M12 Camera Manual Part 1

1 INTRODUCTION

The M12 camera range represents the next model of the se­cond generation of MOBOTIX network cameras. Now more po­werful than ever, the new models are capable of creating high-re­solution live video streams with high frame 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 transmits realtime sound

from the microphone, even in the browser.

Similar to previous MOBOTIX cameras, M12 cameras are available as SECURE, IT,

WEB and BASIC models with differing software features. The WEB and BASIC mo-

dels do not have a microphone. The M12 can be fitted with three M14 high-perfor­mance lenses; additional lenses will be available in the future.

Everything integrated!

Like all other MOBOTIX cameras, M12 models are more than "just a camera"; the
integrated software features (Secure/IT models) include a multitude of functions,
such as video motion detection, long-term recording, alarm messaging and vi-
deo IP telephony. In camparison to camera systems from other manufacturers,
buying and installing additional software on the computer is thus unnecessary.
Instead of using a web browser, you can also download the free MxControlCenter

M12 Camera Manual Part 1

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).

7/92

MxControlCenter

Because of the low power consumption of only 3Watts, the MOBOTIX M12 came­ras feature the highest operating temperature range in the market from -30 to +

60°C (-20 to 140°F). Since MOBOTIX cameras neither fog up nor require heating,

power can be supplied using standard PoE products. All models come with a wall
mount that covers wall outlets and perfectly conceals the cabling.

Using the new MX Interface Connector with D Sub 15 HD socket, you can directly
connect external lamps, devices, sensors, microphones and audio amplifiers. The

MOBOTIX Cam-IO expansion box simplifies installing the camera and expands on

these possibilities: All ex­ternal devices, sensors and
the Ethernet cabling are
connected directly to the
installation box. Likewise,
the MOBOTIX Cam-IO in­stallation box hooks up to
the mains and supplies
power to the camera, wi­thout requiring any other
type of power supply.

M12 Camera Manual Part 1

1.3 The Concept Behind the MOBOTIX M12

High-Resolution Live Video (640x480) with up to 30 Frames/s

The second generation of cameras from MOBOTIX now 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 match the performance of
analog video systems. When recording, MOBOTIX systems easily outperform ana­log systems, since MOBOTIX cameras store the same resolution and quality with
the same frame rates as in the live display. MOBOTIX technology thus allows si-

multaneously recording the video from 30 cameras in continuous recording
mode on one standard PC at 30fps each, including the audio channel of the

cameras.

Low Bandwidth Requirements

MOBOTIX' patent pending MxPEG streaming format allows fast live video with au­dio at extremely low network load (1 to 2Mbps). Since the MOBOTIX camera itself
detects movements in the image, video is only transmitted if movements occur,
and when the video and audio data are stored.

IP Telephony!

Voice over IP and ISDN

Moreover, MxPEG provides for 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 via In­ternet (SIP) or ISDN telephony is just as easy as event-controlled voice messages di­rectly from the camera.

IP Telephony and Video SIP

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 places the alarm calls of the camera. Video SIP establishes audio/vi­deo connections to the camera using Windows Messenger or similar applications
(e.g. Counterpath x-Lite/eyebeam).

Long-Term Storage Included

MOBOTIX cameras have an integrated long-term storage system for Linux,
Windows and Mac OS X computers. Every camera manages its own storage space
as a ring buffer on the shared folder. Thanks to this decentralized approach, 30 live
cameras can store images on a regular Pentium 4-class computer with 30 fps

each, including audio (also depends on the operating system).

Event Storage on SD Card

An SD card can be inserted into the integrated slot to increase the internal memory
of MOBOTIX M12 cameras (SD cards will be supported after a software update,
(available in future versions). A 2GB card can permanently store up to 65,000
images in CIF format, 40,000 images in VGA format or 13,000 Megapixel images,

© MOBOTIX AG • Security-Vision-Systems • Made in Germany

www.mobotix.com • [e-mail]

M12 Camera Manual Part 1

which are not lost in the event of a power failure. If long-term storage on a file ser­ver has been set up, the SD card adds yet another layer of security against loss of
data, as the SD card can easily bridge longer network outages.

30 Live Cameras Using MxControlCenter

The free MxControlCenter Windows client for viewing up to 30 MOBOTIX cameras
with audio now features an integrated layout editor for quick assembly of building
plans-using full drag&drop support for positioning the live camera images. Load a
floor plan as background image, drag&drop the cameras; done.

