FOREWORD

Dear MOBOTIX customer,

Congratulations on your decision to purchase an extraordinarily powerful and compact

network camera “Made in Germany”! The D25M MonoDome is a complete decentral

ized system that has a high-performance processor, integrated software, an array

of sensors and a digital SD card video recorder for long-term storage. The

weatherproof MiniUSB and MxBus interfaces of the camera allow attaching

MOBOTIX interface boxes and standard devices, such as 3G/UMTS modems, external storage devices, etc.

The numerous, easily interchangeable lens options of the D25M provide for

solutions that can be tailored for many dierent application scenarios. This

robust dome camera (IP65) can also be ordered with optional Vandalism, On-Wall

and In-Ceiling sets.

The introduction of the newest ﬁve-megapixel sensor technology with increased light sensitivity not only generates more brilliant images with more details, it also delivers color images of higher quality under lowlight conditions. Another improvement – The D25M-IT now generates HD images (1280x 720 pixels) instead of the VGA images of predecessor models (640x 480 pixels).

Another plus– the improved light sensitivity of the 5MP sensors, which drastically reduces exposure times. In conjunction with MxLEO, the exposure and image optimization program working in the background, the camera generates perceptibly better and more detailed images especially under low-light conditions. This signiﬁcantly reduces motion blur that is typical of longer exposure times with little light and thus provides much more image detail (faces, license plates, etc.) for proper identiﬁcation.

You can download the MOBOTIX video management software MxEasy and MxControlCenter and the manuals from the MOBOTIX website: www.mobotix.com> Support> Software Downloads. For the iPad, iPhone and iPod touch iOS devices, MOBOTIX oers the MOBOTIX App, a free-of-charge mobile solution that is easily found when searching for “MOBOTIX AG” in the App Store.

If you have any questions, our support and international sales sta are available at intl-support@mobotix.com

from Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm (German time).

We would like to thank you for your trust and wish you all the best with your new MOBOTIX camera D25M MonoDome!

A Master Of Adaptability

All D25M models come with an easily interchangeable lens and a robust 1.5mm thick polycarbonate dome. An extensive range of accessories is also available for installing the camera in an application-optimized manner, for supplying power or expanding the functions of the camera. Furthermore, MOBOTIX customers can take advantage of MxEasy or the professional control center software MxControlCenter free of charge and with an unlimited user and camera license. If required, a D25M camera can even be upgraded to function as a powerful intercom system by adding the MOBOTIX ExtIO module.

Robust And Elegant

The D25M is available in the Secure, IT or Basic models depending on the software features. Five high-performance lenses are currently available for the D25M in the compact M14 housing. Due to their low power consumption of only 3watts, D25M cameras can oper

ate in an extremely wide temperature range (–30 to +50°C/–22 to +122°F). Since MOBOTIX cameras neither fog up nor require heating, power can be supplied via the network cabling using standard PoE products. The D25M IT and Secure models are completely dust-proof and resistant to water jets (IP65; D25M Basic: IP54). The D25M Wall Mount makes the camera ideally suited for outdoor use and for installation over surface-mounted sockets so that the cabling remains thoroughly concealed.

Complete HiRes Video Solutions by MOBOTIX

As opposed to conventional solutions, MOBOTIX cameras with their decentralized approach oer so much more – state-of-the-art, network-based video security technology that increases operating eciency and yields a high degree of every-day usefulness.

Extraordinary Picture Quality

Image quality is the one key criterion of a security camera. Due to their internal video analysis and data storage capabilities, the decentralized MOBOTIX systems are indepen

dent of the available network bandwidth. As a result, the system provides for eciently storing and managing the video streams of a virtually unlimited number of cameras with the highest resolution at a reasonable cost.

5 Megapixel Image Sensors (5MP)

MOBOTIX cameras possess high-resolution image sensors with 5 megapixel resolu

tion and excellent light sensitivity, which translates into more details when zooming and more clear-cut advantages for every user. By using the 5MP technology in their color and black&white image sensors, MOBOTIX cameras deliver convincing image quality and details even in bad weather and under lowlight conditions. Another important plus: thanks to its internal pre-processing of the image data, the camera can generate video streams with up to 30 frames per second.

