LEGAL NOTES

Attention – Special Export Laws Apply!

Cameras with thermal image sensors (“thermal cameras”) are subject to the special export
regulations of the U.S.A. and the ITAR (International Traic in Arms Regulation):

Legal aspects of video and sound recording

You must comply with all data protection regulations for video and sound monitoring when
using MOBOTIX products. Depending on national laws and the installation location of the
M16, the recording of video and sound data may be subject to special documentation or
it may be prohibited. All users of MOBOTIX products are therefore required to familiarize
themselves with all applicable regulations and to comply with these laws. MOBOTIX AG is
not liable for any illegal use of its products.

• Under the United States sanctions and export regulations currently in force, cameras
with thermal screen sensors or parts thereof may not be delivered, in particular, to
countries or regions to which the U.S.A. have imposed an embargo, unless a special
exemption permit is available. At present, this applies to the following countries or
regions: Syria, Iran, Cuba, North Korea, Sudan and Krim. The same export ban applies to
all persons and institutions listed in “The Denied Persons List” (see www.bis.doc.gov >

Policy Guidance > Lists of Parties of Concern; https://www.treasury.gov/

resource-center/sanctions/sdn-list/pages/default.aspx

• Under no circumstances must the camera itself or its thermal image sensors be used
in the design, the development or in the production of nuclear, biological or chemical
weapons or in the weapons themselves.

M16 Camera Manual

FOREWORD

Dear MOBOTIX customer,

represents an important milestone in the successful history of MOBOTIX products.

As decentralized complete video systems, MOBOTIX cameras have much more to oer

than conventional network cameras. The M16 features integrated environment sensors

(PIR, outside temperature, motion sensor), speaker and microphone for two-way video

communication based on the SIP standard, long-term memory, free video management
soware and a preassembled VarioFlex wall/ceiling mount, in addition to two HiRes image
sensors. The weatherproof MxBus and MiniUSB interfaces allow for direct connection of
MOBOTIX interface boxes and standard devices such as UMTS modules, additional memory, etc.

With the M16, one or two separate and interchangeable MOBOTIX sensor modules (lens
plus sensor board and microphone) are installed in the camera base module M16 Body. The
sensor modules can be purchased from tele lens to Hemispheric, each available as day or
night models. In addition, the LPF (“Long Pass Filter”) variants of the night models have
been designed for special requirements (such as number plate recognition). If the M16 is
congured with a Day and a Night sensor module, the camera will automatically switch to
the appropriate image sensor depending on the illumination.

The introduction of the newest sensor technology with increased light sensitivity in combi
nation with the new HD Premium lenses (aperture f/1.8) not only generates more brilliant

es with up to 3072x2048, it also delivers color images of higher quality under lowlight

imag
conditions.

Congratulations on your decision to purchase the M16, the powerful successor

to the original MOBOTIX M1/M10/M12/M15, proven over one hundred thousand

times. This weatherproof (IP66), versatile, all-round solution “Made in Germany”
