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.

SAFETY WARNINGS

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”

The new model variant high-end thermal imaging sensor, which can reliably detect moving objects even in total darkness. The ing temperatures in the image or in measurement windows that exceed or drop below the specied temperature.

Notes

M16 Camera Manual: Installation

2 INSTALLATION

The MOBOTIX M16 has been designed to be mounted on walls and ceilings. It can also be installed on a mounting pole using the appropriate MOBOTIX accessories. The dierent installation options are described in Section 2.3, «Mounting the Camera with Wall Mount» and the following sections, while the drilling templates are available on www.mobotix.com >

Download Center > Documentation > Manuals.

2.1 Preparing the Installation

Before installing the MOBOTIX M16, the following questions should be answered:

1. Where will the camera be installed?

2. What other additional installation options are available?

3. How is the camera connected to the network and how is the power supplied?

4. How are the connections furnished from the building?

5. What cabling considerations are necessary?

The following sections in this chapter should answer all these questions. If anything is unclear or you have more questions, please contact your MOBOTIX partner or MOBOTIX Support directly. Contact information can be found at www.mobotix.com under Support.

2.1.1 Installation Options: Wall, Ceiling, Pole

Like all MOBOTIX cameras, the M16isextremelyexible in terms of how and where it can be installed. An M16 can be used for both indoor and outdoor applications: in xed or mobile applications – constantly changing locations or in/on vehicles of any kind. The M16 cameras have been certied weatherproof according to IP66 IP66 and can work reliably in temperature ranges from –40 to 60 °C/–40 to 140 °F (cold start min. temp. –30 °C/–22 °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 M16 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 tsdirectlyoverin-wallsockets(withouttheframe)andMOBOTIXinterfaceboxes to fully conceal the cable, thus improving the security of the installation.

Central joint

Weather protection

The VarioFlex mount consists of a central joint, which is directly screwed into place with the M16 housing, and a wall and ceiling mount, which is fastened to the central joint with just one screw. In addition to being easy to install, the VarioFlex mount enjoys the advantage of featuring completely concealed cabling and high impermeability to water and dust (IP66). Wall and ceiling mounts are designed such that they can be installed over conventional inwall sockets (without the frame) or cavity sockets and conceal them completely. A MOBOTIX interface box can be integrated in the wall mount.

Tilting the camera when installed on a ceiling

• Horizontal: 360°

• Vertical: -90° to +17°

VarioFlex wall mount with protected cabling and cover for in-wall sockets and MOBOTIX interface boxes

Make sure that you have found the best camera position before installing the camera. It is important that the camera’s eld of view is not obstructed in any way. Once the camera has been installed on a wall or ceiling, you can ne-tune its position. If the monitored area changes or the camera has to be installed in a dierent location, it is easy to exchange the camera’s sensor modules and continue using the camera, without having to upgrade to new video soware.

M16 Camera Manual: Installation

Wall installation

• Horizontal: 180°

• Vertical: -60° to +20°

Wall Installation

The M16 can be installed on the wall of a building or structures, even mobile surfaces, for both indoor and outdoor use. The camera is mounted using the pre-installed VarioFlex mount (supplied as standard), which is easily secured using the four enclosed screws and screw anchors (depending on the surface, it can also be mounted without screw anchors directly over the in-wall socket). The Ethernet connection cable of the camera has already been guided through the mount and simply needs to be connected with the network cable on-site (for example, using the MX-Patch-Box). By adjusting the VarioFlex mount as required, the captured image area can be precisely adjusted to the desired practical application. The

cameracanbeturnedortilted180°horizontallyand80°vertically(from-60°to+20°).

Ceiling Installation

By exchanging the wall mount for the ceiling mount (delivered upon request), the M16 is ready to be installed on ceilings in just a few easy steps thanks to the VarioFlex system. This installation option is of particular benet when monitoring rectangular rooms with a single camera. In such cases, the B041 sensor module with Super Wide-Angle lens allows the room to be monitored almost entirely by an M16 installed on the ceiling in one of the corners. Using the PTZ soware, you can easily zoom in on image details in either the live image or the recording. The camera can be turned or tilted 360° horizontally and 107°

vertically(from-90°to+17°).

Installing on a Pole (With Accessories)

Installation on round poles is frequently used for cameras that are intended for mobile outdoor use (for example, surveillance of construction sites). For this purpose, MOBOTIX recommends using the pole mount, which is available for the M16 as an accessory and is almost indestructible (MX-MH-SecureFlex-ESWS). This pole mount is made from rust-proof stainless steel with a white coating and is used in combination with the pre-installed VarioFlex mount supplied as standard with the wall mount.

