1 INTRODUCTION

The M22M cameras are powerful yet compact MOBOTIX net­work cameras, that are capable of creating high-resolution live
video streams with high image rates. When showing VGA video

(640x480), the camera can deliver up to 30 fps. Even Megapixel
video (1280x960) will still generate up to 10fps. The camera trans-

mits lip-synchronous audio, both in the browser (ActiveX plug-in) and when using

McControlCenter.

Similar to previous MOBOTIX cameras, M22M cameras are available as SECURE,

IT, WEB and BASIC models, with WEB and BASIC models just missing the microphone.

The M22M can be fitted with one of the five M14 high-performance lenses or with CS
mount lenses (model M22M-Sec-CSVario).

Like all other MOBOTIX cameras, M22M models are more than "just a camera"; the
integrated software features include a multitude of functions, such as video motion
detection, long-term recording, alarm messaging and video IP telephony. Unlike
in camera systems from other manufacturers, buying and installing additional soft-

ware on the computer is thus unnecessary. In­stead of using a web browser, you can also
download the free MxControlCenter for Win­dows from www.mobotix.com, which allows
displaying multiple cameras on one monitor.
Moreover, MxControlCenter can also process in­coming alarms from the camera and allows for
comfortably searching and evaluating the alarm
video clips (including audio).

Because of the low power consumption of only
3Watts, the MOBOTIX M22M cameras feature the
highest operating temperature range available
from -30 to +60°C (-20 to +140°F). Since
MOBOTIX cameras neither fog up nor require hea-

ting, power can be supplied via the network
cabling using standard PoE products. M22M models are absolutely dust-proof and
resistant against water jets (IP65). All models come with a wall mount that covers
wall outlets and conceals the cabling.

Using the MX Connector with USB socket, you can
directly connect the MOBOTIX Cam-IO expansion
box, which simplifies installing the camera and ex­pands on these possibilities. All external devices,
sensors and the Ethernet cabling are connected di­rectly to the expansion box. Likewise, the MOBOTIX

Cam-IO installation box connects directly to the

mains and supplies power to the camera, without
requiring any other type of power supply.

M22M Pole Mount

If you would like to mount the MOBOTIX M22M to a
pole, you should consider using the MOBOTIX Pole
Mount, which is used in combination with the stan­dard SecureFlex mount. The supplied stainless steel
straps allow fixing the mount to poles with diame­ters between 60 and 180mm (2.4 to 7.1in).

Lenses, sensors

You can choose between five different lenses for the
MOBOTIX M22M (M14 thread). IT and Secure mo­dels can be ordered either with a daylight image
sensor (color) or a night image sensor (black and
white).

The M22M-Sec-CSVario model is delivered with a
CS mount and a compact L24-L54 1/2" lens.

1.3 MOBOTIX M22M Concept

High-resolution live video with up to 30 frames/s at 640x480

The second generation of cameras from MOBOTIX delivers smooth live video display
in VGA format with synchronous live audio, yet it keeps the network load to a mini­mum (approx. 2Mbps)*. Live video display now matches the performance of analog
video systems. When recording, MOBOTIX systems easily outperform analog sy­stems, since MOBOTIX cameras store the high live image resolution and frame rate
without compromising image quality. MOBOTIX technology thus allows simultane-

ous recording of video from 30 cameras in continuous recording mode on one
standard PC at 30fps each, including audio.

Low bandwidth requirements

MOBOTIX' patent pending MxPEG streaming format allows fast live video with audio*
at extremely low network loads (1 to 2Mbps). Since the MOBOTIX camera itself
detects movements in the image (and not the computer), video is only transmitted if
movements occur, and when the video and audio data are being stored.

Voice over IP*

Moreover, MxPEG provides for lip-synchronized audio and two-way communicati­on between the camera and your computer. Room surveillance with audio is possible
using Internet Explorer or MxControlCenter. Alarm notification on your mobile or via
Internet telephony is just as easy as event-controlled voice messages directly from
the camera.

