D14D Camera Manual: The MOBOTIX Concept

THE MOBOTIX CONCEPT

HiRes Video Innovations And Technology Leader

The German company MOBOTIX AG is known as the leading pioneer in network camera technology since its founding in 1999, and its decentralized concept has made high-resolution video systems cost ecient.

MOBOTIX has been producing megapixel cameras exclusively for many years now and is regarded as the global market

leader for high-resolution video systems.

Why High-Resolution Systems?

The higher the resolution, the more accurate the detail in the image. With analog technology, a recorded image generally has no more than 0.1 megapixels (CIF). One

single MOBOTIX camera with 3.1 megapixels records

around 30 times more detail. As a result, larger image areas with up to 360° allround

views are possible, thus reducing the number of cameras, and therefore the costs. For example, four lanes of a gas station can be recorded with one MOBOTIX camera instead of four conventional cameras.

Disadvantages Of The Old Centralized Standard Solution

Usually, cameras only supply the images while the processing and recording is done later on a central PC using expensive video management software. This traditional centralized structure has many limitations, since it requires high network bandwidth and the PC processing power is not enough for several cameras. An HDTV MPEG4 ﬁlm already puts considerable strain on a PC, so how can it be expected to process dozens of highresolution live cameras? Traditional

centralized systems are therefore less suitable and unproﬁtable when compared with high-resolution systems due to the high number of PCs needed.

The Decentralized MOBOTIX Concept

Unlike other systems, with the decentralized MOBOTIX concept, a high-speed computer and if necessary, digital long-term memory (MicroSD Card) is built into every camera, providing several days of recording time. The PC and the video control center now serve only for viewing and controlling the cameras (PTZ), not for analysis or recording. This makes it unnecessary to purchase expensive video management software, as the most important and computer-intensive functions are already integrated in the MOBOTIX cameras.

The Beneﬁts

MOBOTIX video solutions therefore require signiﬁcantly:

•

fewer cameras due to the more accurate detail of panoramic images with megapixel

technology,

• fewer storage devices, because in the decentralized system, 10 times the standard number of cameras can simultaneously store high-resolution HDTV video with sound on one PC/server.

• lower network bandwidth, because everything is processed in the camera itself and the high-resolution images therefore do not have to be constantly transferred for analysis.

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. Since no PC hard disk is required for recording, there are no parts that wear out in the entire video system.

D14D Camera Manual: Superior Storage Solution

SUPERIOR STORAGE SOLUTION

MOBOTIX Storage Concept Without Bottlenecks

These days, video data is normally pre-processed and stored centrally on a PC or digital video recorder (DVR) using video management software. Video and audio streams from all installed cameras are directed to this central device. In this case, using high-resolution cameras often results in data jam. Above all, storage is inecient, because if the PC has limited computing power, the high-resolution video with a high frame rate must be sent directly to a storage device before it can be processed.

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). MOBOTIX cameras can of course also minimize the recording independent of the live video, and the sound channel is recorded even with video recordings of two frames per second.

No Storage Limit

The decentralized MOBOTIX concept enables the user to save around 10 times the number of cameras on a single storage device because the camera manages the recording itself (on a PC, server, NAS), thus reducing load on the device. For this reason, practically speaking, there is no memory limit for the entire system because theoretically, each camera is able to manage its own terabyte-sized storage device via the network. Another beneﬁt of this concept is the use of aordable, reliable NAS drives that do not require any special software.

SD Card Memory Reduces Storage Costs

MOBOTIX cameras are also able to store up to 64 GB of video in their integrated memory. Thanks to this high storage capacity and the option of recording only the sequences in which an event occurs, external storage devices such as hard drives are rarely required. This saves on storage devices and network infrastructure and reduces the maintenance cost of mechanical components such as hard drives or fans. The internal SD cards (ﬂash memory) are digital and since they do not have mechanical components, they are maintenance-free.

A single 64 GB SD card has space for:

• 2 weeks of continuous recording from four gas station lanes

• 4 days of video in TV quality

• 200,000 clips of 10s each in high-resolution

• 2 million images

Ideal For Dicult Network Conditions Or WLAN

MOBOTIX cameras are ideal for dicult network conditions or WLAN connections because the internal ﬂash storage bridges network failures or bandwidth ﬂuctuations and synchronizes data when a connection is re-established with the external storage device.

The option of backing up the internal memory at preset times (for example, at night) reduces the load on the network and, in many cases, enables shared use of the existing network infrastructure.

D14D Camera Manual: Added Security Value

www.mobotix.com • sales@mobotix.com

ADDED SECURITY VALUE

Robust, Low-Maintenance Technology

The real added value of MOBOTIX products is reﬂected in characteristics such as enhanced functionality, long life, and robustness. MOBOTIX cameras have no moving parts. This makes the cameras very resistant to wear and tear, and reduces both maintenance costs and power consumption.

Alarm Management And Forwarding

Integrated sensors enable MOBOTIX cameras

to recognize when an event has occurred. If

desired, the cameras will respond immediately

with an alarm sound and will establish

a direct video and audio connection to a

control room.

Absolute Data Security

The security barriers that are built into the camera are extremely secure. The camera images are only accessible to authorized persons and are encrypted via SSL when they are transferred over the network.

Notiﬁcation Of Failure And Shock Detector

Your MOBOTIX video management system will automatically report any impairment or failure of single network components (e.g. cameras). This ensures maximum reliability and readiness for use.

Additionally, the D14D is the ﬁrst MOBOTIX camera with a pre-installed shock detector (for all IT and Secure versions). If, for example, the camera’s housing receives an impact, it can simultaneously take video of the oender, trigger an alarm and notify the security company via telephone. Due to the build quality and absence of moving parts, MOBOTIX cameras are extremely tough. This typically allows them to stay fully operational, in particular, when they are subject to strong vibrations.

Subsequent Searches

Unlike any other surveillance camera, MOBOTIX cameras are capable of recording the full image, even if the operator is zoomed into a speciﬁc area in the live image. This full image recording can always be reviewed via digital pan/tilt/zoom whenever necessary at a later date.

Users can search for events even in recorded video using post event video motion windows (in MxEasy or MxControlCenter). This is how, for example, a video motion window is placed

Page 13

Floor plan and camera view in MxControlCenter (free control center software from MOBOTIX)

above a door in the post image search dialog. This will only ﬁlter sequences triggered when that door opens/closes.

