Electrical surges: MOBOTIX cameras are protected against the eects of small elec
trical 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 to ensure proper
protection against lightning, since this also protects the building and the whole
network infrastructure.

exceed 1W!
Never touch the lens: Due to the high performance of the D25, the area of the image
sensor can get quite hot, especially when the ambient temperature is also high.
This does not aect the proper functioning of the camera in any way. For this reason,
the product must not be installed within the reach of persons without the dome.
Power o before opening the camera: Make sure the power supply is disconnected
before opening the camera (i.e., for installing or replacing sensor modules and SD
cards).
Network security: MOBOTIX products include all of the necessary configuration
options for operation in Ethernet networks in compliance with data protection laws.

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 dierent 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.

All D25 cameras come with an easily interchangeable lens and a robust 1.5mm 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 3watts, 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 oer so much more – state-of-the-art, network-based
video security technology that increases operating eciency 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 eciently
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.
The maximum resolution of the color and black&white image sensors is 6megapixels.
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
25Lux. Such conditions are typical at a parking lot at night that is illuminated by regular
lights (approx. 10 to 25Lux). Or in a building after hours, in which the emergency lights
are burning (approx. 5Lux). 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!
One Camera For 4 Gas Pumps - Long-Term Recording Without Peripheral Devices
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
6megapixel 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 D25 equipped
with an B041 lens, the
(slightly) distorted
image can be corrected by software
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 dierently 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).
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 imageStored Full ImageAnalysis 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.
-
Integrated vPTZ functions allow the complete
stored full image to
be "analyzed" at a
later point in time (in
MxManagementCenter)
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 16GB MicroSD card, for example,
allows the camera to store more than a quarter million event images
in VGA format (640x480). 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 3watts 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.
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 1280x 960) in order to provide sucient camera processing power
for other tasks.
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 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 oers 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.
MxActivitySensor
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).
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 4.5watts), 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. 12.95V).
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 insucient 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-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 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 especially 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
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.

Recording
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
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
The modern, network-based video security technology oers numerous advantages to
use energy eciently. 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-eciently 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 oer new functionalities.
Remote updates via the internet and the fact that the cameras are maintenance-free
reduce trips by car, and, thereby, the negative eect on the environment.
1.2.1 Lens Options, Hardware and Software Features
MOBOTIX currently oers five standard lenses with M14 thread from the B036 Super Wide
Angle lens with 23mm focal length to the B237 Telephoto lens with 135mm focal length
(equivalent to 35mm 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.
The name of the MOBOTIX lenses reflects the actual focal length of the lenses as well
as the focal length converted to 35mm camera format. For example, the MOBOTIX
B041 Super Wide-Angle lens has a nominal focal length of 4,1mm. Converted to a
35mm camera, this would be a lens with 22mm 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 dierent 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.

The MX-NPA-Box is equipped with the PatchBox’s weatherproof and extremely com
pact exterior housing (protection class IP65,
–30 to +60 °C/–22 to +140 °F), which means it
can also be installed in the space of the Outdoor
Wall Mount. Interfaces of the MX-NPA-Box: Camera
via patch cable, Ethernet via LSA+ and external
power supply via terminal connector (12 to 57VDC
possible).
The MX-GPS-Box primarily serves as a highprecision time source for systems without an
Internet connection. In addition, it can provide
triggering based on GPS events (reaching or
moving away from a specified position; exceed
ing or not reaching a specified speed). This
interface box can be attached to all MOBOTIX
cameras with an MxBus interface.
The MX-GPS-Box is equipped with the same compact housing as the other interface
boxes (protection class IP65, –30 to +60 °C/–22 to +140 °F). This interface box should not
be installed inside of other wall mounts, but on the exterior of the building with a large
section of open sky above it. This ensures the best possible reception from GPS satellites
and thereby the highest possible accuracy of the received GPS data. The maximum length
of the MxBus wiring (0.8mm diameter wires) is 50m/55yd.
1.4.17 MX-232-IO-Box
Order no.: MX-OPT-RS1-EXT
This box provides the signal inputs and outputs
as well as the RS232 (serial) interface. It replaces
the connections that were handled on the older
camera models via a D-Sub 15-HD connector. The MX-232-IO-Box (protection class IP65,
–30 to +60 °C/–22 to +140 °F) can be attached
to all MOBOTIX cameras with an MxBus or USB
interface. The maximum length of the MxBus
wiring (0.8mm diameter wires) is 50m/55yd.
If the MiniUSB connector is used, the maximum
cable length is 5m/16ft.
The device, which is suitable both for on-wall and
in-wall installations, contains a powerful speaker,
microphone, infrared motion sensor, ambient temperature sensor, two input and two output contacts
and two illuminated keys. It is ideal for door communication, elevators, access control systems, etc.
The ExtIO is suitable for use as direct connection
to the S15 via a MiniUSB cable (max. 5m), which
can be ordered separately, or as a network con
nection via the PoE switch.
1.4.19 Mx2wire+ Media Converter
Order no.: MX-2wirePlus-Set-PW
The Mx2wire+ system allows an Ethernet network
with PoE to be set up via two-wire cables, which
saves users from having to lay several hundred
meters of Ethernet cable. For example, an existing
two-wire cable of an analog video camera can be
reused to connect a high-resolution and modern
IP network camera. Mx2wire+ is delivered in the
standard wall outlet frame in dierent designs;
however, it can also be used with the available
on-wall socket that is included.

