M24M Camera Manual: The MOBOTIX Concept

THE MOBOTIX CONCEPT

HiRes Video Innovations

The German company MOBOTIX AG is known as the leading pioneer in network camera

technology since its founding in 1999, and its decentralized concept has made high-

resolution video systems cost-ecient. Whether in embassies, airports, railway stations,

ports, gas stations, hotels, or on highways - over one hundred thousand MOBOTIX

video systems have been in operation on every continent for years.

Technology Leader Of Network Cameras

In a short time, MOBOTIX has gained the second place in Europe and the fourth place worldwide in terms of market share. MOBOTIX has been producing megapixel cameras exclusively for years and, in this area, ranks as the global market leader in high-resolution video systems with a market share of over 60%.

Why High-Resolution Systems?

The higher the resolution, the more accurate the detail in the image. With the old analog technology, a live image has no more than 0.4 megapixels, and a recorded image generally 0.1 megapixels (CIF). Yet, one MOBOTIX camera with 3.1 megapixels records around 30 times more detail. This means that greater image areas, including 360° panoramas, are possible, while still reducing the number of cameras, and thereby also the costs. For example, four lanes of a gas station may be recorded with a single MOBOTIX camera, instead of the four standard cameras normally necessary for such a task.

Disadvantages Of The Old Centralized Solution

Usually, cameras only supply images, while processing and recording take place later on a central PC using video management software. This traditional centralized structure has many limitations, since it requires highnetwork bandwidth and the PC processing power is insucient when using several cameras. An HDTV MPEG-4 ﬁlm already puts considerable strain on a PC, how can it be expected to process dozens of high-resolution live ized systems are therefore less suitable and more costly than high-resolution systems due to the high number of PCs required.

cameras?

Traditional central-

www.mobotix.com • sales@mobotix.com

The Decentralized MOBOTIX Concept

Unlike other systems, with the decentralized MOBOTIX concept a high-speed computer and, if requested, digital memory (MicroSD/SD card) is built into every camera for longterm recording. The PC now serves purely for viewing, not for analysis or recording. As a result, MOBOTIX cameras can record in response to an event, even without the PC being switched on, and digitally store the videos with sound.

The Benets

MOBOTIX video solutions therefore require signiﬁcantly:

• fewer cameras due to the more accurate detail of panoramic images with megapixel technology,

•

fewer PCs/DVRs, because around 40 cameras can store high-resolution videos with

sound eciently on a single PC, or no PC at all when recording in the camera using digital memory (USB, MicroSD/SD card),

• 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.

Robust And Low-Maintenance

MOBOTIX cameras have no mechanical motors for lenses or for movement. Without any moving parts, they are therefore so robust that maintenance is reduced to a minimum. The unique temperature range from -30°C to +60°C (-22°F to +140°F) is achieved without heating or a fan at approximately 4 watts. Since no PC hard drive is necessary for recording, there are no parts that wear out in the entire video system.

9/146

Software Included - For Life

There are no software or licensing costs with MOBOTIX because the software is always supplied with the camera for an unlimited number of cameras and users. The software package supplied with the camera also includes professional control room software similar to those used in soccer stadiums, for example. Updates are supplied free of charge on the website. The system price for a weatherproof camera, including lens, query software, and day-to-day recording on the MicroSD/SD card, is under 1,000 euro.

M24M Camera Manual: MOBOTIX Hemispheric Technology

MOBOTIX HEMISPHERIC TECHNOLOGY (M24M-SEC-D11)

Perfect Room Overview

An entire room can be eectively monitored with innovative MOBOTIX Hemispheric Technology.

For instance, one single hemispheric camera replaces the time-consuming and expen-

sive installation of several standard cameras. The ﬁrst of its kind in the world, this

camera is evidence of the MOBOTIX commitment to innovation as the global leader

in megapixel video security systems.

High-Resolution 180° Panorama

When several cameras are monitoring a single room, it is dicult to understand the

room layout in its single view. This makes it hard to comprehend the overall setting. The new panorama function of the M24M delivers a widescreen image of a high-resolution 180° allround view. High image quality is achieved through the use of a 3.1 megapixel sensor and the new hemispheric lens.

vPTZ control, also using a USB joystick

High-Resolution 180° Panorama

Virtual PTZ (vPTZ) - Without Motor

The M24M also zooms in on detail. The image of the Hemispheric camera can be continuously enlarged and any image section examined using a joystick, for example. Thus you have a mechanical PTZ-camera without maintenance or wear and tear. While zooming into a section in the live image, a full image can be stored in the recording for later analysis. No PTZ-camera in the world that operates with a motor can do that!

vPTZ

www.mobotix.com • sales@mobotix.com

One Camera, More Views

The surround function of the M24M (ceiling mounted) immediately replaces four conventional cameras and shows four dierent directions simultaneously in quad view on a monitor. Virtual PTZ is available for each of the four views. Together with the 180° panorama the M24M can deliver two more views simultaneously, making it possible to see the overview and to focus on two scenes at the same time (Display Mode “Panorama Focus“).

Panorama Focus: One Camera, Three Views

High-Resolution 180° Panorama

Virtual PTZ 1 Virtual PTZ 2

Highly User-Friendly

The full image from a hemispheric lens (Fisheye) is dicult to analyze. MOBOTIX solves this problem by perfectly straightening the uneven lines in the live image using the camera software. Since the image distortion correction of the hemispheric view and the generating of the panoramic view take place in the camera itself, no additional load is placed on the viewer PC, unlike a “standard” camera. Thus, displaying a large number of panoramic cameras simultaneously on a single PC is possible.

11/146

Panorama Focus: Original MOBOTIX image

Highly Ecient Image Transferring

While other camera systems always transfer the full images via the network for further analysis, a MOBOTIX camera sends only the relevant image sections. Therefore, a Q24M panorama image needs only about 1/6 of the original data volume or bandwidth. This means up to six times more MOBOTIX cameras can transfer images over a network compared to “standard” cameras.

Internal DVR With 32GB

The M24M stores high-resolution video with sound directly on the integrated Flash memory without using an external recording device or PC, therefore using no additional network load. Old recordings can be overwritten automatically or deleted after a predeﬁned period. The storage capacity is sucient for around 400,000 panorama images or 33 hours of ﬁlm (32 GB MicroSD).

