Q25M Camera Manual

FOREWORD

Dear MOBOTIX customer,

Congratulations on your decision to purchase a professional and modern HiRes

network camera “Made in Germany”! The Q25M provides 360-degree overview

with only one hemispherical lens. This means that you only need one camera

to monitor the entire room right into all four corners. The ﬁsheye distortion

that is typical for this kind of lens is automatically corrected by the camera

software in the live image. Add to that the proven advantages that are

inherent to the MOBOTIX concept, such as the integrated event, alarm and

telephone features and the modern long-term storage directly in the camera

with all of its beneﬁts.

The weatherproof MxBus and MiniUSB interfaces of the camera allow attaching

MOBOTIX interface boxes and standard devices, such as 3G/UMTS modems, external storage devices, etc. The integrated 4 GB SD card ﬂash storage is easily exchanged for larger storage requirements, providing for secure long-term storage.

The introduction of the newest ﬁve-megapixel sensor technology with increased light sensitivity not only generates more brilliant images with more details, it also delivers color images of higher quality under lowlight conditions. Another improvement – The Q25M-Basic now generates HD images (1280x 720 pixels) instead of the VGA images of predecessor models (640x 480 pixels).

You can download the MxEasy and MxControlCenter video management software for MOBOTIX cameras and the manuals from the MOBOTIX website: www.mobotix.com> Support> Software Downloads. For the iPad, iPhone and iPod touch iOS devices, MOBOTIX oers the MOBOTIX App, a free-of-charge mobile solution that is easily found when searching for “MOBOTIX AG” in the App Store.

If you have any questions, our support and international sales sta are available at intl-support@mobotix.com

from Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm (German time).

We would like to thank you for your trust and wish you all the best with your new MOBOTIX camera Q25M Hemispheric!

1 PRODUCT OVERVIEW

1.1 Q25M Hemispheric

1.1.1 General Product Characteristics

Innovative Hemispherical Technology for the Perfect Room Overview

The MOBOTIX Q25M Hemispheric camera is an elegant, ultra-compact and weatherproof

IP network dome camera with a special hemispheric lens (ﬁsheye). When mounted on the

ceiling, the camera is capable of providing full 360° allround view or a 180° widescreen

panorama when mounted on a wall. 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 cameras.

High-Resolution 180° Panorama (Wall-Mounted)

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 Q25M delivers a widescreen image of a high-resolution 180° allround view. High image quality is achieved through the use of a ﬁve-megapixel sensor and the new hemispheric lens.

Panorama Focus – One Camera, Three Views (Wall-Mounted)

Maximum room overview while simultaneously viewing detail in a single image: the Q25M is capable of providing two more views at the same time with the 180° panorama, allowing you to focus on two scenes in parallel ("Panorama Focus" display mode).

Double Panorama for a Simultaneous View in Two Directions (Ceiling-Mounted)

When the camera is mounted in the center of the ceiling of a room, "Double Panorama"

display mode provides a corrected panorama image of both halves of the room. It cor

responds roughly with the situation of personally standing in the middle of the room and being able to look both forwards and backwards at the same time. A superb overview for the user – provided by a single Q25M camera alone.

Full Image and Normal View

With innovative MOBOTIX Hemispheric Technology, an entire room can be ideally monitored.

For instance, one single, particularly elegant and discreet, Q25M replaces the time-consuming and expensive installation of several standard cameras. The overview image provided by a single Q25M, which may be tailored in a number of ways according to speciﬁc user require

ments, 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.

In addition to Panorama, Double Panorama and Panorama Focus views, the Q25M image

may be displayed on a monitor in the original ﬁsheye version ("Full Image" display mode),

the camera-corrected full image ("Normal" display mode) and in a quad view of all four directions ("Surround" display mode). Switching to a dierent display mode is possible at any time within seconds.

Surround View: Quad

Surround View (Quad View), Based on the Correct Full Image

The Q25M “Surround” display mode replaces (when ceiling mounted) four cameras, and shows four directions simultaneously on the monitor in a quad view. The preset North

position can be moved to any direction in the image; the camera generates the other three directions (East, South, West) automatically and stores them as separate views.