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 D25 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-D25-Vandal)
The Vandalism Set provides added protection for D25 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.).

The D25 supports
the Power over
Ethernet standard
IEEE 802.3af (PoE)
D25 Camera Manual: Installation
2.1.4 Network Connection and Power Supply, UPS
Power Over Ethernet (PoE Conforming To IEEE 802.3af)
All D25 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 D25 available on the market (PoE
switch/router).
Network Power Adapter
MX-NPA-PoE
The Network Power
Adapter replaces the
crossover cable when
directly connecting to a computer
LAN or POWERPC or POWER
CAMERA
The maximum length of the network cable for power supply over an Ethernet cable is
100m. The Mx2wire+ media converter set (available as an accessory) can be used to
extend the range of an Ethernet connection up to 500m in length (maximum transmission
speed for a 500-m cable: 45Mbps and 12W for the PoE device).
Note
The MOBOTIX D25 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.
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 5watts is very low. This, in turn, means that you can
centralize the UPS-protected power supply by injecting power into the Ethernet cables
(max. 100m). 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.
2.1.5 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
D25, you should make sure that the network connections have been properly tested so
that the proper functioning of the camera is guaranteed.
53/132
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 4kV for MOBOTIX IP cameras
and weatherproof connection of the cameras to a network patch cable (
-LSA
a network installation cable (
For additional information on the MX-Overvoltage-Protection-Box, open the
2.1.6 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 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 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
Connection»
• 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.
).
Section 2.9, «Network and Power
-
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 eect on wiring and
fire prevention at the site of the installation.
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 4kV; the box
is easily installed in the Outdoor Wall Mount, for example (see
Protection-Box»
More information is available at an institution such as the International Electrotechnical
Commission (IEC, www.iec.ch) or at a manufacturer of protection devices against light
ning and electrical surges, such as Dehn (www.dehn.de).
As an allround camera, the D25 is primarily designed for installation on walls or ceilings.
In general, direct installation of the camera without any accessories is always possible.
However, to ensure a flush finish with the surface, you should first install a flush-mounted
wall outlet (space for the connection cable).
If you choose to mount the camera directly to a wall without the MOBOTIX-recommended
wall mount, you should position the camera in the center of the room to guarantee
maximum coverage.
Please first check that all the components supplied with the camera are present in the
original packaging. You will need these additional tools for installing:
• Any additional materials for fastening the camera to a ceiling/wall, if necessary – 4 Torx screws incl. screw anchors and washers are included in the original packaging.
• Screwdriver
• Power drill for screw anchor holes needed for ceiling/wall mounting
• MOBOTIX drilling templates (at the end of this manual)
• Scissors to cut out the template
• Pen to mark the drill holes
•
Materials and any tools needed to connect the pre-installed MOBOTIX network cable
in the camera with the on-site network cable.
2. Drill the holes: Please use the enclosed screws and screw anchors whenever
possible. It is essential that you use the supplied drilling template to ensure the
precise alignment of holes (fold-out at the end of this manual).
3. Hollow out background surface for the cable and connector or insert the cable
behind the suspended ceiling or cable duct.
4. Connect the pre-installed network cable of the camera to the installation cable
(adapter not included in delivery).
5. Attach the camera to the ceiling or wall (see sections below).
6. Aim and adjust the lens (see
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.
Section 3.3.1
).
Caution
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 15cm 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.
Install the flush-mounted socket: The pre-installed cable at tached to the cam era
2.
must be connected with the on-site network cable. For installation without accessorie s, 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: D rill the holes for the supplied screw anchors (see drilling template).