M24M Camera Manual: Superior Storage Solution

SUPERIOR STORAGE SOLUTION

The Market Demands Better Image Quality

When it comes to future-proof video surveillance systems, it is not a matter of analog

or digital but whether it is high-resolution or not. It is important to note that only

HiRes video with decentralized network camera technology can be implemented

at a much lower cost than any other type of video surveillance system.

Central Storage As A Bottleneck

These days, video data is normally pre-processed and stored centrally on a PC or DVR

using video management software. Video and audio streams from all installed cameras are directed to this central device. This system is comparable to a highway at rush hour: the more cameras there are, the faster a data jam on the PC or DVR occurs. This means that despite HiRes cameras, the data is generally not stored in high-resolution format.

NON-MOBOTIX System

Motion detection and prealarm buer are in the PC

(bottleneck)

Storage

Central PC is a bottleneck and a risk for the total system

MOBOTIX Stores HiRes Cost Eciently

MOBOTIX solves the PC storage bottleneck problem using a unique and yet amazingly eective method - through the camera itself. High-resolution video with lip synchronized sound is saved either remotely over the network or locally on ﬂash memory devices (commercial SD or CF cards, USB memory).

www.mobotix.com • sales@mobotix.com

Flash memory is a sophisticated form of semiconductor memory without mechanical moving parts and represents the storage medium of the future thanks to its reliability, ease of use and low cost.

MOBOTIX System

Network

Software and storage integrated in MOBOTIX cameras

MOBOTIX Saves To Flash

• No PC/network is required for continuous operations and there is no network load

• USB ﬂash media can be connected directly to the camera (instead of internal SD/

MicroSD/CF card); no network is necessary

• Greater reliability (no hard drive)

• Ring buer: Old images can be overwritten automatically or automatically deleted

after a speciﬁed period of time

MOBOTIX Stores Data Reliably

The MOBOTIX Flash ﬁle system (MxFFS) prevents unauthorized persons from reading or transferring the internally stored data, even if the card is stolen.

13/146

MOBOTIX Only Saves What Is Necessary

The MOBOTIX system includes three important additional options that allow more data to be stored for a longer time:

•

Only the relevant image sections are stored instead of the entire image (for example, sky or ceiling is removed)

•

Video recording only begins when relevant events occur (such as movement in the image)

• Temporarily increased frame rate during continuous recording of events

By connecting external memory over the network (NAS), the system can be expanded without limitations, even while it is running.

MOBOTIX Data Storage

• Inside the camera - one MicroSD card is

enough to record all day long, making central data storage devices or PCs unnecessary

• In USB storage (connection via USB cable) data storage without mechanical moving parts or work load (greater protection against data theft)

• A le server (NAS) can store around ten times more data from MOBOTIX HiRes cameras than usual because they use a memoryorganization internally

M24M Camera Manual: Added Security Value

ADDED SECURITY VALUE

Robust, Low-Maintenance Technology

The real added value of MOBOTIX products is reﬂected in characteristics such as enhanced functionality, long life and robustness. In general, MOBOTIX cameras have no moving parts. This makes the cameras very resistant to wear and tear, and reduces both maintenance costs and power consumption.

Alarm Management And Forwarding

Integrated sensors enable MOBOTIX cameras

to recognize when an event has occurred. If

desired, the cameras will respond immediately

with an alarm sound and will establish

a direct video and audio connection to a

control room.

Absolute Data Security

The security barriers that are built into the camera are extremely secure. The camera images are only accessible to authorized persons and are encrypted via SSL when they are transferred over the network.

Notication Of Failure

MOBOTIX cameras will automatically report any impairment or failure. This ensures maximum reliability and readiness for use.

Subsequent Searches

Events rarely conﬁne themselves to just one spot. So even when you are looking at an enlarged detail in live mode, it is always the full image that is recorded. And in this full image, any section can always be enlarged later or whenever necessary. 

www.mobotix.com • sales@mobotix.com

Sound Increases The Chance Of Detection

In the event of an alarm, MOBOTIX cameras can turn on their built-in microphones and record lip-synchronous sound. They are therefore an even greater help in analyzing a situation and easing clariﬁcation. In addition, the video system can be used for bidirectional communication via a loudspeaker/microphone.

No Problems With Backlighting

MOBOTIX cameras are not adversely aected by the glare from direct sunlight. They deliver meaningful, detailed images all the time because the camera software supports easy programming of independent exposure windows to cope with speciﬁc situations. This makes them ideal for rooms with large glass fronts.

Anti-Vandalism Dome Cameras

In critical environments or for outdoor use, it is often best to choose the optional vandalism-protected MOBOTIX cameras. Their steel housing resists even the hardest attacks, and the cameras will deliver a perfect image of the attackers.

M24M Camera Manual: INTRODUCTION

1 INTRODUCTION

1.1 M24M Overview

The World's First HemisphericReady Allround Camera

With the M24M series, MOBOTIX oers extremely compact, versatile and cost-eective

allround cameras with an integrated video sensor, lip-synchronous audio transmission and

long-term internal storage on a MicroSD card (4GB card as standard). Since the M24M is equipped with the latest MOBOTIX technology platform, it is the ﬁrst HempisphericReady camera in the M series – capable of accepting the 11mm lens to give high-resolution

panoramic images.

MOBOTIX ExtIO (Function Extension)

High Frame Rates Of Up To 30fps

Like all other MOBOTIX cameras, the M24M models can generate live video streams with

high frame rates and up to 3.1 megapixels image resolution (QXGA with 2048x1536pixels).

Up to 30fps are generated at a megapixel resolution of 1280x960 pixels. Even at 3.1

megapixels, the camera will still generate up to 20fps!

A Master Of Adaptability

The M24M models are accompanied by an extensive range of easily replaceable and

interchangeable lenses and a robust lens protector made of scratchproof special-purpose

plastic or glass. Application-optimized options for installation on walls, ceilings and poles, for supplying power, or expanding the functions of the camera are also available. Furthermore,

MOBOTIX customers can take advantage of MxEasy or the professional control center software MxControlCenter free of charge and with an unlimited user and camera license.