Poles with a diameter between 60 and 180 mm can be used. It is particularly advisable to use cavity (metal) poles, in which the network cable is not visible and can be protected from attacks. For more detailed information on the installation process, see Section 2.2, «First Installation Steps». The drilling templates are available on www.mobotix.com >

2.1.2 Installing the Camera with Hemispheric Sensor Modules

The camera must be correctly positioned on the wall or ceiling in order to be able to use the high-resolution hemispheric image display options of the M16 with B016 sensor module(s). The entire hemisphere of the room in front of the camera is then eectively monitored.

High-ResolutionPanoramaImages

The M16 with B016 sensor module(s) 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 installed at an (out of direct reach) height ranging from 2.5 to 1.5 m and with suicient detail at up to 3 m. Objects can be detected even at distances of 5 m and more from the camera. During installation, ensure that the camera is focused on the most important areas of the room as directly as possible in order to optimize image quality and provide the desired level of detail recognition. This applies above all to wall and ceiling installations that must be carried out at greater heights for technical or other reasons (over doors, windows, etc.). The lens capabilities can be only fully utilized by tilting the camera appropriately.

Allround View

A single M16 sensor module can monitor an entire room right into each of the four corners (360° Panorama View) thanks to its hemispheric lens. The camera should ideally be positioned on the ceiling in the center of the room. Rooms with a square oor area of up to approx. 40 m² generally allow the recognition of detail even at the borders of the full image. Rooms with up to 100 m² of oor area can be monitored using one single camera if you only want to monitor specic objects or to know if persons enter a room.

Note

Part of the captured image area is concealed behind the protective cover of the M16 housing, especially in the full image. For this reason, M16 cameras with B016 lens should be adjusted so that the concealed areas are not those that are supposed to be monitored. The concealed area can be completely removed from the image by pan ning/tilting/zooming the image using the virtual PTZ function.

Power-Over-Ethernet(PoEConformingtoIEEE802.3af)

All M16 models are supplied with power using the PoE standard. The PoE Adapter Set (MX-NPAPoE-Set) may be used for smaller installations, or the weatherproof PoE injector MX-NPA-Box (MX-OPT-NPA1-EXT) may be used in outdoor scenarios. For larger installations, we recommend investing in a PoE-capable supply device available on the market. Section 2.7 contains more

information on the possible combinations of connecting the M16 and power supply options.

The maximum length of the network cable for power supply over an Ethernet cable is

100 m/110 yd. The Mx2wire+ media converter set (available as an accessory) can be used

to extend the range of an Ethernet connection up to 500 m in length (maximum transmission speed for a 500 m/550 yd cable: 45 Mbps and 12 W for the PoE device).

Note

The MOBOTIX M16 can be powered by switches or routers that support the PoE (Powerover-Ethernet) standard and conform to IEEE 802.3af.

Advantages of PoE power supply:

• Centralized backup power supply available via network

• Lower, more cost-eective power consumption

• Camera does not require an additional network connection

Using Uninterruptible Power Supplies (UPS)

You should install an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) in order to maintain a continuous power supply even when utility power fails. These devices also provide full protection against electrical surges and voltage uctuations, enhancing the reliability of the system as a whole.

When using a more powerful 19” rack-mounted UPS, you can also protect all other network components (for example, switches, routers, PoE switches, etc.).

Since MOBOTIX cameras do not require any heating, even during winter, the average power consumption of less than 5 watts is very low. This, in turn, means that you can centralize the UPS-protected power supply by injecting power into the Ethernet cables (max. 100 m). This kind of protected power supply can be used either with MOBOTIX PoE products (MX-NPAPoE + Universal Power Supply) or with PoE-compliant switches according to IEEE 802.3af.

2.1.4 ProvidingtheCameraConnections,MX-Overvoltage-Protection-Box

Once the camera position, the position of the cable outlets and the method of power supply have been decided upon, the cabling can be installed. Before installing the MOBOTIX M16, you should make sure that the network connections have been thorougly tested so that the proper functioning of the camera is guaranteed.

UPS units not only protect the camera against power failures, they also protect all other connected network devices against damage from voltage peaks and lows

If the camera is to be installed outdoors, you should also install the MOBOTIX MX-Overvoltage-Protection-Box (optional accessory). This interface box not only provides

overvoltage protection of up to 4 kV for MOBOTIX IP cameras

, it also provides simple

and weatherproof connection of the cameras to a network patch cable (

2.1.5 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, re prevention, and protection against lightning.

