M16 Camera Manual
FOREWORD
Dear MOBOTIX customer,
represents an important milestone in the successful history of MOBOTIX products.
As decentralized complete video systems, MOBOTIX cameras have much more to
oer than conventional network cameras. The M16 features integrated environment
sensors (PIR, outside temperature, motion sensor), speaker and microphone for two-
way video communication based on the SIP standard, long-term memory, free video
management soware and a preassembled VarioFlex wall/ceiling mount, in addition to
two HiRes image sensors. The weatherproof MxBus and MiniUSB interfaces allow for direct
connection of MOBOTIX interface boxes and standard devices such as UMTS modules,
additional memory, etc.
With the M16, one or two separate and interchangeable MOBOTIX sensor modules (lens
plus sensor board and microphone) are installed in the camera base module M16 Body.
The sensor modules can be purchased from tele lens to Hemispheric, each available as
day or night models. In addition, the LPF (“Long Pass Filter”) variants of the night models
have been designed for special requirements (such as number plate recognition). If the
M16 is congured with a Day and a Night sensor module, the camera will automatically
switch to the appropriate image sensor depending on the illumination.
The introduction of the newest sensor technology with increased light sensitivity in com
bination with the new HD Premium lenses (aperture f/1.8) not only generates more brilliant images with up to 3072x2048, it also delivers color images of higher quality under
lowlight conditions.
Congratulations on your decision to purchase the M16, the powerful successor
to the original MOBOTIX M1/M10/M12/M15, proven over one hundred thousand
times. This weatherproof (IP66), versatile, all-round solution “Made in Germany”

M16 Camera Manual: Product Overview
1 PRODUCT OVERVIEW
1.1 M16 AllroundDual
1.1.1 General Product Characteristics
The HiRes Dual Camera System for All Your Needs
The M16 AllroundDual camera is a well equipped, professional network camera that is top
of the MOBOTIX product range, both in terms of functionality and technological capability.
The integration of two image sensors and a range of other functions and technical innovations results in unlimited usage possibilities: For video security applications in commercial,
private and public sector environments, as a surveillance or weather camera, a webcam,
indoors or outdoors, day or night.
Caution:MOBOTIXinUse!
It is clear from the outset that the M16 is an authentic MOBOTIX camera like its predecessor,
the M15. It oers special advantages when a security camera looks like the real thing thanks
to its unique, striking product design, which has stood for leading video technology and
image quality for many years. This is because potential criminals have developed an eye
for spotting high-resolution MOBOTIX cameras and will shy away from them when they
see one. Even they know these kinds of video cameras can record all activities with an
image quality high enough to be used as evidence, and criminals would rather abandon
these attempts and concentrate on less secure prospects.

Modular System Setup
A M16 camera consists of three main components:
Housing with integrated camera electronics, ash memory, external ports (Ethernet,
1.
MxBus*, MiniUSB) and pre-installed VarioFlex mount for wall or ceiling mounting.
(*Only supported by Mx-M16B variant.)
2.
Front element to hold one or two sensor modules, with microphone, speaker, passive
infrared sensor (PIR), outside temperature sensor and status LEDs.
3. One or two sensor modules with lens, image sensor, microphone and status LEDs
(microphone and status LEDs are deactivated if attached to a M16). Both the
M16-Thermal
sensor and you can install one additional sensor module.
The housing with VarioFlex mount, connection cable for sensor modules and network and
the front element are components of the M16 Body basic module as standard. The sensor
modules may be ordered separately and combined freely as desired (for example, Day/
Night, telephoto/wide-angle). The system’s modular design ensures a high level of exibility
and ease of repair (for example, replace one sensor module instead of the entire camera).

The Proper Sensor Module for Every Application
All in all, 24 dierent sensor modules are available for the M16: 8 focal lengths, from tele
lens to Hemispheric, each available as Day, Night or Night-LPF module for special purposes
(e.g. license plate recognition).
Note that the sensor modules are easily exchanged even if the camera has already been
installed. The image area captured by the camera varies depending on the focal length of
the selected lens. With a Super Wide Angle lens (90° angle of view), for example, almost an
entire room can be recorded from one corner. A Tele lens (7° angle of view) enables an M16
to clearly record a license plate number, for example, from a distance of approximately
150 m/500 . Or even the serial number of a bill from a distance of 4 m/12 .
One M16 is usually all that is required to monitor either an entire room 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.
6-MegapixelImageSensorTechnology
The sensor modules can show live images or store recordings with sizes of up to 3072x2048
(6MP).