If required, an M24M camera can even be upgraded to function as a powerful intercom system by adding the MOBOTIX ExtIO module.

www.mobotix.com • sales@mobotix.com

M24M Overview

Robust And Practically Maintenance Free

Thanks to their low power consumption of 3watts and the total absence of mechanical

moving parts, M24M cameras feature the highest operating temperature range (-30°C to +60°C, or -22°F to 140°F). Since MOBOTIX cameras neither fog up nor require heating, power can be supplied via the network cabling according to the PoE standard IEEE802.3af. M24M IT and Secure models

are completely dust-proof and resistant to water jets (IP66). The

M24M Wall and Ceiling Mount supplied as standard makes the camera ideally suited for outdoor use and for installation over ﬂush-mounted sockets so that the cabling remains

perfectly concealed.

High-Resolution Sees More And Costs Less

One M24M camera equipped with a hemispheric or standard wide angle lens is usually

all that is required to monitor either an entire room or the four lanes of a gas station. The

high degree of image detail not only reduces the number of required cameras, but also minimizes system costs by reducing the wiring complexity, emergency power requirements

and number of recording devices required. All M24M cameras feature direct recording to

integrated MicroSD cards or external USB drives and can therefore be used in standalone

operation with no additional network load.

Universal Application From The Vacation Home To The Airport

MOBOTIX M24M cameras are suitable for use in large-scale facilities, such as 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. In addition, MOBOTIX recommends the M24M in combi-

nation with a hemispheric L11 lens as a superb, inspiring panorama webcam.

Furthermore, the M24M is the ﬁrst HemisphericReady camera from the M series and can also be equipped with the hemispheric L11 lens (image angle of 180°).

The M24M-Sec-CSVario is an M24M model that is shipped with a CS mount and a compact L24-L54 1/2" Vario lens. To protect the lens against the weather, this model comes with a longer lens cover with an integrated glass pane which includes threads for an external ﬁlter. This cover is suitable for lenses with a maximum diameter of 36 mm and a maximum length of 43mm. Because of the image sensor's size of 1/2", CS and C mount lenses for 1/2" sensors or larger that are designed for megapixel image sensors can be used. In comparison with MOBOTIX ﬁxed lenses, Vario lenses are less robust and

less reliable in the long run. For this reason, Vario lenses are typically used in applications where recording conditions change frequently, for example, intermittent surveillance of construction sites.

M24M Overview

You can change all M24M lenses on site whenever necessary (except the hemispheric

L11 lens). Each lens is secured by a lock ring. The ordered lens is factory-aligned and quality-tested in the camera, which makes on-site camera focusing unnecessary in most cases. Each M24M is available for delivery with a lens of your choosing or no lens at all. The image area captured by the camera varies depending on the selected lens (see Section 1.5). With a Super Wide Angle lens (L22 with 90°), for example, almost an entire room can be recorded from just one corner. A L135 Tele lens enables an M24M with a

high-resolution 3.1 megapixel sensor to clearly record a license plate number, for example, from a distance of approximately 75meters.

Virtual PTZ (vPTZ) – Panning, Tilting, And Zooming With No Motor

The M24M can also zoom in on detail as well. This vPTZ function (virtual Pan, Tilt, Zoom)

is a standard feature in the integrated M24M camera software. The image from the hemispheric camera can be enlarged using, for example, 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.

M24M Overview

Livebild Auswertung im VollbildGespeichertes Vollbild

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 record-

ing 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 M24M. 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 date, 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.

Example:The two people indicated by the red circles in the middle image would not have

been recorded by a regular PTZ camera. The full image recording of the M24M allows you to determine, for example, the exact time at which these people entered the image area recorded by the camera. A browser, MxControlCenter and MxEasy can be used to examine the recorded sequences.

M24M models with L11 and CS Vario lenses are only available as Secure models (see Section

1.5 for more details)

M24M Camera Manual: INTRODUCTION

Internal DVR

The M24M 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 record-

ing 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 32GB MicroSD card, for example, allows the camera to store more than

half a million event images in VGA format (640x480). For security reasons, the camera can even encrypt the stored data (available

in future software versions). 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, MxControlCenter or MxEasy. If you would like to archive sequences, you can export the required data to a PC or USB stick for evidence purposes, for example.

Model Versions

The M24M is available in the Secure, IT or Basic models, which all come with dierent features. The M24M is shipped with either a color or black and white image sensor (Day/

Night) and with an L22 Super Wide Angle lens (horizontal angle of 90°) as standard.

Furthermore, ve further factory lenses with image angles of 15°, 31°, 45°, 60° and 180° as well as a version with a CS Vario lens are available upon request. Every M24M

is provided with a pre-formatted and installed 4GB MicroSD card and a VarioFlex mount for fast and easy installation.

Due to the extreme optical distortion of the M24M with the L11 sheye lens, special requirements must be met with regard to the alignment of the hardware and software.

For this reason, interchangeable lenses cannot be used with this version. The camera's

lens is extensively and precisely ﬁne-tuned in the factory and should not be adjusted.

M24M Camera Manual: INTRODUCTION

1.2 M24M With Hemispheric Special L11 Lens

Equipped with the 180° L11 lens, an entire room can be ideally monitored using just one M24M, which replaces the time-consuming and expensive installation of several standard cameras. The overview image provided by a single M24M, which may be personalized in a number of ways according to speciﬁc user requirements, not only reduces the number of required cameras, but also minimizes the system costs by reducing the wiring complexity, emergency power requirements and number of recording devices required.

L11 Lens: High-Resolution 180° Panorama

When several cameras are monitoring a single room, it is dicult to understand the room

layout due to the dierent viewing directions of each individual camera. This makes it hard to comprehend the overall setting. The new panorama function of the M24M with the

L11 lens delivers a widescreen, corrected image of a high-resolution 180° allround view.

High image quality is achieved through the use of a 3.1 megapixel color sensor and the new hemispheric lens of the M24M.

With approximately 0.6 megapixels (1280x480 pixels), an M24M panorama image only requires a fraction of the original data volume or bandwidth of a 3.1 megapixel full image (1280x1536 pixels).

M24M With Hemispheric Special L11 Lens

The factory default setting of an M24M with an L11 lens

is a high-resolution 180° panorama image, in which parts of the protective cover are still visible in the upper right and left corners of the image.

