S16 Camera Manual: Product Overview

1.5 Available Accessories

1.5.1 DualMount

Order no.: MX-OPT-FM-PW
The DualMount provides for installing two sensor modules side-by-side with parallel lines of sight, making it the ideal installation solution for the S16 in day/night settings (both lenses are monitoring the same area). The DualMount is quickly and easily installed, it can be used with all available sensor modules and the lenses are tilted downwards by 25 degrees. In outdoor applications, this installation option can be installed without drawing much attention (beneath eaves, protruding construction elements, bridges, etc.).

1.5.2 SurroundMount

Order no.: MX-OPT-SM-PW
When dealing with long and narrow spaces (buses, airplanes, trains, etc.), this installation option allows positioning two hemispherical sensor modules pointing in opposite directions. The resulting dual hemispheric image with up to 10 megapixels displays a much higher degree of detail than a camera with only one hemispheric lens. To better support these types of installation, MOBOTIX oers the SurroundMount installation option for the S16. Since both sensor modules are tilted downwards by 25 degrees, the resulting images cover the entire area without any blind spots.
34
Note that you can use the SurroundMount only with L10-L12, L22-L25 and L43-L51 sensor modules (day or night variants).

1.5.3 HaloMount

Orderno.:MX-HALO-EXT-CM/CO/NG/PW/SW
The HaloMount is the perfect installation option to install sensor modules in rooms with in-ceiling lights. Using the same type of xtures as in-ceiling lights (QR-CBC/MR 16 LED Sharp Array 4/6 W), this mount comes in ve dierent colors (matt chrome, chrome, brushed Nickel, white, black). Since the inner ring can be tilted by up to 20 degrees, you can point the sensor module (and thus, the center of the image) to the center of the area that is to be monitored. The HaloMount has not been designed to be used in outdoor applications. Materials: Steel, inner ring brass; surface powder-coated or galvanized; installation diameter: 68 mm/2.7 in.
Page 35
Available Accessories

1.5.4 SpeakerMount

Order no.: MX-HALO-SP-PW/CM
The SpeakerMount, available from MOBOTIX in white or matt chrome, is an external speaker that can be directly connected to the S16/S16 (no additional power supply required). The high-quality speaker is especially suitable for S16 cameras. The speaker is pre-installed in the 20-degree-tilting mechanism of the HaloMount and is tted in the same way in fake ceilings and walls. The SpeakerMount has not been designed to be used in outdoor applications. Temperature range: 0 to +60°C/32 to 140°F; protection class: IP20; nominal/music output: 3/4 W; impedance: 8 Ohms; material of the speaker: metal with perforated steel cover; connection type: two-wire strand with luster terminal; installation diameter: 68 mm/2.7 in.

1.5.5 PTMount

Order no.: MX-PTMount-OPT-PW
MOBOTIX oers the high-quality, weatherproof PTMount, an attractive, compact, discreet, and dome-shaped accessory mount that holds a single sensor module and is adjustable in three directions. The maximum exibility for adjusting the modules means that you can always nd the right position. When mounted to a wall, for example, the mount enables you to compensate for sideway tilt and to re-align the image horizon horizontally to record the best possible image of the surveillance area.

1.5.6 PTMount-Thermal(-TR)

Order no.: MX-SM-PTMount-Thermal-PW/BL Order no.: MX-MT-PT-TR
This variant of the PTMount contains a thermal sensor mod­ule that is integrated into the PTMount housing (available in white or black). Equipped with the same thermal sensors as the thermal sensor modules, this device generates thermal images even in complete darkness.

MOBOTIX Soware
1.6 MOBOTIXSoware
1.6.1 IntegratedCameraSoware(Firmware)
MOBOTIX cameras and connected MxBus modules operate with built-in rmware whose functions are accessed by the MOBOTIX MxManagementCenter remote stations and
MOBOTIX MxBell.
The S16 models therefore also feature a variety of functions that are integrated in the rm ware: from motion detection and long-term storage right through to alarm notication 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 soware on your computer thanks to the MOBOTIX rmware 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 soware 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. The MOBOTIX MxBell for iOS and Android devices (iOS 11/Android 5.0 and higher) is also available free of charge from the App Store/Google Play for your mobile applications.