MOBOTIX cameras are protected against the eects of small electrical surges by a range of measures. These measures, however, cannot prevent the camera from being damaged when stronger electrical surges occur. Particular care should be taken when installing the camera outside to ensure proper protection against lightning, as this also protects the building and the entire network infrastructure.

MOBOTIX recommends having MOBOTIX cameras installed only by certied specialists accustomed to installing network devices and having proper respect for the applicable regulations regarding lightning protection and re prevention as well as the current technology for preventing damages from electrical surges.

Wiring

When installing the wiring, make sure to follow these guidelines:

•

Data cable: Make sure you only use double-shielded Cat 5 or higher cable (S/STP) for Ethernet connections.

• Outdoors: Installing the camera outdoors requires special precautions and measures regarding the cables as well as lightning and surge protection.

• Wire lengths: The cable segments must not exceed the maximum allowed cable lengths in order to ensure proper data transfer.

Avoiding induction: When running data cables parallel to existing regular power lines or

•

high-voltage wires, make sure you observe the minimum distances to the power cables.

Fire Prevention

When installing the power lines to the camera, make sure you always adhere to the countr yspecic regulations (for example, VDE in Germany, IEEE in the U.S.) in eect on wiring and re prevention at the site of the installation.

Lightning and Surge Protection

In order to avoid damage to MOBOTIX cameras from overvoltages, you should always install the MX-Overvoltage-Protection-Box. This competitively priced and weatherproof network connector provides reliable protection against overvoltages of up to 4 kV; the box is easily installed in the Outdoor Wall Mount, for example (see Section 1.5.7, «MX-OvervoltageProtection-Box»).

First Installation Steps

2.2 First Installation Steps

2.2.1 Initial Installation of the Sensor Modules (Except M16 Complete Cameras)

The MOBOTIX M16 cameras are delivered with a pre-assembled housing as M16 Body camera. The sensor modules (consisting of lens carrier, image sensor and lens) need be ordered

arately. Upon delivery, the sensor module sockets in the front element are tted with

sep transport plugs. When operating the camera, it needs to be tted either with sensor or blind modules. This closes o the front element and protects the camera against foreign objects, insects and water.

Caution

Only replace the sensor modules when the camera is disconnected from the power supply. Make sure the power supply to the camera is disconnected before installing or replacing sensor modules.

When installing the sensor modules, make sure that the sensor module cables and the patch cable are not damaged or bent sharply.

Using One or Two Sensor Modules

With an M16, you have the choice of using the camera with one or two sensor modules. Since the modules are easily exchanged, it is also possible to add a module or to use dierent ones later on.

Caution

Note that you must not operate the M16 with installed transport plugs, since the camera is not protected against the environments:

2.5 Mounting the Camera with Pole Mount (Accessories)

If you are intending to install the camera on a pole, you should consider using the MOBOTIX M16 pole mount. This mount is made of 3-mm powder-coated stainless steel (white) and has been designed specically for outdoor use. The supplied stainless steel straps allow the mount to be attached to poles with diameters between 60 mm and 180 mm. By design, the pole mount does not allow the use of an in-wall socket. We recommend using an MX-Patch-Box that can be easily inserted into the cavity socket of the wall mount (VarioFlex mount) in order to ensure a weatherproof connection of the network devices. For more information on the MX-Patch-Box, please visit www.mobotix.com and go to the

Accessories > Interface Boxes

Product Selector >

section.

The camera is always installed together with the VarioFlex mount, which is shipped as a wall mount, and can also be installed directly on the pole mount. The best camera position for the selected sensor module must be found before installing the camera (see Section 2.2, «First Installation Steps»). You can ne-tune its position once the camera has been installed on the wall.

Network and Power Connection

2.7 Network and Power Connection

•

Power is supplied to the camera via the camera Ethernet connection (patch or installation cable). We recommend using a MOBOTIX PoE adapter or another similar high-quality PoE product to loop-in the power supply:

– One camera: with the PoE adapter (MX-NPA-PoE or MX-NPA-Box)

– Multiple cameras: with PoE products conforming to IEEE 802.3af (PoE switch)

• The maximum length of the network cable for power supply over an Ethernet cable is 100 m.

•

Make sure that you only use switches or routers that support the 10/100Mbpsnetwork interface of the camera.

• We highly recommend using uninterruptible power supplies (UPS) to provide backup power.