MOBOTIX ExtIO (functional extension for D25M)

12/140

D25M Camera Manual: Product Overview

www.mobotix.com • sales@mobotix.com

QXGA Image Format: 2.5 Times More Detail than Full HD

The 5MP sensor has a resolution of 2592x 1944 pixels on both day and night sensors. While the image sensor shows its full strength when zooming the live image, the maximum image size per sensor has the more user-friendly QXGA format.

Low Light Conditions– No Problem

The maximum resolution of the color and black&white image sensors is 5megapixels. The higher light sensitivity of the new color image sensors now allow using MOBOTIX color cameras around the clock even when the illumination is low.

MxLEO: Exposure Optimization and Reduced Image Noise

MxLEO– the MOBOTIX Lowlight Exposure Optimization– is an innovative technology that provides an entirely new experience in digital image optimization in all cameras running ﬁrmware 4.1.9 and higher. On the one hand, the improved light sensitivity of the MOBOTIX 5MP sensors drastically reduces exposure times. MxLEO, the exposure and image optimi

zation program especially developed for these conditions, on the other hand, generates perceptibly better and more detailed images especially under low-light conditions below 25Lux. Such conditions are typical at a parking lot at night that is illuminated by regular lights (approx. 10 to 25Lux). Or in a building after hours, in which the emergency lights are burning (approx. 5Lux). This signiﬁcantly reduces motion blur that is typical of longer exposure times with little light and thus provides much more image detail (faces, license plates, etc.) for proper identiﬁcation.

High-Resolution Sees More And Costs Less

One D25M camera equipped with a 82° Wide Angle lens is usually all that is required to monitor either an entire room from a corner or the four lanes of a gas station. The high degree of image detail not only reduces the number of required cameras, but also minimizes system costs by reducing the wiring complexity, emergency power requirements and number of recording devices required. D25M cameras (IT and Secure) feature direct recording to integrated MicroSD cards or external USB drives. As a result, these cameras can be used in standalone operation with zero network load!

Universal Application From The Vacation Home To The Airport

MOBOTIX D25M cameras are suitable for use in large-scale facilities like airports given their unlimited scalability and high performance. However, they are equally suitable for use in small commercial or private buildings thanks to their integrated event, storage, alarm and telephony functions.

The Right Lens For Every Application

You can change the lens in the D25M camera models on site whenever necessary. Each lens is secured by a lock ring. Each camera has a factory-aligned and quality-tested lens, which makes on-site camera focusing unnecessary in most cases. The D25M cameras are available for delivery with a lens of your choosing or no lens at all.

The image area captured by the D25M varies depending on the selected lens. With a Super Wide Angle lens (L25 with 82°), for example, almost an entire room can be recorded from just one corner. With an L160 Telephoto lens, a D25M camera with a high-resolution

5megapixel sensor is capable of clearly recording a license plate number from a distance of 75 meters. Or even the serial number of a 5 euro bill from a distance of two meters!

With a D25M equipped with an L25 lens, the (slightly) distorted image can be corrected by software

D25M Camera Manual: Product Overview

www.mobotix.com • sales@mobotix.com

Virtual PTZ (vPTZ) – No Motor Required

The D25M can zoom in on detail as well. These vPTZ functions are a standard feature in the integrated D25M camera software. The image from the mono dome camera can be

enlarged using e.g. the mouse wheel, a joystick or a software-controlled PTZ panel, and

you can "move" the view to any section of the image. This provides the features of

a mechanical PTZ camera without the disadvantages of maintenance and wear.

This vPTZ functionality works dierently depending on the camera operation platform (web browser, MxEasy, MxControlCenter). Virtual zoom, pan and tilt using MxEasy and MxControlCenter is very simple thanks to special software tools and the use of an optional joystick. However, a joystick may also be used even with pure browser-based operation from Internet Explorer (together with an ActiveX plug-in).

D25M Overview

Simultaneous Zoomed Live Image And Full Image Recording

All conventional, motorized PTZ cameras only store the image that is currently viewed as the live image (live image recording). This has one serious disadvantage as the recording can only show what has happened in the "visible" portion of the image; the rest is lost and cannot be examined later on. For this reason, MOBOTIX has added the new full image recording feature to the D25M. This will not store the currently viewed image that reﬂects the pan/tilt position and the zoom setting chosen by the user, but the full sensor image without vPTZ settings. When examining the recorded images at a later point in time, the vPTZ features again come into play, as they allow the visible image to be zoomed and use the pan/tilt features to examine every corner of the recorded full image.

