  • Page 8: The Mobotix Concept

    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%.
  • Page 9 The PC now serves purely for viewing, not for analysis or recording. As a result, MOBOTIX cameras can record in response to an event, even without the PC being switched on, and digitally store the videos with sound.

  • Page 10: Mobotix Hemispheric Technology

    For instance, one single hemispheric camera replaces the time-consuming and expen- sive installation of several standard cameras. The first of its kind in the world, this camera is evidence of the MOBOTIX commitment to innovation as the global leader in megapixel video security systems.
  • Page 11 Virtual PTZ 2 Highly User-Friendly The full image from a hemispheric lens (Fisheye) is difficult to analyze. MOBOTIX solves this problem by perfectly straightening the uneven lines in the live image using the camera software. Since the image distortion correction of the hemispheric view and the generating of the panoramic view take place in the camera itself, no additional load is placed on the viewer PC, unlike a “standard”...

    Central PC is a bottleneck and a risk for the total system MOBOTIX Stores HiRes Cost Efficiently MOBOTIX solves the PC storage bottleneck problem using a unique and yet amazingly effective method - through the camera itself. High-resolution video with lip synchronized sound is saved either remotely over the network or locally on flash memory devices (com- mercial SD or CF cards, USB memory).

    SSL when they are transferred over the network. Notification Of Failure MOBOTIX cameras will automatically report any impairment or failure. This ensures maxi- mum reliability and readiness for use. Subsequent Searches Events rarely confine themselves to just one spot.
  • Page 15 /146 Sound Increases The Chance Of Detection In the event of an alarm, MOBOTIX cameras can turn on their built-in microphones and record lip-synchronous sound. They are therefore an even greater help in analyzing a situation and easing clarification. In addition, the video system can be used for bidirectional communication via a loudspeaker/microphone.

    High Frame Rates Of Up To 30 fps Like all other MOBOTIX cameras, the M24M models can generate live video streams with high frame rates and up to 3.1 megapixels image resolution (QXGA with 2048 x 1536 pixels). Up to 30 fps are generated at a megapixel resolution of 1280 x 960 pixels. Even at 3.1 megapixels, the camera will still generate up to 20 fps!
  • Page 19 Thanks to their low power consumption of 3 watts and the total absence of mechanical moving parts, M24M cameras feature the highest operating temperature range (-30°C to +60°C, or -22°F to 140°F). Since MOBOTIX cameras neither fog up nor require heating, power can be supplied via the network cabling according to the PoE standard IEEE 802.3af.
  • Page 20 1/2" sensors or larger that are designed for megapixel image sensors can be used. In comparison with MOBOTIX fixed lenses, Vario lenses are less robust and less reliable in the long run. For this reason, Vario lenses are typically used in applications where recording conditions change frequently, for example, intermittent surveillance of construction sites.

    M24M Camera Manual: INTRODUCTION General MOBOTIX Camera Functions Like all MOBOTIX cameras, the M24M line has a variety of software functions: from motion detection and long-term storage right through to alarm notification via video IP telephony. Unlike in camera systems from other manufacturers, it is not necessary to buy and install additional software on the computer.
  • Page 35 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 to a shared folder.
  • Page 36 The cameras can use network/wi-fi, 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).
  • Page 37 No license costs Free updates MxEasy – Intuitive Application For Windows, Apple And Linux The new MOBOTIX MxEasy aims at easy operation of the most important camera functions Suitable for up to 16 MOBOTIX cameras through its intuitive user interface, thus creating a new user experience when viewing and controlling MOBOTIX cameras.
  • Page 38 A Linux version will be available soon. Diverse Installation Options Not only can MOBOTIX cameras be used under almost all weather and temperature conditions, they also offer suitable installation materials from a wide range of accessories for any conceivable application scenario.

Free Software Updates (www.mobotix.com) Free software MOBOTIX provides software updates free of charge at regular intervals that improve updates at and expand the camera’s functionalities. Chapter 6, Software Update , in the Software www.mobotix.com Manual provides more information on the process.

  • Page 40: Lens Options, Hardware And Software Features

    M24M Camera Manual: INTRODUCTION Lens Options, Hardware And Software Features MOBOTIX offers the M24M with lenses in three different classes of focal length. Since MOBOTIX cameras are backlight-proof, none of these lenses requires a mechanical auto iris, thus making the camera extremely robust and maintenance-free. MOBOTIX lenses deliver good image quality even when using maximum digital zoom.
  • Page 41 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.

  • Page 51: Preparing The Camera Connections, Wall Outlets

    Once the camera position, the position of the cable connectors, and the method of power supply have been decided upon, the cabling can be installed. Before mounting the MOBOTIX M24M, you should make sure that the network connections have been properly tested, so that the proper functioning of the camera is guaranteed.

  • Page 52: Wiring, Fire Prevention, Lightning And Surge Protection

    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 53 More information on preventing lightning or surge damage is available from organizations such as the International Electrotechnical Commission (www.iec.ch) or from the man- ufacturers of lightning and surge protectors (for example, Dehn: www.dehn.de). © MOBOTIX AG • Security-Vision-Systems • Made in Germany www.mobotix.com • sales@mobotix.com...
