FOREWORD

Dear MOBOTIX customer,

Congratulations on purchasing a professional and state-of-the-art HiRes network camera “Made in Germany.” MOBOTIX is proud to present the S15 FlexMount, a weatherproof and ﬂexible system characterized above all by its extremely discreet installation options.

In the dual camera S15D variant one or two sensor modules (lens with a sensor board, LEDs and microphone) are connected to the base module using cables that can be up to three meters long. The ﬂat housing with integrated long-term ﬂash memory and external connectors (Ethernet, MiniUSB, MxBus, audio) can be installed discreetly and with optimal protection behind a wall or ceiling panel so that only the lenses are visible in the room. Sensor modules are available with 5MP and 6MP resolution: from tele lens to Hemispheric, each available as day or night models, in black or white.

The BlockFlexMounts represent the same sensor modules in a dierent housing that has been designed especially for integration into any given structure or device. The additional mounting options (DualMount, SurroundMount, HaloMount, PTMount) provide the highest ﬂexibility when installing the modules.

The S15M camera variant has a hemispheric sensor module (day or night) that is integrated into the camera housing. This camera can also be placed discreetly and securely behind walls and ceilings or stainless steel panels (using the AudioMount, for example). If a speaker is required, why not use the SpeakerMount for easy installation into ceilings or walls?

The introduction of the newest sensor technology with increased light sensitivity in combi nation with the new HD Premium lenses (aperture f/1.8) not only generates more brilliant images with up to 3072x2048 (6MP image sensor) or 2592x1944 (5MP image sensor), it also delivers color images of higher quality under lowlight conditions.

The new model variant a high-end thermal imaging sensor, which can reliably detect moving objects even in total darkness. The detecting temperatures in the image or in measurement windows that exceed or drop below the speciﬁed temperature.

S15 Camera Manual: Product Overview

1 PRODUCT OVERVIEW

1.1 S15 FlexMount

Perfect When Discretion Is Needed

Some application scenarios beneﬁt from a surveillance camera that is present, but does not attract attention. Available in both single-lens and dual versions, the cameras feature a discreet appearance, enabling a ﬂexible range of applications.

The easily concealable camera housing makes every S15 system the ideal solution wher ever discreet design and appearance are paramount. Digital network cameras without mechanical moving parts require low maintenance. In addition, they are silent when panning and focusing on a speciﬁc image area. As a result, typical applications for these cameras are installations in hotels and restaurants, public and private buildings, waiting rooms, showrooms, parking garages, storage rooms and exhibition booths.

Fast, Simple Cabling

The MOBOTIX S15 FlexMount requires just one cable for data and power to connect to a PoE switch and thereby to any expandable Ethernet network. There are two options for a weatherproof connection of the network cable to the housing. A MOBOTIX patch cable up to 10meters in length can be plugged externally into the housing from below and secured with a weatherproof bayonet catch, or the eight individual strands of the installation cable can be attached directly to the LSA cutting clamp inside the camera housing.

A number of additional devices can be used together with the S15. They are connected via a network switch or directly to the camera housing via a MxBus or MiniUSB cable (for example, ExtIO, MOBOTIX interface boxes, audio devices, ﬂash drives or UMTS/WiFi USB modems). If the network switch also features an Internet connection, it can be used for encrypted access to the camera footage from anywhere in the world.

The entire camera plus cables and sensor modules are weatherproof () and operate in a temperature range of –30 to +60 °C/–22 to +140 °F. Because the S15 never fogs up and does not require any heating, it can be operated all year round with power supplied via a standard PoE network cable. Power consumption is less than ﬁve watts.

S15 Camera Manual: Product Overview

Day and Night Sensor in One Camera

The dierence between a MOBOTIX day/night camera and the standard versions is primarily that it continuously uses two adjacent sensor modules rather than relying on a mechanical ﬁlter switch, which can be costly to maintain. The other advantage is much better image quality in poor lighting conditions, as the camera uses a real infrared-sensitive, blackand-white image sensor instead of the usual color sensor with electronic color fade-out, whereby the infrared sensitivity is reduced through integrated color ﬁlters.