IP telephony and video SIP (with accessories)*

All telephone features can be used via Internet telephony thanks to the integrated SIP
client. The SIP client allows remote-controlling the camera using the touchtone keys
and also makes the alarm calls of the camera. Video SIP allows establishing audio/
video connections to the camera using Windows Messenger or similar applications
(e.g. CounterPath X-Lite, Eyebeam).

IP Telephony!

* Web and Basic models
do not have a microphone

Long-term storage included

MOBOTIX cameras (IT and Secure models) feature an integrated long-term storage
system for Windows, Linux and Mac OS X computers. Every camera manages its own
ring buffer storage space on the shared folder. Thanks to this decentralized technol­ogy, 30 live cameras can store images on a regular Pentium 4-class computer with
30fps each, including audio (depending on the operating system).

Event storage on the integrated CF card (optional)

For most applications, the MOBOTIX-installed CF card provides more than enough
storage space, since this flash card (2GB and higher) stores the audio/video data
permanently, even after power failures. If long-term storage on a file server has
been set up, the CF card adds yet another layer of security against loss of data, as
the flash card can easily bridge longer network outages.

30 live cameras using MxControlCenter

Instead of using a web browser, you can also download the free

MxControlCenter for Windows from www.mobotix.com,

which allows displaying up to 30 MOBOTIX cameras on one
monitor (Linux and Mac OSX versions are currently being devel
oped). In addition, MxControlCenter can process incoming
alarms from the cameras and allows comfortably searching and
evaluating the alarm video clips (including audio*). 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&drop the cameras; done.

Event and time-controlled

Just like event-controlled recording upon detecting movements in the image, the ca­mera can also record when the volume picked up by the microphone exceeds a set
trigger value (audio-capable models only*). Using scheduled recording that takes
into consideration vacation times and holidays, time tasks can start or stop video re­cording, uploading of images to a web site or sending of e-mails with video/audio*
clips.

Remote alerting

In case of an alarm, MOBOTIX cameras automatically pop up windows or activate
other functions at a remote security control center. The cameras can use network/wi­reless, GSM/GPRS/UMTS (3G) or Internet connections for this purpose (a GSM/GPRS/
UMTS modem can be connected to the serial interface of MOBOTIX M12/D12 models).

Day & Night

The Night versions of the M22M-IT/Secure models deliver crisp and clear images of
moving objects even at night since they use a special black and white image sensor.
Depending on the lighting conditions, you can use infrared light to enhance the
lighting, since the B/W sensor system is IR-sensitive (in contrast to the human eye).

Integrated Power over Ethernet

Power is supplied as Power-over Ethernet via the network cabling us-

ing the MOBOTIX power supply (in combination with the Network Power

Adapter), a MOBOTIX Network Power Rack (8 to 20 cameras) or a Net-

work Power Box (4 cameras), or by using a PoE-compatible switch (according to PoE

standard IEEE 802.3af).

Since the camera's plastic housing insulates well and is anti-fogging, no additional
heating or fans are necessary. This is why MOBOTIX, unlike other manufacturer's
cameras, have low power requirements (3Watts) and PoE can be used every day of
the year indoors as well as outdoors for supplying power.

Weatherproof

MOBOTIX M22M cameras are certified according to IP65 (absolutely dustproof and
resistant against water jets) and are designed for outdoor as well as indoor usage. As
the cameras do not have any moving parts, they are extremely robust and resistant
against heat or cold (-30 to +60°C; -20 to +140°F).

Easy Installation Using the Cam-IO Installation Box

The Cam-IO Installation box greatly facilitates setting up a security system as this
module carries all pins of the MX Interface Connector and simplifies connecting
external devices and sensors. Besides supplying power to the camera, the installa­tion box can power lamps with up to
500W/230V (max. 4A) and has heavy­duty connectors for the remaining pins of
the D Sub 15 HD socket (e.g. Line In/Out or
signal inputs of the camera).

Logos, Animated or Freestyle

The logo generator of MOBOTIX cameras allows scheduled display of different ban­ners and graphics (or files loaded from any URL) into the current camera images.
MOBOTIX cameras are the only network IP cameras supporting animated and trans­parent graphics.

