THE MOBOTIX CONCEPT

HiRes Video Innovations

Close-up of a white mechanical component with a central square and four circular features (no visible text or symbols)

The German company MOBOTIX AG is known as the leading pioneer in network camera technology since its founding in 1999, and its decentralized concept has made high resolution video systems cost-efficient. Whether in embassies, airports, railway station ports, gas stations, hotels or on highways - over one hundred thousand MOBOTIX vic systems have been in operation on every continent for years.

Technology Leader Of Network Cameras

In a short time, MOBOTIX has gained the second place in Europe and the fourth place worldwide in terms of market share. MOBOTIX has been producing megapixel cameras exclusively for years and, in this area, ranks as the global market leader in high-resolution video systems with a market share of over 60%

Why High-Resolution Systems?

The higher the resolution, the more accurate the detail in the image. With the old analog technology, a live image has no more than 0.4 megapixels, and a recorded image generally 0.1 megapixels (CIF). On the contrary, one MOBOTIX camera with 3.1 megapixels records around 30 times more detail. As a result, larger image are with up to 360^ allround views are possible, thus reducing the number of cameras and therefore the costs. For example, four lanes of a gas station can be recorded with one MOBOTIX camera instead of four conventional cameras.

Disadvantages Of Old Centralized Solution

Usually, cameras only supply the images, while processing and recording take place later on a central PC using video management software. This traditional centralized structure has many limitations, since it requires high network bandwidth and the processing power is insufficient for several cameras. A HDTV MPEG4 film already provides considerable strain on a PC how can it be expected to process dozens of high-resolution links.

cameras? Traditional centralized systems are therefore less suitable and cost-effective than high-resolution systems due to the high number of PCs required.

    style B fill:#ccf,stroke:#333
    style C fill:#cfc,stroke:#333

The Decentralized MOBOTIX Concept

Unlike other systems, with the decentralized MOBOTIX concept, a high-speed computer and, it requested, digital memory (MicroSD/SD card) is built into every camera for long-term recording. The PC now serves purely for viewing, not for analysis or recording. As a result, MOBOTIX cameras can record in response to an event, even without the PC being switched on, and digitally store the videos with sound.

The Benefits

MOBOTIX video solutions theretore require significantly

• fewer cameras due to the more accurate detail of panoramic images with megapixel technology.
• fewer PCs/DVRs, because around 40 cameras can store high-resolution videos with sound efficiently on a single PC, or no PC at all when recording in the camera using digital memory (USB, MicroSD/SD card),
• lower network bandwidth, because everything is processed in the camera itself, the high-resolution images do not have to be constantly transported for and

Robust And Low-Maintenance

MOBOTIX cameras have no mechanical motors for lenses or for movement. Without any moving parts, therefore they are so robust that maintenance is reduced to a minimum. The unique temperature range from -30 °C to +60°C is achieved without heating or a ta at approximately 3 watts. Since no PC hard disk is necessary for recording, there are no parts that wear out in the entire video system.

Software Included - For Life

There are no software and licensing costs with MOBOTIX because the software is always supplied with the camera for an unlimited number of cameras and users. The software package supplied with the camera also includes professional control room software simi to that used in football stadiums, for example. Updates are supplied free of charge on the website. The system price for a weatherproof camera, including lens, query software and day-to-day recording on the MicroSD/SD card, is under 1,000 euro.

SUPERIOR STORAGE SOLUTION

The Market Demands Better Image Quality

When it comes to future-proof video surveillance systems, it is not a matter of analog or digital but whether it is high-resolution or not. It is important note that only HiRes video with decentralized network camera technolog can be implemented at a much lower cost than any other type of video surveillance system.

Central Storage As A Bottleneck

These days, video data is normally pre-processed and stored centrally on a PC or DVR using video management software. Video and audio streams from all installed cameras are directed to this central device. This system is comparable to a highway at rush hour: the more cameras there are, the taster data piles up on the PC or DVR. This means that despite HiRes cameras, the data is generally not stored in high-resolution format.

Central PC is a bottleneck and represents a risk for the entire system

MOBOTIX Stores HiRes Cost-Efficiently

MOBOTIX solves the PC storage bottleneck problem using a currently unique and y amazingly effective method - through the camera itself. High-resolution video with lip-synchronized sound is saved either remotely over the network or locally on Flash memo devices (commercial SD/MicroSD or CF cards, USB memory)

Flash memory is a sophisticated form of semiconductor memory without mechani moving parts and represents the storage medium of the future thanks to its reliability, ease of use and low cost.

Software and storage integrated in MOBOTIX cameras

MOBOTIX Stores Data In Flash Memory

• No PC / network is required for continuous operations and there is no network load
- USB Flash media can be connected directly to the camera (instead of internal SD/MicroSD/CF card); no network is necessary
• Greater reliability (no hard disk drive)
- Ring buffer: Old images can be overwritten automatically or automatically deleted after a specified period of time

MOBOTIX Stores Data Reliably

The MOBOTIX Flash file system (MxFFS) prevents unauthorized persons from reading or transterring the internally stored data, even if the card is stolen.

MOBOTIX Only Saves What Is Necessary

The MOBOTIX system includes three important additional options that allow more data to be stored for a longer time:

• Only the relevant image sections are stored instead of the entire image (for example, sky or ceiling is removed)
  • Video recording only begins when relevant events occur (such as movement in the image
  • Temporarily increased frame rate during continuous recording of events

By connecting external memory over the network (NAS), the system can be expanded without limitations, even while it is running.

MOBOTIX Data Storage

• Inside the camera - one MicroSD card enough to record all day long, making centro data storage devices or PCs unnecessary
- In USB memory (connection via USB cable) data storage without mechanical moving parts or network load (greater protection against data theft)
- A file server NAS) car store around 10 time: more data from MOBCTIX HiRes cameras than usual because they use memory organization internally

ADDED SECURITY VALUE

Robust, Low-Maintenance Technology

The real added value of MOBOTIX products is reflected in characteristics such as enhanced functionality, long life and robustness. In general, MOBOTIX cameras have no moving parts. This makes the cameras very resistant to wear and tear, and reduces both maintenance costs and power consumption.

Alarm Management And Forwarding

Integrated sensors enable MOBOTIX cameras to recognize when an event has occurred. If desired, the cameras will respond immediately with an alarm tone and will establish a direct video and sound connection to a control room.

Absolute Data Security

The security barriers that are built into the camera are extremely secure. The camera images are only accessible to authorized persons and are encrypted via SSL when they are transferred over the network.

Notification Of Failure

MOBOTIX cameras will automatically report any impairment or failure. This ensures maximum reliability and readiness for use.

Subsequent Searches

Events rarely confine themselves to just one spot. So even when you are looking at an enlarged detail in live mode, it is always the full image that is recorded. And in this full image, any section can always be enlarged later or whenever necessary.

Sound Increases The Chance Of Detection

In the event of an alarm, MOBOTIX cameras can turn on their built-in microphones and record lip-synchronized sound. They are therefore an even greater help in analyzing a situation and easing clarification. In addition, the video system can be used for bidirectional communication via a loudspeaker/microphone.

No Problems With Backlight

MOBOTIX cameras are not adversely affected by the glare from direct sunlight. They deliver meaningful, detailed images all the time because the camera software supports easy programming of independent exposure windows to cope with specific situations. This makes them ideal for rooms with large glass fronts.

Vandalism-Proof Models

In critical environments or for outdoor use, it is often best to choose vandalism-protected MOBOTIX cameras. Their steel housing resists even the hard attacks, and the cameras will deliver a perfect picture of the attackers.

1 INTRODUCTION

1.1 D24M Overview

With the D24M series, MOBOTIX offers extremely compact, versatile and cost-effective mono dome cameras with up to 1,536 scan lines, an integrated video sensor and long-term internal storage on a MicroSD card (not available in the basic model). The basic model, the D24M Basic, is designed for indoor use, comes with a 90° Wide Angle lens and is powered over Ethernet (PoE).

Size comparison: standard resolution (analog) with 288 scan lines (CIF) versus a MOBOTIX resolution with 1,536 scan lines

A Master Of Adaptability

All D24M models come with an easily interchangeable lenses and a robust 1.5 mm thick polycarbonate dome. An extensive range of accessories is also available for installing the camera in an application-optimized manner, for supplying power or expanding the functions of the camera. Furthermore, MOBOTIX customers can take advantage MxEasy or the professional control center software MxControlCenter tree of charge and with an unlimited user and camera license. It required, a D24M camera can even be upgraded function as a powerful intercom system by adding the MOBOTIX ExtIO module.

Robust And Elegant

The D24M is available in the Secure, IT or Basic models depending on the software features. Five high-performance lenses are currently available for the D24M in the compact M14 housing. Due to their low power consumption of only 3 watts, D24M cameras can operate in an extremely wide temperature range [-30^ to +60^ (-22°F... +140°F)]. Since MOBO cameras neither fog up nor require heating, power can be supplied via the network cable using standard PoE products. The D24M IT and Secure models are completely dust-proc and resistant to water jets (IP65; D24M Basic: IP54). The D24M Wall Mount makes the camera ideally suited for outdoor use and for installation over surface-mounted sockets so that the cabling remains thoroughly concealed.

High-Resolution Sees More And Costs Less

One D24M camera equipped with a 90° Wide Angle lens is usually all that is required to monitor either an entire room from a corner or the four lanes of a gas station. The high degree of image detail not only reduces the number of required cameras, but also minimizes system costs by reducing the wiring complexity, emergency power requirements and number of recording devices required. D24M cameras (IT and Secure) feature direct recording to integrated MicroSD cards or external USB drives. As a result, these cameras can be used in standalone operation with zero network load!

