1 INTRODUCTION

The M12 camera range represents the next model of the se-

cond generation of MOBOTIX network cameras. Now more po-

werful than ever, the new models are capable of creating high-re-

solution live video streams with high frame rates. When showing VGA

video (640x480), the camera can deliver up to 30 fps. Even Megapixel video

(1280x960) will still generate up to 10 fps. The camera transmits realtime sound

from the microphone, even in the browser.

Similar to previous MOBOTIX cameras, M12 cameras are available as SECURE, IT,

WEB and BASIC models with differing software features. The WEB and BASIC mo-

dels do not have a microphone. The M12 can be fitted with three M14 high-perfor-

mance lenses; additional lenses will be available in the future.

Like all other MOBOTIX cameras, M12 models are more than "just a camera"; the

integrated software features (Secure/IT models) include a multitude of functions,

such as video motion detection, long-term recording, alarm messaging and vi-

deo IP telephony. In camparison to camera systems from other manufacturers,

buying and installing additional software on the computer is thus unnecessary.

Instead of using a web browser, you can also download the free MxControlCenter

www.mobotix.com • [email protected]

6/92 M12 Camera Manual Part 1

30 frames per second!

Everything integrated!

for Windows from www.mobotix.com, which allows displaying multiple cameras

on one monitor. Moreover, MxControlCenter can also process incoming alarms

from the camera and al-

lows for comfortably sear-

ching and evaluating the

alarm video clips (including

audio).

Because of the low power consumption of only 3Watts, the MOBOTIX M12 came-

ras feature the highest operating temperature range in the market from -30 to +

60°C (-20 to 140°F). Since MOBOTIX cameras neither fog up nor require heating,

power can be supplied using standard PoE products. All models come with a wall

mount that covers wall outlets and perfectly conceals the cabling.

Using the new MX Interface Connector with D Sub 15 HD socket, you can directly

connect external lamps, devices, sensors, microphones and audio amplifiers. The

MOBOTIX Cam-IO expansion box simplifies installing the camera and expands on

these possibilities: All ex-

ternal devices, sensors and

the Ethernet cabling are

connected directly to the

installation box. Likewise,

the MOBOTIX Cam-IO in-

stallation box hooks up to

the mains and supplies

power to the camera, wi-

thout requiring any other

type of power supply.

1.1 MOBOTIX Cost Benefits

www.mobotix.com • [email protected]

8/92 M12 Camera Manual Part 1

Increased resolution reduces amount of cameras needed

960-line, high-resolution sensors give a better overview and allow

monitoring an entire room with just one camera from the corner

Reduced installation costs at any distance

Standard Ethernet connection enables the use of common network compo-

nents such as fiber, copper and wireless (WLAN)

Intelligent recording technology reduces required storage

Decentralized recording technology in the camera software puts less strain

on PCs and reduces the amount of storage PCs (DVRs) by 10 times

Event-controlled image rate minimizes storage costs

Event-driven, automatically adjusted recording frame rate based on event

or sensor action reduces amount of data and storage costs

No additional power and no heating required

Anti-fogging without heating allows usage of standard PoE technology to

power the system via network and saves costs of power cabling

Backup power requirement reduced by 8 times

Low power consumption, 3 Watt, enables year-round (no heating required)

PoE with one centralized UPS from installation room via network

Robust and practically maintenance free

Fiberglass-reinforced composite housing with built-in cable protection and

no mechanical moving parts (no autoiris) guarantees longevity

No software and no licence costs

Control and recording software is integrated in the camera and is free of

charge; new functions are available via free software downloads

Unlimited scalability and high return of investment

While in use, more cameras and storage can be added at any time; image

format, frame rate & recording parameters can be camera specific

Additional functions and other extras included

Audio support, lens, wall mount and weatherproof housing (-30° .. 60°C;

-22° .. 140°F) are incl.; microphone & speaker available in certain models