Sound Increases The Chance Of Detection

In the event of an alarm, MOBOTIX cameras can turn on their built-in microphones and record lip-synchronous sound. They are therefore an even greater help in analyzing a situation and easing clariﬁcation. In addition, the video system can be used for bidirectional communication via a loudspeaker/microphone.

No Problems With Backlighting

MOBOTIX cameras are not adversely aected by the glare from direct sunlight. They deliver meaningful, detailed images all the time because the camera software supports easy programming of independent exposure windows to cope with speciﬁc situations. This makes them ideal for rooms with large glass fronts.

Anti-Vandalism Dome Cameras

In critical environments or for outdoor use, it is often best to choose optionally vandalismprotected MOBOTIX cameras. Their steel housing resists even the hardest attacks, and

the cameras will deliver a perfect picture of the attackers.

Placing the exposure window in the lower image area (left image) delivers less optimum results compared to moving three individual exposure windows up toward the windows (right image)

1.1 An Overview Of The D14D DualDome

HiRes DualDome Camera With Two Independent Image Sensors And Lenses

With its compact and elegant dome-shaped housing, the MOBOTIX DualDome camera system has become an indispensable feature of the now global market of high-resolution network security cameras. Thanks to its two ﬂexibly adjustable lenses and optional HiRes image sensors, this camera system delivers video surveillance of one scene in day/night mode (DNight models) or it can even monitor two dierent areas simultaneously using dierent day or night lenses.

One camera monitors two different image areas

An Overview Of The D14D DualDome

www.mobotix.com • sales@mobotix.com

The First MOBOTIX Camera With Images Up To 6 Megapixels

As always, MOBOTIX focused on the most sophisticated customer requirements during the development phase. Compared to the previous D12D model, the D14D features numerous innovations and signiﬁcantly improved performance. The system architecture was adjusted to suit the new microprocessor, which allowed MOBOTIX to double the image rates of the previous model in terms of megapixel resolution. With the D14D, it is now possible to record a dual color image up to 6megapixels in size.

High-Resolution Sees More And Costs Less

A single D14D camera is all that is required to fully monitor an entire shop ﬂoor, as well as providing a direct view of the checkout. The simultaneous generation and evaluation of two images with a high degree of image detail not only reduces the number of required cameras, but also minimizes system costs by reducing the wiring complexity, backup power supply requirements and number of recording devices needed. All D14D cameras feature direct recording to integrated MicroSD cards (now up to 64GB!) or external USB drives and can therefore be used in standalone operation with no additional network load.

Robust, Practically Maintenance-Free And Versatile

Its robust design means that the D14D can be installed on walls or ceilings without any additional accessories in locations where the already very high requirements of the IP54 protection class are sucient.

Ambient temperatures may vary between –30°C and +60 °C (–22°F to 140°F), making it the ideal camera for the most demanding weather situations. From stations in Antarctica to production monitoring at a steel smelting plant– MOBOTIX cameras oer unmatched ﬂexibility and versatility.

The absence of mechanically moving parts, heating and ventilation means that D14D cameras requires less than 5watts of power, which can therefore be easily supplied via a standard PoE cable. Cleaning the D14D is simple enough– wipe the dome using a lint-free cotton cloth and a mild household detergent without abrasive particles.

D14D Model Versions And Lenses

The D14D is available in a Secure and IT version, each of which has two day or night sensors, or a day/night combination. The main dierence between Secure and IT models is that the two image sensors of the Secure models have a higher maximum resolution (two 3MEGA instead of two VGA). Each D14D comes with a well-protected pre-installed 4 GB MicroSD card as standard and, if required, it can be replaced with a card of up to 64 GB. The Night versions of the D14D with two highly sensitive black and white sensors deliver high-contrast images, even in extremely low-light conditions (min. of 0.01 lux).

In addition to the standard versions, the camera is also available in a D14D-DNight and a D14D-180° version.

D14D: Standard Version With Individual Lens Conﬁguration

The standard models of the D14D stand out because you can freely combine the two image sensors and lenses and you can focus them on dierent areas independently of one another. A lens can be delivered for every day or night sensor with an angle of 15°, 31°, 45°, 60° and 90° as desired.

D14D-180°: High-Resolution 180° Panoramic Image

The D14D 180° is equipped with two ﬁxed 90° Super Wide Angle lenses, which together ensure a high-resolution 180° panorama image that is up to 6 megapixels in size and is corrected by means of the camera software.

Using only one camera, it is possible, for example, to cover one side of a building and the adjacent areas (parking lots, lawns, etc.). Even as a high-quality webcam, the D14D180° delivers an excellent, detailed image.

D14D-DNight: Full Operational Readiness In Day And Night Situations

The day/night version of the D14D is equipped with two image sensors and two lenses which automatically switches to the ideal mode depending on lighting conditions: either the color sensor with daylight lens or the black and white image sensor with infrared lens.

The dual sensor system provides for excellent colors in daylight and high-quality images in dark environments.

The day and night lenses come pre-installed on a special DNight lens bridge, which ensures that they are positioned exactly parallel to one another. This way, the day lens always covers the same area as the night lens.

Outdoor Wall Mount: Weatherproof And Room For Extensions

Combined with the Outdoor Wall Mount, which is available as an accessory, the D14D is compliant with the higher protection class IP65 (fully dustproof and resistant to water jets) and can then be easily used in any unprotected outdoor areas. MOBOTIX oers an additional Corner and Pole Mount that allows the Outdoor Wall Mount to be attached to the corners of buildings and to masts.

The Outdoor Wall Mount’s design enables, for example, WiFi or GSM/GPRS modules to be installed directly within the weatherproof housing without disturbing the overall appearance of the surveillance unit. Similarly, relays for alarm sirens or lights can be installed easily and elegantly within the housing.

The Outdoor Wall Mount is made from PBT-30GF (polyethylene terephthalate with 30% ﬁberglass). This material, which is often used in the automotive industry, is stable and resistant to high temperatures, UV rays, other environmental factors, chemicals, etc. Combined with the software-based architecture of the MOBOTIX D14D and the free software updates, the whole surveillance system has a long product life and thus provides a high return on investment (ROI).