Universal Application From The Vacation Home To The Airport

MOBOTIX D24M cameras are suitable for use in large-scale facilities like airports given their unlimited scalability and high performance. However, they are equally suitable for use in small commercial or private buildings thanks to their integrated event, storage, alarm and telephony functions.

With a D24M equipped with an L22 lens, the (slightly) distorted image can be corrected by software (see Section 3.4)

The Right Lens For Every Application

You can change the lens in the D24M camera models on site whenever necessary. Each lens is secured by a lock ring. Each camera has a factory-aligned and quality-tested lens, which makes on-site camera focusing unnecessary in most cases. The D24M cameras are available for delivery with a lens of your choosing or no lens at all.

The image area captured by the D24M varies depending on the selected lens (see Section 1.4). With a Super Wide Angle lens (L22 with 90°), for example, almost an entire room can be recorded from just one corner.

With an L135 Telephoto lens, a D24M camera with a high-resolution 3.1 megapixel sensor is capable of clearly recording a license plate number from a distance of 75 meters. Or even the serial number of a 5 euro bill from a distance of two meters!

Virtual PTZ (vPTZ) – No Motor Required

The D24M can zoom in on detail as well. These vPTZ functions are a standard feature in the integrated D24M camera software. The image from the mono dome 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.

This vPTZ functionality works differently 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).

Simultaneous Zoomed 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 recording 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 D24M. This will not store the currently viewed image that reflect the pan/tilt position and the zoom setting chosen by the user, but the full sensor image without vPTZ settings. When examining the recorded images at a later point in time, the vPTZ features again come into play, as they allow the visible image to be zoomed and use the pan/tilt features to examine every corner of the recorded full image.

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 D24M allows you to determine, for example, the exact time at which these 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.

The image distortion caused by the L22 90° Wide Angle lens can be corrected (see Section 3.4). Since this function requires more computing power, it should not be enabled the live image for applications that require a maximum frame rate. The image distortion in the recording can also be corrected at a later time.

Internal DVR

The D24M IT/Secure model features 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 stores high-resolution video, without requiring an external recording device or PC and therefore without overloading the network 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 (640 x 480). 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. It you would like to archive sequences, you can store all of the data or only certain parts to a computer or a USB hard disk

High Frame Rates Of Up To 30 fps

Like all other MOBOTIX cameras, the D24M models can generate live video streams with high frame rates and a maximum image resolution of 3.1 megapixels (QXGA with 2048 x 1536 pixels). Up to 30 fps are generated at a megapixel resolution of 1280x960 pixels. Even at 3.1 megapixels, the camera will still generate up to 20 fps!

Robust And Maintenance-Free

Thanks to their low power consumption of approximately 3 watts and the total absence of mechanical moving parts, the D24M models feature the highest operating temperature range from -30^ to +60^ - 20^ to +140^) and are completely dust-proof and resistant to water jets (D24M IT/Secure IP65; D24M Basic IP54). Since the cameras neither fog up nor require heating, power can be supplied all year round via the Ethernet cabling using standard PoE products.

Camera Design Creates New Applications

Some application scenarios benefit from a surveillance camera that is present, but does not attract attention. The low-key elegance of the camera design, especially when installed with the In-Ceiling Set, makes the D24M the ideal solution where discreet design and inconspicuous look are important. For example, hotels and restaurants—not to mention installations in public buildings, waiting rooms and showrooms—present a suitable backdrop for this type of equipment.

D24M with the In-Ceiling Set

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 D24M is available in the Secure, IT or Basic models, which all come with different features. The D24M is delivered with an L22 Super Wide Angle lens (horizontal angle of 90°) as standard. Four additional lenses (Wide Angle and Telephoto) with viewing angles of 15°, 31°, 45° or 60° are available upon request. The standard IT and Secure models include a pre-formatted and pre-installed 4 GB MicroSD card. Audio features can be added at any time with the ExtIO module (not available for Basic model).

1.2 D24M: The Next Generation HiRes Mono Dome Camera

The D24M camera is the more powerful successor to the D22M and is delivered with a recording capacity of 4 GB integrated as standard. The D24M has a new microprocessor and a modified system platform. The result is more than twice the processing power, which enables smooth video frame rates, even in the high-resolution megapixel display.

Frames Rates Have Doubled

Even 3.1 megapixel camera images may be transferred at a rate of 20 frames per second, and megapixel images at up to 30 images per second.

4 GB MicroSD Card

Every D24M IT/Secure is delivered with a high-quality, factory-installed 4 GB MicroSD card (internal DVR) as a standard feature—sufficient for around 10 hours of HiRes continuous recording (at a rate of 4 fps).

Adjustable PoE Classes, 1 To 3

The PoE class of the camera may be raised or lowered from the default value of 2 to 1 or 3 from the camera software, to precisely adjust the functionality of the camera, its accessories and the PoE switch.

Only 3 Watt Power Consumption

Despite the use of a more powerful processor, the power consumption of the D24M is maintained at the extremely low level of only 3 watts.

New Connection Options

The MOBOTIX MiniUSB connector allows you to quickly and easily connect the MOBOTIX ExtIO module and possible future extensions (e.g. UMTS stick, MxBus, ...). This connector is not enabled in the Basic model.

1.3 General MOBOTIX Camera Functions

Like all other MOBOTIX cameras, the D24M models supports a range of (software) functions, such as video motion detection, long-term recording, alarm messaging and video IP telephony, to name but a few. Unlike in camera systems from other manufacturers, buying and installing additional software on the computer is unnecessary. Instead of using a web browser, you can also download the free MxControlCenter or MxEasy from the MOBOTIX website, which allow you to quickly display multiple cameras on a single monitor and enable alarm switching with audio or an easy event search.

vPTZ: Virtual Pan/Tilt/Zoom Features

While MxControlCenter has been providing virtual PTZ features for some time now, these features are now available directly in the MOBOTIX camera. This means that you can continuously zoom into or out of the live image using either the mouse wheel or a joystick. When storing images or video sequences, you can choose to store either the visible image area of the live image 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.

Automatic Image Correction (Only With The L22 Lens)

Another familiar problem from the field of photography is the distortion that result from using wide angle lenses. Straight lines near the image borders are bent outwards. The integrated distortion correction features of the camera (and of MxControlCenter) allow the curve of various lenses to be corrected using software functions.

Live Video With Up To 30 fps, Including Audio

MOBOTIX cameras deliver smooth live video with lip-synchronous audio, yet they keep network load to a minimum. Some analog systems may also be able to deliver this, but the recording quality is so much higher with MOBOTIX since the cameras efficiently store the high, live image resolution and frame rate without compromising image quality. MOBOTIX technology thus provides for continuous recording of simultaneous video from 30 cameras at 30 frames per second each, including audio, all on one standard PC.

Low Bandwidth Requirements

MOBOTIX's patent pending streaming format MxPEG enables fast live video with audio at extremely low network load (1 to 2 Mbps). Since the MOBOTIX camera itself detects movements in the image (and not the computer), video sequences are only transmitted when they are being stored externally.

Voice Over IP

Moreover, MxPEG provides for lip-synchronous live audio and two-way communication between the camera and a computer. Room surveillance is possible using a browser (Internet Explorer), MxControlCenter or MxEasy. Customized alarm notification on your mobile phone or via Internet telephony is just as easy as event-controlled voice messages directly from the camera.

Internet Telephony (SIP) And Video SIP

Video SIP allows establishing audio/video connections to the camera using Windows Messenger or similar applications (e.g. CounterPath X-Lite/Eyebeam). This feature also allows the camera to be remote controlled using the phone keys and the camera itself can place phone calls in case of alarms.

Long-Term Storage On File Servers Included

MOBOTIX cameras have an integrated long-term storage system for Linux, Windows and Mac OS X computers. Every camera manages its own ring buffer storage on the shared folder. Thanks to this decentralized approach, 30 live cameras can store images of up to 30 frames per second each, including audio, on a single computer.

Internal DVR: Storage On MicroSD Or CF Cards

MOBOTIX cameras support direct storage on an internal MicroSD/SD/CF card (basic models excluded). By using this integrated Flash card DVR, the camera is able to offer the following additional applications:

• Stand-alone use of the camera without a file server by recording to the MicroSD card.
• High-security application with recording on a file server or NAS/SAN in which the SD card serves as storage buffer. It can thus bridge longer network or file server failures without losing any video sequences (supported in a future software version).
• Event downloads from the MicroSD card for evaluation of the recorded sequences on a computer.

Event And Time-Controlled

Just like triggering event-controlled recording upon detecting movements in the image, the camera can also record when the volume detected by a microphone exceeds a certain trigger value. Using scheduled daily recording, time tasks can start or stop video recording, upload images to a website or send e-mails with video/audio clips. Vacation times and holidays can be programmed.

Remote Alerting

In case of an alarm, MOBOTIX cameras can automatically pop up windows or activate other functions at a remote security control center. The cameras can use network/wireless, GSM/GPRS/UMTS (3G) or Internet connections for this purpose.

Integrated Power-over-Ethernet

Power is supplied as Power over Ethernet via the network cabling using the MOBOTIX NPA-PoE-Set or from a PoE compatible switch (both according to the IEEE 802.3af PoE Standard).

Caution

Previous MOBOTIX network power accessories such as the NPA Set, Power Box and Power Rack (MX-NPA-Set, MX-NPR-4 and MX-NPR8/20) are not suitable for use with the D24M.