M16 Camera Manual: Product Overview
Can Be Used Day and Night
The advantage of a M16 congured as a day-and-night camera is primarily that it conti
nuously uses two sensor modules (one day, one night) rather than relying on a mechanical
lter switch, which can be costly to maintain. The MOBOTIX image quality is very good
in poor lighting conditions, as the camera uses a real infrared-sensitive, black-and-white
image sensor instead of the usual color sensor with electronic color fade-out, whereby
the infrared sensitivity is reduced through integrated color lters.
The day and night lenses in the M16 are positioned exactly parallel to one another. This
way, the day lens always covers the same area as the night lens.
-
By design, the D016/N016
sensor modules may
display shades from the
camera housing or the
dome of the other D016/
N016 sensor module.
Hemispheric Day and Night Camera (M16 with D016/N016 Sensor Modules)
Equipped with one B016 sensor module for daylight (D016, color) and one sensor module
for night images (N016, Black & White), the M16 is the perfect hemispheric dual camera
for applications with a wide range of lighting conditions. Since both sensor modules are
always parallel thanks to the design of the M16, you will see the same image as a color
image by day and as a Black & White image by night.
Robust and Low-Maintenance
The M16 has been manufactured with the highest level of quality in mind always. Only
quality-tested, high-grade materials and components are used. MOBOTIX cameras do not
have any mechanical motors to operate the lenses or move the camera, making them so
robust that maintenance is reduced to a minimum. Cleaning is simple. You only need to wipe
the lens using a so cotton cloth and a mild household detergent without abrasive particles.
Weatherproof–WithoutHeatingorFan
The entire camera plus cables and sensor modules are weatherproof (IP66). Thanks to
their low power consumption (less than ve watts) and the total absence of mechani
cal moving parts, M16 cameras feature the highest operating temperature range from
–40 to 60 °C/–40 to 140 °F (cold start min. temp. –30 °C/–22 °F). Since the cameras neither
fog up nor require heating, power can be supplied via the network cabling according to
the PoE standard IEEE 802.3af.
Fast,SimpleInstallation
The MOBOTIX M16 requires just one cable for data and power to connect to a PoE switch
and thereby to any expandable Ethernet network.
-
12
The VarioFlex mount supplied as standard makes the camera ideally suited for outdoor use
and for installation over in-wall sockets so that the cabling remains perfectly concealed.
M16 AllroundDual
A number of additional devices can be used. They are connected via a network switch
or directly to the camera housing via an MxBus
MOBOTIX functional boxes, audio or USB-based storage devices). If the network switch
features an Internet connection, it can be used for encrypted access to the camera footage
from anywhere in the world.
The M16 also zooms in on detail. This vPTZ function (virtual Pan, Tilt, Zoom) is a standard
feature in the integrated camera soware. The image can be enlarged using, for example,
the mouse wheel, a joystick or a soware-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.
All standard motorized PTZ cameras only store the image sequence that is currently viewed
in 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. MOBOTIX has hence added the new full image recording feature
to the M16. When you activate this feature, the camera will not store the currently viewed
image that reects 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
date, the vPTZ features again come into play, as they allow you to zoom in on the visible
image and use the pan/tilt features to examine ever y corner of the recorded full image.
Internal DVR
The M16 features direct recording to the integrated MicroSD card, 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 creating any network load. Old recordings can be overwritten
automatically or automatically deleted aer a specied period of time. When using a 32 GB
SD card, for example, the camera can store more than a quarter million event images
in VGA format (640x480). If you would like to archive complete sequences or extracts of
sequences, you can export the required data to any PC or USB hard drive.
An M16 typically uses 7.5 W, despite the new dual-core technology. Adjusting the PoE class
via the camera soware also enables the use of PoE switches that cannot be operated on
all ports with PoE class 3 (up to max. 12.95 V). Please note that PoE Class 3 is recommended
for the M16, and that the M16-Thermal/M16-Thermal-TR always requires Class 3. Class 3
is also required if you connect MxBus or USB modules to the camera.