Optimizing The M24M Panorama Image

In order to hide the protective cover in the panorama image, all that is often required is the "panorama correction" function, which has already been integrated into the camera software (controlling the camera via a web browser). Tilted vertical lines (if the camera is mounted at an angle) may be optically straightened to the image edges using this function (see Section 3.5). A welcome side eect of this is that the protective cover disappears from the image.

27/146

Original full image

If this measure does not work in some special cases (camera tilt of approximately 0°), the protective cover can be removed from the image by zooming and, if necessary, by using the purely software-based downward panning function. The displayed image section or the panorama, as the case may be,

is reduced slightly but the image details are enlarged as a result of zooming.

L11 Lens: Double Panorama For A Simultaneous View In Two Directions

The "Double Panorama" display mode provides a panorama image of both halves of the area captured by the full image. Using the vPTZ functions, the panorama images can be changed as desired. The example here shows an overview panorama of the entire room, as well as the entrance, which would have otherwise no longer been visible in the panorama – a superb overview for the user.

www.mobotix.com • sales@mobotix.com

M24M With Hemispheric Special L11 Lens

L11 Lens: Surround View (Quad View)

The M24M's "Surround" display mode replaces four cameras all at once and simultaneously delivers four dierent directions "at a glance." If the camera is installed in the ceiling and is looking straight down, all four cardinal directions can be displayed, for example.

Surround View: Quad

Each of the four views features a software-controlled

pan/tilt/zoom function (virtual PTZ), allowing it to be customized as necessary. In order to facilitate camera operation, the M24M can store, in addition to the preset standard views, a total of 256 user-dened camera views using the vPTZ function, which can easily be brought up using joystick keys or softbuttons.

Besides being able to manually bring up speciﬁc camera views, the camera can also show them automatically.

It does so by moving through the standard views or by showing the ﬁrst 16 saved camera views (one af ter

the other like in a slide show).

M24M Camera Manual: INTRODUCTION

1.3 M24M: HiRes Allround Camera With Widest Range Of Lenses

The high-resolution Allround M24M camera is the more powerful successor to the M22M and comes with a new microprocessor and a modiﬁed system platform. The result is more than twice the processing power, which enables smooth video frame rates, even in the

high-resolution panorama display combined with the now available hemispheric L11 lens.

Double The Frame Rates Of The M22M

Even 3.1 megapixel camera images may be transferred at a rate of up to 20 frames per

second and megapixel images at up to 30 images per second.

Internal DVR With 4GB MircoSD Card

Every M24M is delivered with a high-quality, factory-installed 4GB MicroSD card (internal DVR) as a standard feature – sucient for around 50,000 panorama images or ten hours

of HiRes continuous recording including audio (4 fps).

New, Waterproof Connections To The Camera

The network cable, the Mini USB cable and the MxBus for IO extensions are easily connected using waterproof connectors with bayonet catch in the back of the camera. The standard weatherproof housing complies with the strict IP66 standard.

New VarioFlex Wall And Ceiling Mount

Simple and ﬂexible installation using the extremely robust VarioFlex Mount (supplied as standard) – including concealed cabling and an extra wide positional range for even more installation options.

Adjustable PoE Classes, 1 To 3

The PoE class of the camera may be raised or lowered from the default value of 2 to 1 or 3 from the camera software in order to precisely adjust the functionality of the camera,

its accessories and the PoE switch.

Only 3 Watt Power Consumption

Despite the use of a more powerful processor, the power consumption of the M24M is

maintained at an extremely low level of only 3watts.

New Audio Functionalities

Microphone and speakers are integrated and, thanks to the new HiFi audio component, the audio quality is once again improved and echoes during hands-free operation can now be eliminated. If data protection requires it, microphone and audio recording can

be irreversibly switched o by securing the hardware.

M24M Camera Manual: INTRODUCTION

1.4 General MOBOTIX Camera Functions

Like all MOBOTIX cameras, the M24M line has a variety of software functions: from motion detection and long-term storage right through to alarm notiﬁcation via video IP telephony. Unlike in camera systems from other manufacturers, it is not necessary to buy and install additional software on the computer. It is possible to use a web browser, however, you can also download the free MxControlCenter or MxEasy from the MOBOTIX website, which allow quick displaying of multiple cameras on one monitor, alarm switching with audio or an easy event search.

Camera vPTZ functions can be controlled with a mouse or joystick

Using a joystick: Internet Explorer with activated MxPEG ActiveX plugin, MxControlCenter or MxEasy required

MxControlCenter and MxEasy can be downloaded free of charge at www.mobotix.com

vPTZ: Virtual Pan/Tilt/Zoom Features

While MxControlCenter has been providing virtual PTZ features for some time now, these features are now available directly in the MOBOTIX camera. This means that you can continuously zoom into or out of the live image using either the mouse wheel or a joystick. When storing images or video sequences, you can choose to store either the visible image area of the live image or the full sensor image (full image storage). This also allows you to examine parts of an image or video that had not been visible in the live image section on display at the time of the recording.

Automatic Image Correction (Only With L22 Or L11 Lenses)

Another problem familiar from the ﬁeld of photography are the distortions that result from using wide angle lenses. Straight lines near the image borders are curved. The integrated distortion correction features of the camera (and of MxControlCenter) allow the curve of various lenses to be corrected using software functions.

Live Video With Up To 30 fps, Including Audio

MOBOTIX cameras deliver smooth live video with lip-synchronous audio, yet they keep network load to a minimum. Some analog systems may also be able to deliver this, but the recording quality is so much higher with MOBOTIX since the cameras eciently store the

high, live image resolution and frame rate without compromising image quality. MOBOTIX technology thus provides for continuous recording of simultaneous video from 30 cameras at 30frames per second each, including audio, all on one standard PC.

Very Low Network Load

MOBOTIX's patent-pending streaming format MxPEG enables fast live video with audio at extremely low network load (1 to 2Mbps). Since the MOBOTIX camera itself detects movements in the image (and not the computer), video sequences are only transmitted when they are being stored externally.

www.mobotix.com • sales@mobotix.com

General MOBOTIX Camera Functions

Voice Over IP

Moreover, MxPEG provides for lip-synchronous live audio and two-way communication

between the camera and a computer. Room surveillance is possible using a browser (Internet Explorer), MxControlCenter, or MxEasy. Customized alarm notiﬁcation on your mobile phone or via Internet telephony is just as easy as event-controlled voice messages directly from the camera.