1.2 The Most Important Beneﬁts

The high-resolution DualDome D14D camera is the even more powerful successor to the D12D and has a new microprocessor and a modiﬁed system platform. The result is more than twice the processing power, which enables smooth video frame rates, even during the simultaneous transfer of two sensor images.

Double The Frame Rates Of The D12D

The modiﬁed hardware of the D14D not only brings signiﬁcantly increased performance thanks to the use of the PXA320 XScale processor, it also includes an FPGA hardware accelerator, which noticeably frees up the CPU.

New, Waterproof Connections To The Camera

The new MxBus and Mini USB interfaces allow current and future MOBOTIX modules to be connected directly to the D14D: for example, a GPS module, IO modules, an AudioBox as well as future modules for connection to mobile and wireless networks.

Up To 64GB Of Internal Memory

The MicroSD card now installed in the Secure versions of the MOBOTIX D14D has a 4-GB memory (max. 64GB) and allows for decentralized storage and additional reliability.

Adjustable PoE Classes

Adjusting the PoE class via the camera software also enables the use of PoE switches that cannot be operated on all ports with PoE class3 (up to max. 12.95V).

Improved Sound Quality

In the case of sound connections, a software-based echo elimination function that ensures a noticeably improved sound quality (particularly in the case of two-way communication) has been integrated.

Improved Camera Software

For example, any number of action proﬁles (FTP, e-mail, sound, telephone call and network report) can now be executed simultaneously for an event (for example, motion detection by the camera).

1.4 General Camera Functions

Like all MOBOTIX cameras, the D14D line has a variety of software functions: from motion detection and long-term storage right through to alarm notiﬁcation via video IP telephony. Unlike camera systems from other manufacturers, buying and installing additional software on the computer is thus unnecessary. It is possible to use a web browser, however, you can also download the free MxControlCenter or MxEasy from the MOBOTIX website, which allows quick displaying of multiple cameras on one monitor, alarm switching with audio or an easy event search.

vPTZ: Virtual Pan/Tilt/Zoom Features

While MxControlCenter has been providing virtual PTZ features for quite a while, these features are now available directly in the MOBOTIX camera. This means that you can continuously zoom into or out of the live image using either the mouse wheel or a joystick. When storing images or video sequences, you can choose to store either the visible image area of the live image or the full sensor image (full image storage). This also allows examining the parts of an image or video that had not been visible in the live image section on display at the time of the recording.

Automatic Image Correction (Only With The L22 Lens)

A problem familiar from the ﬁeld of photography is the distortions that result from using wide-angle lenses. Straight lines near the image borders are curved. The integrated distortion correction features of the camera (and of MxControlCenter) allow the curve of various lenses to be corrected using software functions.

Live Video With Up To 30 Frames Per Second, Including Audio

The MOBOTIX cameras deliver smooth live video with lip-synchronous live audio, yet they keep the network load to a minimum. Some analog systems may also be able to deliver this, but the quality of recording is so much higher with MOBOTIX since the cameras eciently store the high, live-image resolution and frame rate without compromising image quality. MOBOTIX technology thus provides for continuous recording of simultaneous video from 30 cameras at 30frames per second each, including audio, all on one standard PC.

Very Low Network Load

MOBOTIX’s patent-pending streaming format MxPEG enables fast live video with sound at extremely low network load (1 to 2Mbps). Since the MOBOTIX camera itself detects movements in the image (and not the computer), the video sequences are only transmitted if movements occur.

Camera vPTZ functions can be controlled with a mouse or joystick

Using a joystick: Internet Explorer with activated MxPEG ActiveX plug-in, MxControlCenter, or MxEasy required

MxControlCenter and MxEasy can be downloaded free of charge at www.mobotix.com

Page 25

25/132

General Camera Functions

www.mobotix.com • sales@mobotix.com

Voice over IP

Moreover, MxPEG provides for lip-synchronous live audio and two-way communication between the camera and a computer. Room surveillance is possible using a browser (Internet Explorer), MxControlCenter, or MxEasy. Customized alarm notiﬁcation on your mobile or via Internet telephony is just as easy as event-controlled voice messages directly from the camera.

Internet Telephony (SIP) and Video SIP

Video SIP allows establishing audio/video connections to the camera using Windows Messenger or similar applications (e.g. CounterPath X-Lite/Eyebeam). This feature also allows the camera to be controlled remotely using the phone keys and the camera itself can place phone calls in case of alarms.

Long-Term Storage On File Servers Included

MOBOTIX cameras have an integrated long-term storage system for Linux, Windows, and Mac OS X computers. Every camera manages its own ring buer storage on the shared folder. Thanks to this decentralized approach, 30 live cameras can store images of up to 30 frames per second each, including sound, on a single computer.

Internal DVR: Storage On MicroSD And CF Cards

MOBOTIX cameras support the direct storage on an internal MicroSD/SD card. By using the integrated DVR, the camera is able to oer the following additional applications:

• Standalone operation of the camera without a ﬁle server by recording to the MicroSD card

• High-security application with recording on a ﬁle server or NAS/SAN in which the SD card serves as storage buer. It can thus bridge longer network or ﬁle server failures without losing any video sequences (supported in a future software version).

• Event downloads from the MicroSD card for evaluation of the recorded sequences on a computer

Event and Time-Controlled

Just like triggering event-controlled recording upon detecting movements in the image, the camera can also record when the volume detected by the microphone exceeds a certain trigger value. Using scheduled daily recording, time tasks can start or stop video recording, upload images to a web site or send e-mails with video/audio clips. Vacation times and holidays can be programmed.

Remote Alerting

In case of an alarm, MOBOTIX cameras can automatically pop up windows or activate other functions at a remote security control center. The cameras can use network/wi-ﬁ, GSM/GPRS/UMTS (3G), or Internet connections for this purpose.

Integrated Power-over-Ethernet

Power is supplied as Power over Ethernet via the network cabling using the MOBOTIX NPA-PoE-Set or from a PoE-compatible switch (both according to the IEEE 802.3af PoE standard).

Caution

Previous MOBOTIX network power accessories such as the NPA Set, Power Box and Power Rack (MX-NPA-Set, MX-NPR-4 and MX-NPR8/20) are not suitable for use with the D14D.

No heating is necessary thanks to the well-insulated plastic housing and anti-fogging properties. Due to their low power consumption (approximately 5 watts), MOBOTIX cameras, unlike those of other manufacturers, may be operated both indoors and outdoors using a PoE power supply.

