Important Notes

Electrical Installation

Electrical systems and equipment may only be set up, changed and maintained by

a qualiﬁed electrician or under the direction and supervision of a qualiﬁed electrician

in accordance with the appropriate electrical guidelines.

Legal Aspects Of Video And Sound Recording

You must comply with all data protection regulations for video and sound monitor-

ing when using MOBOTIX products. Depending on national laws and the installation

location of the IP Video Door Station, the recording of video and sound data may be

subject to special documentation or it may be prohibited. All users of MOBOTIX

products are therefore required to familiarize themselves with all valid regulations

and comply with these laws. MOBOTIX AG is not liable for any illegal use of MOBOTIX

products.

Network Security

MOBOTIX products include all of the necessary conﬁguration options for operation

in Ethernet networks in compliance with data protection laws. The operator is respon-

sible for the data protection concept across the entire system. The basic settings

required to prevent misuse can be conﬁgured in the software and are password-

protected. This prevents unauthorized parties from accessing these settings.

Never Remove Domes/Lens Covers

The MOBOTIX cameras S15D and S15M should never be operated without their

preinstalled transparent domes (sensor modules S15D and housing S15M) or protec-

tive lens covers (sensor modules S15D). The camera is no longer weatherproof when

operated without the domes or protective lens covers. The exposed metal ring around

the lens can become extremely hot when the exterior temperature is high. Touching

this ring can cause burns.

Only Exchange Sensor Modules When Powered O

Make sure that the camera‘s power supply has been disconnected before attempting

to exchange any sensor modules.

FOREWORD

Dear MOBOTIX customer,

Congratulations on purchasing a professional and state-of-the-art HiRes network camera

“Made in Germany.” MOBOTIX is proud to present the S15 FlexMount, a weatherproof and

ﬂexible system (IP65) characterized above all by its extremely discreet installation options.

In the dual camera S15D version, one or two sensor modules (lens

with a sensor board, LEDs and microphone) are connected

to the base module via a 2m long cable (max.). The ﬂat

housing, including integrated long-term ﬂash memory and

external connectors (Ethernet, MiniUSB, MxBus, audio) can be

installed discreetly and with optimal protection behind a wall or ceiling panel so that only

the lenses are visible in the room. Twelve dierent sensor modules are available with lenses

from telephoto to hemispheric, each available in day or night models, in black or white.

The mono S15M camera version has a hemispheric sensor module (day or night) inte-

gratedinto the camera housing. This camera can also be placed discreetly and securely

behindwalls and ceilings or stainless steel panels.

The latest ﬁve-megapixel sensor modules with increased light sensitivity ensure brilliant

3MEGA live images, which can now be enlarged even further and show clear color images,

even under low lighting conditions. A single black and white sensor module also delivers

high-resolution 3MEGA images at night.

The MxEasy and MxControlCenter video management software, which is tailored to

MOBOTIX cameras, and a PDF manual can be downloaded from the MOBOTIX website

at no cost: www.mobotix.com> Support> Software-Downloads. MOBOTIX also pro-

vides mobile solution for the iPad, iPhone and iPod Touch mobile iOS devices. Search for

“MOBOTIX” in the App Store to ﬁnd the free app.

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).

We would like to thank you for your trust and wish you all the best with your new MOBOTIX

camera S15 FlexMount.

1 PRODUCT OVERVIEW

1.1 S15 FlexMount

Perfect For When Discretion Is Needed

Some application scenarios beneﬁt from a surveillance camera that is present, but does

not attract attention. Available in both mono and dual versions, the cameras feature a

discreet appearance, enabling a ﬂexible range of applications.

The easily concealable camera housing makes every S15 system the ideal solution wher-

ever discreet design and appearance are paramount. Digital network cameras without

mechanical moving parts require low maintenance. In addition, they are silent when

panning and focusing on a speciﬁc image area. As a result, typical applications for these

cameras are installations in hotels and restaurants, public and private buildings, waiting

rooms, showrooms, parking garages, storage rooms and exhibition booths.

Fast, Simple Cabling

The MOBOTIX S15 FlexMount requires just one cable for data and power to connect to a

PoE switch and thereby to any expandable Ethernet network. There are two options for a

weatherproof connection of the network cable to the housing. A MOBOTIX patch cable up

to 10meters in length can be plugged externally into the housing from below and secured

with a weatherproof bayonet catch, or the eight individual strands of the installation cable

can be attached directly to the LSA cutting clamp inside the camera housing.

A number of additional devices can be used together with the S15. They are connected

via a network switch or directly to the camera housing via a MxBus or MiniUSB cable (for

example, ExtIO, MOBOTIX interface boxes, audio devices, ﬂash drives or UMTS/WiFi USB

modems). If the network switch also features an Internet connection, it can be used for

encrypted access to the camera footage from anywhere in the world.

The entire camera plus cables and sensor modules are weatherproof (') and operate in

a temperature range of –30 to +60°C/–22 to +140°F. Because the S15 never fogs up and

does not require any heating, it can be operated all year round with power supplied via

a standard PoE network cable. Power consumption is less than ﬁve watts.