1.1.2 Hemispheric Sensor Module
Equipped with the hemispheric B016* sensor module (day or night), an entire room can be
ideally monitored using just one M16, which replaces the time-consuming and expensive
installation of several standard cameras. The overview image provided by a single M16,
which may be tailored in a number of ways according to specic user requirements, mini
mizes the system costs by reducing the wiring complexity, emergency power requirements,
and number of recording devices required.
High-Resolution Panorama
When several cameras are monitoring a single room, it is diicult to understand the room
layout due to the dierent viewing directions of each individual camera. This makes it hard
to comprehend the overall setting. The panorama function of the M16 with the B016 sensor
module delivers a widescreen, corrected image of a high-resolution 180° allround view.

Optimizing the Panorama Image
The factory setting of an M16 with an B016 sensor module is a high-resolution panorama
image, in which parts of the protective cover of the housing are still visible in the upper
right and le corners of the image. In order to hide the protective cover, oen all that is
required is the “panorama correction” feature that is integrated into the camera soware
or MxManagementCenter as standard. Tilted vertical lines (if the camera is mounted at

side eect of this is that the protective cover disappears from the image.
If this measure does not work in a specic situation (downward camera tilt not possible), the
protective cover can be removed from the image by zooming and, if necessary, by panning
downward using the virtual functions. The displayed image section or the panorama, as the
case may be, is reduced slightly but the image details are enlarged as a result of zooming.

desired. The example here shows an overview panorama of the entire room, as well as the
entrance, which would have otherwise no longer been visible in the panorama.
Surround View (Quad View)
The M16’s “Surround” display mode delivers four dierent directions “at a glance.” Each of
the four views features a soware-controlled pan/tilt/zoom function (virtual PTZ), allowing
it to be customized as necessary. In order to facilitate camera operation, the M16 can
store a total of 256 user-dened camera views, in addition to the preset standard views.

M16 Camera Manual: Product Overview
1.1.3 Advantages and New Features
The high-resolution M16 AllroundDual is the more powerful successor of the M15 and uses
image sensors with 6MP image size. Since the images of a M16 sensor with a maximum
size of 3072x2048 can be viewed live or in the recordings, the M16 is clearly superior to its
predecessor in terms of image quality and frame rate.
Conclusive Still Images
Thanks to the proprietary MxPEG video codec developed exclusively for MOBOTIX cameras,
the cameras oer 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 identied, 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 M16 oers the best
MOBOTIX image quality that is currently available thanks to the light sensitivity provided
by the 6-megapixel color sensor.
Black&WhiteImagesWithupto6Megapixels
The M16 is a MOBOTIX camera with a 6-megapixel night sensor that can deliver black and
white images with up to 3072x2048 pixels. As opposed to the night sensor of an M12 with
1.3 megapixels, the image size is almost ve times higher.
The new thermal sensor modules measure the thermal radiation of objects, delivering
clear thermal images even in absolute darkness. Together with the MxActivitySensor, they
can reliably detect motion in images at night – where only changes in position will trigger
a signal. Objects moving on the spot do not trigger a signal. The thermal sensor modules
also have an advantage during the day, as they can detect moving objects in shadows,
semi-darkness, smoke or behind bushes. The optional optical sensor module records the
same scene with more details, allowing to identify persons, for example.

) can do even more than to record ther-
M16 AllroundDual
MxActivitySensor
The M16 provides an activity-controlled image analysis sensor as standard for detecting
the movements of people and objects in a dened 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 dened 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.
An M16 typically uses 7.5 W, despite the new dual-core technology. Adjusting the PoE class
via the camera soware also enables the use of PoE switches that cannot be operated on
all ports with PoE class 3 (up to max. 12.95 V). Please note that PoE Class 3 is recommen
ded for the M16, and that the M16-Thermal/M16-Thermal-TR always requires Class 3. Class 3
is also required if you connect MxBus or USB modules to the camera.

M16 Camera Manual: Product Overview
1.1.4 Decentralized Video System
Usually, cameras only supply images, while processing and recording take place later on
a central PC using video management soware. This centralized structure has too many
limitations for high-resolution video systems since it requires high network bandwidth
and the PC processing power is insuicient 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 eective.
As part of the decentralized
MOBOTIX concept, every camera
features a high-speedprocessor,
and, if necessary, digital long-term ashmemory (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 soware 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 M16 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.
M16 models utilize MxActivitySensor to detect the movement of people and objects and
their direction of movement as standard. The MxActivitySensor delivers reliable results
particularly in outdoor area applications, in contrast to video motion detection that con
tinues to be available and that registers even the smallest of image changes in dened
video motion windows. In the dened monitored area (full image or section), 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, heavy rain or trees swaying in the wind.
The M16 is also equipped with a shock detector as standard. For example, if the camera
receives a blow to the housing, it can simultaneously take a video of the oender, 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, even when they are subject to strong vibrations.