Logos, Animated Or Freestyle

The logo generator of MOBOTIX cameras allows integrating banners and graphics (including ﬁles loaded from any URL) into the current camera images with optional scheduler control. MOBOTIX cameras are the only network IP cameras supporting animated and transparent graphics.

No heating required – PoE is no problem, even in winter

MxControlCenter – Professional Video Management, Free Of Charge

Instead of using a web browser, you can download and install the free-of-charge MxControlCenter from the MOBOTIX website. This program allows live images from highresolution MOBOTIX cameras to be displayed on one monitor with sound. In addition, MxControlCenter can activate alarms with lip-synchronous sound and also enables convenient event search. The integrated Layout Editor of MxControlCenter provides for quickly creating ﬂoor plans by simply dragging/dropping the cameras onto a background image. Load a ﬂoor plan as background image, drag and drop the cameras; done.

MxEasy – Intuitive Application For Windows, Apple, And Linux

MxEasy aims at easy operation of the most important camera functions through its intuitive user interface, thus creating a new user experience when viewing and controlling MOBOTIX cameras. The clear design allows up to 16 cameras to be managed, and the application can display up to four cameras at the same time.

All settings selected in MxEasy (for example, virtual camera position, zoom, brightness, volume, microphone sensitivity, image storage, signal outputs) are usable immediately and are stored instantly in the conﬁguration of the corresponding camera. The calendar function integrated in the Alarm Planner provides access to innovative features for scheduled settings of one or more cameras.

This tool not only controls video and sound recording based on certain time and date information, but also allows features like video motion detection, image brightness and the microphone to be activated/ deactivated based on a date and time schedule.

MxEasy is available as a free-of-charge download for Windows and Mac OS X at www.mobotix.com.

Diverse Installation Options

Not only can MOBOTIX cameras be used under almost all weather and temperature conditions, they also oer suitable installation materials from a wide range of accessories for any conceivable application scenario.

Additional Camera Functions (Software)

• True software scaling generates smaller image formats easily for PDAs (such as 320x240, 160x120, etc.).

• Audio-video recording has three dierent recording modes: event recording with audio, continuous recording with variable frame rate and audio, and event-controlled snapshot recording of JPEG images.

• Storage failure detection can monitor a ﬁle server (or a ﬂash device), and can use one or more of the deﬁned messaging options for error notiﬁcation

•

Player of recorded images/video sequences includes audio in the integrated video management system

• Multiwatcher screen can display and monitor several cameras over the Internet with only one camera requiring access from the outside. This “proxy” camera uses very little bandwidth, making it an ideal solution for low-bandwidth connections

•

MultiView screen for displaying multiple cameras or events appears in one browser window

• Event notiﬁcation via e-mail, voice notiﬁcation (phone call), sounds, and by visual means (for example, red frame in live image).

• Object tracing for analyzing the paths of objects that are moving in the image

Page 29

General Camera Functions

www.mobotix.com • sales@mobotix.com

• Time Tables that handle customized holidays and vacations are used to control the camera's arming, image recording messaging, logos, the obscure image function as well as other features.

• Remote signaling for master/slave cameras, where the master camera controls the arming status of the slave cameras allows all slave cameras to be armed using a key switch connected to the master camera for example.

• Transfer proﬁles allow easy control of transmissions via FTP, e-mail, phone calls, and network messages.

• Speakerphone allows you to speak via microphone, monitor the room via audio and allows two-way communication.

•

Phone Call-In remotely controls the camera using a touchtone telephone (retrieve camera information, establish an Internet connection, announce the retrieved IP address, two-way communication, etc.).

•

MxPEG video compression and display uses MxControlCenter or MxEasy. The ActiveX plug-in for Internet Explorer users brings all advantages of MxPEG to the browserbased user interface, including the audio stream to and from the camera.

• Routing allows use of other network connections besides the standard route.

• DynDNS client for accessing the camera via the Internet using a symbolic name (for example, mymobotixcam.dyndns.org) if the provider assigns a new dynamic IP address every time the camera connects to the Internet.

• Non-voidable backup system starts the cameras in the original operating state if a software update fails, allowing the user to easily restart the update process.

•

Enhanced startup options for the camera (obtain IP address via DHCP, announcement of IP address and other network data, reset to factory default settings)

• Notiﬁcations upon errors or when rebooting provide a method for executing one or more notiﬁcations like blinking of the camera LEDs, audio message, FTP, e-mail, phone call, network message.

•

Extended security features protect the pages and features of the camera and prohibit unauthorized access (IP-level access control, intrusion detection). They also provide SSL-protected transmission of the video sequences and the data (using SSL encryption and X.509 certiﬁcates).

1.5 Lenses, Equipment and Technical Data

MOBOTIX currently oers ﬁve standard lenses with M14 thread for the D14D that can all be combined with a day or night sensor (color or black and white). Since MOBOTIX cameras are backlight-proof, none of these lenses requires a mechanical auto iris, thus making the camera extremely robust and maintenance-free.

The L22 Super Wide Angle lens has very little distortion and delivers good image quality, even when using the maximum digital zoom. If the D14D has been mounted in the corner of a room with this lens, the complete room is visible on the image.

In the case of the special model D14D 180°, two L22 lenses are installed in such a way that the camera can optically combine the two 90° images using software to form a single large and corrected 180° panorama image.

D14D With Standard Lenses And M14 Thread

A total of ﬁve dierent MOBOTIX lenses are oered for every sensor unit:

• L22 Super Wide Angle with 90° image angle (horizontal)

• L32 Wide Angle with 60° image angle (horizontal)

• L43 Wide Angle with 45° image angle (horizontal)

• L65 Telephoto with 31° image angle (horizontal)

• L135 Telephoto with 15° image angle (horizontal)

This results in a total of 15 possible lens combinations for a D14D (L22/L22 to L135/L135).

Notes

The speciﬁed focal lengths of MOBOTIX lenses do not reﬂect the actual focal length of the lenses, but the focal length (Lxxmm) converted to 35mm camera format. For example, the MOBOTIX Super Wide-Angle lens has an actual focal length of 4mm. This would be the equivalent of 22mm on a 35mm camera. It is therefore referred to as an L22. Since the image sensors in digital cameras have dierent sizes, converting the focal lengths to 35mm camera as a known format allows the image formats and the ﬁelds of vision of the dierent lenses to be calculated and compared more easily. Another beneﬁt is that you can easily set a 35mm camera (analog or digital) to the same focal length as the MOBOTIX lens (Lxx) to obtain the same ﬁeld of vision. This approach greatly facilitates lens selection.