• If you are using IEEE 802.3af or IEEE 802.3at (PoE+) Power-over-Ethernet network components to supply power to MOBOTIX cameras, make sure, if possible, that these components do not have a fan. Since the power consumption of MOBOTIX cameras is very low compared to other products, the reliability of the entire system is increased, thus extending the life of these components.

3 OPERATING THE CAMERA

3.1 Manual and Automatic Operation – Overview

Download the free-of-charge MxManagementCenter soware at www.mobotix.com

MOBOTIX cameras do not require any extra soware. Thus, you can set up and operate the MOBOTIX camera using a JavaScript-enabled browser on all common operating systems (such as Windows, Linux, Macintosh, etc.). As an alternative, you can also use the MOBOTIX application MxManagementCenter. Follow these steps to set up the camera:

1. Connect the camera to the network.

Power is supplied directly via the Ethernet cable (see Section 2.7, «Network and Power Connection»)

Establish a connection to the camera and adjust the network settings, if required.

By factory default, MOBOTIX cameras are booting as DHCP client with an additional xed IP address in the 10.x.x.x range (e.g., 10.16.0.128). Local computer networks usually have IP addresses in the 172 or 192 ranges. Depending on whether a DHCP server

present on the local network (e.g., a DSL router) or if the network has been set up to

is use xed IP addresses, there are several possibilities for establishing a connection to the camera and to change its network parameters:

• Network with DHCP server

– Using a browser:

If you know the IP address that the DHCP server assigned to the camera, simply enter that address in the browser address bar to directly connect to the camera (see Section 3.2.1, «Manually Setting Up the Network Parameters in a Browser»).

– Using MxManagementCenter:

With MxManagementCenter, you can show and integrate the camera without having to know its current IP address (see Section Parameter Conguration in MxMC»).

3.2.3, «First Images and Network

Manual and Automatic Operation – Overview

• Network with xed IP addresses

In order to access the camera, it must have an IP address within the range of the local network. To set the camera’s network parameters, you can use one of these methods:

– Manually using a browser:

First, you need to change the network parameters of your computer (see Section 3.2.1, «Manually Setting Up the Network Parameters in a Browser» and following …).

–

Integration into MxManagementCenter with automatic adjustment of the camera’s IP address:

The camera is displayed in MxManagementCenter despite the fact that the IP address is not part of the local network. The application allows reconguring the network parameters accordingly (see Section 3.2.3, «First Images and Network Parameter Conguration in MxMC»).

3. Congure the camera.

Using the web-based user interface or MxManagementCenter.

M16 Camera Manual: Operating The Camera

3.2 First Images and the Most Important Settings

Once the MOBOTIX camera has been connected to the network, you need to set up the camera’s network interface accordingly. This step involves setting up and checking the network

arameters of the camera. If your network is already using an IP address in the 10.x.x.x

p range with a 255.0.0.0 network mask, you do not need to change the camera’s network parameters. You can access the camera directly (see Section 3.2.2). If your network or computer does not use an IP address in the 10.x.x.x range (for example, in the 192 or 172 ranges), you should follow one of the following methods for changing the camera’s network parameters:

• Manual setup (see Section 3.2.1)

• Automatic setup using MxManagementCenter (see Section 3.2.3)

For the following examples, we will use a camera with the factory address 10.16.0.99. Replace this IP address with the IP address of your camera. You will nd the IP address of your camera on a small sticker on the camera. Make sure that the IP addresses used in the following examples are not already being used by other devices in the network.

Hint:

Briey pressing the key will prompt the camera to announce its current IP address

on the camera speaker.

3.2.1 Manually Setting Up the Network Parameters in a Browser

You need a computer that is using a 10.x.x.x IP address in order to manually set up the network parameters of the MOBOTIX camera. The computer’s network parameters usually have to be changed for this purpose.

3.3.2 AdjustingLensFocus(B119/B237Only)

Once the camera has been installed, the B119 and B237 sensor modules should be checked for proper image sharpness and manually adjusted, if required. To do so, use the blue lens wrench and the black module wrench (both are supplied with the M16 basic module).

The focusing aid provides a visual aid when correcting the image sharpness (see The Live Screen of the MOBOTIX Camera in the camera’s online help).

Procedure

1. Position the blue lens wrench on the notches of the sensor module. Rotate the wrench tothele until you feel a stop (max. 300°) and then a little bit fur ther until the protective glass lens slides out of the sensor module.