No heating is necessary thanks to the well-insulated plastic housing and anti-fogging properties. Due to their low power consumption (approx. 3 watts), MOBOTIX cameras, unlike those of other manufacturers, may be operated both indoors and outdoors using a PoE power supply.

Logos, Animated Or Freestyle

The MOBOTIX camera logo generator allows time-scheduled banners and graphics (including files loaded automatically from any URL) to be integrated into the current camera images. MOBOTIX cameras are the only network IP cameras supporting animated and transparent graphics.

30 Cameras Live Using MxControlCenter

Instead of using a web browser, you can also download the tree MxControlCenter from the MOBOTIX website, which allows you to quickly display up to 30 MOBOTIX cameras on one single monitor. In addition, MxControlCenter can process incoming alarms with sound from the cameras and allows you to conveniently search and evaluate alarm video clips (including audio). The integrated Layout Editor of MxControlCenter allows you to quickly create floor plans by simply dragging/dropping the cameras onto a background image. Load a floor plan as background image, drag & drop the cameras; done.

MxEasy – Intuitive Application For Windows, Macintosh And Linux

The new MOBOTIX MxEasy aims at easy operation of the most important camera functions through its intuitive user interface, thus creating a new user experience when viewing and controlling MOBOTIX cameras. The clear design allows up to 16 cameras to be managed, and the application can show up to four cameras at the same time.

All settings selected in MxEasy (e.g. virtual camera position, zoom, brightness, volume, microphone sensitivity, image storage, signal outputs) are usable immediately and are stored instantly in the configuration of the corresponding camera. The calendar function

integrated in the Alarm Planner provides access to innovative features for schedule settings of one or more cameras

For the first time, this tool not only contro video and audio recording based on certain time and date information, but also allows features like video motion detection image brightness and the microphone to be activated/deactivated based on a data and time schedule.

MxEasy is available as a free-of-charge download for MS Windows and Mac OS X operating systems under www.mobotix.com. A Linux version will be available soon

Diverse Installation Options

Not only can MOBOTIX cameras be installed under almost all weather and temperature conditions, they also offer suitable installation materials from a wide range of accessories for any conceivable application scenario.

Audio features for the D24M only available in combination with the ExtIO module (MOBOTIX accessory)

Additional Camera Functions (Software)

• True software scaling to easily generate smaller image formats for PDAs (such as 320x240, 160x120, etc.)
• Audio video recording with three different recording modes: event recording with audio, continuous recording with variable frame rate and audio as well as event-controlled snapshot recording of JPEG images
• Storage failure detection can monitor a tile server (or a Flash device) and can use one or more of the defined messaging options for error notification
• Player of recorded images/video sequences with audio in the integrated video management system
• Multiwatcher screen can display and monitor several cameras over the Internet, with only one camera requiring access from the outside. This "proxy" camera uses only very little bandwidth, making it an ideal solution for low-bandwidth connection
  • MultiView screen for displaying multiple camera or events in one browser window
• Event notification by e-mail, SMS (using a provider), voice notification (Phone Call-Out), sounds and by visual means (e.g. red frame in live image) using two separate messaging paths.

• Object tracing for analyzing the paths of objects that are moving in the image.

• Time Tables with handling of customized holidays and vacations. The time tables are used to control the camera's arming, image recording messaging, logos, the obscure image function as well as other features.

• Remote signaling for master/slave cameras, with the master camera controlling the arming status of the slave cameras. This allows, for example, all slave cameras to be armed using a key switch connected to the master camera.
• Transfer profiles for comfortably controlling transmissions via FTP, e-mail, phone calls and network messages.
• Speakerphone* with speak, listen and intercom modes using a microphone and speaker.
• Phone Call-In* to remotely control the camera using a touchtone telephone (retrieve camera information, establish an Internet connection, announce the retrieved IP address, intercom feature, etc.).
• MxPEG video compression using MxControlCenter. The ActiveX plug-in for Internet Explorer users brings all advantages of MxPEG to the browser-based user interface (including the audio stream to and from the camera).
• Routing allows use of other network connections besides the standard route.
• DynDNS client for accessing the camera via the Internet using a symbolic name (e.g. mymobotixcam.dyndns.org), despite the provider assigning a new dynamic IP address every time the camera connects to the Internet.
• Non-voidable backup system starts the cameras in the original operating state if a software update fails, allowing the user to easily restart the update process.
• Enhanced startup options for the camera (obtain IP address via DHCP, announcement of IP address and other network data, reset to factory default settings).
• Notifications upon errors or when rebooting provide a method for executing one or more notifications (e.g. blinking of the camera LEDs, audio message, FTP, e-mail, phone call, network message).
• Extended security features protect the pages and features of the camera and prohibit unauthorized access (IP-level access control, intrusion detection). They also provide SSL-protected transmission of the video sequences and the data (using SSL encryption and X.509 certificates).

Free Software Updates (www.mobotix.com)

MOBOTIX provides software updates free of charge at regular intervals that improve and expand the camera's functionalities. Chapter 6, Software Update, in the Software Manual provides more information on the process.

1.4 Lens Options, Hardware And Software Features

MOBOTIX currently offers five standard lenses with M14 thread from the L22 Super Wide Angle lens with a 22 mm focal length through to the L135 Telephoto lens with a 135 mm focal length (equivalent to 35 mm camera). Since MOBOTIX cameras are backlight-proof, they not require a mechanical auto iris, making them extremely robust and maintenance-free

• L22 Super Wide Angle with 90° image angle (horizontal)
• L32 Wide Angle* with 60° image angle (horizontal)
• L43 Wide Angle with 45^ image angle (horizontal)
• L65 Telephoto with 31° image angle (horizontal)
• L135 Telephoto with 15° image angle (horizontal)

The L22 Super Wide Angle 90° lens has very little distortion and delivers good image quality, even when using the maximum digital zoom. If a camera with this lens has been mounted in the corner of a room, the complete room is visible on the image

Notes

The specified focal lengths of 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 Super Wide Angle lens has an actual focal length of 4 mm. This would be the equivalent of 22 mm on a 35 mm camera. This lens is thus called L22.

Since the image sensors in digital cameras have different sizes, converting the focal lengths to 35 mm camera as a known format allows the image formats and the fields of vision of the different 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.

2 INSTALLATION

Although the D24M is primarily designed for installation on walls and ceilings, it can also be mounted to a pole or the corner of a building, for example, using the appropriate MOBOTIX accessories. The different installation options are described in sections 2.4 and below, while the drilling templates can be found at the end of the manual.

2.1 Preparing The Installation

Before installing the MOBOTIX D24M, the following questions should be answered:

1. Where will the camera be mounted?

Mounting to a ceiling or wall, see Section 2.1.1

1. Which other mounting options are available?

On-wall mounting, in-ceiling mounting, vandalism protection, wall mounting, pole mounting, see Section 2.1.2

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

MX-NPA-PoE or other PoE components (IEEE 802.3af), see Section 2.1.3

1. How are the connections furnished from the building?

Sockets, see Section 2.1.4

1. What cabling considerations are necessary?

Wiring, see Sections 2.1.5 and 2.13

The following sections contain a brief answer to each of these questions, as well as references to the relevant sections in this manual. For more information on the MOBOTIX D24M and available accessories, please see: www.mobotix.com.

Like all MOBOTIX cameras, the D24M is extremely flexible in terms of how and where it can be installed (see Section 2.1.2). The Basic model meets the IP54 standard while the IT and Secure models are weatherproof in accordance with IP65. However, installations on a wall or ceiling are the most common mounting positions. In indoor spaces, the D24M is usually mounted from the ceiling. The Super Wide Angle lens (90°, L22) allows a room to be monitored almost entirely by a camera mounted in the corner. Using the PTZ software, you can easily zoom in on image details in either the live image or the recording.

Wall Installation Using The Outdoor Wall Mount

Outdoors, the D24M is usually mounted on a building wall. In principle, the camera can be installed without additional wall mounts, although the positional range of the lens m be limited as a result. We therefore recommend using the practical Wall Mount from the range of available accessories (Section 2.4). The cable exit of the D24M is located in the center of the housing's underside. For more detailed information on the installation process, see Sections 2.5 and above. The appropriate drilling templates can be found at the end of the manual

2.1.2 Mounting Options For IT/Secure Models

On-Wall Installation (MX-OPT-AP)

The On-Wall Set can reliably protect external cables if the cables can 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 it mounted camera is inclined by 10 degrees. The inclination makes it possible for the camera to deliver the best images even in demanding situations.

In-Ceiling Installation (MX-OPT-IC)

The In-Ceiling Set allows the D24M camera to be installed in suspend ceilings, for example. This type of installation provides optimal protection for the camera and reduces the visible profile to a minimum sin only the dome remains visible.

Vandalism Set (MX-D24M-Vandal)

The Vandalism Set provides added protection for D24M 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 Wall Mount is the ideal solution for mounting the D24M to walls indoor and outdoor applications. The camera is completely dust-pro- and resistant to water jets (IP65). The Wall Mount also covers RJ45 flush-mounted sockets and has ample space for additional module

Corner And Pole Mount (MX-OPT-MH)

The MOBOTIX Corner and Pole Mount is the ideal choice when mounting the MOBOTIX D24M to a pole or building corner. This mount can only be used in conjunction with the Wall Mount. For poles with a diameter ranging from 60 to 180 mm.

The D24M supports the Power over Ethernet standard IEEE 802.3af (PoE)

The Network Power Adapter replaces the crossover cable when directly connecting to a computer

For the D24M, you should use the new blue MX-NPA-PoE-Set - previous MOBOTIX network power accessories such as the NPA Set, Power Box and Power Rack (MX-NPA-Set, MX-NPR-4 and MX-NPR8/20) are not suitable for use with the D24M

2.1.3 Network Connection And Power Supply, UPS

Power over Ethernet (PoE Conforming To IEEE 802.3af)

All D24M 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 currently available on the market (PoE switch/router).

