Robust And Low-Maintenance MOBOTIX cameras have neither mechanical motors for lenses nor for movement. Without any moving parts, they are therefore so robust that maintenance is reduced to a minimum. The unique temperature range from -30 to +60 °C (-22 to +140 °F) is achieved without heating or a fan at only 3 watts.
Standard system requires an extra PC including software for analysis and storage If, like with MOBOTIX cameras, the camera adjusts the image format and the frame rate to the correct values for the specific application (at a gas station, two frames per second are enough for the recording), it relieves the load both of the network and of the recording device (PC, server).