S16 Camera Manual: Installation

2 INSTALLATION

Like all MOBOTIX cameras, the S16 is extremelyexible in terms of how and where it can be installed. An S16 can be used for both indoor and outdoor applications. In xed or mobile applications – constantly changing locations or in/on vehicles of any kind. The S16 cameras are weatherproof according to IP66 and can work reliably in temperatures ranging from –40 to 60 °C/–40 to 140 °F without extra housing, heating or fan.
Thanks to the concealed installation, you can easily add MOBOTIX interface boxes next to the camera.
Signal input/output
RS232
Please Remember These Basic Rules When Installing
1. The S16 sensor modules must always be mounted so as to avoid the constant accu mulation or any collection of water or other liquid around the cable connection on the back of the housing. Other wise this could lead to a build-up of condensation inside the sensor module and its subsequent failure.
2. Unused connectors on the housing of the S16 must always be sealed using the plugs installed as standard on delivery as well as the corresponding retainers.
3. 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).
4. The lower (blue) part of the camera housing must face downwards so that any water running o the housing cannot accumulate around the connectors.

2.1 Preparing the Installation

The following questions should be answered before mounting the MOBOTIX S16:
1. Where and how will the camera be mounted?
2. Where and how will the sensor modules be mounted?
3. Which 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 installation options indicated in both the following sections are examples of the most common applications for a S16 DualFlex. 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.

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 the maximum usable image area greatly varies with the purpose of the camera. People, for example, may be identied very well at distances of up to 1.5 m/5 , and with suicient detail at up to 3 m/10 . Objects can be recognized even at distances of 5 m/16.4  and more from the camera.
Discreet ceiling installation with minimum footprint
Ceiling-Mounted
A single S16 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 oor 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 specic objects, rooms with a oor area of well over 100 m² can also be mon­itored using a single sensor module.
The image quality (precision) diminishes as the dis-
tance of an object to the camera focus point incre-

Rectangular Rooms
When viewing a 360° panaroma image in the browser, you will notice that the top and bot tom 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 soware. Bearing this in mind, it is advisable to turn the S16 sensor module in rectangular rooms so that the area marked with two arrows or the rotary plug in a S16 (= top border or North of displayed image) is pointing towards one of the longer walls of the room.

Preparing the Installation
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 le of the camera to the wall on the right. Corresponding ne-tuning in the user interface soware 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
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 (cam era focus). The S16 should be installed on a wall such that the two arrows on the back of the sensor module housing (S16) or the rounded side of the camera housing (S16/S16) are pointing towards the ceiling.

Wall mounting with lenses tilting downwards is recommended in many cases for optimizing 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 S16 sensor modules.

The S16 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 appropriate 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 S16 is the rst hemispheric dual camera for use in extremely variable lighting conditions 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 sensor 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.

Page 51
Preparing the Installation
Ceiling-Mounted
Indoor installation is mostly on suspended ceilings and is extremely easy. A round hole with a diameter of 45 mm/1.77 in is all that is needed, through which a S16 sensor module with connection cable and attached ferrite is pushed down through the ceiling panel, xed from behind using a nut and then connected to the concealed body hidden behind a ceiling panel (connector and lock).

Step 1:

It should be ensured when selecting installation sites that each of the sensor cables do not exceed 3 m/9.8  (5MP – 2 m/6.6 ). The theoretical maximum distance between the two sensor modules of a S16 where the body is placed centrally is therefore 6 m/19.7  (5MP – 4 m/13.1 ).
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!
51
Page 52
S16 Camera Manual: Installation
The S16 monitors two separate rooms
The S16 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, oor or other form of screen can be captured without any blind spots using a S16.
In L-shaped rooms, both sensor modules are simply positioned at right angles. A S16 therefore captures the entire room without any blind spots.
The S16 can see “around corners”
52
Room 1
Room 2
Installing the two sensor modules next to one another, but pointing in opposite direc tions in particularly long, narrow rooms (for example, hotel corridors, buses, aircra, railroad cars, etc.) delivers double hemispheric images of up to 6 megapixels that, in terms of sharpness of detail, signicantly 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 S16 (SurroundMount). The slight downward tilt of the two sensor modules allows the area directly underneath them to be captured without any blind spots.