Example:

The people marked by the red circle in the middle area of the image would not have been recorded by a regular PTZ camera; the full image recording of the D25M allows you to determine, for example, the exact time at which these people entered the image area recorded by the camera. A browser (Internet Explorer with MxPEG ActiveX plug-in), MxControlCenter or MxEasy can be used to examine the recorded sequences.

The image distortion caused by the L25 82° Wide Angle lens can be corrected. Since this function requires more computing power, it should not be enabled in the live image for applications that require a maximum frame rate. The image distortion in the recording can also be corrected at a later time.

Integrated vPTZ functions allow the complete stored full image to be "analyzed" at a later point in time (in MxEasy and MxControlCenter)

Internal DVR

The D25M IT/Secure model features direct recording to integrated MicroSD cards, which makes the camera fully independent of any

external storage media, even for longer periods of time. The camera internally stores high-resolution video, without requiring an external recording device or PC and therefore without overloading the network whatsoever. Old recordings may be overwritten automatically or automatically deleted after a speciﬁed period of time. A 16GB MicroSD card, for example, allows the camera to store more than a quarter million event images in VGA format (640x480). For security reasons, the camera can even encrypt the stored data.

Power failures are not an issue, as the video and image sequences remain safely stored on the MicroSD card. Access to stored video sequences is possible at any time from the camera user interface in the browser, MxControlCenter or MxEasy. If you would like to archive sequences, you can store all of the data or only certain parts to a computer or a USB hard disk.

MxActivitySensor Video Motion Analysis: Secure Detection, Avoiding False Alarms

Regardless if there are large objects in the foreground or small objects in the background– MxActivitySensor will only trigger video recording and alarm messaging if something important is happening. Interference such as trees shaking in the wind, moving shadows and clouds and snow falling will no longer lead to false alarms. Since all of this is ﬁltered automatically, all that remains is to set the direction of movement of objects that should trigger alarms.

Robust And Maintenance-Free

Thanks to their low power consumption of approximately 3watts and the total absence of mechanical moving parts, the D25M models feature the highest operating temperature range from –30 to +50°C/–22 to +122°F and are completely dust-proof and resistant to water jets (D25M IT/Secure IP65; D25M Basic IP54). Since the cameras neither fog up nor require heating, power can be supplied all year round via the Ethernet cabling using standard PoE products.

D25M Overview

www.mobotix.com • sales@mobotix.com

Model Versions

The D25M is available in the Secure, IT or Basic models, which all come with dierent features. The D25M is delivered with an L25 Super Wide Angle lens (horizontal angle of 82°) as standard. Four additional lenses (Wide Angle and Telephoto) with viewing angles of 13°, 27°, 40° or 55° are available upon request. The standard IT and Secure models include a pre-formatted and pre-installed 4GB MicroSD card. Audio features can be added at any time with the ExtIO module (not available for Basic model).

Basic and IT Cameras: Maximum Image Size Is now HD instead of VGA

The D25M-Basic and IT models now generate HD images (1280x 720 pixels) instead of the VGA images of predecessor models (640x 480 pixels). The special quality advantage of a MOBOTIX Basic/IT camera with HD resolution (1280x 720): The HD images of a MOBOTIX are generated by the high-resolution image sensor with 2592x 1944 pixels and are optimized and scaled down for the HD format. Because of the high-resolution sensor, the generated images– especially with respect to quality and light sensitivity– are noticeably superior than regular HD cameras that are only using a simple HD sensor with 1280x 720 pixels.

1.1.2 Advantages and New Features

The high-resolution D25M MonoDome is a universally deployable, highly innovative and easily concealable camera system. A powerful successor to the D24M, the D25M features ﬁve-megapixel image sensors. For technical reasons, the live or recorded images displayed by an D25M sensor have a maximum size of QXGA. However, the D25M is clearly superior to the previous model in terms of image quality and frame rate.