Internet Telephony (SIP) And Video SIP

Video SIP allows audio/video connections to

be established to the camera using Windows Messenger or similar applications (for example, CounterPath X-Lite/Eyebeam). This feature also allows the camera to be remote controlled using the phone keys and the camera itself can place phone calls in case of alarms.

Long-Term Storage On File Servers Included

MOBOTIX cameras have an integrated long-term storage system for Linux, Windows, and Mac OS X computers. Every camera manages its own ring buer storage to a shared folder. Thanks to this decentralized approach, 30 live cameras can store images of up to 30 frames per second each, including audio, on a single computer.

Internal DVR: Storage On MicroSD And CF Cards

MOBOTIX cameras support direct storage on an internal MicroSD/SD/CF card (Basic models excluded). By using this integrated ﬂash card DVR, the camera is able to oer the following additional applications:

35/146

• Standalone use of the camera without a ﬁle server by recording to the MicroSD card

• High-security application with recording on a ﬁle server or NAS/SAN in which the

SD card serves as storage buer. It can thus bridge longer network or ﬁle server failures without losing any video sequences (supported in a future software version).

• Event downloads from the MicroSD card for evaluation of the recorded sequences on a computer

M24M Camera Manual: INTRODUCTION

Event And Time-Controlled

Just like triggering event-controlled recording upon detecting movements in the image, the camera can also record when the volume detected by the microphone exceeds a certain trigger value. Using scheduled daily recording, time tasks can start or stop video recording, upload images to a website, or send e-mails with video/audio clips. Vacation times and holidays can be programmed.

Remote Alerting

In case of an alarm, MOBOTIX cameras can automatically pop up windows or activate other functions at a remote security control center. The cameras can use network/wi-ﬁ, GSM/GPRS/UMTS (3G), or Internet connections for this purpose.

Integrated Power Over Ethernet

Power is supplied as Power over Ethernet via the network cabling using the MOBOTIX NPA-

PoE-Set or from a PoE-compatible switch (both according to the IEEE 802.3af PoE standard).

Caution

Previous MOBOTIX network power accessories such as the NPA Set, Power Box, and Power Rack (MX-NPA-Set, MX-NPR-4, and MX-NPR8/20) are not suitable for use with the M24M.

No heating is necessary thanks to the well-insulated plastic housing and anti-fogging properties. Due to their low power consumption (approximately 3 watts), MOBOTIX cameras, unlike those of other manufacturers, may be operated both indoors and outdoors using a PoE power supply.

Logo generator for displaying graphics already integrated in the live image

Logos, Animated Or Freestyle

The MOBOTIX camera logo generator allows time-scheduled banners and graphics (includ-

ing ﬁles loaded automatically from any URL) to be integrated into the current camera

images. MOBOTIX cameras are the only network IP cameras supporting animated and transparent graphics.

All settings selected in MxEasy (for example, virtual camera position, zoom, brightness, volume, microphone sensitivity, image storage, signal outputs) are usable immediately and are stored instantly in the conﬁguration of the corresponding camera. The calendar function integrated in the Alarm Planner provides access to innovative features for scheduled settings of one or more cameras.

For the ﬁrst time, this tool not only controls video and audio recording based on certain time and date information, but also allows features like video motion detection, image

brightness, and the microphone to be activated/deactivated based on a date and time schedule.

MxEasy is available as a free-of-charge download for the Windows and Mac OS X operating systems under www.mobotix.com. A Linux version will be available soon.

Diverse Installation Options

Not only can MOBOTIX cameras be used under almost all weather and temperature conditions, they also oer suitable installation materials from a wide range of accessories for any conceivable application scenario.

Additional Camera Functions (Software)

• True software scaling to easily generate smaller image formats for PDAs (such as 320x240, 160x120, etc.)

• Audio-video recording with three dierent recording modes: event recording with audio, continuous recording with variable frame rate and audio as well as eventcontrolled snapshot recording of JPEG images

• Storage failure detection can monitor a ﬁle server (or a ﬂash device) and can use one or more of the deﬁned messaging options for error notiﬁcation

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

• Multiwatcher screen can display and monitor several cameras over the Internet, with only one camera requiring access from the outside. This "proxy" camera uses only very little bandwidth, making it an ideal solution for low-bandwidth connections

•

tion (Phone Call-Out), sounds, and by visual means (for example, red frame in live

image) using two separate messaging paths

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

www.mobotix.com • sales@mobotix.com

General MOBOTIX Camera Functions

• Time Tables with handling of customized holidays and vacations. The time tables are used to control the camera's arming, image recording messaging, logos, the obscure image function as well as other features.

• Remote signaling for master/slave cameras, with the master camera controlling the arming status of the slave cameras. This allows, for example, all slave cameras to be armed using a key switch connected to the master camera.

• Transfer proles for comfortably controlling transmissions via FTP, e-mail, phone calls and network messages

• Speakerphone* with speak, listen and intercom modes using the microphone and speaker

• Phone Call-In* to remotely control the camera using a touchtone telephone (retrieve camera information, establish an Internet connection, announce the retrieved

IP address, intercom feature, etc.)

• MxPEG video compression using MxControlCenter. The ActiveX plug-in for Internet

Explorer users brings all advantages of MxPEG to the browser-based user interface

(including the audio stream to and from the camera)

• Routing allows use of other network connections besides the standard route

• DynDNS client for accessing the camera via the Internet using a symbolic name

(for example, mymobotixcam.dyndns.org), despite the provider assigning a new dynamic IP address every time the camera connects to the Internet

• Non-voidable backup system starts the cameras in the original operating state

if a software update fails, allowing the user to easily restart the update process

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

• Notications upon errors or when rebooting provide a method for executing one or more notiﬁcations (for example, blinking of the camera LEDs, audio message, FTP, e-mail, phone call, network message)

• Extended security features protect the pages and features of the camera and prohibit unauthorized access (IP-level access control, intrusion detection). They also provide SSL-protected transmission of the video sequences and the data (using SSL encryption and X.509 certiﬁcates).