2 MOUNTING

2.1 Overview Of Mounting Options

2.1.1 Mounting Indoor Cameras To A Ceiling Or Wall (Without Accessories)

In order to mount the MOBOTIX D14D to a ceiling or wall, you need to drill the holes for the ﬁxtures. Use the supplied drilling template (fold-out at the end of this manual) to mark the position for drilling the dowel holes and the holes through which the cables will be led later on. Remember to position the drilling template according to the direction of

the camera’s PIR sensor.

Connecting The Camera Patch Cable To The Network Cable (for example, Cat 5)

• Position the camera housing over the cable exit.

• Connect the camera patch cable securely to the Ethernet cable, for example, using the MX-Patch-Box.

• Use the proper screws to mount the camera housing to the wall or ceiling.

Preventing Condensation

The Outdoor Wall Mount may have to be used, as the PIR sensor can be turned in any direction when installed horizontally (PIR is tilted diagonally downwards).

Special Case: Mounting The D14D-180° To A Wall Without The Wall Mount

The lens mount unit has to be rotated by 180° so that you do not get an upside down panorama image. For additional information on this topic, see the end of Section 2.3.1 (Mount The Lens Units).

Note

Make sure that the camera is always mounted on a smooth surface. Otherwise, the sealing lip on the underside of the housing will not be able to close tightly or will bend upwards, which leads to leaks between the outer shell and the housing.

2.1.2 Outdoor Installation On A Wall, Pole Or Corner (With Accessories)

The associated Outdoor Wall Mount can be used to mount the D14D outdoors and is compliant with IP65 speciﬁcations (fully dustproof and resistant to water jets). Operating temperatures may vary between –30°C and +60°C (–22°F to 140°F), making it the ideal camera for the most demanding weather situations. The drill holes must be prepared for the installation. Use the supplied drilling template to mark the position of the holes for the ﬁxtures and the holes through which the cables will be led later on (fold-out).

If you would like to mount the MOBOTIX D14D to the corner of a building or a pole, you should consider using the MOBOTIX Corner and Pole Mount. This mount can only be used together with the Outdoor Wall Mount. The supplied stainless steel straps allow the mount to be attached to poles with diameters between 60 and 180mm.

The folded drilling templates can be found at the end of the manual

2.2 Overview Of Network Connection

2.2.1 Power over Ethernet (PoE Conforming to IEEE 802.3af)

All D14D models are supplied with power using the PoE standard. The PoE Adapter Set (MX-NPA-PoE Set) may be used for smaller installations. For larger installations, it is worth investing in a PoE-capable supply device available on the market. The end of Section 2

contains more information on the possible combinations of connecting the D14D and power supply options.

Caution

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

Previous MOBOTIX network power accessories such as the NPA Set, Power Box

or Power Rack (MX-NPA-Set, MX-NPR-4 and MX-NPR8/20) are not suitable for use with the D14D.

Note

The MOBOTIX D14D can be powered by switches or routers that support the PoE (Power over Ethernet) standard and conform to IEEE 802.3af.

Advantages of PoE power supply:

• Advantages of centralized backup power supply are available via network

• Lower, more cost-eective power consumption

• Camera does not require an additional network connection

The D14D supports the Power over Ethernet standard IEEE 802.3af (PoE)

The PoE adapter replaces the crossover cable when directly connecting to a computer

Overview Of Network Connection

www.mobotix.com • sales@mobotix.com

2.2.2 Uninterruptible Power Supplies (UPS)

In order to maintain a continuous power supply even when utility power fails, you should install an uninterruptible power supply (UPS). These devices also provide full protection against electrical surges and voltage ﬂuctuations and thus enhance 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 (e.g. 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-NPA-PoE with Universal Power Supply) or with PoE-compliant switches according to IEEE 802.3af.

2.2.3 Providing The Camera Connections, Wall Outlets

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 mounting the MOBOTIX D14D, you should make sure that the network connections have been properly tested, so that the proper functioning of the camera is guaranteed.

2.2.4 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, ﬁre prevention, and protection against lightning.

MOBOTIX cameras are protected against the eects of small electrical surges by numerous 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 certiﬁed specialists accustomed to installing network devices and having proper respect for the applicable regulations regarding lightning protection and ﬁre 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 cables (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 country-speciﬁc regulations (for example, VDE in Germany, IEEE in the U.S.) in eect on wiring and ﬁre prevention at the site of the installation.

2.6 Adjusting The Lens

Make sure that you see the live image of the camera on the monitor of your computer or laptop. Now adjust the lenses one by one until you see the desired image area on your monitor:

• Remove the camera dome using a lint-free cotton cloth.

• Release the lock ring of the lens, adjust the image sharpness and tighten the lock ring again. To avoid damaging the lens mount,

never turn the lens too far or with force.

• Mount the dome again using a soft cotton cloth.

Notes

The focusing aid provides a visual aid when setting the image sharpness of a MOBOTIX camera lens (see Section 4.3.3

Image and Audio Settings, Quick

Controls

in the

Software Manual

Image focus: Due to the lens eect of the dome, the focus of the 135 mm telephoto lens shifts slightly once the dome has been mounted. Before mounting the dome, the telephoto lens should be rotated by about 90° in a counterclockwise direction (against the direction in which the lens is screwed). Make sure that you check the focus of the live image with the dome installed and readjust the lens, if required.

We do not recommend (even) aligning the telephoto lens horizontally due to the image distortions that occur in the top part of the dome for technical reasons.

2.7 Network And Power Connection

2.7.1 Notes On Cable Lengths And Power Supply

•

Power may only be supplied to the camera via its Ethernet connector. 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)

• 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 Ethernet interface of the camera. Check the LED activity of the corresponding port at the switch or router.

•

It is highly recommend to use 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.

2.7.2 PoE Variables

The power consumption of the camera depends on the functions in use as well as any connected expansion modules (see table). PoE classes 1, 2 or 3 may be selected in the browser-based user interface in order to optimally adjust the camera to your system design (PoE switch in use, emergency power concept, etc.).