Page 53
Preparing the Installation
Wall-Mounting
Mounting a S16 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, t the sensor module, x from behind with a locknut and connect to the body. Depending on the installation height and the required camera focus, the cam era 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 body, which is in theory 3 m/9.8 .

MixedCeilingandWall-Mounting
By mounting a sensor module on the ceiling of a room and at the same time attaching the second sensor module to an outside wall of this room, both the inside and the outdoor area can be captured with a single S16 at minimal installation cost.
Example: Kiosk
Simultaneous capture of the entire sales oor and the area outside the entrance with stand-up tables.
Indoors Outdoors
Floor-Mounting
Mounting sensor modules on the oor can also make sense for industrial uses or in areas where there are no people. Examples of such uses are vehicle ramps where the vehicles can also be easily captured from below.
Place sensor modules centrally between the wheels (along vehicle longitudinal axis). Sensor modules must be protected against dirt at the top by glass panels or similar!
Do not drive over or step directly on the camera or sensor modules!

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.

2.2.7 Using MxBus Modules

The MxBus camera connector is located under the housing cover (clamps 5 and 6 of the screw clamps) and allows the operation of additional modules for expanding functionality (e.g. connection of an MX-GPS-Box for determining time and position). MxBus was optimized specically for the use of existing two-wire cables.
The terminal connector has two connectors to connect an MxBus module (other MxBus modules can then be connected from there). The length of the entire MxBus cable may not exceed 50 m/55 yd.
The MxBus wires that are to be stripped at the end should always be fed into the camera through appropriate plugs before mounting. If the single wire plug is used, one wire must be pushed through a hole in the plug.
Do not mix up the polarity of the cables during installation. Select a consistent cable color for +/– in the entire MxBus system (for example, red = +, blue = –)
Aer an MxBus module has been connected, the MxBus itself must be started in the camera’s web-based user interface (if this has not been done yet) as well as the actual module (Admin Menu > Manage Hardware Expansions or MxBus Modules).

2.2.9 Replacing the MicroSD Card

If the pre-installed MicroSD card needs to be replaced (for example, with a 64 GB MicroSD
before
card), it is best to do so
the camera is installed.

3 OPERATING THE CAMERA

3.1 Manual and Automatic Operation

Download the free-of-charge MxManagementCenter so­ware at www.mobotix.com
MOBOTIX cameras do not require any extra soware. Thus, you can set up and operate the MOBOTIX camera using a JavaScript-enabled browser on all common operating systems (such as Windows, Linux, Macintosh, etc.). As an alternative, you can also use the MOBOTIX application MxManagementCenter. Follow these steps to set up the camera:
1. Connect the camera to the network.
Power is supplied directly via the Ethernet cable (see Section 2.4, «Network and Power Connection, Additional Cables»)
Establish a connection to the camera and adjust the network settings, if required.
2.
By factory default, MOBOTIX cameras are booting as DHCP client with an additional xed
IP address in the 10.x.x.x range (e.g., 10.16.0.128). Local computer networks usually have IP addresses in the 172 or 192 ranges. Depending on whether a DHCP server is present on the local network (e.g., a DSL router) or if the network has been set up to
use xed IP addresses, there are several possibilities for establishing a connection to the
camera and to change its network parameters:
Network with DHCP server
Using a browser:
If you know the IP address that the DHCP server assigned to the camera, simply enter that address in the browser address bar to directly connect to the camera (see Section 3.2.2, «First Images and the Most Important Settings in the Browser»).
– Using MxManagementCenter:
With MxManagementCenter, you can show and integrate the camera without having to know its current IP address (see Section 3.2.3, «First Images and Network Parameter Conguration in MxMC»).
76
Page 77
Manual and Automatic Operation
Network with xed IP addresses
In order to access the camera, it must have an IP address within the range of the local network. To set the camera’s network parameters, you can use one of these methods:
– Manually using a browser:
First, you need to change the network parameters of your computer (see Section 3.2.2, «First Images and the Most Important Settings in the Browser» and following …).
Integration into MxManagementCenter with automatic adjustment of the camera’s
IP address:
The camera is displayed in MxManagementCenter despite the fact that the IP address is not part of the local network. The application allows reconguring the network
parameters accordingly (see Section 3.2.3, «First Images and Network Parameter Conguration in MxMC»).
3. Congure the camera.
Using the web-based user interface or MxManagementCenter.