Caution

The maximum length of the network cable for power supply over an Ethernet cable is 100 m (109.36 yd).

Previous MOBOTIX network power accessories such as the NPA Set, Power Box or Power Rack (MX-NPA-Set, MX-NPR-4 and MX-NPR8/20) are not suitable for use with the D24M.

Note

The MOBOTIX D24M can be powered by switches or routers that support the PoE (Power-over-Ethernet) standard and conform to IEEE 802.3af

Sections 2.11 and above contain more information on the possible combinations of connecting the D24M and power supply options.

Advantages of PoE power supply:

• Advantages of centralized backup power supply are available via network
• Lower, more cost-effective power consumption
• Camera does not require an additional network connection

Using Uninterruptible Power Supplies (UPS)

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

By using a more powerful 19" rack-mounted UPS, you can also protect all other network components (e.g. switches, routers, PoE switches, etc.).

Since MOBOTIX cameras do not require any heating, even during winter, the average power consumption of approximately 3 watts is very low. This in turn means that you can centralize the USP-protected power supply by injecting power into the network cables (max. 100 m/109.36 yd). 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 802.3at.

2.1.4 Preparing The Camera Connections, Wall Outlets

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 mounting the MOBOTI D24M, you should make sure that the network connections have been properly tested to ensure that the camera functions correctly when it is installed.

UPS not only protect the camera against power failures, they also protect all other connected network devices against damage from voltage peaks and lows

2.1.5 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 effects 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 technology for preventing damages from electrical surges.

Wiring

When installing the wiring, make sure to follow these guidelines:

• 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 2.11).
• 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 effect on wiring and fire prevention at the site of the installation.

Lightning And Surge Protection

More information on preventing lightning or surge damage is available from organizations such as the International Electrotechnical Commission (www.iec.ch) or from the manufacturers of lightning and surge protectors such as Dehn (www.dehn.de).

2.5.3 Overview: Procedure For All D24M Cameras

Please be sure to install the camera in the following order:

1. Install and prepare the network connection
2. Drill the holes: Please use the enclosed screws and screw anchors whenever possible. It is essential that you use the supplied drilling template to ensure the precise alignment of holes for either the mounting ring of the D24M IT/Secure or the camera base of the D24M Basic (fold-out at the end of this manual).
3. Hollow out background surface for the cable and connector or insert the cable behind the suspended ceiling or cable duct
4. Connect the pre-installed network cable of the camera to the installation cable (adapter not included in delivery).
5. Attach the camera to the ceiling or wall (see sections below).
6. Aim and adjust the lens (see Section 2.11)

Caution

For safety reasons, only use the pre-installed MOBOTIX network cable that was included in the delivery. Always ensure that the rubber plug of the network cable reliably protects the outer shell from moisture entering the camera. All openings of the camera housing need to be properly sealed. This is the only way to guarantee that the camera remains weatherproof.

Notes

Network Connection Without Pre-Installed Cable:

The network cable is fed through the ceiling directly above the camera. Make sure the cable is completely sealed by the rubber gasket on the housing (do not bend the cable!) When preparing the installation, ensure that at least 15 cm of cable length (excluding the connector itself) remains inside the camera housing (similar to factory preinstallation). This will ensure that you can turn and tilt the lens mount freely later on.

Surface-Mounted Socket

If a surface-mounted socket is used, the camera must be mounted using the outdoor Wall Mount. The camera cannot be mounted directly on top of protruding, surface-mounted sockets.

2.7 Mounting The Camera With The In-Ceiling Set

Close-up of a white spherical device with a transparent dome and blue connectors (no visible text or symbols)

2.7.1 Mounting Instructions

The In-Ceiling Set offers the most stylish installation option for the D24M. When properly installed, the only visible component is a particularly sleek and discreet dome camera, while most of the remaining components are concealed inside the ceiling. Only the compact dome and the thin decorative ring that conceals the screws can be seen

For these reasons, the D24M 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 addition reason to place a preference on in-ceiling installation. The installation process is also simplified, as the network cable may be laid without difficulty and only a 15 cm diameter hole must be cut in the ceiling or ceiling component.

Before installing the MOBOTIX D24M (IT/Secure) on an indoor ceiling with 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 the installation, make sure that about 15 cm of cable remains unused.
- Cut a hole for installation: The hole should have (diameter of 150 mm (see drilling template at the end of the manual).

2.7.2 In-Ceiling Set

The In-Ceiling Set must be ordered separately from the camera

2.13 Network And Power Connection

2.13.1 Notes On Cable Lengths And Power Supply

• Power may only be supplied to the camera via its Ethernet connector. A MOBOTIX Power Adapter or similar high-quality PoE product is recommended to provide the power supply via the network cable (see Section 2.4 Available D24M Accessories):
  • one camera: with the Network Power Adapter (MX-NPA-PoE)
• multiple cameras: with quality PoE products conforming to IEEE 802.3af

- The maximum length of the network cable for power supply over an Ethernet cable is 100 m.

- Make sure that you only use switches or routers that support the 10/100 Mbps Ethernet interface of the camera. Check for LED activity on the corresponding port of the switch or router. When deploying several cameras, read the notes in Section 4.11 Operating Multiple Cameras in the Software Manual.

- It is highly recommend to use uninterruptible power supplies (UPS) to provide back up power.

- If you are using IEEE 802.3af 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.

2.13.2 PoE Variables

The power consumption of the camera depends on the functions in use as well as any connected expansion modules (see table). PoE classes 1, 2 or 3 may be selected in the browser-based user interface in order to optimally adjust the camera to your system design (PoE switch in use, emergency power concept, etc.).

PoE Power Level Classes (IEEE 802.3af standard):

Class Max. Power Consumption Possible Operating Modes
1 0.44 W - 3.84	W	Normal operation without USB devices
2	3.84 W - 6.49 W (factory default)	Normal operation with USB devices
3 6.49 W - 12.95	W Like Class 2 and also with MxBus devices

The MOBOTIX factory default is Class 2

Variable PoE: multiple cameras can be operated simultaneously from the same switch

The MOBOTIX factory default is Class 2. This default is usually fine and nothing needs to be changed. However, if the lower power level Class 1 is sufficient for your application it may be advantageous – due to possible internal power distribution schemes among the ports of the PoE switch in use – to change the PoE power level class in the browser:

1. Select Admin Menu > Network Setup > Ethernet interface (for experts).
2. L nder Power Supply, click Change.
3. A Power Wizard will appear to guide you through the PoE configuration steps
4. The camera will then need to be restarted via a hard reboot: Disconnect the camera from the power supp, then reconnect it, for example, by disconnecting and then reconnect it the network cable at the PoE switch.

2.13.3 Power Supply Using A Switch

1. Connect the factory pre-installed cable of the camera to the Camera connector of the Network Power Adapter.
2. Connect the LAN/Power connector of the NPA to the switch/router or the Ethernet socket using an Ethernet connector.
3. Plug the RJ45 connector of the external power unit into the PC/Power connector of the Network Power Adapter.

2.13.6 Camera Startup Sequence

As soon as the camera's power supply has been established, the two LEDs will show the progress of the startup sequence (see Section 5.4.3 LED Signals and LED Configuration in the Software Manual).

• Startup sequence: Immediately after connecting the power supply, the red LED lights up, blinks for two seconds, then stays on permanently. The camera's boot loader checks the hardware, unpacks and starts the operating system. Next, the camera checks all of its applications for errors. In case of an error, the camera will start using the backup operating system. Afterwards, both LEDs light up for four seconds.
• Waiting for key pressed: Both LEDs light up for four seconds. If you press the R or L key of the camera during this time, the camera will execute the corresponding function (see Sections 3.2.5 and 3.2.6).
• Ready: Once the camera software has been started, the green LED is on permanently and the red LED blinks. You can now reach the camera via the network using a browser.

Notes

During the startup sequence of the camera, the LEDs will always light up, even if they have been deactivated in Admin Menu > LED Setup.

Camera software in the browser

MOBOTIX cameras do not require any extra software. Thus, you can set up and operate the MOBOTIX camera using a JavaScript-enabled browser on all common operating systems (such as Window, Linux, Macintosh, etc.). As an alternative, you can also use the MOBOTIX applications MxControlCenter and MxEasy. Follow these steps to set up the camera:

1. Connect the camera to the network. Power is supplied directly via the network cable (see Section 2.13)
2. Set up the camera's network parameters:

• Manually using a web browser (see Section 3.2.1, then Section 3.2.2)

- Automatically using MxControlCenter/MxEasy (see Sections 3.2.3 and 3.2.4) or via DHCP (see Section 3.2.5)

1. Configure the camera using the browser-based user interface.

Every MOBOTIX camera comes preconfigured with a fixed IP address in the 10.x.x range (e.g. 10.8.0.99). However, local computer networks usually have IP addresses in the 172 or 192 ranges. In order to access a MOBOTIX camera via the network, the camera needs to obtain an IP address in the same address range. You can set up the network parameters of the MOBOTIX camera using one of the following methods: Manually, using MxCC and MxEasy or by DHCP.

3.1.1 Manually Using A Computer In The 10.x.x.x IP Address Range

You can set up the camera's network parameters using a browser and the embedded camera software. To do this, connect the camera to a computer or a network that is using a 10.x.x.x IP address range (see Section 3.2.1 Manually Setting Up The Network Interface. Once this has been completed, you can enter the camera's default IP address in the browser address bar of the computer (see Section 3.2.2 The First Images And The Most Important Settings In The Browser). Next, click the Admin Menu button to open the camera's Quick Installation in the browser's user interface. This is where you can configure the desired network parameters of the camera. Once you have completed the Quick Installation, you can connect the camera with its new network parameters to the desired network.

