One camera, two lenses.

Seeing more is just not possible.

Two lenses, two HiRes image sensors, up to 64GB internal storage and a dual image of a maximum

of 6 megapixels make the D14D DualDome an ecient security solution: It is possible to secure two

dierent areas using just one camera. All without vulnerable mechanical components!

FOREWORD

Dear MOBOTIX customer,

Congratulations on your decision to purchase an exceptionally ecient premium

network camera 'Made in Germany.' Thanks to its double lens and sensor assembly,

the D14D can monitor two dierent areas at once, for example, making it the most

powerful MOBOTIX Fixdome camera yet.

The integrated 4-GB long-term memory can now be expanded up to 64GB. An entirely

new MOBOTIX dual camera system architecture with HiRes image sensors ensures you

are able to transmit a dual image of up to 6 megapixels – also as a highly detailed 180°

panorama, if necessary (special model D14D Sec-180° with two 90° lenses).

The new MxBus and Mini USB camera interfaces make it particularly easy and cost eective

to connect add-on modules such as UMTS, GPS or data storage units.

This Camera Manual will give you an initial overview of the innovative MOBOTIX concept

that is at the core of this technology. This includes all the information you need to unpack

and install the camera (Chapter 2) and to view initial images on a PC (Chapter 3).

Please see the Software Camera Manual Part 2, included in the camera packaging, for

information on how to work with the many camera functions, such as event control or

image storage, for example.

If you would prefer to work with MxEasy or MxControlCenter instead of the browser-

controlled MOBOTIX camera software, you can download these programs for free including

a manual (PDF) from the MOBOTIX website: www.mobotix.com > Support> Software

Downloads.

If you still have any questions, our support and international sales sta are available at

[email protected] from Monday to Friday, 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. (German time).

Thank you for choosing MOBOTIX products and services. We trust you will be impressed

with the performance of your new D14D DualDome camera!

THE MOBOTIX CONCEPT

HiRes Video Innovations And Technology Leader

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 ecient.

MOBOTIX has been producing megapixel cameras exclusively

for many years now and is regarded as the global market

leader for high-resolution video systems.

Why High-Resolution Systems?

The higher the resolution, the more accurate the detail

in the image. With analog technology, a recorded image

generally has no more than 0.1 megapixels (CIF). One

single MOBOTIX camera with 3.1 megapixels records

around 30 times more detail. As a result, larger image areas 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 The Old Centralized Standard Solution

Usually, cameras only supply the images while the processing and recording is done later

on a central PC using expensive video management software. This traditional centralized

structure has many limitations, since it requires high network bandwidth and the PC processing

power is not enough for several cameras. An HDTV MPEG4 ﬁlm already puts considerable

strain on a PC, so how can it be

expected to process dozens of high-

resolution live cameras? Traditional

centralized systems are therefore

less suitable and unproﬁtable when

compared with high-resolution

systems due to the high number

of PCs needed.

The Decentralized MOBOTIX Concept

Unlike other systems, with the decentralized MOBOTIX concept, a high-speed computer

and if necessary, digital long-term memory (MicroSD Card) is built into every camera,

providing several days of recording time. The PC and the video control center now serve

only for viewing and controlling the cameras (PTZ), not for analysis or recording. This

makes it unnecessary to purchase expensive video management software, as the most

important and computer-intensive functions are already integrated in the MOBOTIX cameras.

The Beneﬁts

MOBOTIX video solutions therefore require signiﬁcantly:

•

fewer cameras due to the more accurate detail of panoramic images with megapixel

technology,

• fewer storage devices, because in the decentralized system, 10 times the standard

number of cameras can simultaneously store high-resolution HDTV video with sound

on one PC/server.

• lower network bandwidth, because everything is processed in the camera itself

and the high-resolution images therefore do not have to be constantly transferred

for analysis.

Robust And Low-Maintenance

MOBOTIX cameras have neither mechanical motors for lenses nor for movement. Without

any moving parts, they are therefore so robust that maintenance is reduced to a minimum.

The unique temperature range from -30 to +60 °C (-22 to +140 °F) is achieved without

heating or a fan at only 3 watts. Since no PC hard disk is required for recording, there are

no parts that wear out in the entire video system.

D14D Camera Manual: Superior Storage Solution

SUPERIOR STORAGE SOLUTION

MOBOTIX Storage Concept Without Bottlenecks

These days, video data is normally pre-processed and stored centrally on a PC or digital

video recorder (DVR) using video management software. Video and audio streams from

all installed cameras are directed to this central device. In this case, using high-resolution

cameras often results in data jam. Above all, storage is inecient, because if the PC has

limited computing power, the high-resolution video with a high frame rate must be sent

directly to a storage device before it can be processed.

If, like with MOBOTIX cameras, the camera adjusts the image format and the frame rate to

the correct values for the speciﬁc application (at a gas station, two frames per second are

enough for the recording), it relieves the load both of the network and of the recording device

(PC, server). MOBOTIX cameras can of course also minimize the recording independent

of the live video, and the sound channel is recorded even with video recordings of two

frames per second.

No Storage Limit

The decentralized MOBOTIX concept enables the user to save around 10 times the number

of cameras on a single storage device because the camera manages the recording

itself (on a PC, server, NAS), thus reducing load on the device. For this reason, practically

speaking, there is no memory limit for the entire system because theoretically, each

camera is able to manage its own terabyte-sized storage device via the network. Another

beneﬁt of this concept is the use of aordable, reliable NAS drives that do not require any

special software.