PoE power level classes (IEEE 802.3af standard):

Clase Max. power consumption Possible Operating Modes and accessories

1 0.44W to 3.84W

LowPower Mode (available soon): no accessories

2 3.84W – 6.49W (factory default) Standard Mode: max. 1 W for accessories

3 6.49W to 12.95W

FullPower Mode: max. 4 W for accessories (max. allowed ambient temperature: +50°C/+122°F)

MOBOTIX factory default is class 2

Page 77

77/132

Network And Power Connection

www.mobotix.com • sales@mobotix.com

The MOBOTIX factory default is PoE class 2. This default is usually ﬁne and nothing needs to be changed. However, the PoE power class must be changed in the browser if the higher power class 3 is required for your application:

1. Select Admin Menu > Network Setup > Ethernet interface (for experts).

2. Under Power Supply, click on Change.

3. A Power Wizard will appear to guide you through the PoE conﬁguration steps.

4. Next, restart the camera: Disconnect the camera from the power supply. Then reconnect it, for example, by disconnecting and then reconnecting the Ethernet cable at the PoE switch.

2.7.3 Power Supply Using A Switch

1. Connect the factory pre-installed cable of the camera to the Camera connector of the PoE adapter.

2. Connect the LAN/Power connector of the PoE adapter to the Ethernet connector of the switch/router or the Ethernet socket.

3. Plug the RJ45 connector of the power supply unit into the PC/Power connector of the PoE adapter.

Variable PoE: multiple cameras can be operated simultaneously from the same switch

For the D14D, you should use the blue MX-NPA-PoE Set –

2.7.6 Camera Startup Sequence

As soon as the power supply has been established, LEDs 2 and 4 will show the progress of the startup sequence:

• Hardware test: After the power has been connected, LEDs 2 and 4 will light up for about two seconds. The camera’s computer checks the camera hardware.

• Backup system test: The camera checks the operating system. In case of an error, the camera will start using the backup operating system, allowing you to reinstall the system software.

•

Unpacking the OS: The camera unpacks the operating system from the ﬂash EPROM and copies it to the camera’s memory (LEDs 2 and 4 light up for about ten seconds). Starting the OS: The Linux operating system unpacks its data to the RAM disk and initializes the system.

• Boot mode (factory IP address/DHCP): If the magnetic side of the custom tool is pressed to the spot marked L, the camera starts either using its factory default IP address (all LEDs ﬂash) or with DHCP (all LEDs light up). See also Sections 3.2.5 and

3.2.6 of this manual. The ﬂashing patterns only appear in the case of a hardware reboot, that is, after the power supply has been interrupted.

• Starting the applications: Once the application software has been started, LED 1 will light up continuously (if it has not been switched o for this conﬁguration). You can now access the camera using your browser.

Note

During the startup sequence of the camera, the LEDs will always light up, even if they have been deactivated in Admin Menu> LED Setup.

The camera can automatically obtain its network parameters using DHCP (Dynamic Host Conﬁguration Protocol). This requires the network to have a functioning DHCP server (for example, a DSL router with activated DHCP server) and the camera must be booted using DHCP (see Section 3.2.6, Starting The Camera With An Automatic IP Address (DHCP)). The IP address automatically assigned by the DHCP server will be announced via the camera speaker as soon as the camera has booted successfully.

Advantages

• You can directly connect the camera to the target network.

• Network parameters are automatically assigned.

• There is no additional software required.

• You do not need to access the camera software.

Disadvantages

• The camera needs to be physically accessible as you need to press a key on the camera housing to boot it using DHCP.

• Requires a running DHCP server on the network.

3.2 First Images And The Most Important Settings

Once the 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 parameters of the camera. If your network is already using an IP address in the 10.x.x.x 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 (Section 3.2.1)

• Automatic Setup using MxControlCenter or MxEasy (Sections 3.2.3 and 3.2.4)

Note

For the following examples, we will use a camera with the factory address 10.8.0.99. Replace this IP address with the IP address of your camera. You will ﬁnd this address 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.

3.2.1 Manually Setting Up The Network Parameters In A Browser

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

1. Change The Network Parameters Of Your Computer:

Windows (2000, XP, and Vista):

1. Open Start > Settings > Control Panel > Network Connections. Clicking Properties opens the dialog

shown.

2. Double-click on Internet Protocol (TCP/IP). On the General tab, activate the

Use the following IP address

option. Enter an IP address in the 10.x.x.x range in this ﬁeld (for example, 10.8.0.11).

3. Once all dialogs have been closed, the computer will have the IP address 10.8.0.11.

Pressing the “L” key (see Section 2.7.6) with the magnetic side of the custom tool will prompt the camera to announce its current IP address on the camera speaker.

3.2.3 First Images And Network Parameter Conﬁguration In MxControlCenter

Installation

If you want to install the current version of the software, you can download the current Windows installer from the MOBOTIX website as an MSI ﬁle, which you can install manually. The latest versions are available at www.mobotix.com in the Support> Sof tware Downloads>

MxControlCenter.

If you have downloaded the latest Windows installer, double-click the

MSI ﬁle to initiate

the installation process.

The installer copies the selected ﬁles to the computer (older versions will be removed automatically) and then creates the designated shortcuts during the installation process (Desktop, Start Menu, etc.).

Caution

MxControlCenter will automatically attempt to ﬁnd all MOBOTIX cameras in the physically connected network (that is, even a MOBOTIX camera with a factory IP address of 10.x.x.x ). Make sure that the ﬁrewall settings on your computer are low enough so that MxControlCenter is not blocked. If any MOBOTIX cameras are found, MxControlCenter can automatically reconﬁgure them so that they are available in the current subnet of the computer. If you do not have permission to modify these settings on your computer, contact your system administrator for assistance.

MOBOTIX- Searching And Displaying MOBOTIX Cameras

Launch MxControlCenter after successful installation by double-clicking the shortcut that was created by the installer or the executable ﬁle MxCC.exe in the installation directory on your computer.

When you launch the program for the ﬁrst time, the Add Video Sources dialog box appears and the application automatically searches for MOBOTIX cameras in the local network. To perform a camera search at a later time, select Video Source > Add from the menu.