Smooth HiRes Video Streams

The modiﬁed hardware of the D25M transmits the camera‘s video streams even more smoothly than the high-performance D24M, even when high resolution is required. Since image streams of 16 frames per second and higher are perceived as ﬂuid video by the human eye, the maximum frame rate is limited to 30 frames per second (when using MEGA resolution of 1280x 960) in order to provide sucient camera processing power for other tasks.

Conclusive Still Images

Thanks to the proprietary MxPEG video codec developed exclusively for MOBOTIX cameras, the cameras oer the advantage that a recording can be paused at any given point and still provide meaningful and useful snapshots due to the absence of distortion. This is essential for security applications and allows individuals or license plates to be identiﬁed, for example. In contrast, the H.264 standard, which was developed for feature movies and is favored by some video security providers, cannot achieve this with the required level of quality.

Good Color Images Even In Low Light

The more light-sensitive an image sensor is, the better the image quality, especially when the ambient light level is low, such as at dusk and in heavy rainfall. The D25M oers the best MOBOTIX image quality that is currently available thanks to the light sensitivity pro

vided by the ﬁve-megapixel color sensor that is four times higher than that of the previous three-megapixel color sensor and the new MxLEO exposure control.

More Details When Zooming

The maximum zoom factor of the D25M is 1.26 times higher than that of the S14 due to the use of ﬁve-megapixel technology. This means that the degree of detail provided by the camera has improved by 26 percent. As a result, an D25M can now be installed even further away than before from the objects and areas to be monitored. In addition, this relativizes the horizontal image angles of the new ﬁve-megapixel sensors that are slightly smaller compared to the D24M.

Black&White Image Sensor with 5 Megapixels

You can now order the D25M with a ﬁve-megapixel night sensor that can deliver black and white images with up to QXGA resolution. This results in larger images than those delivered by the previous 1.3-megapixel sensor with a perceptibly higher degree of details.

MxActivitySensor

The D25M provides an activity-controlled image analysis sensor as standard for detecting the movements of people and objects in a deﬁned surveillance area (full image or section). The MxActivitySensor delivers reliable results particularly in outdoor area applications, in contrast to video motion detection that continues to be available and that registers all image changes in deﬁned video motion windows. In the monitored area, the camera distinguishes between the continuous movements of vehicles, persons or objects that trigger an alarm and movements that do not set o an alarm such as shadows, changing light conditions and trees swaying in the wind.

Low Power Consumption In Accordance With The PoE Standard (IEEE 802.3af)

An D25M uses no more power than its predecessor (typically 4.5watts), despite the new sensor technology. 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).

1.1.3 Decentralized Video System

Usually, cameras only supply images, while processing and recording take place later on a central PC using video management software. This centralized structure has too many limitations for high-resolution video systems since it requires high network bandwidth and the PC processing power is insucient when using several high-resolution cameras. Due to the large number of computers and servers required, traditional centralized systems are therefore becoming less suitable and cost eective.

As part of the decentralized MOBOTIX concept, every camera features a high-speed processor, and, if necessary, digital long-term ﬂash memory (MicroSD card) can be integrated to provide several days of recording time. The com

puter or video control center is required only to view and control the cameras, not to evaluate and record video. This means that you do not have to rely on expensive, overloaded video management software as most of the important functions that require a large amount of processing power are integrated into the MOBOTIX cameras themselves.

Integrated sensors enable MOBOTIX cameras such as the D25M to automatically detect when an event has occurred. If necessary, the cameras will respond immediately with an alarm sound and will establish a direct video and sound connection to a control room.

The D25M is equipped with a shock detector as standard (for all IT and Secure models). For example, if the camera receives a blow to the housing, it can simultaneously take a video of the oender, trigger a sound alarm and notify the security company by a SIP call. Due to the build quality and absence of moving parts, MOBOTIX cameras are extremely tough. This typically allows them to stay fully operational especially when they are subject to strong vibrations.

All MOBOTIX cameras are backlight-proof and are not adversely aected by the glare from direct sunlight. They deliver meaningful, detailed images at all times as the camera software supports easy programming of independent exposure windows, making them ideal for rooms with large glass fronts.

In the event of an alarm, MOBOTIX D25M camerascan also record lip-synchronous audio. The cameras therefore play an important role in analyzing and clarifying a situation. Thanks to an integrated speaker and microphone, each individual camera can also be used for bidirectional communication (two-way video communication), so you can easily use the MOBOTIX App with your iPhone or iPad on the road.