Adjust the image sharpness according to the camera’s

3.3.3 Inserting a Filter

MOBOTIX oers a polarization lter in its range of accessory products for all sensor modules (except the B016). The polarization lter prevents unwanted reections from smooth surfaces. The lter can be used to provide better facial recognition of the people behind the windshield of a car, for example. Only one lter can be used per sensor module, which then replaces the standard protective glass lens.

Procedure

1. Position the blue lens wrench on the notches of the protective glass lens. Rotate the wrench tothele until you feel a stop (max. 300°) and then a little bit further until the protective glass lens slides out of the sensor module.

If required, clean the inside of the lter using a clean,

lint-free cotton cloth.

Place the lter on the notches of the blue lens wrench.

4. Position the lter with its clips over the two recep-

tacles on the sensor module (red arrow on the image in the margin) and rmly press onto the sensor module. Rotate the glass to the right using the blue lens wrench until you feel a stop.

5. Adjust the polarizationlter according to the camera’s live image on the computer monitor. Rotate the lter to the le using the blue lens wrench until you reach the desired setting (maximum 180°).

6. To readjust the polarization lter, rotate it back to the right until you feel a stop and repeat step 4.

7. If required, clean the outside of the lter using a clean, lint-free cotton cloth.

Note

Note that using the polarizationlter reduces the amount of light that enters the lens by approximately 50 %.

3.3.4 Replacing the Dome Against the Sealing Ring (B016 Only)

To exchange the dome against the sealing ring, use the blue lens wrench supplied with the S15D basic module.

Caution

In order to avoid burns by the hot lens, the sealing ring must not be installed if the sensor module is within the reach of persons!

Procedure

1. Insert the blue lens wrench into the notches of the dome. Rotate the wrench tothele until you feel a stop (max. 300°) and then a little bit further until the dome slides out of the sensor module. When doing this, make sure that the dome does not get stuck in the sensor module housing.

Turn the wrench over, insert the two notches into the

slots of the lens’ metal ring and unscrew the lens until you can remove it from the sensor module.

3. Insert the lens into the sealing ring as shown.

Fully insert the lens into the sealing by pressing rmly on two sides of the lens, until the metal rim of the lens is on the same level as the sealing.

Virtual PTZ and Full Image Recording

3.4.2 Full Image Recording

It is possible to record a full image, regardless of the live image stream that is being displayed. This ensures that the recording always contains the full image of the lens used, even though the operator may have used the vPTZ features to zoom into the image in order to examine a specic detail.

Live image Stored Full Image

This means that you can use the vPTZ features in VGA image size to pan, tilt and zoom in the live image while the camera is, for example, recording full images at 1 fps in MEGA or 6MP image size.

In MxManagementCenter, the recorded full images may be prepared for the user with the vPTZ functions (for example, panning and zooming in on an image detail such as a doorway).

If full image recording is not activated, only the last displayed live image will be saved (save what is seen). The mainbenet of live image storage is to ensure that the full power of the camera processor is used for live image correction and maximum frame rates. The main advantage of full image recording lies in the special functionality of the M16, in that it can always maintain availability of a maximum size (full) image for later investigation, despite vPTZ actions carried out on the live image. The mechanical limitations of motor-driven PTZ cameras mean that they simply cannot provide this unique advantage to the user!

Analysis in stored full image

Notes

Post-eventsearchinthefullimage:If you are using full image recording on M16 cameras, you should use at least MEGA image size when storing. This will facilitate later searches in MxManagementCenter. The advanced distortion correction features require this function to deliver satisfactory image quality.

Full image recording on: Due to the increased processing time, full image recording reduces the data rate of the live image stream, which may drop by around 10 to 30 percent. We therefore recommend reducing the frame rate for storage as much as possible to aect the live image stream as little as possible.

3.4.3 SpecialM16CongurationintheBrowser

M16andDierentSensorModules

A range of combination options are provided that change the available display modes and conguration possibilities by using the MOBOTIX M16 with dierent sensor modules.

Because of this, a M16 automatically detects which sensor modules are installed and proceeds as follows:

When the camera is started for the rst time, it detects

•

the connected sensor modules and captures their data (focal length, day or night version).

•

If only one sensor module is connected, the camera acts as a mono camera (meaning that there is no automatic day/night switching, etc.).

• If there is no change within the rst 12 hours of operation, the camera writes the details of these sensor modules to the camera conguration.

•

With every restart, the camera checks if the stored sensor modules are present. If the sensor conguration has changed in the meantime (e.g., because a sensor module has been exchanged),

the camera shows a corresponding message in the live image