If your MOBOTIX camera is properly connected, it should appear together with the existing video sources in the following list:

Note

Video sources in this context not only refer to cameras, but also to third-party IP

cameras, ﬁle server paths, clips and analog cameras connected via (for example, analog dome cameras). These video sources are not found automatically and need to be added manually.

Cameras Are Found But Are Located In A Dierent Subnet

The symbols in the ﬁrst column and the legend in the dialog indicate whether you can access a particular camera directly from the MxControlCenter, which is the case for all cameras designated with

(OK) . Cameras designated with (dierent subnet) are located in a dierent subnet. This usually applies to new cameras or cameras that have been reset to their factory settings.

Note

MxControlCenter ﬁnds all MOBOTIX cameras, even when the computer and the cameras are not located in the same subnet.

Once you have marked all of the desired video sources in the list with OK, you can now select those that you wish to display and manage in MxControlCenter. The live image is automatically displayed in the preview window when a camera is selected to help you identify the cameras.

For cameras marked with Dierent subnet or if you want to add additional video sources, follow the instructions in the following sections. You can also display the selected cameras directly in a layout. For more information, see Section Creating A New Layout.

Reconﬁguring Cameras In A Dierent Subnet

If one or more MOBOTIX cameras are displayed with the status Dierent subnet (for example, cameras with a factory IP address), MxControlCenter automatically oers to conﬁgure the network settings of these cameras. In this case, the application displays the dialog box shown here after you have clicked on the “Add selected video sources” button. Click on Yes to conﬁgure the cameras to the subnet of your computer.

A DHCP server automatically assigns IP addresses for network devices in most networks so that you can automatically select the default setting Get IP address automatically (DHCP) in the Conﬁgure selected cameras dialog box.

Page 91

91/132

First Images And The Most Important Settings

www.mobotix.com • sales@mobotix.com

Activate the option Use this IP address/this range if the IP address of a particular camera must be assigned manually (for networks with permanent IP addresses). Obtain the assigned IP address, subnet mask and standard gateway from your network administrator and enter the data. To reconﬁgure multiple cameras at the same time, all you have to do is enter the range of IP addresses that includes the addresses of all of these cameras.

Make sure that the checkbox Store conﬁguration in the camera is checked. This setting ensures that the cameras are displayed with the correct network settings even after they have been rebooted. Click on OK to close the dialog box.

Wait until MxControlCenter has changed the network settings and rebooted the cameras. The status of the reconﬁgured camera changes from

(Dierent subnet) to (OK).

Deﬁning Additional Video Sources

In addition to the MOBOTIX cameras that are found automatically, you can also manually add video sources to the list of video sources for MxControlCenter

• Camera: Here, you can enter the known IP address or DNS name of an MOBOTIX camera or a third-party IP camera if it was not found by the automatic search feature.

• MxPEG clip: Adds an MxPEG video clip previously recorded by an MOBOTIX camera as a video source.

• Recording path: Adds the path of an external ﬁle server where a MOBOTIX camera has recorded audio/video data. The videos or images recorded at that location can now be played back using the Player or Video Search.

Page 92

Editing the Video Source List

This list provides a context menu (right mouse key), allowing you to select/deselect all video sources at once. You can also use this method to remove from the list some or all of the video sources that you would not like to display or manage in MxControlCenter.

If you have cancelled the camera conﬁguration process or need a password that diers from the camera's factory default password, you can also conﬁgure the camera from the shortcut menu at a later date and enter the user name and password required for reconﬁguration at that time.

It is also possible to open the Conﬁgure selected cameras dialog using the shortcut menu in order to change the camera network parameters.

Creating A New Layout

In the dialog box Add video sources select the camera or other video sources that you would like to display in a layout (a view with a group of selected cameras) and then click on Add selected video sources.

The dialog box Create new layout is displayed. If you select the option Generate new grid for selected video sources here, MxControlCenter automatically generates a grid layout that displays windows of the same size for all selected video sources. Give each layout a unique name (for example, underground garage).

If you select the second option, the video sources you selected are simply integrated in the MxCC system, where you can use them to generate a layout at a later time.

Click on OK to conﬁrm your selection.

3.2.4 First Images And Network Parameter Conﬁguration In MxEasy

Installing And Starting MxEasy

Download the current version of MxEasy from the MOBOTIX website (www.mobotix.com> Support> Software Downloads in the MxEasy area). Double-click on the shortcut for the program or load the program ﬁle.

Finding Cameras

When you start MxEasy for the ﬁrst time on a computer, the MxEasy Assistant automatically begins to search for MOBOTIX cameras, and displays all cameras found in a list. The camera list will be updated automatically as soon as new MOBOTIX cameras are connected to, or removed from the network.

MxEasy also automatically monitors and displays the operating status of all cameras. Cameras that are not on the same subnet as the computer will get a dierently colored icon than the cameras that are on the same subnet. Likewise, the cameras that have an unknown password or for which no user name/password combination has been speciﬁed in MxEasy will get a dierently colored icon. The following section contains information for cameras with the status Invalid network (for example, for all new MOBOTIX cameras with factory settings) and includes tips for conﬁguring these cameras for the “right” subnet.

Reconﬁguring Network Addresses Of Cameras

Using Bonjour*, MxEasy ﬁnds not only cameras on the same network as your computer, but also MOBOTIX cameras located in other subnets (Status Invalid Network). In such a case, you would not be able to establish any connection to cameras in a dierent network or subnet (without going into much further detail regarding TCP/IP network conﬁgurations). This is possible, for example, when a camera with a factory IP address is connected to a network in which a DHCP server automatically assigns the IP addresses. MxEasy can automatically conﬁgure such a camera so that it is “integrated” into your existing network. To do so, you only have to select the aected camera in the list and then click on the button Continue.

After a security prompt, a new dialog box for conﬁguring the selected camera is displayed.

If your computer automatically obtains its IP address from a DHCP server, then this is certainly the best choice for that speciﬁc camera and most likely for all other cameras that have been found in a dierent subnet (Get IP address automatically option).

If you have assigned a ﬁxed IP address to your computer, you will probably want to assign ﬁxed IP addresses (issued by your system administrator) to every camera (the Use this IP address option). Normally, you enter the same conﬁguration used for the network settings of your computer.

When you click on OK, the selected cameras are automatically reconﬁgured and they are located in the same subnet as the computer.