D25M Overview

The decentralized MOBOTIX video solutions are superior to traditional systems in all major aspects. They are also considerably cheaper to operate since they require

• Fewer cameras due to the more accurate detail of panorama images with mega

pixel technology

•

Fewer recording devices because in the decentralized system, ten times the standard number of cameras can be used to record high-resolution HDTV video with sound on one computer/server simultaneously

• Lower network bandwidth because everything is processed in the camera itself

and the high-resolution images therefore do not have to be constantly transported for analysis

1.1.4 Green IP Video

The modern, network-based video security technology oers numerous advantages to use energy eciently. Due to the special product and system properties, the decision to install MOBOTIX video systems is also a decision for Green IP Video: low power consump

tion and environmental friendly because of long life expectancy and minimal amount of materials involved.

Low Power Consumption

MOBOTIX cameras are cost-eciently supplied via PoE. This reduces the expenses for power and, in addition, saves copper and other important raw material as less power cabling is necessary.

Robust

MOBOTIX IP65 cameras are highly robust and work – without high-power climate control and extra protective housing – in a temperature range from –30 to +50°C/–22 to +122°F.

Modern

Integrated into the cameras are high-power processors and ﬂash storage, thus making energy-consuming servers and storage devices unnecessary. And, of course, the disposal of waste later.

High Resolution

A hemispheric MOBOTIX camera with two image sensors replaces up to eight standard cameras – including their consumption of energy and resources.

Sustainable

Without mechanical components, MOBOTIX cameras are maintenance-free and stay fully functional, even after years – and are, thus, more sustainable compared to other systems.

Forward-Looking

Even previous camera models can be easily updated and then oer new functionalities. Remote updates via the internet and the fact that the cameras are maintenance-free reduce trips by car, and, thereby, the negative eect on the environment.

1.2 Technical Speciﬁcations

1.2.1 Lens Options, Hardware And Software Features

MOBOTIX currently oers ﬁve standard lenses with M14 thread from the L25 Super Wide Angle lens with a 22mm focal length through to the L135 Telephoto lens with a 135mm focal length (equivalent to 35mm camera). Since MOBOTIX cameras are backlight-proof, they do not require a mechanical auto iris, making them extremely robust and maintenance-free.

• L25 Super Wide Angle with 82° image angle (horizontal)

• L38 Wide Angle with 55° image angle (horizontal)

• L51 Wide Angle with 40° image angle (horizontal)

• L76 Telephoto with 27° image angle (horizontal)

• L160 Telephoto with 13° image angle (horizontal)

The L25 Super Wide Angle 82° lens has very little distortion and delivers good image quality, even when using the maximum digital zoom. If a camera with this lens has been mounted in the corner of a room, the complete room is visible on the image.

Notes

The speciﬁed focal lengths of the 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 L25 Super Wide-Angle lens has an actual focal length of 4 mm. This would be the equivalent of 25 mm on a 35 mm camera. It is therefore referred to as an L25. 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 INSTALLATION

Although the D25M is primarily designed for installation on walls and ceilings, it can also be mounted to a pole or the corner of a building, for example, using the appropriate MOBOTIX accessories.

2.1 Preparing The Installation

Before installing the MOBOTIX D25M, the following questions should be answered:

1. Where will the camera be mounted?

Mounting to a ceiling or wall, see

Section 2.1.1

2. Which other mounting options are available?

On-wall mounting, in-ceiling mounting, vandalism protection, wall mounting, pole mounting, see

Section 2.1.2

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

MX-NPA-PoE or other PoE components (IEEE 802.3af), see

Section 2.1.3

4. How are the connections furnished from the building?

2.1.1 Ceiling And Wall Mounting

Like all MOBOTIX cameras, the D25M is extremely ﬂexible in terms of how and where it can be installed (see

Section 2.1.2

). The Basic model meets the IP54 standard while the IT and Secure models are weatherproof in accordance with IP65. However, installations on a wall or ceiling are the most common mounting positions. In indoor spaces, the D25M is usually mounted from the ceiling. The Super Wide Angle lens (82°, L25) allows a room to be monitored almost entirely by a camera mounted in the corner. Using the PTZ software, you can easily zoom in on image details in either the live image or the recording.