Dual Hemispheric Camera S15D

When an S15D with two hemispheric sensor modules is deployed, they can be installed in dierent mounting positions (ceiling, wall, ﬂoor), even in dierent rooms, if needed. Each sensor module oers the full range of functions provided by a hemispheric camera. The day/night versions of the sensor modules can be freely combined in installation (including automatic day/night switching for the same viewing angle).

The thermal image sensors, which further expand the range of application scenarios. You can use two thermal sensor modules as a dual thermal imaging camera, for example, or a combination of a Thermal-TR and an optical sensor module for measuring temperatures and delivering color images at the same time. This means that the S15D combines the proven MOBOTIX sensors and event processing capabilities with thermal imaging technology, which can reliably detect moving objects even in total darkness.

Mounting the recessed sensor modules of the S15D is extremely easy: Plug the connec tion cable into the sensor module and secure it with the bayonet catch, attach the hinged ferrite, drill a circular hole (diameter: at least 43mm), feed through the cable and sensor module from the front, secure it with a nut, plug the connection cable into the core mod ule and secure it. You‘re done!

Step 1: Plug in connection cable and

secure with bayonet catch, attach hinged ferrite

Flexible and Future-Proof

The system can easily be matched to suit the location‘s requirements, thanks to a range of available sensor modules. Replacing the sensor modules at a later stage to change the focal lengths is quick and easy, as is upgrading from one to two sensor modules.

S15 Camera Manual: Product Overview

1.1.3 Advantages and New Features

The high-resolution S15 FlexMount is a universally deployable, highly innovative and easily concealable camera system. A powerful successor to the S14, the S15 features ﬁvemegapixel image sensors. Since the live or recorded images displayed by an S15 sensor have a maximum size of 3072x2048 (6MP) bzw. 2592x1944 (5MP) pixels, the S15 is clearly superior to the previous model in terms of image quality and frame rate.

Smooth HiRes Video Streams

The modiﬁed hardware of the S15 transmits the camera‘s video streams even more smoothly than the high-performance S14, even when high resolution is required. Since image streams of 16 frames per second and higher are perceived as smooth video by the human eye, the maximum frame rate is limited to 30 frames per second (when using MEGA resolu tion of 1280x960) in order to provide sucient camera processing power for other tasks.

Conclusive Still Images

Thanks to the proprietary MxPEG video codec developed exclusively for MOBOTIX cameras, the cameras oer the advantage that a recording can be paused at any given point and still provide meaningful and useful snapshots due to the absence of distortion. This is essential for security applications and allows individuals or license plates to be identiﬁed, for example. In contrast, the H.264 standard, which was developed for feature movies and is favored by some video security providers, cannot achieve this with the required level of quality.

Good Color Images Even in Low Light

The more light-sensitive an image sensor is, the better the image quality, especially when the ambient light level is low, such as at dusk and in heavy rainfall. The S15 oers the best MOBOTIX image quality that is currently available thanks to the light sensitivity provided by the ﬁve-megapixel color sensor that is four times higher than that of the previous three-megapixel color sensor.

Black and White Images Now Up to 6Megapixels in Size

The S15 is the ﬁrst MOBOTIX camera worldwide to also feature a 6MP night sensor that can deliver black and white images up to 3072x2048 pixels in size. This means that the image resolution is more than four times higher than the predecessor’s night image sen sor with 1.3 megapixels.

World’s ﬁrst Dual Thermal Camera

The new thermal sensor modules measure the thermal radiation of objects, delivering clear thermal images even in absolute darkness. Together with the MxActivitySensor, they can reliably detect motion in images at night– where only changes in position will trigger a signal. Objects moving on the spot do not trigger a signal. The thermal sensor modules also have an advantage during the day, as they can detect moving objects in shadows, semi-darkness, smoke or behind bushes.

MxActivitySensor

The S15 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.