5. Attach the camera: Use the (included) screws to ax the mounting ring and the
camera at the designated position.
6. The outer shell is required at a later stage in the installation and is attached only
when the dome has been removed and placed back after a lens adjustment.
On-Wall Sets available in 0° and 10° inclinations allow the D25 to be installed quickly and
easily on the wall or ceiling of a room. When using the set outdoors (IP65), ensure that
the screw holes on the rear of the camera housing are sealed with the included foam
rubber washers. It is not possible to install the On-Wall Set directly above a surface- or
flush-mounted socket.
The 10° On-Wall Set is the right choice if you want to mount the D25 on a wall with the
lens pointing vertically downward (90° or more). If the 10° On-Wall Set is not used, then
the angle of the lens may not exceed 80° for design-related reasons.
If the discreet appearance of the D25 is of particular importance, the In-Ceiling Set is ideal
for mounting the camera on ceilings or drywalls.
The network connection and drill holes must be prepared correctly before installing the
On-Wall Set (both indoors and outdoors):
• Network connection: You can use any one of the four openings in the On-Wall Set
to guide the cabling into the camera. The network cable must be fed through the
opening without a connector. An additional connector to connect to the camera
cable is required.
• Preparing the drill holes: Use the supplied drilling template for the D25 On-Wall Set
(fold-out at the end of this manual) to mark the exact position for drilling the anchor
holes with regard to the camera position.
Caution
When using the On-Wall Set outdoors, ensure that the screw holes on the rear of the
camera housing are sealed with the foam rubber washers included in delivery (IP65).
Use the fold-out template included at the end of the printed manual (valid for both
0° and 10° On-Wall Sets).
Make sure that the drilling template is not scaled or adjusted to the paper size when
printing the PDF file (enlarged or reduced).
The maximum torque for all screws is 1 to 1.2 Nm.
Required Parts
Please first check that all components supplied with the On-Wall Set are present in the
original packaging. The following additional items are required for installation:
• Suitable materials for ceiling/wall installation: 4 screws incl. screw anchors and washers (e.g. from the original camera packaging)
• Screwdriver
• Power drill for screw anchor holes needed for ceiling/wall mounting
• MOBOTIX drilling templates (at the end of this manual)
• Scissors to cut out the template
• Pen to mark the drill holes
• Materials and tools needed to connect the pre-installed MOBOTIX network cable in
the camera with the on-site network cable
1. Attach washers: Prior to installation, stick a black foam
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.
63/132
3. Mount the On-Wall Set: Mount the O n-Wall Set (with
out the ca mera) at the inte nded position using the Torx
screws (included with D25 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
tighte n the nut. The net work cable is now screwed into
the On-Wall Set, weatherproof. All unused openings
must be sealed with the included sealant plugs. The
cable pa ssing into the housing must always be installed
using the supplied three-part fittings.

it is seated firmly within the On-Wall Mount. The tapered
guides at the back of the D25 housing fit exactly into the
openings of the On-Wall Mount. Attach the white outer
shell with the supplied Allen screws (without rubber seal)
once the lens has been adjusted.
The In-Ceiling Set oers the most stylish installation option for the D25. 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 D25 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 diculty and only a 15 cm diameter
hole must be cut in the ceiling or ceiling component.