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 reduce user workload, the Q25M can store in addition to the North, East, South and West standard

views, a total of 256 user-deﬁned 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 by moving

through the North, East, South and West views or by showing the ﬁrst 16 saved camera views (one after

the other like in a slide show).

Complete HiRes Video Solutions by MOBOTIX

As opposed to conventional solutions, MOBOTIX cameras with their decentralized approach oer so much more – state-of-the-art, network-based video security technology that

increases operating eciency and yields a high degree of every-day usefulness.

Extraordinary Picture Quality

Image quality is the one key criterion of a security camera. Due to their internal video

analysis and data storage capabilities, the decentralized MOBOTIX systems are indepen

dent of the available network bandwidth. As a result, the system provides for eciently storing and managing the video streams of a virtually unlimited number of cameras with

the highest resolution at a reasonable cost.

Five-Megapixel Image Sensors (5MP)

MOBOTIX cameras possess high-resolution image sensors with 5megapixel resolution and excellent light sensitivity, which translates into more details when zooming and more clear-cut advantages for every user. By using the 5MP technology in their color and black&white image sensors, MOBOTIX cameras deliver convincing image quality and details even in bad weather and under lowlight conditions. Another important plus:

thanks to its internal pre-processing of the image data, the camera can generate video streams with up to 30 frames per second.

QXGA Image Format: 2.5 Times More Detail Than Full HD

The 5MP sensor has a resolution of 2592x 1944 pixels on both day and night sensors.

While the image sensor shows its full strength when zooming the live image, the maximum

image size per sensor has the more user-friendly QXGA format.

Low Light Conditions– No Problem

The maximum resolution of the color and black&white image sensors is 5megapixels. The higher light sensitivity of the new color image sensors now allow using MOBOTIX color cameras around the clock even when the illumination is low.

MxLEO: Exposure Optimization and Reduced Image Noise

MxLEO– the MOBOTIX Lowlight Exposure Optimization– is an innovative technology that

provides an entirely new experience in digital image optimization in all cameras running ﬁrmware 4.1.9 and higher. On the one hand, the improved light sensitivity of the MOBOTIX 5MP sensors drastically reduces exposure times. MxLEO, the exposure and image optimi

zation program especially developed for these conditions, on the other hand, generates

perceptibly better and more detailed images especially under low-light conditions below 25Lux. Such conditions are typical at a parking lot at night that is illuminated by regular

lights (approx. 10 to 25Lux). Or in a building after hours, in which the emergency lights are burning (approx. 5Lux). This signiﬁcantly reduces motion blur that is typical of longer exposure times with little light and thus provides much more image detail (faces, license

plates, etc.) for proper identiﬁcation.

Virtual PTZ (vPTZ) – No Motor Required

The vPTZ functionality works dierently depending on the camera operation platform (web browser, MxEasy, MxControlCenter). Virtual zoom, pan and tilt using MxEasy and MxControlCenter is very simple thanks to special software tools and the use of an optional joystick. However, a joystick may also be used even with pure browser-based operation from Internet Explorer (together with an ActiveX plug-in).

Virtual PTZ (vPTZ) – No Motor Required

The Q25M can zoom in on detail as well. These vPTZ functions are a standard

feature in the integrated Q25M camera software. The image from the hemispheric

camera can be enlarged using e.g. the mouse wheel, a joystick or a software-

controlled PTZ panel, and you can "move" the view to any section of the image.

This provides the features of a mechanical PTZ camera without the disadvantages

of maintenance and wear.

Simultaneous Corrected 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 Q25M. 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 or image correction. When examining the recorded images, the vPTZ features again come into play, as they allow zooming the visible image and use the pan/tilt features to examine every corner of the recorded full image.