MOBOTIX Mounts– Flexible Installation Options

Whether in ceilings, behind faceplates or built into other devices, the MOBOTIX mounts provide ﬂexible solutions for every application scenario. The HaloMount installs sensor modules into ceilings as easily as halogen spot lamps, the SpeakerMount with integrated speaker provides the audio output. If two sensor modules are to be installed side-by-side with the same viewing direction, you can use the DualMount (e.g. for Day/Night sensor modules). Two sensor modules looking into opposite directions? This is calling for the SurroundMount (e.g. for long hallways). The AudioMount, complete with installed S15M is glued to the back of a faceplate in order to provide door station functionality. The BlockFlexMount sensor modules allow installing the S15D with up to two sensor modules into any device.

Low Power Consumption in Accordance with the PoE Standard (IEEE 802.3af)

An S15 uses no more power than its predecessor (typically 4.5watts), despite the new sensor technology. Adjusting the PoE class via the camera software also enables the use of PoE switches that cannot be operated on all ports with PoE class 3 (up to max. 12.95V). If an S15D is used with one or two thermal sensor modules, PoE Class3 is required.

view can be displayed as a dual image that combines both sensor modules.

The primary components of a hemispheric camera include a ﬁsheye lens, a high-resolution image sensor, and image correction software that is integrated into the camera. Using an ultra-wide angle lens, the hemispheric camera captures a 180°-hemispheric image of the room and projects it onto a high-resolution image sensor.

Hemispheric panorama view

When ceiling mounted, the image area of the hemispheric camera covers the entire room. The image in the hemisphere is convex, particularly near the image borders. These image sections are corrected for the viewer by the integrated distortion correction software, allowing a view of the scene from the usual perspective. The virtual PTZ feature allows you to enlarge or move image sections within the hemisphere just like PTZ camera, yet without the need for mechanical moving parts. Hemispheric cameras lack mechanical moving parts and require low maintenance. In addition, they are silent when panning and focusing on a speciﬁc image area.

Handle Several Image Sections at Once

One or more image sections can be corrected for perspective in the hemispheric view, allowing you to monitor and record several dierent areas of a room at the same time, something that a mechanical PTZ camera is not capable of doing.

Everything Stored in the Recording

Traditional optical PTZ cameras can only record what is being viewed live. The virtual PTZ feature from MOBOTIX allows users to pan to other areas at a later stage in the recording because the entire room can be recorded as a hemispheric image.

S15D: Perfect Overview in Two Rooms, Day and Night

A world ﬁrst, the S15D provides the option of using two hemispheric sensor modules within a single camera. This way, two entirely separate spaces – next to or on top of each other, indoors or outdoors – can be secured simultaneously using just one camera.

19/156

The S15D can also be used as a hemispheric day/night camera. The black-and-white and color sensor modules are mounted directly next to each other so they cover the same area (we recommend an installation with DualMount MOBOTIX accessory). The camera automatically chooses the best available mode depending on the lighting conditions: either the color sensor with daylight lens or the black and white image sensor with infrared lens

The hemispheric image (original full image) can also be transformed into an ultra-wide angle panoramic view if the camera is mounted on a wall, providing a view of the room without any blind spots from wall to wall. It oers a substantially better view of the scene, compared to other cameras, and it also results in the need for fewer cameras overall.

S15 Camera Manual: Product Overview

1.1.5 Decentralized Video System

Usually, cameras only supply images, while processing and recording take place later on a central PC using video management software. This centralized structure has too many limitations for high-resolution video systems since it requires high network bandwidth and the PC processing power is insucient when using several high-resolution cameras. Due to the large number of computers and servers required, traditional centralized systems are therefore becoming less suitable and cost eective.

As part of the decentralized MOBOTIX concept, every camera features a high-speed processor, and, if necessary, digital long-term ﬂash memory (MicroSD card) can be integrated to provide several days of recording time. The com puter or video control center is required only to view and control the cameras, not to evaluate and record video. This means that you do not have to rely on expensive, overloaded video management software as most of the important functions that require a large amount of processing power are integrated into the MOBOTIX cameras themselves.

Integrated sensors enable MOBOTIX cameras such as the S15 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 S15 is equipped with a shock detector as standard (for all IT and Secure models). For example, if the camera receives a blow to the housing, it can simultaneously take a video of the oender, trigger a sound alarm and notify the security company by a SIP call. Due to the build quality and absence of moving parts, MOBOTIX cameras are extremely tough. This typically allows them to stay fully operational especially when they are subject to strong vibrations.