The default IP address of your camera is printed on a sticker on the back of the camera

Advantages

• The camera does not need to be physically accessible, i.e. it can remain mounted to a pole, for example.
• No additional software is required.
• The network parameters can be set flexibly through manual entry.

Disadvantages

• The computer or the network need to operate in the 10.x.x.x IP address range or need to be able to access such a network.
  • The setup does not work automatically.
• You need to know the relevant network parameters.

MxControlCenter software (free download from www.mobotix.com)

MxEasy (free download from www.mobotix.com)

3.1.2 Automatically Using MxControlCenter Or MxEasy

You can set up the camera's network parameters using the free of charge video management software MxControlCenter or MxEasy (see Sections 3.2.3 and 3.2.4). You can also use one of these applications to automatically contigure the network parameters of MOBO cameras that are not operating on the same IP address range as the computer

Advantages

• You can connect the camera directly to the target network.
- The camera does not need to be physically accessible, i.e. it can remain mounted to a pole, for example.
• The camera can be configured to automatically receive an IP address (optional).
• The network parameters can be manually set (optional).
• You do not need to access the camera user interface.

Requirement

- The MxControlCenter or MxEasy video management software needs to be installed on the computer

3.1.3 Automatically Using DHCP

The camera can automatically obtain its network parameters using DHCP. This requires the network to have a functioning DHCP server (e.g. a DSL router with activated DHCP server) and the camera must be booted using DHCP (see Section 3.2.5 Starting the Camera With an Automatic IP Address (DHCP)). The IP address automatically assigned by the DHCP server can be announced via the speaker of an activated ExtIO that is connected to the D24M as soon as the camera has booted successfully.

Advantages

• You can connect the camera directly to the target network.
  • Network parameters are automatically assigned.
• No additional software is required.
• You do not need to access the camera user interface.

Disadvantages

• The camera needs to be physically accessible as you need to press a key on the camera housing to boot it using DHCP.
• Requires a running DHCP server on the network.
• The IP address must be determined by the administrator.

The ExtIO module is available from the MOBOTIX accessories program

3.2 First Images And The Most Important Settings

Once the 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 .x.x.x range with a255.0.0.0 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 (e.g. 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 MxControlCenter or MxEasy (Sections 3.2.3 and 3.2.4)

Notes

For the following examples, we will use a camera with the factory address 0.8.0.99. Replace this IP address with the IP address of your camera. You will find 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.

Hint: Pressing the R key on the camera (see Section 2.2.2) prompts the camera to announce its current IP address over a speaker.

3.2.1 Manually Setting Up The Network Parameters In A Browser

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

1. Change The Network Parameters Of Your Computer:

3.2.3 First Images And Network Parameter Configuration In MxControlCenter

Installation

If you have a MxControlCenter installation CD, insert it into the CD/DVD drive of your compu

If you do not have the installation CD or just want to install an update, you can download the latest Windows installer from the MOBOTIX website as a MST file and install it manually. The latest versions are available at www.mobotix.com in the Support > Software Downloads > MxControlCenter.

If you insert the installation CD, the installation process will start automatically and you will be guided through the necessary steps. If you have downloaded the latest Windows installer, double-click the MS1 file to initiate the installation process.

The Installer copies the selected files to the computer (older versions will be removed automatically) and then creates the designated shortcuts during the installation process (Desktop, Start Menu, etc.).

Caution

MxControlCenter will automatically attempt to find all MOBOTIX cameras in 1 physically connected network (i.e. even a MOBOTIX camera with a factory IP address of 10 x x x). Make sure that the firewall settings on your computer are lo enough so that MxControlCenter is not blocked. If MOBOTIX cameras are found, MxControlCenter can automatically reconfigure them so that they are available in the current subnet of the computer. If you do not have permission to modify these settings on your computer, contact your system administrator for assistance

MOBOTIXSearching and Displaying MOBOTIX Cameras

Launch MxControlCenter after successful installation (see section Installation) by double-clicking the shortcut that was created by the Installer or the executable MxCC.exe file in the installation directory on your computer.

When MxControlCenter is launched for the first time, the Add Cameras: Search and Select dialog opens and the application automatically searches for MOBOTIX cameras in the local network. To perform a camera search at a later time, select Video Source > Add from the menu.

If your MOBOTIX camera is properly connected, it should appear together with the existing video sources in the following list:

Video sources Legend Camera Preview

Note

Video sources in this context not only refer to MOBOTIX cameras, but also to third-party IP cameras, file server paths, MxPEG clips and analog cameras connected via MxServer (e.g. analog dome cameras). These video sources are not found automatically and need to be added manually.

Cameras Are Found But Are Located In A Different Subnet

The symbols in the first column and the legend in the dialog indicate whether you can access a particular camera directly from the MxControlCenter, which is the case for all cameras designated with (OK). Cameras designated with (different subnet) are located in a different subnet. This usually applies to new cameras or cameras that have been reset to their factory settings.

Note

The MxControlCenter finds all MOBOTIX cameras, even when the computer and th cameras are not located in the same subnet.

Select the cameras that you would like to display in a Layout (a view with cameras) and click Add selected video sources.

The Create new layout? dialog will appear. You can choose to either create a new layout with the cameras that have been found or simply add those cameras to the MxControlCen

If some of the selected cameras are in different subnets, MxControlCenter displays the following dialog:

Click Yes to reconfigure the cameras for your specific network area

Reconfiguring Cameras In A Different Subnet

In most networks, c DHCP server will automatically assign the IP addresses to network devices so that you can apply the default settings in the Configure camera dialog Get IP address automatically). It you would like all cameras to obtain IP addresses automatically select the Apply to all selected cameras checkbox.

If the IP addresses for devices on the network are permanently assigned, ask your network administrator to the appropriate IP addresses for the

cameras. Once you have that information, enter the correct IP address and subnet mask for each camera in the Use the following IP address option.

Make sure that the Save configuration permanently on camerc checkbox is selected so that the cameras can be found at the designated IP address when you restart your computer.

Now wait until MxControlCenter has modified the network settings of the cameras and restarted the computer. The status of the reconfigured cameras changes from (different subnet) to (OK). Confirm the Open Video Sources dialog again by clicking OK

Defining Additional Video Sources

In addition to the MOBOTIX cameras that are found automatically, you can also manual add video sources to the list of video sources for MxControlCenter.

• Camera: Here, you can enter the known IP address of DNS name of a MOBOTIX camera or a third-party IP camera if it was not found by the automatic search feature
• MxPEG-Clip: Adds an MxPEG video clip previously recorded by a MOBOTIX camera as a video source.
• Recording path Adds the path of an external tile serve where a MOBOTIX camera has recorded audio/video data. The videos or images recorded at that location can now be played back using the Player or Video Search.

Selecting Video Sources

In this list you can now select the video sources that you would like to display and manage in MxControlCenter.

Camera Preview

If you select one camera with the statusOK, MxControlCenter automatically displays the live images from that camera in the preview window. If you are using [Ctrl]-click to select additional cameras, the image from the camera selected last is shown in the preview window. This feature makes it easier for you to identify the cameras you that would like to use.

Editing The Video Source List

Right-click this list to open a shortcut menu from which you can select all video sources or cancel the selection. You can also use this method to remove from the list some or all of the video sources that you would not like to display or manage in MxControlCenter.

If you have cancelled the camera configuration process or need a password that differs from the camera's factory default password, you can also configure the camera from the shortcut menu at a later date and enter the user name and password required for reconfiguration at that time.

It is also possible to open the Configure selected cameras dialog using the shortcut menu in order to change the camera network parameters.

Adding Selected Video Sources In A New Layout

Click OK to add the selected cameras in MxControlCenter. If you select the Generate new grid for selected cameras option in the Create New Grid Layout dialog, MxControlCenter will automatically create a grid layout that displays all selected video sources in equal-sized windows.

Otherwise, the selected video sources will only be added to the MxCC system and can then be used to create layouts at a later date.

3.2.4 First Images And Network Parameter Configuration In MxEasy

Installing MxEasy

If you have an MxEasy installation CD, insert it into your CD/DVD drive. The assistant will guide you through the installation process. It this is not the case or if you would like to update to a newer version, you can download the latest MxEasy version for your operat system from the MOBOTIX website www.mobotix.com > Support > Software Downloads in the MxEasy section).

Using MxEasy For The First Time

To start MxEasy, double-click the shortcut or the program file itself.

Automated Search For MOBOTIX Cameras

If you start MxEasy for the first time on a computer, the Camera Selection dialog w appear, showing all detected MOBOTIX cameras. The camera list will be update automatically as soon as new cameras are connected to or removed from the network

MxEasy also automatically monitors and displays the operating status of all cameras. Cameras that are not on the same subnet as the computer will get a differently colored symbol than the cameras that are on the same subnet. Likewise, the cameras that

Download MxEasy for free from www.mobotix.com

have an unknown password or for which no user name/password combination has been specified in MxEasy will be displayed in a different color.

If all the desired MOBOTIX cameras are highlighted as Accessible in the video source list, you can proceed to theSelecting Cameras section below. Cameras with the status Invalid Network can be reconfigured for the "proper" subnet, as described in the following section.