Integrated vPTZ functions allow "analysis" of the complete saved full image at a later point in time (in MxEasy and MxControlCenter)

Example: The people marked by the red circle in the middle area of the image would not have been recorded by a regular PTZ camera; the full image recording of the Q25M allows to determine for example, the exact time at which the people entered the image area recorded by the camera. A Browser (Internet Explorer with MxPEG ActiveX plug-in),

MxControlCenter or MxEasy can be used to examine the recorded sequences.

Maximum Ease of Use

The full image generated by the hemispherical lens (ﬁsheye) can be dicult to evaluate.

MOBOTIX solves this problem with image distortion correction in the camera software that displays perfectly corrected live images. The user PC does not experience any additional

load through this process, as image correction and generation of all desired image views

takes place in the camera itself. The result is that a large number of panoramic cameras may be displayed simultaneously on a single PC.

Highly Ecient, Application-Oriented Image Transfer

While other camera systems must transport the full QXGA image over the network for

further processing, a MOBOTIX camera will only transmit the desired image sections. This means that a Q25M panorama image will only require a small part of the usual data and

bandwidth. Data from up to six times as many MOBOTIX cameras may be transported over the same network compared to “standard” cameras.

Internal DVR

The Q25M secure models feature 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 saves high-resolution video with sound, with

out requiring an external storage device or PC, and thus without any network load whatsoever. Old recordings may be overwritten automatically or automatically deleted after a speciﬁed period of

time. A 16GB MicroSD card, for example, allows the camera to store more than a quarter million event images in VGA format (640x480). For security reasons, the camera can even encrypt

the stored data.

Power failures are not an issue, as the video and image sequences remain safely stored on the MicroSD card. Access to stored video sequences is possible at any time from the camera user interface in the browser, MxControlCenter or MxEasy. If you would like to archive sequences, you can store all of the data or only certain parts to a computer or a hard disk.

MxActivitySensor Video Motion Analysis: Secure Detection, Avoiding False Alarms

Regardless if there are large objects in the foreground or small objects in the background–

MxActivitySensor will only trigger video recording and alarm messaging if something

important is happening. Interference such as trees shaking in the wind, moving shadows and clouds and snow falling will no longer lead to false alarms. Since all of this is ﬁltered automatically, all that remains is to set the direction of movement of objects that should

trigger alarms.

Camera Design Creates New Applications

Some application scenarios beneﬁt from a surveillance camera that is present, but without attracting attention. The low-key, elegant appearance of the camera, especially when

installed with the In-Ceiling set, makes the Q25M an optimum solution where discreet design and an inconspicuous look are important. Hotels and restaurants present an

ideal example, but installations in public buildings, waiting rooms and showrooms are also highly suitable.

Q25M Hemispheric

www.mobotix.com • sales@mobotix.com

The integrated DVR functionality with long-term storage on a MicroSD card also makes

the camera an ideal solution for mobile applications since it only requires a power supply

via the network cable (standard PoE) for full event-driven recording with video and audio,

thus delivering a complete standalone product. Application examples in this context are installations in public transportation such as busses, trains, aboard ships, airplanes, etc.

Model Versions

The Q25M is available in Secure and Basic models, which come with dierent features.

Both models can also be ordered with an L25 Super Wide-Angle lens with a horizontal image angle of 82°.

selected 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.

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.

Handling 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.

Special Hemispheric Image Views

Panorama

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.

Panorama Focus

Maximum room overview while simultaneously viewing detail in a single image. A hemi

spheric sensor module can also provide two additional views so that you can focus on

two detail scenes simultaneously in addition to the panorama view.

Double Panorama

When the camera is mounted in the center of the ceiling in a room, the “Double Panorama”

display mode provides a corrected panorama image of both halves of the room. It cor

responds roughly to the situation of personally standing in the middle of the room and

being able to look both forwards and backwards at the same time. This is a superb

overview for the user – provided by a single sensor module.

1.1.3 Advantages and New Features

The high-resolution Q25M Hemispheric is a universally deployable, highly innovative and easily concealable camera system. A powerful successor to the Q24M, the Q25M features a ﬁve-megapixel image sensor. For technical reasons, the live or recorded images dis-

played by a Q25M sensor have a maximum size of QXGA. However, the Q25M is clearly superior to its predecessor in terms of image quality and frame rate.