All MOBOTIX cameras are backlight-proof and are not adversely aected by the glare from direct sunlight. They deliver meaningful, detailed images at all times as the camera software supports easy programming of independent exposure windows, making them ideal for rooms with large glass fronts.

In the event of an alarm, MOBOTIX S15 camerascan also record lip-synchronous audio. The cameras therefore play an important role in analyzing and clarifying a situation. Thanks to an integrated speaker and microphone, 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.

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 pixel technology

•

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

Technical Speciﬁcations

Focal Lengths of MOBOTIX Lenses

The focal lengths of MOBOTIX lenses are always relating to 35mm camera format. For example, the MOBOTIX L20-L23 Super Wide-Angle lens has a true focal length of 3.6mm. Converted to 35mm format, this translates to a 20mm lens on a 6MP image sensor and a 23mm lens on a 5MP image sensor. You can use this focal length to easily compare image formats and angles of view. In addition, you can set this value on common 35mm or digital still cameras to the focal length (Lxx) of a MOBOTIX lens to check if the resulting image suits the requirements for this camera.

A. Mixed operation B. Dual thermal operation

The following combinations of thermal sensor modules are possible for an S15D:

Mixed operation (1 thermal sensor module, 1 optical sensor module): The advantages of an S15D with thermal sensor module and simultaneous daylight sensor lie in the combination of both images: brilliant 6/5-megapixel images during the day and in twilight hours and reliable motion detection at night.

B. Dual thermal operation (2 thermal sensor modules): two thermal images of two

dierent detection areas with only one camera.

1.5.1 Integrated Camera Sof tware (Firmware)

MOBOTIX cameras and connected MxBus modules operate with built-in ﬁrmware whose functions are accessed by the MOBOTIX MxManagementCenter remote stations and MOBOTIX App.

The S15 models therefore also feature a variety of functions that are integrated in the ﬁrmware: from motion detection and long-term storage right through to alarm notiﬁcation via video IP telephony. The virtual PTZ functions allow you to continuously zoom into or out of a MOBOTIX camera image using either the mouse wheel or a joystick.

When recording image or video sequences, you can choose to store either the section of the live image that is visible 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.

Unlike in the camera systems from other manufacturers, there is no need to buy and install additional software on your computer thanks to the MOBOTIX ﬁrmware that can be accessed directly in a web browser via the camera IP address. Instead of using a web browser, you can also download the free MxManagementCenter video management software from the MOBOTIX website (www.mobotix.com> Support) to quickly display multiple cameras on one monitor or on an entire video wall, switch alarms with sound or conveniently search for an event.

S15 Camera Manual: Installation

2 INSTALLATION

The S15 FlexMount is designed for concealed installation in ceilings, walls, behind panels or in existing or specially manufactured housings. The independent sensor models, each with a max. 3m/9.8ft long cable, mean the S15D can oer a number of options when selecting the installation location. The installation position of the sensor modules is crucial here. The camera module itself can then be installed in an appropriate place on the wall or ceiling (taking the maximum cable length to the sensor modules into account).

The following questions should be answered before mounting the MOBOTIX S15:

1. Where and how will the camera be mounted?

2. Where and how should the sensor modules be mounted?

3. What accessories might be needed?

4. How is the camera connected to the network and how is the power supplied?

5. How are the connections furnished from the building?

6. What cabling considerations are necessary?

The following sections in this chapter should answer all these questions. If anything is unclear or you have more questions, please contact your MOBOTIX partner or MOBOTIX Support directly. Contact information can be found at www.mobotix.com under Support.

2.1 Determining the Installation Position

The installation options indicated in both the following sections are examples of the most common applications for a S15 FlexMount. Many other installation ideas (for example, with customized lens units) can also be successfully implemented thanks to the robust weatherproof design (IP66) and compact shape of the sensor modules and the camera housing.

Please remember that:

1. The S15D sensor modules must always be mounted so as to avoid the constant accumulation or any collection of water or other liquid around the cable connection on the back of the housing. Otherwise this could lead to a build-up of condensation inside the sensor module and its subsequent failure.