Configuring MOBOTIX Cameras For A Different Network

Camera on a different subnet

Using Bonjour, MxEasy finds not only cameras on the same network as your computer, but also MOBOTIX cameras located in other subnets (Status Invalid Network). In such a case, you would not be able to establish any connection to cameras in a different network or subnet (without going into much further detail about the specific details TCP/IP network configurations). This is possible, for example, when a camera with a factory IP address is connected to a network in which a DHCP server automatically assigns the IP addresses. MxEasy can automatically configure such a camera so that it is "integrated" into your existing network. To do so, simply highlight the desired camera in the list.

Clicking Next displays a security prompt; if you click OK, the dialog for reconfiguring the selected camera will appear.

If your computer automatically obtains its IP address from a DHCP server, then this is certainly the best choice

The panel at the bottom right-hand corner always displays the most recent event image of whatever camera is visible in the large panel. Double-click on a small camera panel 1 move this camera's live image to the large panel. Click the Add cameras button at any time to add MOBOTIX cameras to MxEasy (max. 16 cameras in total).

3.2.5 Starting The Camera With An Automatic IP Address (DHCP)

If your network has a DHCP server, you can start the MOBOTIX camera with DHCP support. In this case, the DHCP server automatically assigns an IP address.

Once startup has been completed, the camera automatically announces its IP address, its network mask and its MAC address. Note that this announcement function only works with cameras with a loudspeaker (not the D24M!) and can be deactivated (Admin Menu > Loudspeaker and Microphone).

1. If the camera is running, disconnect the camera's power supply.
2. Reconnect the power supply of the camera.
3. Wait until both LEDs light up simultaneously for the first time. Press the camera's R key within four seconds.

1. After about two more seconds, the camera plays a sound ("Boing, Boing").
2. After about another 15 seconds, the camera will automatically announce its network data (only with ExtIO). You can now access the camera using this IP address.

Note

If you would like to have a running camera repeat its network settings, simply press the camera's R key once (ExtIO must be connected and activated).

Caution

When starting the camera with DHCP support, make sure that the network has a functioning DHCP server. 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 assigning the MAC addresses of the cameras to the desired IP addresses.

The procedure described here is only suitable for D24M installations in which an ExtIO module has already been connected and activated

The ExtIO module is available from the MOBOTIX accessories program

3.2.6 Starting The Camera With The Factory IP Address

Under certain circumstances, you may have to reset the camera to its factory IP address. This could be the case, for example, if the IP address has been lost or the camera does not respond to the last known IP address.

1. If the camera is running, disconnect the camera's power supply.
2. Reconnect the power supply of the camera.
3. Wait until both LEDs light up simultaneously for the first time.
4. Press the camera's L key within four seconds.

1. After about two more seconds, the camera is accessible via its factory IP address (see label on the camera housing).

Note

If you use the camera's L key to load the factory network configuration, this configuration is not automatically saved in the camera's Flash memory. When the camera is next rebooted without using L key, the last stored network configuration will be used. To permanently store the new network configuration in the camera's Flash memory, open Admin Menu > Store.

Caution

As opposed to resetting the camera using Admin Menu > Reset configuration to factory defaults, the user information will not be reset if the camera is booted using the factory IP address.

Notes

3.3 Virtual PTZ

The virtual PTZ function allows you to use a mouse or joystick to continuously zoom in on images from the selected video source and "virtually" move the enlarged image section within the entire image sensor area.

USB joystick offers greater ease of use

Operation Using The Mouse And Scroll Wheel

The vPTZ function of the D24M can be controlled in the browser using the mouse. By clicking any position on the image displayed on the monitor, this position becomes the new image center. The image moves and is corrected accordingly. The scroll wheel can be used to control the zoom function. This functionality is disabled in the default settings of the camera and must therefore first be activated. To do so, go to Setup Menu > vPTZ Settings and uncheck the Lock Mouse Wheel Zoom item. Then save the settings by clicking Set and Close. You can now use the scroll wheel to zoom + (roll upwards) or zoom - (roll downwards).

© MOBOTIX AG • Security-Vision-Systems • Made in Germany

Operation Using USB Joystick

A standard USB joystick can drastically facilitate vPTZ operation for the user – in the browser, in MxEasy and in the MxControlCenter (however, MxCC is also equipped with a virtual joystick that can be operated using the mouse). Please first install the joystick on the PC according to the manufacturer's instructions.

In order to use a USB joystick in the browser, make sure that you have a PC with a Windows operating system and the latest version of Internet Explorer and that the "ActiveX" mode in the camera software (browser) is activated:

• Switch to "Browser" in the Quick Control.
• Under "Browser", select the "ActiveX" option. The USB joystick can then be used until the browser is closed.
• To store the setting permanently, ActiveX must be activated in the Admin Menu. To do so, use "Language and Start Page" in the Admin Menu.
• Under the page options, select the "ActiveX" operating mode.
• Store the settings permanently by clicking "Set" and "Close" in the Admin Menu.
  • The joystick can now be used.

Notes

You will find more information and details on vPTZ in the Camera Software Manual Part 2, Section 4.3.6 (Virtual PTZ), the MxEasy manual, Section 2.4.1 (Activating the PTZ Features), the MxControlCenter manual, Section 2.4.6 (Using the vPTZ Features) and Section 3.1.4 ("PTZ Controls" in the sidebar panel).

The latest versions of all manuals are available at www.mobotix.com, Support > Manuals.

3.4 Correction Of Lens Distortion (L22 Only)

If you are using a D24M with the L22 90° wide-angle lens, the image, particularly the edges, may be slightly distorted due to the extreme angle of the lens.

Interior view of a modern building lobby with two people, one standing and one in safety vest, no visible text or signage.

You can suppress this effect using software (e.g. in the browser) so that a new and appropriately corrected image can be displayed live. A side effect of this correction, however, is that a cushion shape appears around the edges of the image.

Interior view of a modern office or exhibition space with blue walls and two people in safety vests (no visible text or signage)

To hide this cushion effect, you simply have to zoom in on the image slightly. Although this reduces the size of the captured area, the image is almost distortion-free compared to the original.

Interior view of a modern office or campus space with two people standing near large windows and blue walls (no visible text or symbols)

Since activated lens distortion correction requires additional processing power, you should consider disabling it in situations where it is not really necessary. You will only notice a minimal distortion of the image, especially if you use the zoom. However, the maximum frames rate for high resolution may be reduced, which means you have to choose between maximum distortion correction or maximum frame rate.

We recommend activating lens distortion correction, especially for applications with a low frame rate and non-zoomed images (e.g. when using the D24M as a webcam). However, images can usually be corrected at a later point in time when searching recorded images. This saves on processing power during recording and increases the frame rate. The more you zoom in on the image, the less distorted the image should appear.

Activate/Deactivate Lens Distortion Correction In The Browser

To activate this option, first specify the lens you are using in the Admin Menu > Camera Administration > Lens Configuration dialog (this setting is saved until the camera is reset to its default configuration). Select "L22 (4.0 mm)" option from the 'Lens Type Selector' field and then click "Apply" followed by 'Restart'.

Now select the "Lens Distortion Correction" option in the "Display Mode" Quick Control panel. An automatically corrected (live) image is displayed that can be panned, tilted or zoomed. Switching to the "Full Image" option will deactivate the automatic distortion correction function

Flash memory devices: more robust than hard drives

3.5 MicroSD Card Recording

3.5.1 Introduction

Flash-based storage devices (MicroSD cards, USB sticks and solid-state drives) do not contain any moving parts as compared to the commonly used hard drives. Flash-based storage devices are compact and highly resistant to moisture and vibrations. They feature low energy consumption and they do not lose any data in the event of a power failure, meaning that they are ideal for use with MOBOTIX cameras.

Number Of Write/Delete Cycles Per Flash Storage Cell

The number of write/delete cycles of every storage cell of a flash device is limited. The controller of the flash device automatically

detects individual flash cells that are no longer functioning. The contents of the faulty cell will then be rebuilt using a checksum and will be moved to a properly working spare cell. The faulty storage cell will be marked as "bad" and will no longer be used. No data is lost in this process.

In addition, MOBOTIX cameras constantly monitor activated flash storage devices. MOBOTIX has developed a technology to test the wear of the flash device by logging the number of write/delete cycles (patent pending). The flash memory wear is automatically displayed in the status bar in the live camera image but it can also be viewed at any time in the Admin Menu > Camera Status dialog box.

Conservative Memory Usage Thanks To MOBOTIX MxFFS File System

MxFFS formatting of the MicroSD card means that MOBOTIX camera software will use the flash device as evenly as possible, thus allowing for the maximum possible number of write/delete cycles. This also means that all storage cells of the flash device will be written and deleted with the same frequency, if possible. MOBOTIX technology increases the life of the flash device considerably and also improves the security and the reliability of the storage process.

Storage Requirements And Life Expectancy Of MicroSD Cards

The life expectancy of a MicroSD card increases proportionally to the storage capacity, since the camera software will execute fewer write/delete cycles on each storage cell. The first deletion will begin once the SD card has been filled to capacity (first full cycle).

Caution

The MicroSD card's service life depends on production quality and frequency of use. Set the type of recording (event-controlled or continuous recording, frame rate, resolution) according to your specific requirements.

We recommend changing the pre-installed, high-quality 4 GB MicroSD card once a year if you have it constantly set to continuous recording.

Monitoring The Cell Wear Of Flash Storage Devices (Patent Pending)

MOBOTIX uses its own technology for this purpose and has a pending patent. You can view the flash wear in the status bar of the live image or by opening Admin Menu > Camera Status. In addition, the camera can send a warning message (for example, via e-mail) if it detects a critical error while storing data (Admin Menu >

Error Notification). You can then exchange the MicroSD card in order to secure the stored data.