1.4 Feature Overview of the MOBOTIX M22M

The MOBOTIX M22M includes the following main features (some features are model­dependent):

• Live images of up to 1280x 960 pixels resolution via network and WiFi with
up to 30fps (at 640x 480 VGA resolution), also adapted for PDAs.

• Digital zoom with three stages (1x, 2x, 4x) and integrated panning (from 2x:
clicking in the browser image will move the zoomed image section in the corre­sponding direction).

• True software scaling using the proven and continuously improved MOBO-
TIX algorithms, which deliver brilliant images even with smaller image formats
(e.g. 320 x 240/CIF).

• Audio video recording with three different recording modes: Event recording
with audio, continuous recording with variable frame rate and audio as well as
event-controlled Snapshot recording of JPEG images.

• Telephony functions (SIP) for Phone Call-In and remote-controlling from touch­tone phones as well as voice phone calls from the camera for alarm messag­ing purposes.

• SIP Video (Internet telephony) with support for e.g. Windows Messenger,
X–Lite/Eyebeam and video phones.

• File server tests can monitor a file server and use one or more of the defined
messaging options for error notification.

• Camera tests where several cameras monitor one another, with failure noti-
fication using the defined messaging options.

• Playback of recorded images/video sequences with audio in the integrated
video management system.

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

• Event notification by e-mail, SMS (using a provider), voice notification (Phone
Call-Out), sounds and by visual means (e.g. red frame in Live image) using two
separate messaging paths.

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

• Logo generator for displaying logos in the camera images with dialogs for
managing image files and defining image and logo profiles for controlling logo
display.

• Logos can have transparent areas and can be displayed partially transpa­rent at the same time (creating a watermark effect), banner rotation and ani­mations are also possible.

• Time Tables for handling customized days, e.g. for holidays and vacations.
The time tables are used to control the camera's arming, image recording, ac­tion, messaging, logo, obscure image and other features.

• Remote signaling for master/slave cameras, with the master camera con-
trolling the arming status of the slave cameras. This allows arming, for
example, of all slave cameras by using a key switch that is connected to the
master camera.

• Transfer profiles for improved handling of FTP, E-Mail, phone calls, network
transmissions and messages.

• Speaker phone for announcements via the camera speaker, listening into a
room and intercom mode using Internet telephony (SIP).

• Phone Call-In to remotely control the camera using a touchtone phone via
Internet telephony (retrieve camera information, establish Internet connection,
announcement of retrieved IP address, intercom feature, etc.).

• MxPEG video compression using MxControlCenter for Windows (Linux and
Mac OSX versions are currently being developed). In addition, the ActiveX
plug-in for Windows Internet Explorer brings all advantages of MxPEG (inclu­ding the audio stream to and from the camera) to the browser-based user in­terface.

• Routing allows using other network connections besides the standard route.

• DynDNS client for accessing the camera using a symbolic name (e.g.
mymobotixcam.dyndns.org) although the provider is assigning a new
dynamic IP address every time the camera connects to the Internet.

• Undeletable Backup operating system automatically takes over when reboo­ting the camera (e.g. when updating the system software has failed due to a
power failure), allowing you to restart the update process.

• Enhanced startup options for the camera (obtain IP address via DHCP, an-
nouncement of IP address and other network data, reset to factory default set­tings, etc.).

1.5 Lenses for the MOBOTIX M22M

MOBOTIX currently offers five different lenses: from Super Wide-Angle L22 with
22mm focal length up to the tele lens L135 with 135mm focal length (equiv. to
35mm camera). Since MOBOTIX cameras are backlight-proof, they do not require a
mechanical auto iris. Without the iris as a mechanical component, all MOBOTIX glass
lenses are extremely robust and maintenance-free. You can choose between the fol­lowing lenses for the MOBOTIX M22M (M14 thread):

• L22 Super Wide-Angle 90° image angle (horizontally)

• L32 Wide angle 60° image angle (horizontally)

• L43 Wide angle 45° image angle (horizontally)

• L65 Tele 31° image angle (horizontally)

• L135 Tele 15° image angle (horizontally)

The L22 Super Wide-Angle 90° lens has very little distortion and excellent image
quality, even when using the 4x digital zoom of the M22M. If a camera with a Super
Wide-Angle lens has been mounted in the corner of a room, the complete room is vi­sible on the image.