Unused connectors on the housing of the S15 must always be sealed using the plugs installed as standard on delivery as well as the corresponding retainers.

Only original MOBOTIX cables should be used to connect the sensor modules, patch cables and USB cables in order to guarantee weather resistance according to IP66. The plugs supplied must be used if additional cables are required (MxBus, audio.

The lower (blue) part of the camera housing must face downwards so that any water running o the housing cannot accumulate around the connectors.

Determining the Installation Position



2.1.1 Positioning a Hemispheric Camera

A hemispheric camera is primarily suited to providing an excellent overview, and less suitable for more exact details. Due to its inherent physical and optical properties, the precision of the lens decreases as the distance from the lens grows. This means that themaximum usable image area greatly varies with the purpose of the camera. People, for example, may be identiﬁed very well at distances of up to 1.5m/5ft, and with sucient detail at up to 3m/10 ft. Objects can be recognized even at distances of 5m/16.4ft and more from the camera.

69/156

Discreet ceiling installation with minimally visible technology

Ceiling-Mounted

A single S15 sensor module can monitor an entire room right into each of the four corners (360° Panorama View) thanks to its hemispheric lens. The camera should ideally be positioned on the ceiling in the center of the room. Rooms with a square ﬂoor area of up to approx. 40m² generally allow the recognition of detail even at the borders of the full image. If you would only like to know if persons enter a room or to monitor speciﬁc objects, rooms with a ﬂoor area of well over 100m² can also be monitored using a single sensor module.

tance of an object to the camera focus point incre-

S15 Camera Manual: Installation

Rectangular Rooms

When viewing a 360° panaroma image in the browser, you will notice that the top and bottom of the image are not fully visible, i.e., some image information has been clipped. This is not the fault of the camera, but 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 turn the S15 sensor module in rectangular rooms so that the area marked with two arrows or the rotary plug in a S15M (= top border or North of displayed image) is pointing towards one of the longer walls of the room.

Determining the Installation Position

Wall-Mounting

To make optimal use of the high-resolution 180° panorama functionality of a hemispheric camera, the lens or sensor module must be mounted on an inside or outside wall. The entire hemisphere of the room directly in front of the camera is then eectively monitored, from the wall on the left of the camera to the wall on the right. Corresponding ﬁne-tuning in the user interface software allows the displayed panorama image to be adjusted to dierent practical applications at any time..

Recommendation: Mounting the camera in the middle of the wall

S15 Camera Manual: Installation

Selecting an Appropriate Camera Position

During installation, ensure that the camera is focused on the most important areas of the room as directly as possible in order to provide the desired level of detail recognition (camera focus). The S15 should be installed on a wall such that the two arrows on the back of the sensor module housing (S15D) or the rounded side of the camera housing (S15D/S15M) are pointing towards the ceiling.

Wall Installation with 15° Wedge for Image Optimization

Wall mounting with lenses tilting downwards is recommended in many cases for optimiz ing image quality. In particular for wall installations that must be carried out at greater heights for technical or other reasons (over doors, windows, etc.,) adding a slight tilt to the camera, and thus also the lens, will return better results, as the center of the lens is then focused more directly on the center of activity in the room (optimal utilization of lens capabilities). MOBOTIX therefore oers easy to install mounting accessories with a 15° tilt for the S15D sensor modules.

The S15D with a single hemispheric L10-L12 sensor module therefore essentially oers the same range of functions as a standard hemispheric camera like the Q25M, but has the added advantage that it can be installed even more inconspicuously and almost completely hidden. While the sensor modules can record audio data via integrated microphones, an external speaker can be connected directly to the camera and positioned in an appropri

ate place. If the sensor module microphones are not used, an additional microphone can also be connected directly to the camera.

Hemispheric Day and Night Camera with Sensor Modules D10/N10 (6MP) or D12/ N12 (5MP)

The S15D is the ﬁrst hemispheric dual camera for use in extremely variable lighting condi

tions equipped with two hemispheric lenses each with a black/white and color sensor. It is important in terms of mounting, whether on a wall or ceiling, that both the camera’s sensor modules are positioned directly next to each other and in parallel (arrows on sen

sor modules pointing in the same direction) in order to see the same image area as a color image during the day and as a black/white image at night.