Formatting the card: Admin Menu > Storage on External File Server / Flash Device

The Safe Formatting option takes several hours. You can also use suitable applications on Windows, Linux/UNIX and Mac OS X computers to safely format the MicroSD card

3.5.2 Formatting The Card

Before a MOBOTIX camera can store image and video sequences on a MicroSD card, it needs to be formatted as MxFFS (MicroSD cards delivered with MOBOTIX cameras are already MxFFS-formatted). The following steps are necessary to format a storage device (Admin Menu > Storage on External File Server / Flash Device):

1. Make sure that there is a MicroSD card in the card slot of the MOBOTIX camera.
2. Click the Format button under SD Flash Card.
3. Select the Quick Format option and confirm by clicking OK.

Note: In contrast to the Quick Format option, the Safe Format option will make sure that the data on the MicroSD card is overwritten completely so that the data cannot be recovered in any way. However, keep in mind that the Safe Format takes considerably more time.

1. Enter the user name and the password of a user of the admins group in the dialog that opens and click OK to confirm. The MOBOTIX camera now starts formatting the card. It usually takes between 5 and 12 minutes to format an 8 GB MicroSD card using theQuick Format option and 3 to 14 hours using theSafe Format option.

Once the formatting has been completed, you can activate the MicroSD card for recording (see next section).

Caution

Make sure that you always wait until the formatting process has been completed before accessing the camera again. This usually takes only a few minutes when using the Quick Format option! You can only access the MicroSD card once MxFFS formatting has been completed!

The Safe Formatting option can take several hours. You can also use suitable applications on Windows, Linux/UNIX and Mac OS X computers to safely format the MicroSD card.

3.5.3 Activate Recording

Follow these steps to activate the recording to a MicroSD card that has already been MxFFS-formatted (Admin Menu > Storage on External File Server / Flash Device):

1. Make sure that there is a MicroSD card in the card slot of the MOBOTIX camera.
2. Make sure that the MicroSD card has been MxFFS-formatted (see Section 3.4.2 Formatting the Card).
3. Activate the SD Flash Card option.
4. Click Set, then Close to store the configuration.
5. Reboot the camera (Admin Menu > Reboot Camera).
6. Once the camera has rebooted, make sure that the camera displays the FR REC symbols in its live image. If this is the case, the camera uses the MicroSD card as recording target. If not, you can activate the recording (see below).

Activating The Recording

If the symbols FR REC are not visible in the camera's live image after rebooting, you need to activate the recording using one of the following methods:

• In the web browser: Automatic activation by clicking the Arm & Record softbutton. Confirm this in the Easy Dialog by clicking Yes.
• In the web browser: Manual activation via the Quick Control Recording > Recording on or in Setup Menu > Recording.
• MxEasy: You can use the MxEasy Alarm Planner feature to activate recording based on time and date (see also Section 2.5 Setting Up Alarms and Recordings in the MxEasy User Manual).

Activating Encryption And Authentication

If security is an issue, you can opt to store only encrypted video data on the MicroSD card. If you would like to use encryption, make sure that you activate this option when formatting the card. Note that you also need to enter an Authentication password. Switching from encrypted to unencrypted storage (and back) is not possible without reformatting the card.

Activating the storage device: Admin Menu > Storage on External File Server / Flash Device

This feature will be available in future software versions

3.5.4 Accessing Camera Data

The following options facilitate access to the stored image and video sequences on a MicroSD card:

• In the web browser: Play back the recorded event images without audio directly from the MicroSD card using the Playback view of the camera software.
• In MxEasy: Play back the recorded video sequences with audio by accessing the MicroSD card in the MOBOTIX camera via the camera.
• In MxControlCenter: Play back the recorded video sequences with audio by accessing the MicroSD card in the MOBOTIX camera via the camera or with a direct access to the MicroSD card via a card reader connected to the computer. Access the card by setting the MicroSD card's drive/volume as a "directory" in MxControlCenter.

If the MicroSD card's contents are encrypted, you need to enter the corresponding password before you can access the recorded video data. A dialog will automatically appear in MxControlCenter or MxEasy.

Caution

When using the MicroSD card from one MOBOTIX camera in another MOBOTIX camera, you need to make sure that the time on the original camera is in sync with the new camera. It is recommended to use automatic time synchronization via a time server (Admin Menu > Date and Time).

3.5.5 Deactivating The Card Memory

Follow these steps to deactivate the memory on a MicroSD card (Admin Menu > Storage on External File Server / Flash Device):

1. Activate the None option.
2. Click on Set button at the bottom of the dialog and then Close.
3. Reboot the camera (Admin Menu > Reboot Camera).
4. Once the camera has rebooted, make sure that the symbol FR REC is no longer visible in the bottom right-hand corner of the live image.
5. You can now safely remove the MicroSD card from the camera (see Section 2.12).

Caution

A MicroSD card may only be removed from the camera after you have deactivated. Recording to MicroSD Card and rebooted the camera. Failing to do so may lead to data loss!

Removing connected Flash storage devices from the camera without properly deactivating them may lead to data loss and/or destroy certain areas of the storage device. Due to MxFFS formatting, this is limited to 4 MB of lost data per incident.

3.5.6 Using A MicroSD Card In A Different MOBOTIX Camera

A MicroSD card containing recorded video data from a MOBOTIX camera can be inserted into any MicroSD card-enabled MOBOTIX camera. Once MicroSD card recording has been activated (requires a reboot), the "new" MOBOTIX camera automatically synchronizes with the card and resumes recording. No data is lost in this process. Make sure that you deactivate MicroSD card recording before removing the card and reboot the MOBOTIX camera!

If the MicroSD card's contents are encrypted, you need to enter the correct password in the "new" camera in the Admin Menu > Storage on External File Server / Flash Device dialog. Otherwise, the camera cannot access the MicroSD card.

3.5.7 Limitations On Warranty When Using Flash Storage Devices

MOBOTIX will not assume any responsibility for Flash storage devices (e.g. MicroSD cards or connected USB storage devices) delivered with or integrated into MOBOTIX cameras. The same applies to damage to Flash storage devices or damage resulting from the use of devices that are not supplied by MOBOTIX.

3.6 Full Image Storage

It is possible to store 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 specific detail.

Interior view of a modern office space with a person standing near a large wall, red arrow indicating direction, and blue carpet below (no visible text or symbols)

This means that you can use the vPTZ features in VGA resolution to pan, tilt and zoom the live image while the camera is e.g. recording full images at 1 fps in MEGA or QXGA resolutic

When using MxEasy or MxControlCenter, the recorded full images may be prepared for the user using vPTZ functions (e.g. panning and zooming in on an image detail such as a doorway)

It full image storage is not activated, only the last displayed live image will be saved (save what is seen). The main benefit of live image storage is to ensure that the full power of the camera processor is used for live image correction and maximum image rates

The main advantage of full image storage lies in the special functionality of the D24M, i 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-driver PTZ cameras mean that they simply cannot provide this unique advantage to the user!

Activate/Deactivate Full Image Storage In The Browser

To configure this feature, open the Setup Menu > Event Control > Recording dialog and activate or deactivate the "Full Image Recording" option.

Notes

Post-event search in the full image: If you are using Full Image Recording on D24M cameras, you should use at least MEGA resolution when storing. This will facilitate later searches in MxControlCenter or MxEasy. The advanced distortion correction features require this function to deliver satisfactory image quality.

Full Image Recording On: Due to its increased computing power, full image recording reduces the data rate of the live image stream, which may drop by about 10 to 30 percent. It is therefore recommended to reduce the image rate for storage as much as possible, so as to affect the live image stream as little as possible.

Full Image Recording Off: The event that triggered a video motion (VideoMotion VM) window may not be in the recorded sequences as the window was not displayed at the time.

3.7 Configuration In The Browser

3.7.1 Overview

A MOBOTIX camera can be completely configured using a JavaScript-enabled browser on all common operating system (such as Windows, Linux, Macintosh, etc.). The camera provides a HTML-based user interface for this purpose. The camera executes the change you make to the camera configuration via HTTP commands using programs and scripts the embedded software. The settings are stored in the camera's Flash memory.

This section contains an overview of the general browser settings of the MOBOTIX came as well as further configuration options. The Software Camera Manual Part 2 contains more detailed descriptions of the software features

3.7.2 General Browser Settings

- Run the Quick Installation: After booting the MOBOTIX camera for the first time, accessing the administration menu ( Admin Menu button) will automatically start the Quick Installation. The Quick Installation assistant helps you in setting the most important parameters of the camera. For security reasons, you should set your own administrator password and disable public access to the camera.

Open the Exposure Control Quick Control and select a predefined set of exposure windows. If required, you can also define custom exposure windows (Setup Menu > Exposure Settings).

=> (Software Camera Manual Part 2, Section 5.7)

- Activate event control and recording: By factory default, the MOBOTIX camera's event control is disabled. Click the Arm & Record button to activate event control. This will activate video motion detection and recording. Cameras with integrated Flash memory (MOBOTIX R models and models with SD card) will use the Flash memory by default to store the image and video data (recording target). If desired, you can set additional events and adjust the settings of the recording and storage parameters (Setup Menu > Event Settings, Setup Menu > Recording and Admin Menu > Recording to External File Server / Flash Device).

=> (Software Camera Manual Part 2, Chapter 7 and Chapter 8)

- Set up actions/messaging: Upon detecting an event, the MOBOTIX camera can trigger alarms. These alarms can be adjusted to your needs and you can assign them to one or more events: playing back a sound alarm on the camera speaker, showing the visual alarm in the camera live image, sending an e-mail or network message with the alarm image, placing a phone call, uploading an alarm image to an FTP server, switching a signal output line of the camera (e.g. for switching on the lights/opening a door). To change the corresponding settings, refer to the following dialogs: Setup Menu > Actions, Setup Menu > Messaging and Messaging 2 and Setup Menu > Enhanced Signal Out Options.