All MOBOTIX cameras are backlight-proof and are not adversely aected by the glare
from direct sunlight. They deliver meaningful, detailed images at all times as the camera
soware supports easy programming of independent exposure windows, making them
ideal for rooms with large glass fronts.
MOBOTIX In the event of an alarm, M16 cameras can also record lip-synchronous audio.
The cameras therefore play an important role in analyzing and clarifying a situation. Thanks
M16 AllroundDual
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 MxBell with your iPhone or iPad on the road.
The decentralized MOBOTIX video solutions are superior to traditional systems in all major
aspects. They are also considerably cheaper to operate as they require
•
Fewer cameras due to the more accurate detail of panorama images with megapixel
technology
• Fewer recording devices because ten times the standard number of cameras can
be used to record high-resolution HDTV video with sound on one computer/server
simultaneously in the decentralized system
•
Lower network bandwidth because everything is processed in the camera itself and the
high-resolution images therefore do not have to be constantly transmitted for analysis

Designation of MOBOTIX Lenses
The designations of MOBOTIX lenses are derived from the actual focal length multiplied by 10. For example, the MOBOTIX Super Wide-Angle lens B036 has a nominal
focal length of 3.6 mm. Converted to 35 mm camera, this would be a lens with 20 mm
focal length (see following table). Converting the focal lengths to 35 mm camera as
a known format provides for better comparing the image formats and the angles of
view of the dierent lenses. Another benet is that you can easily set a 35 mm camera
(analog or digital) to the same focal length of the MOBOTIX lens to obtain the same
angle of view. This approach greatly facilitates lens selection.

Technical Specications
1.2.2 M16-Thermal(-TR) With Optional MX Sensor Module
This model variant has a permanently installed thermal image sensor and can optionally
take one more sensor module (see above). The thermal image sensor is available in the
focal lengths listed below.
A. Mixed operationB. Single thermal operation
The following combinations of thermal sensor modules are possible for an M16-Thermal:
A.
Combined operation (1 thermal sensor module, 1 optical sensor module): The advantages of an M16 with Thermal sensor module and simultaneous daylight sensor result
from combining both images: brilliant 6-megapixel images during the day and in
twilight hours and reliable motion detection at night.
B. Single thermal operation (1 Thermal sensor module): The M16-Thermal delivers
only a thermal image.

M16 Camera Manual: Installation
2 INSTALLATION
The MOBOTIX M16 has been designed to be mounted on walls and ceilings. It can also be
installed on a mounting pole using the appropriate MOBOTIX accessories. The dierent
installation options are described in Section 2.3, «Mounting the Camera with Wall Mount» and
the following sections, while the drilling templates are available on www.mobotix.com >
Download Center > Documentation > Manuals.
2.1 Preparing the Installation
Before installing the MOBOTIX M16, the following questions should be answered:
1. Where will the camera be installed?
2. What other additional installation options are available?
3. How is the camera connected to the network and how is the power supplied?
4. How are the connections furnished from the building?
5. What cabling considerations are necessary?
The following sections in this chapter should answer all these questions. If anything is
unclear or you have more questions, please contact your MOBOTIX partner or MOBOTIX
Support directly. Contact information can be found at www.mobotix.com under Support.
2.1.1 InstallationOptions:Wall,Ceiling,Pole
Like all MOBOTIX cameras, the M16isextremelyexible in terms of how and where it
can be installed. An M16 can be used for both indoor and outdoor applications: in xed or
mobile applications – constantly changing locations or in/on vehicles of any kind. The M16
cameras have been certied weatherproof according to IP66 IP66 and can work reliably
in temperature ranges from –40 to 60 °C/–40 to 140 °F (cold start min. temp. –30 °C/–22 °F)
without heating or fan. A practical weather and sun protective cover is integrated into
the extremely resistant housing, which is made of UV-resistant special-purpose plastic.
52
Thanks to the camera’s unique VarioFlex mounting system (supplied as standard), the M16
camera can be installed quickly and easily on any wall, ceiling or even a round pole of up
to 18 cm in diameter (when combined with the stainless steel pole mount). The VarioFlex
mounting system allows a wide range in both the horizontal and vertical directions (rotating
and tilting) to enable precise adjustment to suit the area to be monitored. The mount also tsdirectlyoverin-wallsockets(withouttheframe)andMOBOTIXinterfaceboxes to
fully conceal the cable, thus improving the security of the installation.

