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 oers 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
Orderno.: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 dierent 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.

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 oers 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.

(diameter: 0.8 mm) is 50 m. If the MiniUSB connection is used, the maximum cable length is 5 m.
1.5.18 ExtIO Expansion Module
Order No.: MX-ExtIO
The device, which is suitable both for on-wall and in-wall
installations, contains a powerful speaker, microphone, infrared motion sensor, ambient temperature sensor, two input
and two output contacts and two illuminated keys. It is ideal
for door communication, elevators, access control systems,
etc. The ExtIO is suitable for use as direct connection to the
S16 via a MiniUSB cable (max. 5 m), which can be ordered
separately, or as a network connection via the PoE switch.
1.5.19 Mx2wire+ Media Converter
Order No.: MX-2wirePlus-Set-PW
The Mx2wire+ system allows an Ethernet network with PoE
to be set up via two-wire cables, which saves users from
having to lay several hundred meters of Ethernet cable. For
example, an existing two-wire cable of an analog video camera can be reused to connect a high-resolution and modern
IP network camera. Mx2wire+ is delivered in the standard
wall outlet frame in dierent designs; however, it can also
be used with the available on-wall socket that is included.

1.5.20 Other Accessories
Since the range of accessories for the MOBOTIX system keeps growing, you will nd
the list of applicable accessories in the Camera Congurator on the MOBOTIX website
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 notication 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 soware 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 soware 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 extremelyexible 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
identied very well at distances of up to 1.5 m/5 , and with suicient 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
specic 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 soware. 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 eectively monitored, from
the wall on the le of the camera to the wall on the right. Corresponding ne-tuning in the
user interface soware allows the displayed panorama image to be adjusted to dierent
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.

To install the sensor module on thicker walls or with the 15° wedge (see next section), the
MOBOTIX oers an extension that is attached to the sensor module at the back and secured
with a bayonet catch.

Greater wall thicknesses can also be bridged by attaching several extensions. The sensor
module is secured from behind by a nut and a locknut.

Multiple extensions can be added (EN 50155 vibration resistance was tested
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 oers 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 oers 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.
50
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).

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!

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, signicantly outperforms a single hemispheric camera with
just one lens. For these kinds of installations, MOBOTIX will soon oer 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.

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 oers 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 .

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.

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 = –)
Aer 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).

3 OPERATING THE CAMERA
3.1 Manual and Automatic Operation
Download the free-of-charge
MxManagementCenter soware at www.mobotix.com
MOBOTIX cameras do not require any extra soware. 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 Conguration 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 reconguring the network
parameters accordingly (see Section 3.2.3, «First Images and Network Parameter Conguration in MxMC»).
3. Congure 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 dierent 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 aer establishing the power supply and will stay
on for 10 seconds. Briey 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 aer pausing for one second (the
number of ashes indicates the current start option). To go to the next start option, briey
press the key again (< 1 sec). Aer 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 conguration, this conguration is not automatically saved in the camera’s ash memory. When the camera is next
rebooted without using start option 2, the last stored conguration will be used. To
permanently store the new conguration in the camera’s ash memory, open Admin Menu > Store. Note that you can restore specic parts of the camera conguration
aerwards by using “Restore” to re-apply the settings still stored in the camera.
As opposed to resetting the camera using Admin Menu > Reset conguration 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 conguration 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

Tip
: Briey pressing the key of the camera will announce the current IP address via the speaker.
Once the camera has been installed, the L76 and L160 sensor modules should be checked
for proper image sharpness and manually adjusted, if required. To do so, use the blue lens
wrench and the black module wrench (both are supplied with the S16 basic module).
Procedure
1. Position the blue lens wrench on the notches of the
sensor module. Rotate the wrench tothele until
you feel a stop (max. 300°) and then a little bit fur

3.3.2 Inserting a Filter
MOBOTIX oers 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 reections
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 tothele
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 reections 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 tothele 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.
Turn the wrench over, insert the two notches into the

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 specic detail.
Live imageStored full imageAnalysis 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 mainbenet 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-eventsearchinthefullimage: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 aect the live image stream as little as possible.

3.4.3 SpecialS16CongurationintheBrowser
The MOBOTIX S16 and S16 with one or two D10/N10 sensor modules oer a range of special
conguration 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
congured 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).
S16andDierentSensorModules
A range of combination options are provided
that change the available display modes
and conguration possibilities by using the
MOBOTIX S16 with dierent 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 conguration.
• 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
.

ConguringtheLEDsonanS16
Because the LEDs on a S16 are located not only on the
camera but also on the sensor modules, they can be
congured separately for the camera and each sensor
module (Admin Menu > LED Setup).

for the right and le sensor modules (i.e., camera images) respectively.
As a result, you will get a perspective-correctedpanoramaview for each image sensor
matching the specied mounting position. Panorama view is set as a factory default
and it can be changed as described below.
3. Switch to the Display ModeQuick 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.
1. In the Display Mode Quick Control, select the option Panorama. Examine the image
that is now displayed. If the section meets your expectations, no further adjustment
is necessary, and panorama conguration is complete. To change the image section
to meet your specic expectations, continue with Step 2.
The currently visible image section may dier 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 modied.