Wall Installation Using The Outdoor Wall Mount

Outdoors, the D25M is usually mounted on a building wall. In principle, the camera can be installed without additional wall mounts, although the positional range of the lens may be limited as a result. We therefore recommend using the practical Wall Mount from the range of available accessories (see

Section 2.6

). The cable exit of the D25M is located

in the center of the housing's underside. For more detailed information on the installation process, see

Section 2.2

and the following sections. The appropriate drilling templates

can be found at the end of the manual.

2.1.2 Mounting Options

On-Wall Installation (MX-OPT-AP)

The On-Wall Set can reliably protect external cables if the cables cannot be fed in the center below the camera housing. The On-Wall Mount also provides ample space for extra modules.

On-Wall Installation With 10° Inclination (MX-OPT-AP-10DEG)

This On-Wall Set is identical to the regular On-Wall Set, except that the mounted camera is inclined by 10 degrees. The inclination makes it possible for the camera to deliver the best images even in demand

ing situations.

In-Ceiling Installation (MX-OPT-IC)

The In-Ceiling Set allows the D25M camera to be installed in suspended ceilings, for example. This type of installation provides optimal protection for the camera and reduces the visible proﬁle to a minimum since only the dome remains visible.

Vandalism Set (MX-D25M-Vandal)

The Vandalism Set provides added protection for D25M cameras. The set consists of a robust stainless steel cover (matt or polished) and an impact-resistant polycarbonate dome. A camera equipped with the Vandalism Set is perfectly suited for applications in demanding environments (such as prisons, trouble areas, train stations, etc.).

Wall Mount (MX-OPT-WH)

The Wall Mount is the ideal solution for mounting the D25M to walls for indoor and outdoor applications. The camera is completely dust-proof and resistant to water jets (IP65). The Wall Mount also covers RJ45 ﬂush-mounted sockets and has ample space for additional modules.

Corner And Pole Mount (MX-OPT-MH)

The MOBOTIX Corner and Pole Mount is the ideal choice when mounting the MOBOTIX D25M to a pole or building corner. This mount can only be used in conjunction with the Wall Mount. For poles with a diameter ranging from 60to180mm.

2.1.3 Network Connection And Power Supply, UPS

Power over Ethernet (PoE Conforming To IEEE 802.3af)

All D25M models are supplied with power using the PoE standard. The Network Power Adapter (MX-NPA-PoE-Set) may be used for smaller installations. For larger installations, it is worth investing in a PoE-capable supply device D25M available on the market (PoE switch/router).

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

100m. 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 cable: 45Mbps and 12W for the PoE device).

Note

The MOBOTIX D25M can be powered by switches or routers which support the PoE (Power-over-Ethernet) standard and conform to IEEE 802.3af.

Advantages of PoE power supply:

• Allows setting up centralized backup power supply via the network.

• Reduces energy consumption.

• No extra network connection for camera required.

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 ﬂuctuations, 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-NPA-PoE + Universal Power Supply) or with PoE-compliant switches according to IEEE 802.3af.

2.1.4 Preparing 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 D25M, you should make sure that the network connections have been properly tested so that the proper functioning of the camera is guaranteed.

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 (

-RJ45

variant) or

a network installation cable (

-LSA

variant).

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, ﬁre 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 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 tech

nology for preventing damages from electrical surges.

Guidelines for Wiring

• Data cable: Make sure you only use double-shielded CAT5 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 (see below).

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

Section 2.9

• 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 (e.g. VDE in Germany, IEEE in the USA) in eect on wiring and ﬁre prevention at the site of the installation.

55/140

Preparing 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 1.4.12, «MX-Overvoltage-

Protection-Box»

(adapter not included in delivery).

5. Attach the camera to the ceiling or wall (see sections below).

6. Aim and adjust the lens (see

Section 3.3.1

Caution

For safety reasons, only use the pre-installed MOBOTIX network cable that was included in the delivery. Always ensure that the rubber plug of the network cable reliably protects the outer shell from moisture entering the camera. All openings of the camera housing need to be properly sealed. This is the only way to guarantee that the camera remains weatherproof.

