Preparing the Installation

Before installing the MOBOTIX M15, the following questions should be answered:

2.1.1

Installation Options: Wall, Ceiling, Pole

Like all MOBOTIX cameras, the M15 is extremely flexible in terms of how and where it
can be installed. An M15 can be used for both indoor and outdoor applications: in fixed
or mobile applications – constantly changing locations or in/on vehicles of any kind. The
M15 cameras have been certified weatherproof according to IP66 IP66 and can work
reliably in temperature ranges from –30 to +60 °C/–22 to +140 °F without heating or fan.
A practical weather and sun protective cover is integrated into the extremely resistant
housing, which is made of UV-resistant special-purpose plastic.
Thanks to the camera's unique VarioFlex mounting system (supplied as standard), the M15
camera can be installed quickly and easily on any wall, ceiling or even a round pole of up
to 18 cm in diameter (when combined with the stainless steel pole mount). The VarioFlex
mounting system allows a wide range in both the horizontal and vertical directions (rotating
and tilting) to enable precise adjustment to suit the area to be monitored. The mount also
fits directly over in-wall sockets (without the frame) and MOBOTIX interface boxes to
fully conceal the cable, thus improving the security of the installation.