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

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

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

the room to be monitored almost entirely by an M16 installed on the ceiling in one of the
corners. Using the PTZ soware, you can easily zoom in on image details in either the live
image or the recording. Thecameracanbeturnedortilted360°horizontallyand107°

Installing on a Pole (With Accessories)
Installation on round poles is frequently used for cameras that are intended for mobile
outdoor use (for example, surveillance of construction sites). For this purpose, MOBOTIX
recommends using the pole mount, which is available for the M16 as an accessory and
is almost indestructible (MX-MH-SecureFlex-ESWS). This pole mount is made from rustproof stainless steel with a white coating and is used in combination with the pre-installed
VarioFlex mount supplied as standard with the wall mount.
Poles with a diameter between 60 and 180 mm can be used. It is particularly advisable to
use cavity (metal) poles, in which the network cable is not visible and can be protected
from attacks. For more detailed information on the installation process, see Section 2.2,
«First Installation Steps». The drilling templates are available on www.mobotix.com >
Download Center > Documentation > Manuals.
2.1.2 Installing the Camera with Hemispheric Sensor Modules
The camera must be correctly positioned on the wall or ceiling in order to be able to use the
high-resolution hemispheric image display options of the M16 with B016 sensor module(s).
The entire hemisphere of the room in front of the camera is then eectively monitored.
High-Resolution Panorama Images
The M16 with B016 sensor module(s) is primarily suited to providing an excellent over
view in the form of a high-resolution panorama image, and less suitable for more exact
details. For active operation, the camera should be installed at an (out of direct reach)
height ranging from 2.5 m to 3.5 m. People, for example, may be identied very well at
distances of up to 1.5 m and with suicient detail at up to 3 m. Objects can be detected
even at distances of 5 m and more from the camera. During installation, ensure that the
camera is focused on the most important areas of the room as directly as possible in order
to optimize image quality and provide the desired level of detail recognition. This applies
above all to wall and ceiling installations that must be carried out at greater heights for
technical or other reasons (over doors, windows, etc.). The lens capabilities can be only
fully utilized by tilting the camera appropriately.

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

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

M16 Camera Manual: Installation
The M16 supports Powerover-Ethernet according
to IEEE 802.3af (PoE)
All M16 models are supplied with power using the PoE standard. The PoE Adapter Set
(MX-NPA-PoE-Set) may be used for smaller installations, or the weatherproof PoE injector
MX-NPA-Box (MX-OPT-NPA1-EXT) may be used in outdoor scenarios. For larger installati
ons, we recommend investing in a PoE-capable supply device available on the market.
Section 2.7 contains more information on the possible combinations of connecting the
M16 and power supply options.

The maximum length of the network cable for power supply over an Ethernet cable is
100 m/110 yd. The Mx2wire+ media converter set (available as an accessory) can be used
to extend the range of an Ethernet connection up to 500 m in length (maximum transmis
sion speed for a 500 m/550 yd cable: 45 Mbps and 12 W for the PoE device).
Note
The MOBOTIX M16 can be powered by switches or routers that support the PoE (Powerover-Ethernet) standard and conform to IEEE 802.3af.
Advantages of PoE power supply:
• Centralized backup power supply available via network
• Lower, more cost-eective power consumption
• Camera does not require an additional network connection

UPS
Using Uninterruptible Power Supplies (UPS)
You should install an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) in order to maintain a continuous
power supply even when utility power fails. These devices also provide full protection against
electrical surges and voltage uctuations, enhancing the reliability of the system as a whole.
When using a more powerful 19” rack-mounted UPS, you can also protect all other network
components (for example, switches, routers, PoE switches, etc.).
Since MOBOTIX cameras do not require any heating, even during winter, the average power
consumption of less than 5 watts is ver y low. This, in turn, means that you can centralize the
UPS-protected power supply by injecting power into the Ethernet cables (max. 100 m). This
kind of protected power supply can be used either with MOBOTIX PoE products (MX-NPAPoE + Universal Power Supply) or with PoE-compliant switches according to IEEE 802.3af.
Once the camera position, the position of the cable outlets and the method of power supply
have been decided upon, the cabling can be installed. Before installing the MOBOTIX M16,
you should make sure that the network connections have been thorougly tested so that
the proper functioning of the camera is guaranteed.
UPS units not only protect
the camera against power
failures, they also protect
all other connected network
devices against damage
from voltage peaks and lows
If the camera is to be installed outdoors, you should also install the MOBOTIX
MX-Overvoltage-Protection-Box (optional accessory). This interface box not only provides
overvoltage protection of up to 4 kV for MOBOTIX IP cameras
and weatherproof connection of the cameras to a network patch cable (