Notes

Network Connection Without Pre-Installed Cable

The network cable is fed through the ceiling directly above the camera. Make sure the cable is completely sealed by the rubber gasket on the housing (do not bend the cable!) When preparing the installation, ensure that at least 15cm of cable length (excluding the connector itself) remains inside the camera housing (similar to factory preinstallation). This will ensure that you can turn and tilt the lens mount freely later on.

Surface-Mounted Socket

If a surface-mounted socket is used, the camera must be mounted using the out

door Wall Mount. The camera cannot be mounted directly on top of protruding, surface-mounted sockets.

2.2.3 Procedure For D25M IT/Secure

1. Install and prepare the network connection

2. Install the ﬂush-mounted socket:The pre-installed cable attached to the camera

must be connected with the on-site network cable. For installation without acces

sories, a ﬂush-mounted socket must be installed ﬁrst to provide space for the connection. The cabling is now perfectly protected and cannot be seen or accessed from the outside. The camera cannot be mounted directly on top of protruding, surface-mounted sockets. Use the supplied camera drilling template (fold-out at the end of this manual) to mark the position of the ﬂush-mounted socket for the desired camera position.

Drill the holes: Drill the holes for the supplied screw anchors (see drilling template).

4. Connect the cable: Connect the on-site network cable to the camera patch cable

using a standard connector.

5. Attach the camera: Use the (included) screws to ax the mounting ring and the

rubber washer around each of the four screw holes on the rear side of the on-wall housing (remove the adhesive foil and press into place, surface must be clean and free of grease). This prevents water from entering the housing.

2. Prepare the cabling: Insert the seal into the cable

opening of the On-Wall Set such that the black rubber seal is on the outside. Fix it in place from the inside using a small hexagonal nut.

3. Mount the On-Wall Set: Mount the On-Wall Set (with

out the camera) at the intended position using the Torx screws (included with D25M camera, items 1.10 – 1.12).

4. Cable feeding: Attach the counter nut to the network

cable, pass it through the seal from the outside and tighten the nut. The network cable is now screwed into the On-Wall Set, weatherproof. All unused openings must be sealed with the included sealant plugs. The cable passing into the housing must always be installed using the supplied three-part ﬁttings.

Remove the camera outer shell: Remove all four Allen screws with the supplied Allen wrench and lift o the outer shell (not mounted upon delivery).

2.4 Mounting The Camera With The In-Ceiling Set

2.4.1 Mounting Instructions

The In-Ceiling Set oers the most stylish installation option for the D25M. When properly installed, the only visible component is a particularly sleek and discreet dome camera, while most of the remaining components are concealed inside the ceiling. Only the compact dome and the thin decorative ring that conceals the screws can be seen.

For these reasons, the D25M installed with the In-Ceiling Set is the preferred option for most indoor spaces frequented by customers or the general public (e.g. hotels, restaurants, banks, retail stores, public buildings, etc.).

The common use of suspended ceilings in commercial and public buildings is an additional reason to place a preference on in-ceiling installation. The installation process is also simpliﬁed, as the network cable may be laid without diculty and only a 15 cm diameter hole must be cut in the ceiling or ceiling component.

Before installing the MOBOTIX D25M (IT/Secure) on an indoor ceiling with the In-Ceiling Set, you must prepare the network connection and drill a hole for the camera:

• Network connection: The network cable is fed through the ceiling directly above

the camera. When preparing the installation, make sure that about 15cm of cable remains unused.

• Cut a hole for installation: The hole should have a diameter of 150mm (see drilling

template at the end of the manual).

The white decorative ring is also available in stainless steel

2.6 Installing The Wall Mount

2.6.1 Mounting Instructions

The Wall Mount allows you to easily mount D25M cameras to walls or extensions, both indoors or outdoors. The camera remains IP65 weatherproof (dust-proof and resistant to water jets). The Wall Mount also covers RJ45 ﬂush-mounted sockets and has ample space for additional modules (Mx2wire, WLAN, batteries, etc.).

