over-Ethernet (PoE Conforming To IEEE 802.3af) All D15D models are supplied with power using the PoE standard. The PoE Adapter Set The D15D supports (MX-NPA-PoE-Set) may be used for smaller installations. For larger installations, we recom-...
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 plus 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. A range of measures are used to protect MOBOTIX cameras against the effects of small electrical surges. These measures, however, cannot prevent the camera from being dam- aged when stronger electrical surges occur.
First Installation Steps 2.3.1 Mounting Lens Units The standard models in the MOBOTIX D15D series are supplied with a pre-installed dome. Lens units (lens mount, image sensor and lens) are usually delivered separately. Lens units are installed as described below if this is the case.

Mounting The Corner And Pole Mount 2.5.1 Overview If you want to mount the MOBOTIX D15D to the corner of a building or to a pole, you should consider using the MOBOTIX Corner and Pole Mount. This mount is designed as an additional mounting option for the Outdoor Wall Mount.
• Mount the dome again using a soft cotton cloth. Notes The focusing aid provides a visual aid when setting the image sharpness of a MOBOTIX camera lens (see the The Focusing Aid Of The Camera section on the The Live View Of The MOBOTIX Camera page in the camera online help).
MOBOTIX cameras, make sure, if possible, that these components do not have a fan. As the power consumption of MOBOTIX cameras is very low compared to other products, the reliability of the entire system is increased, thus extending the life of the components.