S16 Camera Manual: Operating the Camera
Pressing the “L” key will prompt the camera to announce its current IP address on the camera speaker (see the gure in Section 3.2.4, «Start Options of the Camera»)

3.2 First Images and the Most Important Settings

Once the MOBOTIX 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 MxManagementCenter (see Section 3.2.3)
Note
We will use a camera with the factory address 10.8.0.99 in the following examples. Replace this IP address with the IP address of your camera. You will nd 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.

3.2.1 Manually Setting Up the Network Parameters in a Browser

You need a computer that is using a 10.x.x.x IP address in order to manually set up the network parameters of the MOBOTIX camera. The computer’s network parameters usually have to be changed for this purpose.

3.2.4 Start Options of the Camera

By default, the camera starts as DHCP client and automatically tries to get an IP address from a DHCP ser ver. To start the camera in a mode dierent from the default mode, you can activate the boot menu of the camera.
Preparing the Camera
Disconnect the camera’s power supply.
Reconnect the power supply of the camera.
Activating the Boot Menu
The right LED lights up red 5 to 10 seconds aer establishing the power supply and will stay on for 10 seconds. Briey press the key indicated by the red circle in the gure. The camera enters the boot menu, ready for selecting one of the start options.
The LED now ashes once and repeats the ash signal aer pausing for one second (the number of ashes indicates the current start option). To go to the next start option, briey press the key again (< 1 sec). Aer the last start option, the camera returns to the rst option (LED ashes once).

Starting the Camera with Factory Default (Network) Settings
If you use the camera’s start option 2 to load the factory conguration, this congura­tion is not automatically saved in the camera’s ash memory. When the camera is next rebooted without using start option 2, the last stored conguration will be used. To permanently store the new conguration in the camera’s ash memory, open Admin Menu > Store. Note that you can restore specic parts of the camera conguration aerwards by using “Restore” to re-apply the settings still stored in the camera.
As opposed to resetting the camera using Admin Menu > Reset conguration to factory defaults, the user information will not be reset if the camera is booted using the factory settings.
Starting the Camera with an Automatic IP Address (DHCP)
Starting the camera using start option 3 and an automatic IP address (DHCP) is only temporary. The network conguration of the camera can be permanently set to DHCP
(factory setting) under Admin Menu > Ethernet Interface.
Make sure that the network has a functioning DHCP server when starting the camera with DHCP support. If this is not the case, the camera cannot obtain a valid IP address and will use its last IP address.
You should also make sure that the cameras always obtain the same IP addresses by permanently assigning the MAC addresses of the cameras to the desired IP addresses.
Make sure you store the default network conguration to the per­manent ash memory
In case of an error, the cam­era uses its last IP address
Tip
: Briey pressing the key of the camera will announce the current IP address via the speaker.

3.3.2 Inserting a Filter

MOBOTIX oers a polarization lter in its range of accessory products for all sensor modules (except for L10-L12 and L270-L320). The polarization lter prevents unwanted reections from smooth surfaces. The lter can be used to provide better facial recognition of the people behind the windshield of a car, for example. Only one lter can be used per sensor module, which then replaces the standard protective glass lens.
Procedure
1. Position the blue lens wrench on the notches of the protective glass lens. Rotate the wrench tothele until you feel a stop (max. 300°) and then a little bit further until the protective glass lens slides out of the sensor module.

3.3.3 Replacing the Dome Against the Sealing Ring (Only Sensor Modules
L10-L12)
For special scenarios with hemispheric sensor modules, e.g., if light entering from the side creates reections within the dome, you can use the sealing ring instead of the dome (order no. MX-OPT-Ring-L10-L12).
To exchange the dome against the sealing ring, use the blue lens wrench supplied with the S16 basic module.
In order to avoid burns by the hot lens, the sealing ring must not be installed if the sensor module is within the reach of persons!
Procedure
1. Insert the blue lens wrench into the notches of the dome. Rotate the wrench tothele until you feel a stop (max. 300°) and then a little bit further until the dome slides out of the sensor module. When doing this, make sure that the dome does not get stuck in the sensor module housing.