=> (Software Camera Manual Part 2, Chapter 7)

3.7.3 Additional Configuration Options

• Administering the camera: You can modify the camera configuration in the Administration menu or the Setup menu.
• Admin Menu: This menu contains the basic configuration dialogs of the camera (e.g. passwords, interfaces, software update).
• Setup Menu: This menu contains the dialogs for configuring the image, event and recording parameters. Some of these settings can be changed using the corresponding Quick Controls in the live screen.

- Resetting changes: If you would like to reset some larger changes in one dialog window without resetting the complete configuration, you can use the Default button at the bottom of the dialog to reset only this dialog's settings to the factory defaults. If you would like to reset all image settings, you can do so using the Manage Settings >Restore Image Settings of the Quick Control in the live image of the camera.

- Storing changes permanently: Once you have finished configuring the camera, you should always store the settings in the camera's permanent memory. You can do so in each dialog (clicking the Set button at the bottom of each dialog will temporarily implement the change; when you click Close, you will be asked to store the complete configuration in the camera's permanent memory) or in the admin menu (Admin Menu > Store current configuration into Flash memory). The Configuration section of the administration menu provides more functions for storing, copying and managing camera settings. For more information on this topic, see Chapter 5Basic Camera Configuration in the Camera Software Manual Part 2.

- Time tasks and time synchronization: Apart from a multitude of possibilities for controlling the camera using time (time tables, holiday and vacation, scheduled tasks, etc.), the camera can also synchronize its internal clock. This allows you to manually synchronize the camera with a computer or automatically using a time server or another MOBOTIX camera. The camera can use either NTP time servers or Time Protocol servers. For additional information, see Section 5.4.2 Date and Time/Time Zones and Time Servers in the Camera Software Manual Part 2.

- The "More" and "Less" buttons: When opening some of the camera dialogs, the camera only shows the most important parameters.

3.8 Additional Notes

3.8.1 Weatherproof Qualities

The MOBOTIX D24 IT/Secure models have been certified weatherproof according to IP65 (absolutely dust-proof and resistant to water jets) and can also be wall-mounted outdoors. The MOBOTIX D24 Basic has attained a protection class of IP54.

3.8.2 Password For The Administration Menu

Accessing the administration menu of the camera (Admin Menu button) is only possible after entering a user name and password.

• Factory default user name is admin
• Factory default password is meinsm

The Quick Installation assistant automatically appears when the administration menu is accessed for the first time. It provides an easy method to adjust the basic camera settings to the current application scenario. For security reasons, it is highly recommended to change the default administrator password after the camera has been properly configured.

Enter the user name and password exactly as shown above. Note that all entries are case-sensitive.

Caution

Make sure that you store information on user names and passwords in a secure place. If you lose the administrator password and cannot access the Administration menu, the password can only be reset at the factory. This service is subject to a service charge!

3.8.3 Starting The Camera With The Factory IP Address

If the camera's IP address is not known, you can start the camera with its factory IP address. Section 3.2.6 Starting the Camera with the Factory IP Address describes this procedure in more detail.

3.8.4 Reset The Camera To Factory Settings

All settings of the MOBOTIX camera can be permanently reset to the factory default settings. This makes sense if, for example, you have obtained a camera without any information or you would like to reset all settings after testing the camera. In order to perform this procedure, you need to have access to the administration area of the camera (admins group). Open Admin Menu > Reset to reset the camera to factory defaults.

Note: All defined users will be deleted and the admin password will be reset to the factory default when you reset the camera using Admin Menu > Reset. If you want to maintain existing users, use the method described in Section 3.2.6 Starting the Camera with the Factory IP Address.

3.8.5 Activate Event Control And Motion Detection

In its default configuration, the camera's event control and video motion detection features are not enabled. In order to activate event-controlled recording, open Setup Menu > General Event Settings and activate the Arming switch. Another method is to click the Arm & Record softbutton in the browser's user interface. The camera displays the video motion detection window in the live image (dotted frame in the center) and the camera automatically stores images as soon as the video motion window detects movements.

3.8.6 Deactivate Text And Logo Options

As the camera arming is deactivated in its default configuration (see preceding section), the MOBOTIX camera only displays the Text WWW.MOBOTIX.COM, the time stamp and the MOBOTIX logo at the top of the image. Once the camera arming has been activated, the text at the bottom of the live image (event, action, messaging and recording symbols) will also appear.

You can deactivate the status bar at the bottom of the live image and the text bar in the top left corner by setting Text Display in the Setup Menu > Text & Display Settings dialog to Off. Setting Text Display toDate & Timewill only display the time stamp in the live image.

To hide the logo in the live image, open Admin Menu > Logo Profiles and set Logo Display to Disable.

3.8.7 Deactivating The Daily Automatic Camera Reboot

Per factory default, the MOBOTIX camera automatically reboots every morning at 3:36 a.m. The reason for this is that in some rare cases external influences (e.g. radiation in high locations) can lead to camera malfunctions. The automatic reboot will refresh the camera's memory and will ensure proper operation without requiring any interaction on the part of the user. If desired, you can deactivate the automatic reboot of the camera in the Admin Menu > Time Tasks dialog.

If the dotted rectangle in the live image is visible, the camera is armed

Text and logos can also be deactivated or customized

3.8.8 Browser

Current Internet browsers (Internet Explorer, Netscape, Mozilla Firefox, Safari, Konqueror, Opera, ...) with enabled JavaScript can display the camera's live images with their standard settings. Text-based browsers (e.g. lynx) cannot display the user interface and are not suitable for operating the camera.

Section 4.1.3 Browser Settings in the Camera Software Manual contains more detailed information on possible browser problems.

3.8.9 Cleaning The Camera And Lens

If the lens becomes dirty during the installation process, clean the lens using a lint-free cotton cloth. Make sure that the lens is still in focus after cleaning and adjust its focus if required.

Cleaning The Dome:

• In order to protect the dome from being scratched and from getting dirty, only handle the dome using a soft cotton cloth or the protective plastic of the camera's shipping box.
• You should clean the dome at regular intervals. Always use a soft, lint-free cotton cloth for this purpose.
• If the dirt is more persistent, add a mild alcohol-free detergent without abrasive particles.
• Make sure you instruct cleaning personnel on how to clean the camera.

3.8.10 Safety Warnings

Electrical surges can be induced by other electrical appliances, improper wiring, but also from the outside (e.g. lightning strikes to phone or power lines).

MOBOTIX cameras are protected against the effects 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 specialists accustomed to installing network devices and who have proper respect for the pertinent regulations lightning protection and fire prevention, as well as the current technology for preventing damages from electrical surges.

Due to the high computing power of the D24M and the corresponding environmental conditions at the installation site, the temperature of the sensor board may rise to a relatively high level. However, this does not affect the functionality of the camera. Never touch the black metal plate of the sensor board directly while the camera is running with its dome removed.

Power over Ethernet. A technology for supplying network-enabled devices (e.g. IP cameras) with power via the Ethernet data cable.

PTZ

Abbreviation for Pan/Tilt/Zoom. Refers to the movement of a video camera to the left and right, up and down, and to the camera's ability to enlarge an image.

Quad Display

Layout in which the images from four cameras are displayed in one window.

Resolution

Indicates the number of pixels used to produce an image. The more pixels an image has, the greater the detail when the image is enlarged. The resolution is expressed as the number of pixel columns times pixel rows or as a total number of pixels. A VGA image has 640 columns and 480 rows (640 x 480 pixels), which equals 307,200 pixels or approximately 0.3 megapixels.

RoHS

Abbreviation for Restriction of Hazardous Substances Directive and refers to EC Directive 2002/95/EC, which prohibits the use of certain hazardous substances when manufacturing products and components. The goal of this directive is to prevent these substances from harming the environment when the products are disposed of later.

Router

Network device that connects multiple networks with one another. The router establishes a physical connection between the devices in different networks (like a hub), analyzes the relevant data packets and forwards ("routes") these packets to the correct target network.

SD Card

SD Memory Card (Secure Digital Memory Card). A digital storage medium based on Flash storage modules such as USB sticks.

Search

Monitoring of recordings or searching for a particular event.

Sequencer

Feature that automatically switches the camera displayed in the main window after a specific time delay.

Signal Input/Signal Output

Coupling a system that triggers an alarm (for example, a fire alarm system or a network camera) to a control center or another type of transmitter (for example, a telephone or IP network). A typical signal input/output scenario in video surveillance progresses as follows: an event triggers an alarm. This alarm then displays the video image from the network camera that triggered the alarm on the monitor at a control center. Snapshot Photograph of a situation created spontaneously and directly with a mouse click.

SIP

Session Initiation Protocol. Network protocol for setting up, controlling and terminating a communication connection via a computer network. SIP is frequently used in conjunction with IP telephony.

Switch

Hardware used to connect multiple network devices (computers, cameras, printers, etc.) within a network. A PoE switch can also supply the cameras with power over an Ethernet cable.

UPS

Uninterruptible Power Supply. Refers to devices that continue to supply power in the event of a sudden power failure. These devices usually operate using a battery. UPS is installed on the power lines of devices and systems in order to protect them in the event of a power failure.

VoIP

Voice over IP. Telephony using computer networks.

WLAN

Wireless Local Area Network. Used to provide Internet connections without the need for cables.