Before mounting the MOBOTIX D25M with the Wall Mount, you must prepare the network connection and drill the holes for the ﬁxtures:

•

The on-site network cabling is passed through the opening in the back of the Wall Mount. The cable and the required (standard) connector for the camera cable (patch cable) are ideally protected by a robust wall sealing made from foam rubber. Nothing is visible or accessible from the outside. The Wall Mount may be mounted directly on top of surface- or ﬂush-mounted sockets. Maximum width x height of the socket: 88 mm x 80 mm.

• Only use the factory installed patch cable of the D25M (50 cm cable length) or a MOBOTIX cable that is available as an accessory in various lengths.

• All openings of the camera housing need to be properly sealed. This is the only way to guarantee that the camera remains weatherproof.

• The supplied screw anchors should be used for the drill holes in the wall. Use the drilling template for the D25M Wall Mount (fold-out at the end of this manual) to mark the exact position for the drill holes and the holes through which the cables will later be fed.

2.9.9 Camera Startup Sequence

As soon as the camera's power supply has been established, the two LEDs will show the progress of the startup sequence (see

Section5.4.3, «LED Signals and LED Conﬁguration»

in the MOBOTIX

Camera Software Manual

•

Booting: Immediately after connecting the power supply, the red LED lights up, ﬂashes for two seconds, then stays on permanently red. A camera self-test is carried out at this point, and the entire system is started. In case of an error, the camera will start using the backup system.

• Waiting for key pressed: Both LEDs light up for four seconds. If you press the R or L key of the camera during this time, the camera will execute the corresponding function (see

Section 3.2.6, «Starting The Camera With An Automatic IP Address

(DHCP)»

and

3 OPERATING THE CAMERA

3.1 Manual And Automatic Operation - Overview

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

1. Connect the camera to the network. Power is supplied directly via the network

cable (see

Section 2.1.3

)

2. Set up the camera's network parameters: – Manually using a web browser (see

Section 3.2.1

, then

Section 3.2.2

)

– Automatically using MxControlCenter/MxEasy (see

Section 3.2.3

and 3.2.4) or

via DHCP (see

Section 3.2.6

)

3. Conﬁgure the camera using the browser-based user interface.

Every MOBOTIX camera comes preconﬁgured with a ﬁxed IP address in the 10.x.x.x range (e.g. 10.8.0.99). However, local computer networks usually have IP addresses in the 172 or 192 ranges. In order to access a MOBOTIX camera via the network, the camera needs to obtain an IP address in the same address range. You can set up the network parameters of the MOBOTIX camera using one of the following methods: Manually, using MxCC and MxEasy or by DHCP.

3.1.1 Manually Using A Computer In The 10.x.x.x IP Address Range

You can set up the camera's network parameters using a browser and the embedded camera software. To do this, connect the camera to a computer or a network that is using a 10.x.x.x IP address range (see

Section 3.1.1, «Manually Using A Computer In The 10.x.x.x

IP Address Range»

). Once this has been completed, you can enter the camera's default IP address in the browser address bar of the com

puter (see

Section 3.2.2).The First Images And The Most Important Settings In The Browser

). Next, click

the Admin Menu button to open the camera's Quick Installation in the browser's user interface. This is where you can conﬁgure the desired network parameters of the camera. Once you have completed the Quick Installation, you can connect the camera with its new network parameters to the desired network.

Advantages

–

The camera does not need to be physically accessible, i.e. it can remain mounted to a pole, for example.

– No additional software is required.

– The network parameters can be set ﬂexibly through manual entry.

Disadvantages

– The computer or the network need to operate in the 10.x.x.x IP address range or

need to be able to access such a network.

– The setup does not work automatically.

– You need to know the relevant network parameters.

The default IP address of your camera is printed on a sticker on the back of the camera

3.1.3 Automatically Using DHCP

The camera can automatically obtain its network parameters using DHCP. This requires the network to have a functioning DHCP server (e.g. 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 can be announced via the speaker of an activated ExtIO that is connected to the D25M as soon as the camera has booted successfully.

Advantages

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

– Network parameters are automatically assigned.

– No additional software is required.

– You do not need to access the camera user interface.

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.

– The IP address must be determined by the administrator.

The ExtIO module is available from the MOBOTIX accessories program

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 (e.g. 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 (

Section 3.2.3

and

Section 3.2.4

)

Notes

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 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: Pressing the R key on the camera prompts the camera to announce its current IP address over a speaker.

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.