Smooth HiRes Video Streams

The modiﬁed hardware of the Q25M transmits the camera‘s video streams even more smoothly than the high-performance Q24M, 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 resolution of 1280x 960) in order to provide sucient camera processing power

for other tasks.

Conclusive Still Images

Thanks to the proprietary MxPEG video codec developed exclusively for MOBOTIX cameras,

the cameras oer the advantage that a recording can be paused at any given point and still provide meaningful and useful snapshots due to the absence of distortion. This is essential for security applications and allows individuals or license plates to be identiﬁed,

for example. In contrast, the H.264 standard, which was developed for feature movies and is favored by some video security providers, cannot achieve this with the required

level of quality.

Good Color Images Even in Low Light

The more light-sensitive an image sensor is, the better the image quality, especially when

the ambient light level is low, such as at dusk and in heavy rainfall. The Q25M 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 previously used

3.1-megapixel color sensor and the new MxLEO exposure control.

More Details When Zooming

The maximum zoom factor of the Q25M is 1.26 times higher than that of the Q24M due

to the use of ﬁve-megapixel technology. This means that the degree of detail provided

by the camera has improved by 26 percent. As a result, a Q25M can now be installed even further away than before from the objects and areas to be monitored. In addition,

this osets the slightly smaller horizontal image angles of the new ﬁve-megapixel sensors as compared to the Q25M.

Page 25

25/156

Q25M Hemispheric

www.mobotix.com • sales@mobotix.com

Black&White Image Sensor with Five Megapixels

You can now order the Q25M with a ﬁve-megapixel night sensor that can deliver black and white images with up to QXGA resolution. This results in larger images than those delivered by the previous 1.3-megapixel sensor with a perceptibly higher degree of details.

Basic Cameras Maximum Image Size Is Now HD Instead of VGA

The Q25M-Basic now generates HD images (1280x 720 pixels) instead of the VGA images of

predecessor models (640x 480 pixels). The special quality advantage of a MOBOTIX-Basic

camera with HD resolution (1280x 720): The HD images of a MOBOTIX are generated by

the high-resolution image sensor with 2592x 1944 pixels and are optimized and scaled down for the HD format. Because of the high-resolution sensor, the generated images– especially with respect to quality and light sensitivity– are noticeably superior than regular

HD cameras that are only using a simple HD sensor with 1280x 720 pixels.

MxActivitySensor

The Q25M provides an activity-controlled image analysis sensor as standard for detecting

the movements of people and objects in a deﬁned surveillance area (full image or section). The MxActivitySensor delivers reliable results particularly in outdoor area applications, in contrast to video motion detection that continues to be available and that registers all

image changes in deﬁned video motion windows. In the monitored area, the camera distinguishes between the continuous movements of vehicles, persons or objects that

trigger an alarm and movements that do not set o an alarm such as shadows, changing

light conditions and trees swaying in the wind.

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

A Q25M 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).

1.1.4 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 Q25M 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 Q25M 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 Q25M cameras can also record lip-synchronous audio. The cameras therefore play an important role in analyzing and clarifying a situa

tion. 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

1.1.5 Green IP Video

The modern, network-based video security technology oers numerous advantages to use energy eciently. Due to the special product and system properties, the decision to

install MOBOTIX video systems is also a decision for Green IP Video: low power consump

tion and environmental friendly because of long life expectancy and minimal amount of

materials involved.

Low Power Consumption

MOBOTIX cameras are cost-eciently supplied via PoE. This reduces the expenses for power and, in addition, saves copper and other important raw material as less power

cabling is necessary.

Robust

MOBOTIX IP65 cameras are highly robust and work – without high-power climate control

and extra protective housing – in a temperature range from –30 to +50°C/–22 to +122°F.

Modern

Integrated into the cameras are high-power processors and ﬂash storage, thus mak

ing energy-consuming servers and storage devices unnecessary. And, of course, the

disposal of waste later.

