D25 Camera Manual

FOREWORD

Dear MOBOTIX customer,

Congratulations on your decision to purchase an extraordinarily powerful and compact

network camera “Made in Germany”! The D25 Dome is a complete decentralized

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 weath

erproof 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 D25 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 six-megapixel sensor technology with increased light sen
sitivity not only generates more brilliant images with more details, it also delivers color
images of higher quality under lowlight conditions.

Another plus– the improved light sensitivity of the 6MP 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.

D25 Overview

A Master of Adaptability

All D25 cameras 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
MxManagementCenter free of charge and with an unlimited user and camera license. If
required, a D25 camera can even be upgraded to function as a powerful intercom system
by adding the MOBOTIX ExtIO module.

Robust and Elegant

Five high-performance lenses are currently available for the D25 in the compact M14
housing. Due to their low power consumption of only 3watts, D25 cameras can operate
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 D25 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.

6 Megapixel Image Sensors (6MP)

MOBOTIX cameras possess high-resolution image sensors with 6 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 6MP 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.

6MP Image Format: 3 Times More Detail Than Full HD

The 6MP sensor has a resolution of 2592x1944 pixels on both day and night sensors. This
means that the full image information is available in the live image and in the recordings.

D25 Camera Manual: Product Overview

Low Light Conditions– No Problem

The maximum resolution of the color and black&white image sensors is 6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
6MP 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 D25 camera equipped with a 90° 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. D25 cameras feature direct recording to integrated MicroSD
cards or external USB drives. As a result, these cameras can be used in standalone opera
tion with zero network load!

D25 Overview

Universal Application from the Vacation Home to the Airport

MOBOTIX D25 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.

13/132

The Right Lens for Every Application

You can change the lens in the D25 camera models on site whenever necessary. Each
camera has a factory-aligned and quality-tested lens, which makes on-site camera focus­ing unnecessary in most cases. The D25 cameras are available for delivery with a lens of
your choosing or no lens at all.

The image area captured by the D25 varies depending on the selected lens. With a Super
Wide Angle lens (B041 with 90°), for example, almost an entire room can be recorded
from just one corner. With an B237 Telephoto lens, a D25 camera with a high-resolution

6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!

D25 Camera Manual: Product Overview

Virtual PTZ (vPTZ) – No Motor Required

The D25 can zoom in on detail as well. These vPTZ functions are a standard feature in the
integrated D25 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, MxManagementCenter). Virtual zoom, pan and tilt using MxManagementCenter
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).

D25 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 D25. 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.

15/132

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 D25 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) or

MxManagmentCenter can be used to examine the recorded sequences.

Live image Stored Full Image Analysis in the stored full image

The image distortion caused by the B036/103°
and B041/90° Wide Angle lenses 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 distor
tion in the recording can also be corrected
at a later time.

stored full image to

MicroSD card prein­stalled in the camera

D25 Camera Manual: Product Overview

Internal DVR

The D25 camera 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 or MxManagementCenter. 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 D25 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. Since the cameras neither fog up nor require heating, power can be supplied
all year round via the Ethernet cabling using standard PoE products.

D25 Camera Manual: Product Overview

1.1.2 Advantages and New Features

The high-resolution D25 Dome is a universally deployable, highly innovative and easily
concealable camera system. A powerful successor to the D24M, the D25 features six­megapixel image sensors. This makes the D25 clearly superior to the previous model in
terms of image quality and frame rate.

Smooth HiRes Video Streams

The modified hardware of the D25 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 D25 oers the best
MOBOTIX image quality that is currently available thanks to the light sensitivity provided
by the six-megapixel color sensor that is many times over than that of the previously used
color sensors and the new MxLEO exposure control.

More Details When Zooming

The maximum zoom factor of the D25 is 1.41 times higher than that of the S14 due to the
use of six-megapixel technology. This means that the degree of detail provided by the
camera has improved by 41 percent. As a result, an D25 can now be installed even further
away than before from the objects and areas to be monitored.

Black&White Image Sensor with 6 Megapixels

You can now order the D25 with a six-megapixel night sensor that can deliver black and
white images with up to 6MP resolution. This results in larger images than those delivered
by a 1.3-megapixel sensor with a perceptibly higher degree of details.

The D25 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).

D25 Overview

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 D25 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).

D25 Camera Manual: Product Overview

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 D25 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 D25 is 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 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 D25 cameras can also record lip-synchronous audio.
The cameras therefore play an important role in analyzing and clarifying a situation. Thanks
to the speaker and microphone of an attached ExtIO, 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.

D25 Overview

•

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.

1.2.1 Lens Options, Hardware and Software Features

MOBOTIX currently oers five standard lenses with M14 thread from the B036 Super Wide
Angle lens with 23mm focal length to the B237 Telephoto lens with 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.

• B036 Super Wide Angle with 103° angle of view (horizontal)

• B041 Super Wide Angle with 90° angle of view (horizontal)

• B061 Wide Angle with 60° angle of view (horizontal)

• B079 Wide Angle with 45° angle of view (horizontal)

• B119 Telephoto with 31° angle of view (horizontal)

• B237 Telephoto with 15° angle of view (horizontal)

The B036 Super Wide Angle lens with 103° angle of view 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 name of the MOBOTIX lenses reflects the actual focal length of the lenses as well
as the focal length converted to 35mm camera format. For example, the MOBOTIX
B041 Super Wide-Angle lens has a nominal focal length of 4,1mm. Converted to a
35mm camera, this would be a lens with 22mm focal length.

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 dierent lenses. Another
benefit 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.