11/92

Download MxControlCen­ter free of charge from
www.mobotix.com

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. Using scheduled recording, time tasks can start or stop video re­cording, uploading of images to a web site or sending of emails with video/audio
clips. Special programs control vacation times and holidays.

Remote Alert Popup

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.

12/92

M12 Camera Manual Part 1

Day & Night

MOBOTIX Night models with two image sensors (color and B/W) deliver brilliant co­lor images during the day and crisp B/W images at night. Cameras switch lenses
automatically, depending on the illumination.

Integrated Power over Ethernet

No heating required ­PoE is no problem even
in the wintertime!

Covers RJ45 wall outlets
and conceals the cabling

Power is supplied via the network cables using either MOBOTIX Network Power
Adapters with power supplies or the Network Power Racks (4/8/20 cameras per

rack) or devices that supply PoE according to IEEE 802.3af. Since the camera's
plastic housing insulates well and does not fog up, no additional heating or fans
are necessary. This is why MOBOTIX cameras have low power requirements
(3Watts) and can be operated every day of the year indoors as well as outdoors
and why PoE can be used for supplying power—unlike in other cameras.

Weatherproof

MOBOTIX M12 cameras are certified according to IP65 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°C to +60°C; -20°F to +
140°F).

Secure and Flexible Installation Using the SecureFlex Mount

The SecureFlex wall/ceiling mount (standard delivery) provides
easy mounting of the MOBOTIX M12 to a wall or ceiling and
also allows positioning the camera into virtually any direction,
while the concealed cabling enhances the visual impression
of the installation. The mount completely covers wall outlets
and allows using a defined network end point, thus facilitating
the installation.

Expanded Connections—MX Interface Connector D Sub 15 HD

Depending on your requirements, you can connect additional sensors via the D
Sub 15 HD socket, allowing you to expand the range of sensors already in the ca-

mera. Likewise, you can use the signal outputs of the camera to switch external
devices or to trigger external devices, such as alarm systems. This socket also pro­vides a Line In pin, a Line Out pin, power supply for USB devices, USB master data
signals and a pin for connecting a backup power supply, which can also be used
by solar panels.

M12 Camera Manual Part 1

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
heavy-duty connectors for the remain-ing 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 integrating different banners and
graphics (including files loaded from any URL) into the current camera
images—with optional scheduler control. MOBOTIX cameras are the only network

IP cameras supporting animated and transparent graphics.

1.6 MOBOTIX M12 Lens Options

MOBOTIX currently offers five different lenses with M14 thread from Super Wide
Angle (L22) with 22mm to Te le (L135) with 135mm focal length (equiv. to 35mm

camera). Since MOBOTIX cameras are backlight-proof, these lenses do not require
an auto iris. Without the iris as a mechanical component, these glass lenses are
extremely robust and maintenance-free.

You can choose between the following lenses
for the MOBOTIX M12: L22 Super Wide Angle

90°, L43 wide-angle and L135 Tele. The L22
Super Wide-Angle 90° has very little distorti-

on, even when using the 4x digital zoom of the
M12. Mounting a camera with the Super Wide
Angle lens in the corner of a room will allow
you to see the complete room.

1.7 Hard- and Software Differences of the MOBOTIX M10/M12

To cut a long story short – nothing changes with the basic functionality or the
looks of the camera. Users, who have worked with M10 models before will not

have any problems adjusting to a MOBOTIX M12.

Changing to the three times faster Intel "Bullverde" PXA270 processor with

520MHz frequency has boosted image processing considerably, providing no-

tably higher frame rates (up to 30fps in VGA, up to 10fps in MEGA resolution).
The new hardware also brings new features, such as SIP video (Internet telephony
with video) and new possibilities for extending the hardware (SD card, CF slots, MX
Interface Connector, USB master pins for MOBOTIX expansion modules, etc.).

The following table shows the most important differences in the hardware and

software:

1.8 Important Notes

1.8.1 MOBOTIX M12-Weatherproof to IP65

The MOBOTIX M12 is weatherproof according to IP65 (absolutely dustproof, resi­stant against water jets)! You can take additional measures for further improving
the weatherproofness if the camera is exposed to extreme weather conditions:

• Make sure that the SecureFlex mount is never mounted as shown in figure
(1)! This is even more important when you are mounting the camera on a
pan/tilt head.