M24M Camera Manual: INTRODUCTION

1.5 Lens Options, Hardware And Software Features

MOBOTIX oers the M24M with lenses in three dierent classes of focal length. Since MOBOTIX cameras are backlight-proof, none of these lenses requires a mechanical auto

iris, thus making the camera extremely robust and maintenance-free. MOBOTIX lenses

deliver good image quality even when using maximum digital zoom.

L11 Hemispheric 180°

L22 Super Wide Angle 90°

L32 Wide Angle 60°

L43 Wide Angle 45°

L65 Tele 31°

L135 Tele 15°

M24M With Standard Lenses And M14 Thread

A total of ﬁve dierent MOBOTIX lenses are oered:

•

L22 Super Wide Angle with 90° image angle (horizontal)

• L32 Wide Angle* with 60° image angle (horizontal)

• L43 Wide Angle with 45° image angle (horizontal)

• L65 Telephoto with 31° image angle (horizontal)

• L135 Telephoto with 15° image angle (horizontal)

The standard lenses can be exchanged at any time without having to dismantle the

camera. The camera is shipped either with a color day sensor or a light-sensitive black and white sensor for low lighting conditions (day or night versions).

M24M With Hemispheric L11 Lens (Fisheye)

The hemispheric M24M model (M24M-Sec-D11) is only shipped with one L11 ﬁsheye lens with a horizontal image angle of 180° and 3.1 megapixel color sensor. The lens distortion that is speciﬁc to each lens is corrected in the live

image by the MOBOTIX camera software. Due to the special outdoor-optimized design of the camera, the full sensor image cannot be used with all available image display options (parts of the weatherproof hous-

ing may be visible in the image). With this model, it is not possible to switch to another

lens at a later stage.

M24M With CSVario Lens

The M24M-Sec-CSVario is shipped with a CS mount, a compact

L24-L54 1/2" Vario lens (image angle from 58° to 28°) and an optional color or black and white sensor (day/night).

In addition, commercial CS and C mount lenses (C mount

lenses with adapter ring) with a diameter of up 36mm and a length of up to 43mm that are designed for megapixel image sensors (1/2“ and larger) can be used. Using other lenses will produce shadows at the image borders and will reduce image sharpness.

Notes

The speciﬁed focal lengths of MOBOTIX lenses do not reﬂect the actual focal length of the lenses, but the focal length (Lxxmm) converted to 35mm camera format. For example, the MOBOTIX L22 Super Wide Angle lens has an actual focal length of 4mm. This would be the equivalent of 22mm on a 35mm camera. It is therefore referred to as an L22. Since the image sensors in digital cameras have dierent sizes, converting the focal lengths to 35mm camera as a known format allows the image formats and the ﬁelds of vision of the dierent lenses to be calculated and compared more easily. Another beneﬁt is that you can easily set a 35mm camera (analog or digital) to the same focal length as the MOBOTIX lens (Lxx) to obtain the same ﬁeld of vision. This approach greatly facilitates lens selection.

M24M Camera Manual: INSTALLATION

2 INSTALLATION

Although the M24M is primarily designed for installation on walls and ceilings, it can also be installed on a mounting pole using the appropriate MOBOTIX accessories. The dierent installation options are described in Sections 2.4 and below, while the drilling templates are included at the end of the manual.

2.1 Preparing The Installation

Before installing the MOBOTIX M24M, the following questions should be answered:

1. Where will the camera be mounted? Mounting to a wall or ceiling and special features of the L11 lens, see Sections 2.1.1 to 2.1.3

2. Which other mounting options are available? Mounting to a pole with pole mount, see Section 2.1.4

3. How is the camera connected to the network and how is the power supplied? MX-NPA-PoE or other PoE components (IEEE 802.3af), see Section 2.1.5

4. How are the connections furnished from the building? Wall outlets, see Section 2.1.6

5. What cabling considerations are necessar y? Wiring, see Sections 2.1.7 and 2.9

The following sections contain an answer to each of these questions, as well as references to the relevant sections in this manual. For more information on the MOBOTIX M24M and currently available accessories, please see: www.mobotix.com.

2.1.1 Flexible Installation Using VarioFlex Mount

Like all MOBOTIX cameras, the M24M is extremely exible in terms of how and where it can be installed. An M24M can be used for both indoor and outdoor applications. In ﬁxed or mobile applications - constantly changing locations or in/on vehicles of any kind. The M24M cameras have been certiﬁed weatherproof according to IP66 and can work reli- ably in temperature ranges from -30 °C to +60°C (-22°F to +140°F) without extra housing, heating or fan. A practical sun protective cover is integrated into the extremely resistant housing, which is made of UV-resistant special-purpose plastic.

Thanks to the camera’s unique VarioFlex mounting system (supplied as standard), the M24M camera can be mounted quickly and easily on any wall, ceiling or even a round pole of up to 18 cm in diameter (when combined with the stainless steel pole mount). The VarioFlex mounting system allows a wide positioning range in both the horizontal and vertical directions (rotating and tilting) to enable precise adjustment to suit the area to be monitored. The mount also ts directly over ush-mounted RJ45 sockets (without the frame) to fully conceal the cable, thus improving the watertightness and security of the installation.

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

Make sure that you have found the best camera position before mounting the camera. It is important that the camera's ﬁeld of view is not obstructed in any way. Once the camera has been mounted to a wall or ceiling, you can ﬁne-tune its position. If the monitored area changes from time to time or the camera has to be installed in a dierent location, the camera lens can be exchanged in just a few easy steps and used, without having to upgrade to new video software (does not apply to the M24M-Sec with hemispheric L11 lens).

2.1.2 Mounting To A Ceiling Or Wall

Mounting To A Wall

The M24M can be mounted to the wall of a building or structures, even mobile surfaces, for both indoor and outdoor use. The camera is mounted using the pre-installed VarioFlex mount (supplied as standard), which is easily secured using the four enclosed screws and screw anchors (depending on the surface, it can also be mounted without screw anchors directly over the ﬂush-mounted socket). The Ethernet connection cable of the camera has already been guided through the mount and simply needs to be connected with the network cable. By adjusting the VarioFlex mount as required, the captured image area can be precisely adjusted to the desired practical application. The camera can be

turned or tilted 180° horizontally and 110° vertically (from -90° to +20°).