It should be ensured when selecting installation sites that each of the sensor cables do not exceed 3m/9.8 ft (5MP – 2 m/6.6ft). The theoretical maximum distance between the two sensor modules of a S15D where the base module is placed centrally is therefore 6m/19.7ft (5MP – 4m/13.1ft).

Caution

If there is a risk of water collecting on the back of the sensor modules (for example, in outdoor areas or in the event of extreme humidity), the modules should not be installed pointing downwards!

The S15D monitors two separate rooms

S15 Camera Manual: Installation

The S15D can, however, also be deployed at shorter distances between the two sensor modules with surprising results:

• Two adjacent areas separated by a dividing wall, shelves, ﬂoor or other form of screen can be captured without any blind spots using a S15D.

• In L-shaped rooms, both sensor modules are simply positioned at right angles. A S15D therefore captures the entire room without any blind spots.

The S15D can see “around corners”

• tions in particularly long, narrow rooms (for example, hotel corridors, buses, aircraft, railroad cars, etc.) delivers double hemispheric images of up to 6 megapixels that, in terms of sharpness of detail, signiﬁcantly outperforms a single hemispheric camera with just one lens. For these kinds of installations, MOBOTIX will soon oer an appropriate mount in the range of accessories available for the S15 (SurroundMount). The slight downward tilt of the two sensor modules allows the area directly underneath them to be captured without any blind spots.

Wall-Mounting

Mounting a S15D sensor module on a wall, for example, on basic partition walls or fake walls with cavities behind the wall covering, is just as easy as mounting on a ceiling. Drill a hole 45mm/1.77in diameter, ﬁt the sensor module, ﬁx from behind with a locknut and connect to the base module. Depending on the installation height and the required cam era focus, the camera can be installed with or without the wedge with 15° tilt available as an accessory.

MOBOTIX also oers the appropriate installation accessories for mounting the sensor module on thicker walls. Longer “tunnel holes” through a wall can also be bridged using several extension pieces (each approx. 40mm/1.6 in). The maximum wall thickness is therefore only limited by the length of the sensor cable depending on the installation position of the base module, which is in theory 3m/9.8ft.

2.1.3 S15M FlexMount Installation Options

Unlike the S15D, the S15M has just one lens, which does not have a ﬂexible sensor cable, but is directly connected to the camera housing. Contrary to conventional single-lens cameras, the S15M has come up with a very neat trick:

The camera housing can be mounted concealed behind a wall up to 6.4mm/0.25in thick (wood paneling, stainless steel panel, etc.) with a round opening measuring 34mm/1.34in. The S15M can simply be ﬁxed behind the wall and leave only the lens visible.

34mm/1.34in

max. 6.4mm/

This allows the following installation options:

• Wall- and ceiling-mounting behind correspondingly thin or countersunk panels/ cover plates.

• Individual mounting solutions such as installation in industrial equipment, paneling, air ducts, mail boxes, homemade mounts, etc.

Note on AudioMount

This installation frame with self-adhesive rear side allows quick mounting of the S15M behind stainless steel panels or similar materials. The mount includes pre-installed microphone and speaker.

2.2.2 Notes on Cable Lengths and Power Supply

•

Power is supplied to the camera via the camera Ethernet connection (patch or installation cable). We recommend using a MOBOTIX PoE adapter or another similar high-quality PoE product to loop-in the power supply:

– One camera: with the PoE adapter (MX-NPA-PoE or MX-NPA-Box)

– 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/110yd.

• Make sure that you only use switches or routers that support the 10/100Mbps network interface of the camera.

•

We highly recommend using uninterruptible power supplies (UPS) to provide backup power.

• If you are using IEEE 802.3af or IEEE 802.3at (PoE+) 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.

1. Insert the cable/plug.

2. Push the triple retainer down (towards the base plate) until it clicks into place.

8. Feed the sensor cable through the nut and secure the sensor module and mounted extensions using that nut. If you need to seal o the sensor module against the wall, you should apply silicone sealant before tighten ing the nut.

