    High-Resolution Panorama Images The M24M with L11 lens is primarily suited to providing an excellent overview in the form of a high-resolution panorama image, and less suitable for more exact details. For active operation, the camera should be mounted at an (out of direct reach) height ranging from 2.50 m to 3.50 m.

    When installing the wiring inside or outside of buildings, make sure you always adhere to the relevant regulations on wiring, ire prevention, and protection against lightning. MOBOTIX cameras are protected against the efects of small electrical surges by a range of measures. These measures, however, cannot prevent the camera from being damaged when stronger electrical surges occur.