High Resolution

A hemispheric MOBOTIX camera with two image sensors replaces up to eight standard cameras – including their consumption of energy and resources.

Sustainable

Without mechanical components, MOBOTIX cameras are maintenance-free and stay fully functional, even after years – and are, thus, more sustainable compared to other systems.

Forward-Looking

Even previous camera models can be easily updated and then oer new functionalities. Remote updates via the internet and the fact that the cameras are maintenance-free

reduce trips by car, and, thereby, the negative eect on the environment.

1.2 Technical Speciﬁcations

1.2.1 Lens Options

MOBOTIX Q25M cameras come with a standard L12 ﬁsheye lens with a 180° horizontal image angle. The camera is also available with an L25 Super Wide-Angle lens with a horizontal image angle of 82°. The integrated virtual PTZ features of the camera software

or MxControlCenter/MxEasy properly correct the lens distortion that is speciﬁc to each of

the lenses. Both lenses deliver good image quality even when using maximum digital zoom. Since MOBOTIX cameras are backlight-proof, they do not require a mechanical auto iris, making them extremely robust and maintenance free.

Notes

The speciﬁed focal lengths of the 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 L25 Super Wide-Angle lens has an actual focal length of 4mm. This would be the equivalent of 25mm on a 35mm camera. It is therefore referred to as an L25. 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.

The focal lengths of MOBOTIX camera lenses refer to standard 35 mm cameras

2.1.1 Wall-Mounted

To make optimal use of the high-resolution 180° panorama functionality of the Q25M, the camera must be mounted on an internal or external 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 appli

cations (see

Selecting an Appropriate Camera Position

The Q25M is primarily suited to providing an excellent overview, and less suitable for more exact details. For active operation, the camera should be mounted at a (out of direct reach) height ranging from 2.5 to 3.5 m. People, for example, may be identiﬁed very well at distances of up to 1.5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 provide the desired level of detail recognition. For wall installation, use of the 10° On-Wall Set is ideal in many cases.

Hint: The Q25M should always be installed on a wall such that the arrow on the camera housing marked OBEN / TOP points towards the ceiling of the room.

Wall Installation with the 10° On-Wall Set for Image Optimization

An on-wall set, available as an accessory in 0° and 10° inclinations, may also be used for installation. While the 0° set primarily oers easier installation and more storage space for cables and add-on modules (WLAN, connectors, etc.), the 10° set may also increase the image quality in certain cases. In particular for wall installations which 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).

Wall Mounting Over a Wall Outlet

Professional wall or ceiling installation of a Q25M is generally possible without accessories. However, due to elevation of the rear casing of the camera caused by connections and holders, a wall outlet should be installed prior to camera installation (see drilling template Q25M). This provides perfect protection to the cabling, ensuring that it cannot be seen or damaged from outside.

2.1.2 Ceiling-Mounted

Thanks to its hemispherical lens, a single Q25M can monitor an entire room right into each of the four corners (360° Panorama View). The camera's should ideally be posi

tioned on the ceiling in the center of the room. 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 varies greatly depending on the intended purpose of the camera. Rooms with a square ﬂoor area of up to approx. 40m² in general allow recognizing details 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 of up to 100m² ﬂoor area can be monitored using a single Q25M.

Outdoors, the Q25M is usually mounted on a building wall, corner or pole instead of the ceiling. For this situation, we recommend the use of the practical wall mount from the

range of accessory products (see

Section 2.6

) or an extension.

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

increases: 1 very good, 2 good, 3 satisfactory

Non-Square Rooms

When viewing a 360° (full) image in the browser, you will notice that the top and bottom of the image is not fully visible, i.e. some image information has been clipped. This is not a fault of the camera, but intended behavior that aims at achieving the best possible uti

lization of the image sensor by the camera software. Bearing this in mind, it is advisable to install the Q25M in rectangular room ceilings so that the arrow marked OBEN/ TOP points towards one of the longer walls of the room as shown in the ﬁgure.