3.4.2 Full Image Recording

It is possible to record a full image, regardless of the live image stream that is being displayed. This ensures that the recording always contains the full image of the lens used, even though the operator may have used the vPTZ features to zoom into the image in order to examine a specic detail.
Live image Stored full image Analysis in stored full image
Stored full image: Original camera image without distortion or image correction
This means that you can use the vPTZ features in VGA resolution to pan, tilt and zoom in the live image while the camera is, for example, recording full images at 1 fps in MEGA or QXGA resolution.
In MxManagementCenter, the recorded full images may be prepared for the user with the vPTZ functions (for example, panning and zooming in on an image detail such as a doorway).
If full image recording is not activated, only the last displayed live image will be saved (save what is seen). The mainbenet of live image storage is to ensure that the full power of the camera processor is used for live image correction and maximum frame rates. The main advan- tage of full image recording lies in the special functionality of the S16, in that it can always maintain availability of a maximum size (full) image for later investigation, despite vPTZ actions carried out on the live image. The mechanical limitations of motor-driven PTZ cameras mean that they simply cannot provide this unique advantage to the user!
Notes
Post-eventsearchinthefullimage:If you are using full image recording on S16 cameras, you should use at least MEGA resolution when storing. This will facilitate later searches in MxManagementCenter. The advanced distortion correction features require this function to deliver satisfactory image quality.
Full image recording on: Due to the increased processing time, full image recording reduces the data rate of the live image stream, which may drop by around 10 to 30 percent. We therefore recommend reducing the frame rate for storage as much as possible to aect the live image stream as little as possible.
Fullimagerecordingo: The event that triggered a video motion (VideoMotion VM) window may not be in the recorded sequences while the window was not displayed at the time.

3.4.3 SpecialS16CongurationintheBrowser
The MOBOTIX S16 and S16 with one or two D10/N10 sensor modules oer a range of special conguration options for the image settings due to their hemispheric lenses. Depending on where the camera is mounted (ceiling, wall or oor) and on the live image display preferred by the user, certain important basic settings and, if necessary, their adjustment must be congured when a S16 is rst installed.
A corresponding adjustment of the image setting is strongly recommended if one or both of the sensor modules of a S16 were mounted using a 15° wedge (available as an accessory).
S16andDierentSensorModules
A range of combination options are provided that change the available display modes and conguration possibilities by using the MOBOTIX S16 with dierent sensor modules.
Because of this, a S16 automatically detects which sensor modules are installed and pro­ceeds as follows:
When the camera is started for the rst time, it detects the connected sensor modules and captures their data (focal length, day or night version).
If only one sensor module is connected, the camera acts as a single-lens camera (mean­ing that there is no automatic day/night switching, etc.).
If there is no change within the rst 12 hours of operation, the camera writes the details of these sensor modules to the camera conguration.
With every restart, the camera checks if the stored sensor modules are present. If any changes are detected,
in the live display
the camera indicates these through a corresponding alert
.

ConguringtheLEDsonanS16
Because the LEDs on a S16 are located not only on the camera but also on the sensor modules, they can be congured separately for the camera and each sensor module (Admin Menu > LED Setup).

When you are setting up a S16 with two sensor modules, specify their mounting posi tions separately in the Installation (right) and Installation (le) Quick Control elds for the right and le sensor modules (i.e., camera images) respectively.
As a result, you will get a perspective-correctedpanoramaview for each image sensor matching the specied mounting position. Panorama view is set as a factory default and it can be changed as described below.
3. Switch to the Display Mode Quick Control.
4. Set the mode that you want to be the standard view. For demonstration purposes, the descriptions below describe the typical display mode for the wall mount and the ceiling mount, Panorama and Surround respectively. Every other display mode can be operated in the same way.

The currently visible image section may dier from the desired image section due to the installation position or any accessories in use, for example. However, it is not nec essary to physically move the camera, as in this case the browser alone can be used to adjust the visible panorama image by zooming, panning and tilting. Tilted vertical lines may also be optically straightened to the image edges using the panorama correction function. These tilted lines are primarily caused if the camera or sensor module is tilted (for example, due to mounting with 15° wedges) or if the image tilt is modied.