• Make sure that the SecureFlex mount is always installed as shown in figure
(2)! Closely follow the notes and hints in section 2.11!

• The SecureFlex mount should be sealed off with additional silicone sealant
as shown in figure (3). Make sure that the drain holes at the bottom of the
mount remain open!

• Make sure the blue insect protection plug is firmly seated! Closely follow
the notes and hints in section 2.12.1!

Administration menu:
User: admin
Password: meinsm

• Seal off the SecureFlex mount against the wall using silicone sealant.

• Make sure that the cabling always enters the SecureFlex mount from the bot­tom!

• Only use genuine MOBOTIX cables since they prevent water from entering
the camera!

1.8.2 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.

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 not free!

M12 Camera Manual Part 1

1.8.3 Password for ISDN Dial-In

21/92

Dialing into the camera via ISDN is protected by a separate password. When set­ting up a dial-in connection from a computer, you need to provide this information:

• User name is linux

• Password is tux

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

1.8.4 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.

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.

1.8.5 Starting the Camera Using the Factory IP Address

If the camera's IP address is not known any more, 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.

ISDN Dial-in
User: linux
Password: tux

The microphone can be
irreversibly deactivated!

1.8.6 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: In contrast to the method described in section 3.6,

Using the Factory IP Address

, all users will be deleted (except the admin user)

Starting the Camera

when resetting the camera to factory defaults. Likewise, the admin user's pass-

word will be reset.

1.8.7 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 Se-

tup 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.

The configuration can also
be reset partially

M12 Camera Manual Part 1

1.8.8 Deactivating Text and Logo Options

As the camera arming has been deactivated in its default configuration (see prece­ding 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, the text at the bottom of the live image (event, action
and messaging symbols) will also appear.

If the camera is armed, 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 Me-

Off

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

1.8.9 Deactivating the Daily Reboot of the Camera

In its default configuration, the MOBOTIX camera will automatically reboot every
morning at 3:36 am. In very rare cases, 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.

1.8.13 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.

23/92

Section 2.4,
information on these topics.

1.8.14 Maximum Cable Lengths

According to UL regulations, the length of the cable to a MOBOTIX camera must
be limited to 140feet or less running outside of buildings. The installation must
comply with articles 725 and 800 of the National Electric Code.

1.8.15 Additional Information

M12 Camera Manual Part 1

2.3 Optional Accessories

Power supply (MX-SNT-E/U/GB/J/AUS01-30-RJ)

The MOBOTIX power supply is required if you do not
use a Network Power Box or Network Power Rack
(see below), or a PoE-compatible switch or router.

Network Power Adapter (MX-NPA-3-RJ)

The Network Power Adapter allows injecting the power supply for the MOBOTIX
camera into the network cable. It thus allows using a single cable for connecting to
the camera and for remotely supplying power (up to
100m/300ft). The Network Power Adapter is requi­red, if you are using the universal power supply and
the SecureFlex mount, and power is not supplied
using a PoE switch/router or a MOBOTIX Network
Power Box/Rack.

Intelligent and robust po­wer supply thanks to DIN
rail installation

Zero maintenance and
reliable as these devices
do not require fans

Network Power Box for up to 4 Cameras (MX-NPR-4)

The MX-NPR-4 allows supplying power to up to four
MOBOTIX cameras via the network cable. The
NPR-4 thus replaces four separate power supplies
and four Network Power Adapters. The Network
Power Box delivery includes a (detachable) clip at
the back, which simply clicks onto DIN rails.

Network Power Rack for 8/20 Cameras (MX-NPR-8/20)

The MX-NPR-8/MX-NPR-20 allow supplying power
to up to 8/20 MOBOTIX cameras, respectively, via
the network cable. These NPRs thus replace 8/20
separate power supplies and the same number of
Network Power Adapters; they are easily mounted
in 19" racks (2 rack units).

Advantages of the MOBOTIX PoE Products

• Zero maintenance and reliable as the systems do not require
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 (

SecureFlex pole mount (MX-MH-SecureFlex-ESWS)

If you are intending to mount the camera on a pole,
you should consider using the SecureFlex pole
mount, which is made of 3mm stainless steel
(white, powder coated) and which has been de­signed specifically for outdoor usage. The supplied
stainless steel straps allow attaching the mount to
poles with diameters between 60 and 180mm (2.4"
to 7.1").