Q25M Camera Manual: Installation

www.mobotix.com • sales@mobotix.com

Lowered Mounting or Mounting on Extensions

When mounting the camera in rooms with a high ceiling , or outdoors, it may be advisable to mount the camera in a lower position. This reduces the distance between the camera and the objects that are to be monitored, which in turn increases the recognizability of details. One practical solution would be to install the camera on a base plate attached to a suitable extension (metal tube) hanging from the ceiling. The network cable can be hidden from view by running through the interior of the tube.

Similar to lowered mounting from the ceiling, you can also attach the camera to an extension mounted to a wall to better use the 360° image of the camera (e.g. outside, above a portal). Such an installation would use the pole mount accessory (MX-D22-OPT-MH) in conjunction with the wall mount (MX-D22-OPT-WH) as a sturdy base for the camera, which is then mounted to the extension pole.

MOBOTIX does not recommend attaching the camera directly to metal carriers, especially when mounting the camera outdoors or when the ambient temperature varies greatly. As an additional measure to protect the camera against condensation, you should use either the On-Wall set (MX-D22-OPT-AP) or the Wall Mount (MX-D22-OPT-WH).

Installation on Building Corners with the Corner and Pole Mount

This is a special method of Q25M installation, oering substantial advantages for the outdoor surveillance of buildings.

The hemispherical lens of a single Q25M can cover the entire 270° range from one building wall to the other, for an "around the corner" view!

For the installation on building corners, the Corner and Pole Mount and a Wall Mount will be needed

Never mount the camera to metal surfaces (condensation may damage the camera): MOBOTIX recommends using an On-Wall Mount or the Wall Mount

2.1.3 Mounting Options

On-Wall Installation (MX-OPT-AP)

The On-Wall Set can reliably protect external cables if the cables cannot be fed in the center below the camera housing. The On-Wall mount also provides ample space for extra modules.

On-Wall Installation with 10° Inclination (MX-OPT-AP-10DEG)

This On-Wall Set is identical to the regular On-Wall Set, except that the mounted camera is tilted by 10 degrees. The inclination makes it possible for the camera to deliver the best images even in demand

ing situations.

In-Ceiling Installation (MX-OPT-IC)

The In-Ceiling Set allows the Q25M camera to be installed in suspended ceilings, for example. This type of installation provides optimum protection for the camera and reduces the visible proﬁle to a minimum, since the camera only protrudes 24mm from the ceiling.

Vandalism Set (MX-Q25M-OPT-VANDAL)

The Vandalism Set provides added protection for Q25M cameras. The set consists of a robust stainless steel cover (matt or polished) and an impact-resistant polycarbonate dome. A camera equipped with the Vandalism Set is perfectly suited for applications in demanding environments (such as prisons, trouble areas, train stations, etc.).

Wall Mount (MX-OPT-WH)

The Q25M/D25M Wall Mount is the ideal solution for mounting the to walls for indoor and outdoor applications. The camera is absolutely dustproof and resistant against water jets (IP65). The wall mount also covers RJ45 wall outlets and has ample space for additional modules.

Corner and Pole Mount (MX-OPT-MH)

The MOBOTIX Corner and Pole Mount is the ideal choice when mounting the MOBOTIX Q25M to a pole or building corner (Panorama View covering approx 270°). This mount can only be used in conjunction with the wall mount. For poles with a diameter ranging from 60 to 180 mm.

2.1.4 Network Connection And Power Supply, UPS

Power Over Ethernet (PoE Conforming to IEEE 802.3af)

All Q25M models are supplied with power using the PoE standard. The Network Power Adapter (MX-NPA-PoE-Set) may be used for smaller installations. For larger installations, it is worth investing in a PoE capable supply device available on the market.

The maximum length of the network cable for power supply over an Ethernet cable is

100m. The Mx2wire+ media converter set (available as an accessory) can be used to

extend the range of an Ethernet connection up to 500m in length (maximum transmission speed for a 500-m cable: 45Mbps and 12W for the PoE device).