Mounting To A Ceiling

By exchanging the wall mount for the separately supplied ceiling mount, the M24M is ready to be mounted to ceilings in just a few easy steps thanks to the VarioFlex system. This mounting option is of particular beneﬁt when monitoring rectangular rooms with a single camera. In such cases, the Super Wide Angle lens (90°, L22) allows the room to be monitored almost entirely by an M24M mounted to the ceiling in one of the corners. Using the PTZ software, you can easily zoom in on image details in either the live image or the recording. The camera can be turned or tilted 360° horizontally and 110° vertically (from -90° to +20°).

2.1.3 Mounting Tips For The M24M With L11 Lens (180° Fisheye)

The camera must be correctly positioned on the wall or ceiling in order to be able to use the high-resolution hemispheric image display option of the M24M with L11 lens. The entire hemisphere of the room in front of the camera is then eectively monitored.

High-Resolution Panorama Images

The M24M with L11 lens is primarily suited to providing an excellent overview in the form of a high-resolution panorama image, and less suitable for more exact details. For active operation, the camera should be mounted at an (out of direct reach) height ranging from

2.50m to 3.50 m. People, for example, may be identied very well at distances of up to 1.50m, and with sucient detail at up to 3m. Objects can be recognized even at

distances of 5m and more from the camera. During installation, ensure that the camera is focused on the most important areas of the room as directly as possible, in order to optimize image quality and to provide the desired level of detail recognition. This applies above all to wall and ceiling installations that must be carried out at greater heights for technical or other reasons (over doors, windows, etc.). Only by tilting the camera appropriately can the lens capabilities be fully utilized.

MOBOTIX recommends the Q24M with optional In-Ceiling Set as a discreet and powerful overview camera with a 360° allround view

M24M Camera Manual: INSTALLATION

Allround View

Thanks to its hemispheric lens, a single M24M can monitor an entire room right into each of the four corners (360° Allround View). The camera's ideal position is on the ceiling in the center of the room at an angle of 90°. Due to its inherent physical and optical properties, the precision of the lens decreases as the distance from the lens grows. This means that the maximum usable image area greatly varies with the purpose of the camera. Rooms with a square ﬂoor area of up to approx. 40m² (48yd²) in general allow details to be identiﬁed even at the borders of the full image. If you would only like to know if persons enter a room or for monitoring speciﬁc objects, rooms with up to 100 m² (120yd²) ﬂoor area can be monitored using a single M24M.

Furthermore, the "camera view from top to bottom" can also be achieved by mounting the camera to a wall or a pole at a tilt of 90°.

Allround View In Rectangular Rooms

When viewing a 360° allround image in the browser, you will notice that at the top and the bottom of the image edge, small part of the image information has been cut o. This is not a fault of the camera, but an intended behavior that aims at achieving the best possible utilization of the image sensor by the camera software. Bearing this in mind, it is advisable to install the M24M in rectangular rooms so that the camera lens is ﬁrst directed towards the center of the two longer walls and then vertically tilted towards the ground.

The image quality (precision) diminishes as the distance of an object to the camera focus point

increases: 1 very good, 2 good, 3 satisfactory

Panning/tilting/zooming removes the area concealed by the weatherproof cover

Part of the captured image area is concealed behind the protective cover of the M24M housing, especially in the full image. For this reason, M24M cameras with L11 lens should be adjusted so that the concealed areas are not those that are supposed to be monitored. By panning/tilting/zooming the image, the concealed area can be completely removed from the image.

2.1.4 Optional: Mounting To A Pole (With Accessories)

Installation on round poles is frequently used for cameras that are intended for mobile outdoor use. For this purpose, MOBOTIX recommends using the pole mount, which is available for the M24M as an accessory and is almost indestructible (MX-MH-SecureFlexESWS). This pole mount is made from rust-proof stainless steel with a white coating and is used in combination with the pre-installed VarioFlex mount supplied as standard with the wall mount.

Poles with a diameter between 60and 180mm can be used. It is particularly advisable to use cavity (metal) poles, in which the network cable is not visible and can be protected from attacks. For more detailed information on the installation process, see Sections 2.6 and below. The appropriate drilling templates can be found at the end of the manual.

Note

The MOBOTIX M24M can be powered by switches or routers that support the PoE (Power-over-Ethernet) standard and conform to IEEE 802.3af.

Advantages of PoE power supply:

• Advantages of centralized backup power supply are available via network

• Lower, more cost-eective power consumption

• Camera does not require an additional network connection

www.mobotix.com • sales@mobotix.com

Preparing The Installation

Using Uninterruptible Power Supplies (UPS)

In order to maintain a continuous power supply even when utility power fails, you should install an uninterruptible power supply (UPS). These devices also provide full protection against electrical surges and voltage ﬂuctuations and thus enhance the reliability of the system as a whole.

When using a more powerful 19" rack-mounted 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 approximately 3watts is very low. This in turn means that you can centralize the UPS-protected power supply by injecting power into the network cables (max. 100m/109.36yd). 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.

2.1.6 Preparing The Camera Connections, Wall Outlets

Once the camera position, the position of the cable connectors, and the method of power supply have been decided upon, the cabling can be installed. Before mounting the MOBOTIX M24M, you should make sure that the network connections have been properly tested, so that the proper functioning of the camera is guaranteed.

2.1.7 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 eects 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 technology for preventing damages from electrical surges.

Wiring

When installing the wiring, make sure to follow these guidelines:

• Data cable: Make sure you only use double-shielded 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.

• Wire lengths: The cable segments must not exceed the maximum allowed cable lengths in order to ensure proper data transfer (see Section 2.11).

• Avoiding induction: When running data cables parallel to existing regular power lines or high-voltage wires, make sure you observe the minimum distances to the power cables.

Fire Prevention

When installing the power lines to the camera, make sure you always adhere to the country-speciﬁc regulations (for example, VDE in Germany, IEEE in the U.S.) in eect on wiring and ﬁre prevention at the site of the installation.