Mount the reinforced dome of the Vandalism Set. Tighten
it in a clockwise direction using a soft cotton cloth. If
necessary, clean the dome with a cotton cloth before
installing it.
The Wall Mount allows you to easily mount D25 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, WiFi, batteries, etc.).
Before mounting the MOBOTIX D25 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 D25 (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 D25 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.
Please first check that all the components supplied with the Wall Mount Set are present
in the original packaging. The following additional items are required for installation:
• Power drill for screw anchor holes
• Screwdriver
• MOBOTIX drilling templates (at the end of this manual)
• Scissors to cut out the template
• Pen to mark hole positions
• Materials and tools needed to connect the pre-installed MOBOTIX network cable
in the camera with the on-site network cable.
1. Remove the camera mounting ring: Separate the black
mounting ring from the camera housing. This ring is not
required when mounting the camera to the Wall Mount. If
the D25 was not in its original packaging, then it may be
necessary to remove the outer shell with the four Allen
screws beforehand.
Separate the bot tom plate from the Wall Mount: The
2.
bottom plate is used to hold the camera and is only
attached and screwed into place during a later step.
Pass the camera cable up through the bot tom of the
3.
bottom plate: Ensure the orientation is correct. The
spring clips should be on the underside of the bottom
plate.
77/132
4. Snap the camera into place on the bottom plate:
Firmly push the cam era into the Wall M ount. The plastic
spring clips will snap into place when the trapezoidal
elements on the rear of the camera housing exactly
match up with the corresponding openings on the
Wall Mount.
5. Mount the Wall Mount (without camera): Stick the black wall sealing to the back
of the Wall Mount (remove the adhesive foil first, the surface must be clean and
free of grease). Pass the network cable through the large square opening and
into the Wall Mount. Use the included screws to install the Wall Mount (without
the camera) at the intended position. Pass the network cable through the large
square opening on back side of the Wall Mount.
6. Connect the cable: Prepare the on-site network cable
for connection with the camera patch cable using a
standard connector. Excess cable can be stored easily
within the Wall Mount.
7. Install the bottom plate with the camera in the Wall Mount: Connect the cam era patch cable to the network
cable. Then mount the bottom plate with the camera
in the slots from below and fix it in place on the Wall
Mount us ing the 4 Allen screws (All en wrench incl uded).
The 3 mm thick stainless steel Corner and Pole Mount is extremely robust and rust-proof.
It is used (exclusively) in conjunction with the Wall Mount in situations where you want to
mount a D25 to a pole or wall corner. The Wall Mount required for complete installation
must be ordered separately.
The mounting pole should have a diameter of between 60 and 180 mm. Attaching the
camera to the corner of a wall not only makes sense from an aesthetic perspective, but
also allows you to monitor an area that is not specifically covered by the camera without
incurring major building modification costs. In such cases, only the lens of the camera
has to be repositioned.
79/132
By design, the Corner and Pole Mount does not allow the use of a flush-mounted socket.
Required Parts
Please first check that all the components supplied with the Corner and Pole Mount Set
are present in the original packaging.
The Following Additional Tools Are Required For Installation As A Pole Mount:
• Screwdriver
• Materials and tools needed to connect the pre-installed MOBOTIX network cable in
the camera with the on-site network cable
Use the supplied stainless steel straps to ax the Corner and Pole Mount to a pole.
• Guide the supplied stainless steel straps through the
openings in the Corner and Pole Mount as shown in
the diagram. Make sure that you are using the slots of
the mount that best fit for the thickness of the pole. The
stainless steel straps allow attaching the mount to poles
with diameters between 60 and 180mm.
81/132
• Guide the on-site network cable from behind through
one of the large round holes of the Corner and Pole
Mount. In order to properly protect the cabling, it is best
to pass the cabling from the inside of the pole through
the Corner and Pole Mount directly into the camera
(concealed cabling). Note: The cable length from the
pole should be at least 80cm!
• Tighten the stainless steel straps on the Pole Mount
with a screwdriver. If necessary, the ends of the straps
can be cut o.
Use the supplied screw anchors, screws and washers to ax the Corner and Pole Mount
to a building corner.
• Mark the four screw anchor holes on the corner of the
building, ensuring that the arrows on the mount point
upwards. Drill the holes with a 10 mm wall drill.
Pass the on-site network cable through one of the large
•
round holes at the back of the Corner and Pole Mount,
then through one of the 16mm diameter holes on the
front of the mount. In order to properly protect the
cabling, you should let the cabling run from the inside
of the building through the Corner and Pole Mount
directly into the camera (concealed cabling). Note: The
cable length from the building corner should be at
least 80cm!
• Place the included wall anchors in the drilled holes
and screw the Corner and Pole Mount into place on
the corner of the building using the Torx screws and
washers. Use the supplied drilling template (fold-out
at the end of this manual) to mark the exact positions
for the drill holes.
2.7.4 Mounting the Wall Mount to the Corner and Pole Mount
•
Feed the network cables through the appropriate hole at the back of the Outdoor Wall Mount. The wall sealing on the Wall Mount must be in place already.
Use the 6 x 20mm Allen screws, Ø6mm washers and
•
M6 nuts included with the Corner and Pole Mount and
attach the Wall Mount to the Corner and Pole Mount.
• Continue with the remaining work steps as described

• Power may only be supplied to the camera via its Ethernet connector. A MOBOTIX
Power Adapter or similar high-quality PoE product is recommended to provide the
power supply via the network cable:
– one camera: with the Network Power Adapter (MX-NPA-PoE)
– multiple cameras: with quality PoE products conforming to IEEE 802.3af
• The maximum length of the network cable for power supply over an Ethernet cable
is 100m.
• Make sure that you only use switches or routers that support the 10/100 Mbps Ethernet interface of the camera. Check for LED activity on the corresponding port of
the switch or router. When deploying several cameras, read the notes in
«Operating Multiple Cameras»
• It is highly recommend to use uninterruptible power supplies (UPS) to provide back
up power.
• If you are using IEEE 802.3af 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.

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 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
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
fixed IP address in the 10.x.x.x range (e.g., 10.16.0.128). Local computer networks
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 fixed 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
in the Browser»
– Using MxManagementCenter:
With MxManagementCenter, you can show and integrate the camera without
having to know its current IP address (see
Network Parameter Configuration in MxMC»
• Network with fixed 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:
– Manuelly 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»

IP address is not part of the local network. The application allows reconfigur
ing the network parameters accordingly (see
Network Parameter Configuration in MxMC»
3. Configure the camera.
Using the web-based user interface or MxManagementCenter.
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 has an active DHCP server or 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