Note

The MOBOTIX Q25M can be powered by switches or routers which support the PoE (Power-over-Ethernet) standard and conform to IEEE 802.3af.

Advantages of PoE power supply:

• Allows setting up centralized backup power supply via the network.

• Reduces energy consumption.

• No extra network connection for camera required.

Using Uninterruptible Power Supplies (UPS)

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

When using a more powerful 19” rack-mounted UPS, you can also protect all other network components (for example, switches, routers, PoE switches, etc.).

Since MOBOTIX cameras do not require any heating, even during winter, the average power consumption of approx. 3.5watts is very low. This, in turn, means that you can centralize the UPS-protected power supply by injecting power into the Ethernet cables (max. 100m). This kind of protected power supply can be used either with MOBOTIX PoE products (MX-NPA-PoE + Universal Power Supply) or with PoE-compliant switches according to IEEE 802.3af.

2.1.5 Preparing the Camera Connections, MX-Overvoltage-Protection-Box

Once the camera position, the position of the cable outlets and the method of power supply have been decided upon, the cabling can be installed. Before installing the MOBOTIX Q25M, you should make sure that the network connections have been properly tested so that the proper functioning of the camera is guaranteed.

If the camera is to be installed outdoors, you should also install the MOBOTIX MX-Overvoltage-Protection-Box (optional accessory). This interface box not only provides

overvoltage protection of up to 4kV for MOBOTIX IP cameras

, it also provides simple

and weatherproof connection of the cameras to a network patch cable (

-RJ45

variant) or

a network installation cable (

-LSA

variant).

2.1.6 Wiring, Fire Prevention, Lightning and Surge Protection

When installing the wiring inside or outside of buildings, make sure you always adhere to the relevant regulations on wiring, ﬁre prevention and protection against lightning.

MOBOTIX cameras are protected against the 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 tech

nology for preventing damages from electrical surges.

Guidelines for Wiring

•

Data cable: Make sure you only use double-shielded CAT5 or higher cable (S/STP) for Ethernet connections.

•

Outdoors: Installing the camera outdoors requires special

precautions and measures regarding the cables as well as lightning and surge protection (see below).

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

Section 2.9

• 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 (e.g. VDE in Germany, IEEE in the USA) in eect on wiring and ﬁre prevention at the site of the installation.

2.3 Mounting the Camera with the On-Wall Set

2.3.1 Mounting Instructions

On-Wall sets available in 0° and 10° inclinations allow fast and simple installation of the Q25M on a wall or room ceiling. When using the set outdoors (IP65), ensure that the screw holes on the rear of the camera housing are sealed with the included foam rubber washers.

It is not possible to install the on-wall set directly above an on-wall or ﬂush-mounted outlet.

Installation using the 10° On-Wall Set is often the right choice if a Q25M is to be used as a panorama camera installed at a greater than usual height (3 m or higher). Tilting the lens in the direction of the center of activity in the room maximizes image quality. Consider the desired camera position carefully during installation!

If discreet appearance of the Q25M is of particular importance, the In-Ceiling Set for ceiling installation is the best possible choice (see

Section 2.6

The network connection and drill holes must be prepared correctly before installing the On-Wall Set (both indoors and outdoors):

• Network connection: You can use any one of the four openings in the On-Wall set to guide the cabling into the camera. The network cable must be fed through the opening without a connector. An additional connector to connect to the camera cable is required. When preparing for installation, keep in mind that the camera must later be positioned in the correct orientation, according to its purpose (OBEN / TOP arrow pointing upwards for wall installation, or in the direction of the longer wall for ceiling installation in rectangular rooms).

• Preparing the drill holes: Use the supplied drilling template for the Q25M On-Wall Set (fold-out at the end of this manual) to mark the position for drilling the anchor holes with regard to the camera position.

Caution

When using the On-Wall Set outdoors, ensure that the screw holes on the rear of the camera housing are sealed with the foam rubber washers included in delivery (IP65).