2.3 Available M24M Accessories - Overview

NPA-PoE Set (MX-NPA-PoE-EU and MX-NPA-PoE-INT)

The MOBOTIX Network Power Adapter Set (NPA-PoE set) is a high-quality, robust, ultracompact, and, above all, multifunctional PoE injector with three connectors (network, camera/PoE device, PC) and a universal power supply unit with adapter plugs. The Network Power Adapter Set remotely supplies the M24M and all other PoE devices with power in accordance with the IEEE 802.3af standard. This makes it possible to use the network cable to both connect the camera and remotely supply power (up to 100m). As a result, the M24M can be supplied with PoE power via the adapter and connected directly to your PC (integrated crossover function).

A further advantage of this product is its versatility. blue adapter can be connected to the dierent power outlet systems around the world using the power supply unit. The device can also be directly connected to network-independent power sources between 12 V and 42V. This is ideal for the battery-operated, standalone operation of a network camera. This device is especially practical because the supplied power supply unit can be used around the world by changing the adapters as required in just two simple steps. The "EU" version of the NPA-PoE Set is supplied as standard with a European adapter, while the "INT" version includes 4 adapters (EU, USA, UK, AUS).

Lens Cover With Glass Pane (MX-M24M-OPT-LCSG)

As an additional accessory, the M24M with standard lens (M14 thread) can be supplied with a protective cover that has a glass pane instead of one made of plastic. This will improve the durability of the lens cover when used in extremely rough conditions (at sea, in sand storms, etc.). This lens cover also has a thread size that ﬁts external ﬁlters (40.5mm x 0.5mm) available from photo shops. For example, you could install a polarization ﬁlter to cancel out the reﬂections from windowpanes or windshields. Using this lens cover together with the L22 Super Wide Angle lens is not recommended, since this lens cover produces shadows at the image borders. The (longer) cover supplied with M24M models with the CSVario lens is equipped with the glass pane as standard.

Mx2wire

Mx2wire Media Converter (MX-2wire-Set-PW)

The Mx2wire system allows you to set up an Ethernet network with PoE via two-wire cables of up to 500 m in length. This allows an existing two-wire analog telephone line to be connected to a 10/100 Mbps Ethernet device (for example, PC, WLAN, IP camera, IP telephone, or IP door station). The achievable data rate is up to 30 Mbps. Around 15 Mbps can be reached even with 500 m of antenna cable.

An identical Mx2wire device is placed at the beginning and the end of the line. Conﬁguration as sender or receiver is automatic. The Mx2wire units are supplied with power by the feeding network cable. The connected devices are supplied with up to 7 watts over PoE, as the injected PoE signal is transmitted parallel to the network signal. Mx2wire is delivered in the standard wall outlet frame in dierent designs, however, it can also be used with the available surface-mounted socket that is included.

2.9 Network And Power Connection

2.9.1 Notes On Cable Lengths And Power Supply

• Power may only be supplied to the camera via its Ethernet connector. A MOBOTIX PoE adapter or similar high-quality PoE product is recommended to provide the power supply via the network cable (see Section 2.3

• one camera: with the PoE adapter (MX-NPA-PoE)

• multiple cameras: with PoE products conforming to IEEE 802.3af (PoE switch)

• The maximum length of the network cable for power supply over an Ethernet cable is 100m.

• Make sure that you only use switches or routers that support the 10/100 Mbps 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 Section

Operating Multiple Cameras

4.11

•

It is highly recommend to use uninterruptible power supplies (UPS) to provide backup 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.

to be changed. However, if the lower power level class 1 is sucient for your application, it may – due to possible internal power distribution schemes amongst the ports of the PoE switch in use – be advantageous to change the PoE power level class in the browser:

1. Select Admin Menu > Network Setup > Ethernet interface (for experts).

2. Under Power Supply, click Change.

3. A Power Wizard will appear to guide you through the PoE conﬁguration steps.

4. The camera will then need to be restarted via a hard reboot: Disconnect the camera from the power supply, then reconnect it, for example, by disconnecting and then reconnecting the network cable at the PoE switch.

2.9.3 Power Supply Using A Switch

1. Connect the factory pre-installed cable of the camera to the Camera connector of the PoE adapter.

2. Connect the LAN/Power connector of the PoE adapter to the Ethernet connector of the switch/router or the Ethernet socket.

Camera software in the browser

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 applications MxControlCenter and MxEasy. Follow these steps to set up the camera:

1. Connect the camera to the network. Power is supplied directly via the network cable (see Section 2.9)

2. Set up the camera's network parameters:

• Manually using a Web browser (see Section 3.2.1, then Section 3.2.2)

• Automatically using MxControlCenter/MxEasy (see Sections 3.2.3 and 3.2.4)

or via DHCP (see Section 3.2.5)

Congure the camera using the browser-based user interface, with MxControlCenter or with MxEasy.

Every MOBOTIX camera comes preconﬁgured with a ﬁxed IP address in the 10.x.x.x range (for example, 10.8.0.99). However, local computer networks usually have IP addresses in the 172 or 192 ranges. In order to access a MOBOTIX camera via the network, the camera needs to obtain an IP address in the same address range. You can set up the

network parameters of the MOBOTIX camera using one of the following methods: Manually, using MxCC and MxEasy or by DHCP.

Pressing the R key on the camera (see Section

2.9.6) prompts the camera to announce its current IP address over the speaker

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 is already using an IP address in the 10.x.x.x range with a 255.0.0.0 network mask, you do not need to change the camera's network parameters. You can access the camera directly (see Section 3.2.2). If your network or computer does not use an IP address in the 10.x.x.x range (for example, in the 192 or 172 ranges), you should follow one of the following methods for changing the camera's network parameters:

• Manual Setup (Section 3.2.1)

• Automatic Setup using MxControlCenter or MxEasy (Sections 3.2.3 and 3.2.4)

Notes

For the following examples, we will use a camera with the factory address 10.8.0.99. Replace this IP address with the IP address of your camera. You will ﬁnd the IP address of your camera on a small sticker on the camera. Make sure that the IP addresses used in the following examples are not already being used by other devices in the network.

Hint: Pressing the R key on the camera (see Section 2.9.6) prompts the camera to announce its current IP address over the speaker.

3.2.1 Manually Setting Up The Network Parameters In A Browser
