Mobotix IP CCTV Camera System
 |
|
The German company MOBOTIX AG is known as the leading
pioneer in network camera technology and its decentralized
concept has made high-resolution video systems cost
efficient.
In very little time, MOBOTIX has conquered second place in
Europe and fourth place worldwide in terms of market share.
MOBOTIX has been producing only mega pixel cameras for years
and, in this area, ranks as the global market leader in
high-resolution video systems.

individual companies requirements. This support service is

Why Use High-Resolution Systems?
 |
|
The higher the resolution, the more details are in an image.
Using traditional (analogue) technology, a live image has no
more than 0.4 mega pixels and a recorded image only has 0.1
mega pixels (CIF). On the contrary, a MOBOTIX camera with
3.1 mega pixels records around 30 times more detail. As a
result, larger image areas with up to 360° panorama are
possible, thus reducing the number of cameras and therefore
the costs. For example, four lanes of a gas station can be
recorded using one MOBOTIX camera instead of four
conventional cameras.
|
The Decentralized MOBOTIX Concept
 |
|
Unlike other systems, the decentralized MOBOTIX concept
incorporates a high-speed computer and, if necessary, a
digital memory (SD card) for long-term recording in every
camera. The PC is now used only for viewing, not for
analysis or recording. As a result, MOBOTIX cameras can
record events even without a running PC and digitally record
videos with sound for archiving purposes.
|
The Benefits of Mobotix
 |
|
MOBOTIX video solutions therefore require significantly
Fewer cameras due to the more accurate detail of wide-angle
images with mega pixel technology,
Fewer PCs/DVRs, because around 40 cameras can store
high-resolution video with sound efficiently on a single PC,
or no PC at all when recording on the camera's digital
storage (USB, SD card),
Lower network bandwidth, because everything is processed in
the camera itself and the high-resolution images therefore
do not have to be constantly transferred for analysis.
|
Robust and Low-Maintenance
 |
|
MOBOTIX cameras do not require any lens or positioning
motors. Without any moving parts, they are so robust that
maintenance is reduced to a minimum. The unique temperature
range from -30° to +60°C (-22° to +140°F) is achieved
without heating or fan at only 3 watts power consumption.
Since no PC hard disk is required for recording, there are
no parts that wear out in the entire video system.
|
Mobotix Software Included - For Life
 |
|
There are no software or licensing costs with MOBOTIX,
because the software is always supplied within the camera -
for an unlimited number of cameras and users. The software
package supplied with the camera also includes a
professional control centre software used at soccer
stadiums, for example. Updates are supplied free of charge
on the website.