2.4 Mounting the Camera with the In-Ceiling Set

2.4.1 Mounting Instructions

The In-Ceiling Set oers the most stylish installation option for the Q25M. When properly installed, the only visible component is a particularly sleek and discreet hemispheric camera, while most of the remaining components are concealed inside the ceiling.

For these reasons, the Q25M installed with the In-Ceiling Set is the preferred option for most indoor spaces frequented by customers or the general public (e.g. hotels, restaurants, banks, retail stores, public buildings, etc.).

The common use of suspended ceilings in commercial and public buildings is an additional reason to place a preference on in-ceiling installation. The installation process is also simpliﬁed, as the network cable may be laid without diculty and only a 15cm diameter hole must be cut in the ceiling or ceiling component.

Before installing the MOBOTIX Q25M to an indoor location using the In-Ceiling Set, you must prepare the network connection and drill a hole for the camera:

• Network connection: The network cable is fed through the ceiling directly above the camera.

When preparing for installation, keep in mind (particularly with regard to cable slack) that the camera may later need to be repositioned in the correct orientation, according to its speciﬁc purpose (OBEN / TOP arrow pointing in the direction of the longer wall for ceiling installation in rectangular rooms).

• Cut a hole for installation: The hole should have a diameter of 150mm (see drilling template at the end of the manual).

The decorative ring is available in different colors and in stainless steel

2.6 Installing the Wall Mount

2.6.1 Mounting Instructions

The Wall Mount allows you to easily mount Q25M cameras to walls or extensions, both indoors and outdoors. The camera remains IP65 weatherproof (dust-proof and resistant to water jets). The Wall Mount also covers RJ45 wall outlets and has ample space for additional modules (WLAN, batteries, etc.).

Before mounting the MOBOTIX Q25M with the Wall Mount, you must prepare the network connection and drill the holes for the ﬁxtures:

•

The on-site network cabling is passed through the opening in the back of the wall mount. The cable and the required (standard) connector for the camera cable (patch cable) are ideally protected by a robust wall sealing made from foam rubber. Nothing is visible or accessible from the outside. The Wall Mount may be mounted directly on top of ﬂush or protruding wall outlets. Maximum width x height of the outlet: 88 mm x 80 mm.

•

Only use the Q25M factory installed patch cable (50 cm cable length) or a MOBOTIX cable of dierent length available from the range of accessories.

• All openings of the camera housing need to be closed o properly. This is the only way to guarantee that the camera remains weatherproof.

• The included screw anchors should be used for the drill holes in the wall. Use the supplied drilling template for the Q25M Wall Mount (fold-out at the end of this manual) to mark the position for drilling the holes and the holes through which the cables will later be fed.

2.7 Installing the Corner and Pole Mount

2.7.1 Mounting Instructions

The Corner and Pole Mount is made from stainless steel and is extremely robust and rustproof. It is used in combination with the Wall Mount described in

Section 2.6

, in the case that a Q25M is to be installed on a pole or building corner. The Wall Mount required for complete installation must be ordered separately.

The mounting pole should have a diameter between 60 and 180 mm. Thanks to the 360° panorama view from above, installing the camera on the corner of a building makes it possible to monitor a range of approximately 270° from one building wall to the other (around the corner) with one single Q25M camera.

By design, the Corner and Pole Mount cannot be mounted above a wall outlet for the camera cabling.

2.7.2 Mounting to a Pole

Use the supplied stainless steel straps to ax the Corner and Pole Mount to a pole.

• Guide the supplied stainless steel straps through the openings in the Corner and Pole Mount as shown in the diagram. Make sure that you are using the slots of the mount that ﬁt best for the thickness of the pole. The stainless steel straps allow attaching the mount to poles with diameters between 60 and 180mm.

• Guide the on-site network cable from behind through one of the large round holes of the Corner and Pole Mount.

Note: The cable length from the

pole should be at least 80cm!

• Tighten the stainless steel straps on the Pole Mount with a screwdriver. If necessary, the ends of the straps can be cut o.