For additional information on the MX-Overvoltage-Protection-Box, open the
When installing the wiring inside or outside of buildings, make sure you always adhere
to the relevant regulations on wiring, re prevention, and protection against lightning.
MOBOTIX cameras are protected against the eects 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 certied specialists
accustomed to installing network devices and having proper respect for the applicable
regulations regarding lightning protection and re prevention as well as the current tech
nology for preventing damages from electrical surges.
Wiring
When installing the wiring, make sure to follow these guidelines:
• Data cable: Make sure you only use double-shielded Cat 5
or higher cable (S/STP) for Ethernet connections.
•
Outdoors: Installing the camera outdoors requires special
precautions and measures regarding the cables as well as
lightning and surge protection.
• Wire lengths: The cable segments must not exceed the
maximum allowed cable lengths in order to ensure pro
per 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 countryspecic regulations (for example, VDE in Germany, IEEE in the U.S.) in eect on wiring and
re prevention at the site of the installation.
Lightning and Surge Protection
In order to avoid damage to MOBOTIX cameras from overvoltages, you should always
install the MX-Overvoltage-Protection-Box. This competitively priced and weatherproof
network connector provides reliable protection against overvoltages of up to 4 kV; the box
is easily installed in the Outdoor Wall Mount, for example (see Section 1.4.7, «MX-OvervoltageProtection-Box»).
The MOBOTIX M16 cameras are delivered with a pre-assembled housing as M16 Body
camera. The sensor modules (consisting of lens carrier, image sensor and lens) need be
ordered separately. Upon delivery, the sensor module sockets in the front element are
tted with transport plugs. When operating the camera, it needs to be tted either with
sensor or blind modules. This closes o the front element and protects the camera against
foreign objects, insects and water.
Caution
Only replace the sensor modules when the camera is disconnected from the power
supply. Make sure the power supply to the camera is disconnected before installing
or replacing sensor modules.
When installing the sensor modules, make sure that the sensor module cables and
the patch cable are not damaged or bent sharply.
Using One or Two Sensor Modules
With an M16, you have the choice of using the camera with one or two sensor modules.
Since the modules are easily exchanged, it is also possible to add a module or to use dif
ferent ones later on.
Caution
Note that you must not operate the M16 with installed transport plugs, since the
camera is not protected against the environments:

Procedure
1. Convert to a ceiling mount: Simply remove the lock screw on the central joint and
exchange the wall mount for the supplied ceiling mount. Before fastening the ceiling
mount to the central joint (using the screw of the wall mount), the patch cable is
guided through one of the four openings.
2.
Install and prepare the network connection: Guide
the pre-installed camera patch cable through one
of the four openings in the ceiling mount (this will
be connected later with the network cable using a
suitable adapter, for example, in an existing cavity
socket).
No screw anchors are required for wooden surfaces
Additional sealing
possible, for example,
with shrink tubing

3. Drill the holes:Use the drilling template for the camera (available on www.mobotix.com > Download Center > Documentation > Manuals).
Drill the holes for the supplied screw anchors. Screw
anchors do not have to be tted if the surface is
made of wood. To secure the mount, the supplied
stainless steel hex head screws will be screwed
directly into the surface later on. You should start
with a 2-mm drill bit, for example (drilling depth just
slightly less than screw length), in order to facilitate
screwing in wood.
4. Attach ceiling seal: Place the white rubber seal
with the groove on the edge of the ceiling mount.
5. Connect the cable: Connect camera patch cable
via connector. Make sure that the cable is not bent
or squashed.

6. Mount the camera: Place the ceiling mount over
the drill holes, use the four screws each with a
washer and tighten them using the appropriate
screwdriver. Do not overtighten the screws as this
may damage the plastic mount. Check that the
screws are securely in place and place the white
caps on the screw heads. Then aim the camera as
described in Section 3.3.