M22M Camera Manual Part 1

Focal lengths of
MOBOTIX lenses are
always given as compared
to a 35mm camera!

To determine the lens you
need, simply use a camera
with zoom lens to find a
matching MOBOTIX lens

Note

The 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. This lens is thus called

L22

.

Since the image sensors in digital cameras have different sizes, con­verting to 35mm camera as a known format provides for better com­paring the image formats and the fields of vision of the different len­ses. Another benefit is that you can easily set a 35mm camera (ana­log or digital) to the same focal length (Lxx) to obtain the same field of
vision. This approach greatly facilitates lens selection.

1.6 Important Notes

1.6.1 MOBOTIX M22M—Weatherproof with IP65

The MOBOTIX M22M is IP65-certified (absolutely dustproof, resistant against water
jets) and can be used from -30 to +60°C (-22 to +140°F).

1.6.2 Password for the Administration Menu

The administration area of the camera (Admin Menu button) is protected by a user
name and password:

• User name is admin

• Password is meinsm

Enter the user name and password exactly as shown above. Note that both entries
are case-sensitive.

When accessing the administration menu for the first time, the Quick Installation
wizard will help you set the most important parameters that are relevant for your
requirements. For security reasons, it is highly recommended to change the

adminstrator password after the camera has been configured properly.

1.6.3 Irreversibly Deactivating the Microphone

Deactivating a camera's microphone may become necessary in order to protect
the privacy of people at a workplace or for other reasons. You can permanently
and irreversibly deactivate the microphone in the Admin Menu> Loudspeaker

and Microphone dialog.

1.6.4 Starting the Camera Using the Factory IP Address

If the camera's IP address is not known, you can start the camera with its factory IP
address. Section 3.6,

Starting the Camera Using the Factory IP Address

, describes

this procedure in more detail.

18/76

M22M Camera Manual Part 1

Administration menu:
User: admin
Password: meinsm

The microphone can be
irreversibly deactivated!

CAUTION: Make sure that you store information on user names
and passwords in a secure place. If you loose the administrator
password and cannot access the Admin menu, the password can
only be reset at the factory. This service is subject to a service
charge!

CAUTION: This deactivation is permanent and cannot be reversed
even by MOBOTIX engineers. Deactivating the microphone will
also deactivate all features that use the camera's microphone.

1.6.5 Resetting the Camera to Factory Defaults

All settings of the MOBOTIX camera can be reset to the factory default settings. This
makes sense if you have, for example, obtained a camera without any information
or you would like to reset all settings after testing the camera. In order to perform
this procedure, you need to have access to the administration area of the camera
(admins group). Open Admin Menu> Reset … to reset the camera to factory de­faults.

Note: All defined users will be deleted and the admin password will be reset to

the factory default when you reset the camera using Admin Menu> Reset …

Proceed according to section 3.6,

Starting the Camera Using the Factory IP

Address

, if you would like to maintain existing users.

1.6.6 Activating Event Control for Security Applications

In its default configuration, the camera's event control and video motion detection
features are not enabled. In order to activate event control as a whole, open
Setup Menu> General Event Settings and activate the Arming switch or click on
the Arm& Record softbutton of the browser interface. The video motion detection
window is visible again (dotted frame in the center of the live image) and the cam­era stores images as soon as the video motion window detects movements.

1.6.7 Deactivating Text and Logo Options

As the camera arming has been deactivated in its default configuration (see prece
ding section), the MOBOTIX camera only displays the Text WWW.MOBOTIX.COM,
the time stamp and the MOBOTIX logo at the top of the image. Once the camera

arming has been activated (see section1.6.6), the text at the bottom of the live
image (event, action and messaging symbols) will also appear.

You can deactivate the status text at the bottom and the text at the top left corner of
the live image by setting Text Display in the Setup Menu> Text & Display Settings
dialog to

Off

. Setting Text Display to

Date & Time

will only display the time stamp in

the live image.

