Welcome to MOBOTIX—The HiRes Video Company
HiRes Video Innovations The German company MOBOTIX AG is known as the leading pioneer in network camera technology and its decentralized concept has made high-resolution video system cost efficient.
Why Use High-Resolution Systems? The high the resolution, the more details are in an image. Using traditional (analog) technology, a live image has no more than 0.4 megapixels and a recorded image only has 0.1 megapixels (CIF). On the contrary, a MOBOTIX camera with 3.1 megapixels records around 30 times more detail. As a result, larger image areas with up to 360° panorama are possible, thus reducing the number of cameras and therefore the costs.
Disadvantages of the Centralized Standard Solution Usually cameras only supply the images while the processing and recording is done later on a central PC using video management software. This traditional structure is unsuitable for high-resolution video systems, since it requires not only high network bandwidth, but also needs enormous PC processing power to support 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 systes are therefore neither cost-efficient nor suitable due to the large mnumber of PCs required for high-resolutions systems.
The Decentralized MOBOTIX Concept Unlike other systems, the decentralized MOBOTIX concept incorporates a high-speed computer and, if necessary, a digital memory (SD card) for long-term recording in every camera. The PC is now used only for viewing, not for analysis or recording. As a result, MOBOTIX cameras can record events even without running a PC and digitally record videos with sound for archiving purposes.
The Benefits MOBOTIX video solutions therefore require significantly:
· fewer cameras due to the more accurate detail of wide-angle images with megapixel technology, · fewer PCs/DVRs, because around 40 cameras can store high-resolution video with sound efficiently on a single PC, or no PC at all when recording on the camera’s digital storage (USB, SD card), · 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 do not require an lens or positioning motors. Without any moving parts, they are so robust that maintenance is reduced to a minimum. The unique temperature range from -22° to +40°F ( -30° to +60°C) is achieved without heating or fan at only 3 watts power consumption. Since no PC hard disk is required for recording, there are no parts that wear out in the entire video system.
Software Included - For Life There are no software licensing costs with MOBOTIX, because the software is always supplied within the camera - for an unlimited number cameras and users. The software package supplied with the camera also includes a professional control center software. Updates are supplied free of charge on the website.
