The
weatherproof (IP65) MOBOTIX M1 digital camera
transmits live video in large format (640x480) at
minimal network load, saves several hundred images in
the camera itself and automatically updates images on
web sites or sends emails. Actions can be triggered time
or event-controlled. The camera features an integrated
computer and web server; Ethernet and ISDN ports are
already integrated.
No software
installation is required. Video images are loaded
and camera parameters are set using a standard web
browser (e.g. Explorer). Provided the camera is
physically connected to it, it can be accessed through
the Internet.
Due to its low
power consumption (approx. 2 W), power can be
supplied directly through the ISDN
line or through the network cable. A power supply or
a power splitter at the camera location are not
required. Power can thus be supplied from a central
location, making UPS protection a snap.
The MOBOTIX
camera's integrated software-based image enhancement
facility runs a white balance, contrast
adjustment and a digital sharpness filter on every
image, thus producing brilliant color images. Expoure
control using the freely configurable exposure
zones provides for efficient control of backlight
sceneries.
As the
integrated sensors (microphone, passive infrared
(PIR) motion sensor, signal input) and the video
sensor can react to movements in the image area, the
camera can trigger event-controlled actions like
recording and uploading images to the
Internet.
The IT and Secure
models are already equipped with full-scale ISDN
voice integration, which means that it is possible
to establish a voice connection to the person in front
of the camera from any phone, provided the camera is
connected to an ISDN line. In case of an alarm, the
camera can automatically place a voice call to a
specific phone number, it can call alternative numbers
(several times if desired) and it can wait for a
confirmation PIN. After receiving the camera's voice
message, it automatically switches the microphone online
so you can listen to what's going on in the room or even
use the speaker for talking. The camera's voice messages
can even be customized to suit your purposes.
Patented Remote
Access: With an ISDN phone call, the MOBOTIX camera
can be instructed to dial into the Internet and to
announce the dynamic IP address obtained from the ISP
via the phone. Enter this number into any Internet
browser from anywhere in the world, and you can access
the live and the recorded images of the
camera.
Voice Over
IP is possible from software version 1.93 (April
2003) in high quality and in combination with MOBOTIX'
free MxPEG Viewer for Windows. The first public demos of
this system will run at CeBIT 2003. Several users may
listen to one camera in parallel.
The MOBOTIX
MxPEG
video encoding process (patent pending) allows for large
format live video (640 x 480) at standard data transfer
rates of about 1 Mbps. Due to the low network
load of 1% on a 100MBps network, live video (640 x
480) no longer poses a problem to existing networks or
for transferring images via the Internet.
For low light
conditions or infrared lighting we offer special lenses
or the Day & Night camera featuring two image
sensors and two lenses (for daylight and night).
The network
CCTV concept of MOBOTIX provides for long-term
recording and management of video data on a standard
file server (Linux, Windows) without installing any
specific software. The database software and the search
and play functions are shipped with the camera.
Another MOBOTIX
standard feature is Multi View which allows
displaying several live and/or recorded images/events in
one single browser window simultaneously.
You can assign any
desired camera function to the configurable soft
buttons on the left side. The can also be used to
transmit control sequences via the serial interface,
e.g. to control a PLC, a heating control system, or a
telephone system.
In an industrial
environment the Web Terminal is the preferred
choice. It supports a terminal connection (up to
115kBaud) to the serial interface via network, ISDN, or
Internet. Using this setup you can not only monitor
production machines but also control them remotely.
Most of the camera
functions, image evaluation and compression procedures
are performed by the software contained in the camera
and driven by a high-performance Intel StrongARM CPU
(235 MIPS) and a standard Linux operating system. A
simple software update via your browser uploads
the latest camera functions and compression standards
free of charge to your camera.