In order to hide the logo in the live image, open Admin Menu> Logo Profiles and
set Logo Display to

Disable

.

1.6.8 Deactivating the Automatic Daily Reboot of the Camera

In its default configuration, the MOBOTIX camera automatically reboots every
morning at 3:36am. The reason for this is that external influences (e.g. radiation in
high locations) can lead to camera malfunctions. The automatic reboot will refresh
the camera's memory and will ensure proper operation without requiring any inter­action on the part of the user.

Open Admin Menu> Time Tasks and deactivate or delete the

Reboot camera

task. This will prevent the camera from rebooting automatically.

1.6.10 Rubber Plugs for Connectors

Always make sure that you use the correct plugs for
the cables entering the camera: NET for the Ethernet
cable, USB for the USB cable. Also make sure that
the plugs are properly seated!

1.6.11 Cleaning Instructions – Cleaning the Lens

If the lens is dirty from the installation process, clean
the lens using a lint-free cotton cloth.

1.6.12 Safety Notes for Operating MOBOTIX Cameras

Electrical surges can be induced by other electrical appliances, improper wiring,
but also from the outside (e.g. lightning strikes to phone or power lines).

MOBOTIX cameras are protected against small electrical surges by numerous
measures. These measures, however, cannot prevent the camera from being
damaged when stronger electrical surges occur.

Special care should be taken when installing the camera outside of buildings for

protection against lightning, since this also protects the building and the whole

network infrastructure.

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

Section 2.10,

Wiring, Fire Prevention, Lightning and Surge Protection

, contains more

information on these topics.

2 MOUNTING THE CAMERA

2.1 Preparing the Installation

2.1.1 Network Connection and Power Supply, UPS

Power over Ethernet (MxPoE)

Power is supplied to all M22M models via the network cabling (MxPoE, Power-

over-Ethernet). For smaller installations, the universal power supply (

MX-SNT-E/U/

GB/J/AUS01-30-RJ

) with the MOBOTIX Network Power Adapter

MX-NPA-3-RJ

is
sufficient. Larger installations would benefit from one or more MOBOTIX Network
Power Racks/Boxes that are available for supplying power to 4, 8 or 20 cameras
(

MX-NPR-4

, -8 or -20).

See section 2.11,

Camera Accessories

, for more information on these and other

items or open shop.mobotix.com (Products> Accessories section).

Advantages of MOBOTIX PoE Products

• Zero maintenance and reliable without fans.

• Higher reliability of the system as a whole, since standard
switches without PoE can be used (lower risk of failure).

• Easy installation on DIN rails using supplied adapter (

MX-NPR-4

)

or in 19" racks (

MX-NPR-8/20

).

Note

If you are using Power over Ethernet (IEEE 802.3af) network compo-

nents for supplying power to the MOBOTIX M22M, make sure that the-

se 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 and the life cycle of the PoE com­ponents is expanded.

Power-over-Ethernet (PoE according to IEEE 802.3af)

Besides MOBOTIX MxPoE, the MOBOTIX M22M also supports the Power-over-
Ethernet standard IEEE 802.3af. You can hence use switches or routers that sup-

port the PoE (Power-over-Ethernet) standard IEEE 802.3af.

Section 3.3,

Connecting the Camera to the Network and the Power Supply

, contains
more information on the possible combinations of connecting the M22M and
power supply options.

Using 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 USP, you can also protect all other
network components (e.g. switches, routers, PoE switches, etc.).

Since MOBOTIX cameras do not require any heating even in the wintertime, the po­wer consumption of 3W is very low. This in turn means that you can centralize the
USP-protected power supply by injecting power into the network cables (max.
100m/300ft). This kind of protected power supply can be used either with MO­BOTIX MxPoE products (MX-NPA-3-RJ + external power supply or MX-NPR-4/8/20)
or with PoE-compliant switches according to IEEE 802.3af.

2.1.2 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 should be installed. Before
mounting the MOBOTIX M22M, you should make sure that the network connec­tions have been properly tested, so that the proper functioning of the camera is
guaranteed.