2.5 Mounting the Camera with Pole Mount (Accessories)
If you are intending to install the camera on a pole, you should consider using the MOBOTIX
M16 pole mount. This mount is made of 3-mm powder-coated stainless steel (white) and
has been designed specically for outdoor use. The supplied stainless steel straps allow
the mount to be attached to poles with diameters between 60 mm and 180 mm. By design,
the pole mount does not allow the use of an in-wall socket. We recommend using an
MX-Patch-Box that can be easily inserted into the cavity socket of the wall mount (VarioFlex
mount) in order to ensure a weatherproof connection of the network devices. For more
information on the MX-Patch-Box, please visit www.mobotix.com and go to the
Selector > Accessories > Interface Boxes
Product
section.
80
The camera is always installed together with the VarioFlex
mount, which is shipped as a wall mount, and can also
be installed directly on the pole mount. The best camera
position for the selected sensor module must be found
before installing the camera (see Section 2.2, «First
Installation Steps»). You can ne-tune its position once
the camera has been installed on the wall.

Network and Power Connection
2.7 Network and Power Connection
• Power is supplied to the camera via the camera Ethernet connection (patch or installation cable). We recommend using a MOBOTIX PoE adapter or another similar
high-quality PoE product to loop-in the power supply:
– One camera: with the PoE adapter (MX-NPA-PoE or MX-NPA-Box)
– Multiple cameras: with PoE products conforming to IEEE 802.3af (PoE switch)
• The maximumlength 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 net
work interface of the camera.
•
We highly recommend using uninterruptible power supplies (UPS) to provide backup
power.
• If you are using IEEE 802.3af or IEEE 802.3at (PoE+) Power-over-Ethernet network
components to supply power to MOBOTIX cameras, make sure, if possible, that these
components do not have a fan. Since the power consumption of MOBOTIX cameras is
very low compared to other products, the reliability of the entire system is increased,
thus extending the life of these components.

3.1 ManualandAutomaticOperation–Overview
Download the free-of-charge
MxManagementCenter soware at www.mobotix.com
MOBOTIX cameras do not require any extra soware. Thus, you can set up and operate the
MOBOTIX camera using a JavaScript-enabled browser on all common operating systems
(such as Windows, Linux, Macintosh, etc.). As an alternative, you can also use the MOBOTIX
application MxManagementCenter. Follow these steps to set up the camera:
1. Connect the camera to the network.
Power is supplied directly via the Ethernet cable (see Section 2.7, «Network and
Power Connection»)
2.
Establish a connection to the camera and adjust the network settings, if required.
By factory default, MOBOTIX cameras are booting as DHCP client with an additional
xed IP address in the 10.x.x.x range (e.g., 10.16.0.128). Local computer net
works usually have IP addresses in the 172 or 192 ranges. Depending on whether a
DHCP server is present on the local network (e.g., a DSL router) or if the network has
been set up to use xed IP addresses, there are several possibilities for establishing
a connection to the camera and to change its network parameters:
• Network with DHCP server
– Using a browser:
If you know the IP address that the DHCP server assigned to the camera, simply
enter that address in the browser address bar to directly connect to the camera
(see Section 3.2.1, «Manually Setting Up the Network Parameters in a Browser»).
– Using MxManagementCenter:
With MxManagementCenter, you can show and integrate the camera without
having to know its current IP address (see Section 3.2.3, «First Images and
Network Parameter Conguration in MxMC»).
• Network with xed IP addresses
In order to access the camera, it must have an IP address within the range of
the local network. To set the camera’s network parameters, you can use one of
these methods:
– Manually using a browser:
First, you need to change the network parameters of your computer (see
Section 3.2.1, «Manually Setting Up the Network Parameters in a Browser»
and following …).

3.2 First Images and the Most Important Settings
Once the MOBOTIX camera has been connected to the network, you need to set up the
camera’s network interface accordingly. This step involves setting up and checking the
network 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 (see Section 3.2.1)
• Automatic setup using MxManagementCenter (see Section 3.2.3)
For the following examples, we will use a camera with the factory address 10.16.0.99.
Replace this IP address with the IP address of your camera. You will nd the IP address
of your camera on a small sticker on the camera. Make sure that the IP addresses used
in the following examples are not already being used by other devices in the network.
Hint:
Briey pressing the L key will prompt the camera to announce its current IP
address on the camera speaker.
3.2.1 Manually Setting Up the Network Parameters in a Browser
You need a computer that is using a 10.x.x.x IP address in order to manually set up the
network parameters of the MOBOTIX camera. The computer’s network parameters usually
have to be changed for this purpose.