Integrating And Displaying Cameras

After a camera has been reconﬁgured, it has the status Accessible and can be integrated into MxEasy. The MxEasy Assistant then displays the dialog box Deﬁne integration mode in MxEasy.

Here, you can jump directly to the main window of MxEasy with the current live camera image by activating the option Quick Start. However, some required detailed conﬁgurations may have to be made at a later time (for example, password protection, available bandwidth). For this reason, we recommend activating the option Complete integration and complete the remaining dialog boxes of the MxEasy Assistant until the main window appears.

For more information, see the MxEasy User Manual, which can be downloaded as a PDF ﬁle from the MOBOTIX website: www.mobotix.com > Support> Manuals.

3.2.5 Starting the Camera With The Factory IP Address

Under certain circumstances, you may have to reset the camera to its factory IP address. This could be the case, for example, if the IP address has been lost or the camera does not respond to the last known IP address.

1. If the camera is powered on, disconnect the power supply by unplugging the corresponding cables and then reconnect the power supply.

2. After about ten seconds, the LEDs will light up and blink for about four seconds.

3. After they stop blinking (all LEDs light up continuously now), hold the magnetic

side of the custom tool over the spot above the microphone labeled L in the ﬁgure (the switch is inside the camera housing).

4. If you skip this step, disconnect the camera from the power supply and start from the beginning.

5. Release the custom tool after around 40 seconds when the camera emits a single sound (“boing”).

Notes

If you use the camera's L key to load the factory network conﬁguration, this conﬁguration is not automatically saved in the camera's ﬂash memory. When the camera is next rebooted without using the L key, the last stored network conﬁguration will be used. To permanently store the new network conﬁguration in the camera's ﬂash memory, open Admin Menu> Store.

As opposed to resetting the camera using Admin Menu > Reset conﬁguration to factory defaults, the user information will not be reset if the camera is booted using the factory IP address.

Passwords and camera settings will not be changed

Users and passwords will not be reset!

Make sure you store the default network conguration to the permanent ash memory

3.2.6 Starting The Camera With An Automatic IP Address (DHCP)

If your network has a DHCP server, you can start the MOBOTIX camera with DHCP support. The camera automatically obtains an IP address from the DHCP server and announces the new network data. Note that if the speaker has been previously deactivated the announcement will not be audible (Admin Menu > Microphone and Speaker).

1. If the camera is powered on, disconnect the power supply by unplugging the corresponding cables and then reconnect the power supply.

2. After about ten seconds, the LEDs will light up and blink for about four seconds (ﬁrst blink), light up continuously and then blink again for about four seconds (second blink).

After they stop blinking (all LEDs light up continuously again), hold the magnetic side of the custom tool over the spot above the microphone labeled L in the ﬁgure (the switch is inside the camera housing).

4. If you skip this step, disconnect the camera from the power supply and start from the beginning.

5. Release the custom tool after around 25 seconds when the camera emits a sound twice (“boing, boing”). The network data is announced shortly afterwards.

Notes

Starting the camera with an automatic IP address (DHCP) is only temporary. The network conﬁguration of the camera can be set to DHCP permanently under Admin Menu> Ethernet Interface.

When starting the camera with DHCP support, make sure that the network has a functioning DHCP server. If this is not the case, the camera cannot obtain a valid IP address and will fall back to its last IP address.

You should also make sure that the cameras always obtain the same IP addresses by assigning the MAC addresses of the cameras to the desired IP addresses.

3.3 Virtual PTZ And Full Image Recording

3.3.1 Virtual PTZ

The virtual PTZ function allows you to use a mouse or joystick to continuously zoom in on images from the selected video source and “virtually” move the enlarged image section

within the entire image sensor area.

Operation Using The Mouse And Scroll Wheel

The vPTZ function of the camera can be controlled in the browser using the mouse. By clicking any position on the image displayed on the monitor, this position becomes the new image center. The image moves and is corrected accordingly. The scroll wheel can be used to control the zoom function. This functionality is disabled in the default settings of the camera and must therefore ﬁrst be activated. To do so, go to Setup Menu > vPTZ Settings and uncheck the Lock Mouse Wheel Zoom item. Then save the settings by clicking on Set and Close. You can now use the scroll wheel to zoom + (roll upwards) or

zoom – (roll downwards).

Virtual PTZ And Full Image Recording

www.mobotix.com • sales@mobotix.com

Operation Using USB Joystick

A standard USB joystick can drastically improve vPTZ operation for the user – in the browser, in MxEasy, and in the MxControlCenter (however, MxCC is also equipped with a virtual joystick that can be operated using the mouse). Please ﬁrst install the joystick on the PC according to the manufacturer's instructions.

In order to use a USB joystick in the browser, make sure that you have a PC with a Windows operating system and the latest version of Internet Explorer and that the “ActiveX” mode

in the camera software (browser) is activated:

• Switch to Browser in the Quick Control.

• Under Browser, select the option ActiveX in the ﬁeld to the right. The USB joystick can then be used until the browser is closed.

•

To store the setting permanently, ActiveX must be activated in the

Admin Menu. To do so, use Language and Start Page in

the Admin Menu.

• Under the page options, select the ActiveX operating mode.

• Store the settings permanently by clicking on Set and Close in the Admin Menu.

• The joystick can now be used.

Notes

For more information and details regarding vPTZ, see the Camera Software Manual, the manual for MxEasy and the manual for MxControlCenter.

The latest versions of all manuals are available at www.mobotix.com under the main menu item Support in the bar on the left-hand side (“Manuals”).

3.3.2 Full Image Storage

It is possible to store 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 speciﬁc detail.

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

In MxEasy or MxControlCenter, 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 storage is not activated, only the last displayed live image will be saved (save what is seen). The main beneﬁt 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 storage lies in the special functionality of the D14D, in that it can always ensure the availability of a maximum size (full) image for later searches, 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!

Notes

Post-event search in the full image: If you are using Full Image Recording on D14D

cameras, you should use at least MEGA resolution when storing. This will facilitate later searches in MxControlCenter or MxEasy. 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 to reduce the frame rate for storage as much as possible to aect the live image stream as little as possible.

Full Image Recording O: The event that triggered a video motion (VideoMotion VM) window may not be in the recorded sequences while the window was not displayed at the time.

Stored full image: Original camera image without distortion or image correction