If you install a S15D with automatic day/night switching, make sure to connect the D11 (day) sensor module on the Cam1 and the N11 (night) sensor module on Cam2

9. Attach the sensor cable of the ﬁrst sensor module to the Cam1 connector and the sensor cable of the second sensor module to the Cam2 connector of the S15D (pull the blue triple cable retainer up, remove the plug, insert the sensor cable and push the cable retainer down again).

2.3.3 Plugging in and Removing Extensions

The extensions are ﬁxed onto the sensor modules (or other extensions) with the help of a bayonet catch.

Attaching Extensions

1. Turn the sensor module so that the larger lobe (red arrow on the illustration) is at the front. The other three lobes are smaller and do not protrude (blue arrows).

www.mobotix.com • sales@mobotix.com

Page 93

Installing the S15D FlexMount

2. Turn the extension so that the larger lobe on the extension is slightly oset from the lobe on the sensor module (see blue box in the illustration on the right). Push the extension with the notches onto the sensor module.

3. Turn the extension in a clockwise direction until it clicks into place (viewed from the right). The extension will lock automatically and will not turn, even if the nuts are loosened.

Note

Make sure that the extensions are always connected as described in Step 2. Attaching the extensions incorrectly will damage the bayonet catch and may result in the nuts not being properly attached.

Removing Extensions

Proceed as follows to loosen and undo an extension lock:

1. Push the extension towards the sensor module to unlock it.

Turn the extension in an anti-clockwise direction (viewed

2. from the back) to open the bayonet catch.

All the cables to be connected there (Ethernet installation cable, MxBus, microphone, speaker) are then no longer accessible and the connector for the network patch cable can only be accessed with diculty. The triple lock for connecting the MiniUSB cable can no longer be opened either. This is why you should connect the camera network cables, a MiniUSB cable, if required, and additional cables (MxBus, microphone, speaker)

before mounting the camera

«Network and Power Connection, Additional Cables»

as described in

Section 2.5,

The drilling templates can be found at the end of the manual

Always print or copy drilling templates in their original size

2.4.2 Attaching the S15M Camera Housing

Use the drilling template supplied (at the end of this manual) to mark the position of the drilling holes for the camera. Make sure that it is not scaled down when printing or copying the drilling template.

Make sure the camera is mounted on an even surface. If this is not the case, there is a risk that the housing plate will move and the housing will begin to leak.

Installing the S15M FlexMount

Attachment to a Rear Wall

If the S15M is attached with the base plate on a rear wall (and then, for example, to a separate stainless steel cover), the camera can be mounted in just a few steps:

1. If necessary, mark the drill holes at the intended mounting position, drill the holes for the base plate and hammer in the 6mm dowels supplied.

2. If this has not been done already, insert the cable tie needed to ensure that less strain is placed on the connection cable into the slot provided below in the base plate without closing it.

3. Screw on the S15M with the 4×40mm screws included (or other suitable screws) and washers (with a diam. of4.3mm).

4. Mark the hole for the camera lens in the cover using the drilling template for the S15M and drill a hole there with a 35mm/1.38in diameter.

5. Place the cover over the camera and the cables.

Attachment Behind Screens, Walls or Ceiling Elements

This type of mounting can be completed using various attachment elements.

• Bonded nuts with stud bolts, nuts and washers as shown in the illustration.

• Thicker materials (greater than 6.4mm/0.25in) need to be machined accordingly in order to accommodate the camera housing. They can then be attached using anchor nuts or screw sockets as well as stud bolts, nuts and washers or similar.

Make sure that there is enough space behind the mounting surface for the camera and that the pressure equalization of the camera is also free after mounting.

95/156

1. Mark the hole for the camera lens in the cover using the drilling template for the S15M and drill a hole there with a 35mm/1.38in diameter.

2. Mark the places on the mounting surface where the nuts are to be placed with the help of the drilling template.

3. Tighten the stud bolts, nuts and washers.

4. Place the camera from behind onto the prepared attachment elements and screw the camera on tightly (secure nuts with a screw locking device to prevent them from becoming loose).
